PANews reported on January 13th that, according to Cryptopolitan, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson expressed doubt in an interview that the U.S. Digital Asset Markets Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) would pass in the first quarter of 2026, and called for the resignation of David Sacks, the Trump administration's head of cryptocurrency affairs. Hoskinson pointed out that since Sacks took the position in late 2024, cryptocurrency prices have fallen, regulations have lacked clarity, and the industry has failed to build a solid foundation for development.

He believes Sacks should resign if the bill fails to pass this quarter, calling him a "disappointment to the entire industry." Hoskinson also stated that the bill would be even less likely to pass if Democrats regain control of the House in the November midterm elections. He criticized current US crypto policy for favoring large financial institutions over retail investors and centralizing the industry in Wall Street firms like BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. Furthermore, Hoskinson reiterated that Trump-related cryptocurrency projects have caused market chaos, emphasizing that cryptocurrencies should remain global and neutral, not nationalized or politicized. He advocates for lasting and unrestrictive crypto regulations in the US, even if it takes longer.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
