PANews reported on February 14th, citing DL News, that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated in an interview with CNBC that advancing long-stalled crypto legislation, such as the Clarity Act, would help stabilize the currently weak market and restore investor confidence. Bessent pointed out that Bitcoin has a history of volatility, but some of the current volatility is "self-inflicted." He stated that a group of Democrats wanted to work with Republicans to advance market structure legislation, but some crypto companies have been obstructing it. He indicated that providing clarity for the Clarity Act would be a great comfort to the market during this period of historic volatility and sell-off, and that completing this work as soon as possible is crucial.

The cryptocurrency industry and the banking sector must reach an agreement on the market structure bill by March 1. Bessent stated that there is a great deal of innovation in crypto and its derivative blockchain and DeFi fields, and the bill should be submitted to the president for signature as soon as possible in the spring.

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.
