- •トランプ大統領はホワイトハウスでCoinbase CEOのBrian Armstrongら暗号資産業界関係者やPaul Atkins SEC委員長らと会合を持ち、Clarity Actの可決を求めた。採決は今年の停滞を受け、9月に行われる見通し。

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have taken in more than $1 billion in fresh cash over the past three days, helping push bitcoin to nearly $73,000.
On Wednesday alone, investors bought more than $500 million worth of shares in the funds managed by BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale, according to data from Farside Investors. The sustained inflows matter because spot bitcoin ETFs have become a major channel for institutional and retail exposure to the asset since their launch, and daily flow data is often watched as a gauge of demand.
Bitcoin’s price has risen sharply this week and reached $72,659 on Thursday before easing slightly. It was recently priced at $72,606, up 10% over the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency remains a little more than 40% below its October record of $126,080.

President Trump on Wednesday held a meeting at the White House with crypto executives, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, as well as regulators such as Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins.
At a press conference afterward, the president said the Clarity Act was a “very, very powerful” piece of legislation and urged lawmakers to pass it.
The crypto market structure bill passed the House of Representatives last year but has remained largely stalled this year. Some lawmakers had hoped for a vote in August, but that is now expected to take place in September.
Crypto businesses have long called for clearer rules in the industry. The Clarity Act aims to create a framework for distinguishing between digital assets that are securities, commodities, or payment stablecoins, a distinction that could shape how exchanges, issuers, and investors operate in the U.S. market.
The largest share of this week’s inflows has gone to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which has received $588.5 million since Monday.
Other funds, including Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin Trust, also saw significant trading activity.
Investors may also be responding to the Treasury Department’s announcement on Wednesday that it would more than double the size of its government debt repurchases.
Lower long-term yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets such as bitcoin and gold, and typically support risk-on sentiment. Both assets rose as the dollar weakened after the announcement.
