## Resource

The window for passing critical crypto market structure legislation is closing as the midterms approach. Meanwhile, Israel is challenging US dollar dominance by launching its first shekel-pegged stablecoin on Solana.

## Highlights

- Regulatory pressure: Over 100 industry groups are urgently lobbying Congress to act before the midterm elections
- Sovereignty play: Israel's approval of the BILS token marks a strategic move to reduce reliance on dollar-pegged stablecoins
- Market trend: Institutional Bitcoin accumulation remains steady at $200M to $300M per week
- Failure mode: If the CLARITY Act misses the current legislative window, crypto regulation may stall until after the midterms
