Add in the Clarity Act returning to the Senate, stablecoin payments moving tax-free, the Fed approving Kraken as the first digital asset bank, Deutsche Börse dropping $200M into Kraken, a Kraken extortion scandal, and the Bitcoin halving officially hitting its halfway mark — and you've got the most confusing market in modern history.
