CLARITY stalls, Kalshi heads toward SCOTUS & Wall Street goes onchain

CoinDesk’s The Policy Protocol hosts Rebecca Rettig and Renato Mariotti break down the Ninth Circuit’s ruling against prediction markets like Kalshi, New Jersey’s push to bring the fight before the Supreme Court, and the SEC’s new roundtable on 24/7 trading featuring a roster of TradFi heavyweights. Then, Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Head of Legal at Chainlink, joins the show to discuss 21 global banks planning a joint stablecoin and what it could mean for Circle and Tether, why Kraken’s Bitnomial acquisition could offer a “creative” path to bring Hyperliquid onshore, and the London Stock Exchange’s push to bring its 100 largest companies onchain. Plus, Kirkpatrick makes the case that legislation remains the only durable way to “future-proof” crypto, while Rebecca and Renato debate whether Congress is entering a post-CLARITY era.
