Crypto Market Round Up: August 10 2026
Chang.K·Aug 10, 2026·3 min readSenate sets CLARITY Act vote for September 15 as MetaMask launches AI trading wallets and Galaxy confirms $111M in Coldcard losses.
A Senate showdown, an AI wallet launch, a confirmed $111M exploit, and a new ETF contender shaped the week in crypto.
↳ Senate Majority Leader Thune filed cloture on the CLARITY Act, scheduling a 60-vote procedural vote for September 15. Republicans need at least 7 Democrats. Ethics provisions remain the key sticking point.
↳ MetaMask launched Agent Wallet, a self-custodial wallet that lets AI agents trade autonomously across 12 networks with spend limits, threat scanning, and up to $10K in monthly loss coverage. Guard Mode and Beast Mode let users set the level of AI autonomy.
↳ Galaxy Research confirmed 1,719 BTC ($111M) stolen in the Coldcard exploit across 25+ attack patterns. Total losses may top $130M. Coinkite destroyed remaining vulnerable inventory and is coordinating with law enforcement.
↳ Cardano hit the SEC's six-month CME futures milestone on August 9, clearing the regulated trading window required for spot ETF eligibility. Grayscale's Cardano Trust ETF decision is expected around October 23.
