U.S. Representative Bryan Steil (R-WI) argues Congress should advance stablecoin regulation and crypto market structure legislation in tandem. Steil contends the two areas are interconnected and progress together benefits both the stablecoin and broader crypto sectors. Steil expressed his opinion during a recent podcast , highlighting the increased energy from the Senate toward the stablecoin bill after President Donald Trump urged the bill to be ready before the August recess. Trump’s request fueled speculation among crypto watchers about imminent bills potentially redefining the U.S. crypto landscape. Steil, who chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee covering digital assets, fintech, and AI, views the Senate as a partner and plans to match their pace.

Steil outlined the process for passing these key pieces of legislation. He noted significant support for the Genius Act, introduced in the Senate by Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN). In the House, Steil partnered with Rep. French Hill (R-AR) to sponsor the Stable Act, and an updated version is planned that aims to align more closely with the Senate bill. Steil anticipates both the House and Senate passing their respective versions before reconciling differences to craft a single, final bill for passage in both chambers. This detailed legislative path, while potentially seeming lengthy to some industry observers, allows lawmakers to focus on “getting things right,” according to Steil.

Harpie, an on-chain firewall project designed to protect crypto users from various forms of theft, announced it has ceased operations and will no longer provide its security services. The team, whose mission involved preventing threats like phishing scams and smart contract exploits, acknowledged challenges in finding a sustainable business model to support its long-term goals. According to Harpie’s official announcement, while the project successfully developed valuable security tools, these efforts ultimately failed to achieve the financial viability necessary for continued operation. This outcome occurred despite Harpie securing $4.5 million in a September 2022 seed funding round led by prominent venture firm Dragonfly Capital. The project couldn’t generate enough sustained revenue or user growth to maintain its services.

Anyone encountering failed transactions using Harpie’s RPC endpoint now is advised to disconnect from it through their wallet’s network settings. Harpie assured users it would provide the necessary tools and instructions to move vaulted assets in the coming days. The company confirmed that commitments related to Harpie’s Season 1 and referral program giveaways will still be honored. Users are encouraged to monitor the official Harpie Discord channel for updates and specific instructions regarding asset withdrawal and reward distribution. Despite closing down, the Harpie team expressed gratitude to its user base. They also hoped the project’s work might inspire other companies to continue developing robust solutions for a safer crypto environment. While Harpie’s specific business model didn’t succeed, its efforts against digital wallet theft and fraud could potentially inform future security innovations within the crypto space.
