Hilton pointed to the cryptocurrency market’s performance after several significant developments during the week. At the time of his recording, XRP traded around 1% higher, while the overall market gained approximately 2%. Currently, XRP is trading at $1.40 and is up 8.35% in the last 24 hours. He also noted gains in Solana, Zcash and Hyperliquid as several major cryptocurrencies traded higher.
The commentator focused on the market’s response to the CLARITY Act setback, the Federal Reserve’s rate increase and the Bank of Japan’s rate increase. Hilton said these events could have created significant pressure across the market, but Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, XRP and Solana avoided a major decline.
Hilton acknowledged that crypto prices moved lower when the CLARITY Act effectively went by the wayside. However, he said the market recovered fairly well afterward and largely shrugged off the legislative setback’s impact.
He described this market resilience as the first piece of good news for crypto holders.
Hilton then pointed to regulatory developments from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as another positive factor.
According to Hilton, both agencies have started establishing guardrails and guidelines for the cryptocurrency industry. He specifically referenced the CFTC’s approach to self-custody wallets, saying the agency has indicated that people who keep wallets on their phones would not need to register those wallets.
Hilton connected these actions to the regulatory role he expected the SEC and CFTC to assume if the CLARITY Act failed to become law. He said the agencies are now moving forward with measures that could provide greater clarity for the industry.

Despite his positive assessment, Hilton also pointed to an important limitation. He emphasized that these regulatory measures have minimal legal backing and said future political changes could affect crypto regulation.
Hilton specifically raised the possibility that the Senate could affect lawmakers supporting cryptocurrency-related policies. He said such changes could eventually produce a different regulatory environment.
For the short to medium term, however, Hilton said he likes the developments emerging across the market and regulatory landscape. He also noted that the Bank of Japan’s rate decision produced limited immediate impact on cryptocurrency prices.
Hilton ended his discussion by reiterating his long-term approach to the market. He described himself as a long-term bull trader who buys and holds, while presenting the recent market recovery and regulatory developments as reasons for his continued positive outlook.
