Coinbase and Wall Street had some drama at Davos.

Apparently, JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon did not take kindly to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong accusing them of ruining the Clarity Act, and interrupted Armstrong’s coffee date with Tony Blair to say so:

“You are full of s—,” said Dimon, a longtime crypto skeptic who previously called bitcoin a fraud, his index finger pointed squarely at Armstrong’s face. Dimon, in a nutshell, told him to stop lying on TV, according to people familiar with the conversation.

The Clarity Act clears one hurdle in the Senate, but hints at another:

In a 12-11 vote along party lines, the Senate Agriculture Committee, which regulates commodities, voted on Thursday to advance its portion of the crypto market structure bill to a Senate floor vote. This is not a good sign for the crypto industry, which had hoped that the bill would pass with bipartisan support. (In the meantime, the Senate Banking Committee’s half of the bill, which handles securities, remains stuck in markup limbo.)

Senate GOP to Democrats: please don’t negotiate with us about ICE funding.

With less than two days before a partial government shutdown over funding for the Department of Homeland Security, Republican leadership is trying to dodge the hard work.

“I think right now the conversation should be between the White House and Democrats,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said. “The White House obviously is open to negotiation.” Democratic leaders, meanwhile, repeatedly put the onus on Thune for getting a deal. “We have to pass the bill here,” Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.), the top Democratic appropriator, told reporters. “He’s the majority leader.”
