Senate Majority Leader John Thune still intends to file cloture on the motion to proceed to the CLARITY Act before lawmakers leave for August recess, according to sources.
Negotiators continue working through disagreements over stakingyield and bipartisan ethics language.
Cloture requires 60 votes; Republicans have 53 in support, meaning at least seven Democrats must cross.
Senate Republican leadership is still preparing to advance the CLARITY Act before Congress begins its August recess, even as lawmakers continue negotiating several unresolved provisions that have repeatedly delayed the crypto market-structure legislation.
In an X post on Saturday, journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s office has told crypto industry leaders that he still intends to file cloture on the motion to proceed to the CLARITY Act before lawmakers leave Washington.
🚨NEW: Leader Thune’s office is telling crypto industry leaders today that the majority leader still intends to file cloture on the motion to proceed to the Clarity Act before lawmakers leave for August recess, per multiple sources.
The move would tee up a vote on the Clarity…
— Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) August 7, 2026
If that procedural step is completed, it would allow the Senate to take up the legislation after lawmakers return in September, though the bill’s ultimate path remains uncertain.
The signal comes days after the CLARITY Act missed its August 7 deadline. Thune declined to file the cloture motion required to start a floor vote, instead filing on the motion to proceed to the Protect College Sports Act, on a substitute amendment to the continuing-resolution vehicle, and on Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general, with no corresponding filing for CLARITY. Terrett read the college sports filing as a signal that no bipartisan agreement existed on the crypto bill.Under Senate Rule XXII, a cloture motion must ripen for an intervening day before a vote can occur, which is why the filing deadline runs ahead of any floor action.
Latest step in weeks of Senate negotiations
The reported plan follows several weeks of stop-and-start negotiations surrounding the CLARITY Act.
Earlier this week, Senate leaders delayed filing cloture as negotiators attempted to bridge differences over key sections of the bill, particularly ethics provisions and the treatment of staking yield. Despite those delays, Thune’s office now appears to be keeping the legislation on the Senate’s agenda rather than postponing it indefinitely.
Under Senate Rule XXII, a cloture motion must ripen for an intervening day before a vote can occur, which is why the filing deadline runs ahead of any floor action.
The latest update also follows Senator Tim Scott’s public call for the Senate to begin considering the CLARITY Act before lawmakers departed for the August recess, arguing there was still enough time to move the legislation forward despite competing items on the legislative calendar.
Yield dispute returns to the forefront
One of the biggest obstacles remains the bill’s language governing staking yield.
According to Terrett’s reporting, negotiations over yield have intensified after recent Wall Street Journal opinion pieces and renewed lobbying from banking groups, which have reportedly convinced some Republican lawmakers that portions of the current language should be revised.
Negotiators are now attempting to find a compromise that preserves support from the digital asset industry while addressing concerns raised by traditional financial institutions.
Ethics talks continue
Lawmakers are also still trying to reach agreement on bipartisan ethics provisions, another issue that has complicated efforts to assemble sufficient Senate support.
Previous negotiations have centered on conflict-of-interest rules and restrictions involving public officials’ participation in digital asset markets.
Without an agreement on ethics language, the bill could struggle to attract the bipartisan backing likely required to clear procedural hurdles in the Senate.
Industry pressure builds
The latest procedural update comes as pressure from the crypto industry continues to mount.
Earlier this week, Senator Bill Hagerty called for a Senate vote on the CLARITY Act, arguing the United States risks falling behind other jurisdictions in developing a regulatory framework for digital assets.
Recently, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong urged senators to “call the vote,” arguing that the legislation had broad support and was being delayed by procedural negotiations rather than fundamental policy disagreements.
Industry groups have likewise continued pressing lawmakers to advance the bill, arguing that a federal market structure framework is needed to provide regulatory clarity for digital asset businesses operating in the United States.
White House yet to respond
The White House has not publicly commented on the latest negotiations.
According to Terrett’s sources, there has been no new response from the administration, although officials are reportedly under less immediate pressure to weigh in now that Senate leadership intends to pursue cloture before the recess.
Whether the CLARITY Act ultimately advances will depend on lawmakers’ ability to resolve disagreements over staking yield, ethics provisions, and broader bipartisan support before the Senate returns in September.

Thank the Founders. This article contains spoilers for “Silo” Season 3, Episode 6, “The Drive.”
What’s the real reason behind the success story of “Silo” Season 3 to this point? Could it be as straightforward as the sheer star power of main lead Rebecca Ferguson and the nerves of steel behind her portrayal of Juliette Nichols? Is it the inescapable parallels between this dystopian tale and our own hyper-digital existence in a 21st Century surveillance state? Or has creator Graham Yost simply found the perfect balance between a faithful retelling and an adaptation willing to depart from the original books when needed? We’d say it’s all of the above … and more.
Of all the reasons why “Silo” remains the most underrated show on Apple TV, perhaps it has to do with Season 3 finally confirming — beyond any doubt — who its best character is and why. Make no mistake, Mayor Juliette has to rank near the top of anyone’s list, of course. But we’re willing to accept that the contenders for this title are many. There’s the returning (but seemingly reformed) villain Bernard Holland (Tim Robbins), perhaps, or maybe Harriet Walter as Juliette’s ever-reliable ally Martha Walker. The dark and mysterious Robert Sims (Common) feels worthy of the crown, but is there a dark-horse candidate (or two) in Jessica Henwick’s Helen Drew and Ashely Zukerman’s Daniel Keene?
No, our pick has been a steady presence in “Silo” since the beginning, and this week’s installment only emphasizes why there’s only one name that applies: Camille Sims. Thanks to Alexandria Riley’s committed performance, writing that allows her to be as complex and conflicted as the story demands, and an episode that provides the perfect opportunity to showcase her strengths and weaknesses as a character, we’re making it official: Camille rules.
Camille Sims gets two show-stopping scenes in Silo Season 3, Episode 6
Apple TV
I’ll be honest — I didn’t go into “Silo” Season 3 expecting big things from Camille Sims, of all people. Technically, she’s been a mainstay since the first season, but only later on when the plot begins to escalate and a fugitive Juliette holds her and her son hostage in a desperate attempt to escape the authorities (including, namely, Camille’s husband Robert) in Episode 9. She appears more frequently throughout Season 2, but it hasn’t been until this year that she’s finally come into her own as the unexpected Head of IT, handpicked by the Algorithm.
And what a choice she’s proven to be. Where Bernard spiraled into a suicidal depression at the reveal of the Safeguard procedure, Camille has proved far more capable of getting her hands dirty and making impossible choices. No, none of this makes her a heroic figure, a devoted and trustworthy wife to Robert, or a Mother of the Year recipient for her young son Anthony (Oscar Coleman), who’s doomed to forget everything about his parents should her plan involving Vitamin D (already dumped into the water supply) go off without a hitch. But this sure makes her into as compelling an individual as any other in the entire show — if not the most by far.
She proves this emphatically in a pair of moments in “The Drive.” First, the tension simmering between herself and her husband ultimately boils over when Anthony acts out at school. Robert isn’t wrong when he implicitly lays the blame at Camille’s feet … but neither is she when she calls him out for keeping secrets of his own. But the second one is the clincher, when she takes her frustrations out on the Algorithm itself.
Camille Sims becomes the MVP of Silo Season 3 in her confrontation with the Algorithm
Apple TV
Welcome to the big leagues, Camille Sims. “Silo” Season 3 has taken great pains to depict our newest antagonist as someone with the absolute best of intentions while also having what it takes to go to great lengths and see her mission accomplished at all costs. On the surface, that’s a combination that our main protagonist Juliette shares as well, but with one striking difference. Only Camille is willing and able to damn the rest of the Silo to a memoryless fate by unknowingly ingesting the Vitamin D drugs if it means saving their lives … or what remains of it, anyway.
This is front and center in Camille’s big confrontation with the Algorithm following her disastrous family dinner at home. Having finally reached her breaking point, the Head of IT lashes out at the Silo’s enigmatic decision-maker and accuses it of making a “mistake” by allowing Juliette to send friends to the other Silo in order to rescue the children left behind in Season 2. Camille’s greatest (and worst) attribute is her sense of right and wrong, along with her stubbornness in believing that she’s always making the correct call. But it isn’t until she admits she’s “failing” as Head of IT and as a mother/wife that she’s able to reset, rebalance, and remember why she was picked for this role — because she’s capable, as the Algorithm helpfully tells her.
It’s a rare moment of introspection for Camille, but it may prove to be a turning point. When we next find her ordering Juliette around, we can practically see the clarity of purpose written on her face. Strap in, folks. “Silo” Season 3’s big bad is only getting started.
XRP fell 2.05% in 24 hours to $1.02, the lone red coin among the top 10; every other major is green.
The Senate left Washington without voting on the Clarity Act, delaying the market-structure bill until at least September.
XRP trades within a confirmed death cross, but prediction market traders remain optimistic for now.
The Senate left town without taking up the Clarity Act, pushing the market-structure vote to at least September. Every major coin shrugged it off—except XRP.
While Bitcoin stayed flat, dealing with its own headwinds, and Dogecoin gained 1.38% over the day to be the best performer in the top 10 crypto assets by market cap, XRP dropped 2.05%, the only major token to close red.
On a week that saw it fall 3%, it’s the weakest of the majors by a wide margin.
The delay isn’t just procedural for XRP. The token’s entire 2025–2026 rally thesis rested on the U.S. finally deciding what XRP is. The Clarity Act would sort crypto into securities and commodities and, in drafts Decrypt previously reported, would reclassify XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin as non-securities.
That means these coins would fall under the regulatory purview of the CFTC, widely viewed as the more preferable option by crypto industry observers, rather than the historically tougher SEC.
For Ripple, whose co-founder created the XRP cryptocurrency, that’s the prize years of litigation were about: a federal answer to the SEC’s long fight over whether XRP was an unregistered security. Ripple agreed to pay $50 million to settle its cross-appeal with the SEC, but a statute beats a settlement.
A law settles the question for every exchange, custodian, and regulator at once. Without it, XRP stays in legal limbo—and limbo is what the chart appears to be pricing.
XRP price: What the charts say
XRP is trading at $1.028, roughly a $64 billion market cap, down 0.71% on the day, after a red candle that has kept it pinned just above the $1.00 psychological floor. It’s the second-lowest print on the daily chart since early 2024, above only the $0.9153 low marked last month.
XRP price data. Image: Tradingview
The trajectory is a clean, grinding downtrend. XRP has been in a strong bearish trend since 2025, when it reached $3 per coin. The 50-day EMA (the average price over the last 50 sessions) has crossed below the 200-day EMA (the average over the last 200 sessions) in a formation known as a death cross. XRP’s current price is below both lines, so there’s no average acting as support beneath it.
The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, reads 35.9. RSI is a momentum gauge on a 0–100 scale: above 70 is overbought, below 30 is oversold. At 35.9, momentum is bearish with room for more downside before buyers typically step in.
The Average Directional Index, or ADX, reads 11.9. ADX measures trend strength, not direction: below 20 means the move lacks conviction and chop is common. However, the Squeeze Momentum indicator is still off, meaning volatility is expanding rather than coiling.
No compression means no loaded spring waiting to fire; moves here tend to be slow.
A bull case would appear if a daily close back above $1.10 (the lower Fib zone and first real resistance) and then the $1.13 point of control signal the floor is holding. An advance in the Clarity Act, though not until September at the earliest now, could also ignite some bullish appetite among traders.
Bear case: a break under $1.00 opens the path to $0.9153, the chart’s lowest mark since 2024. A daily close there confirms the downtrend and erases the post-2024 recovery. The current trend is bearish, so this is a very likely scenario.
On Myriad, a prediction market developed by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, traders are currently optimistic on XRP’s short-term outlook. Traders are pricing in 77% odds that XRP stays above $1.00, at least over the weekend.
For now, $1.00 is the line. Above it, XRP is cheap and oversold; below it, the chart says the slide isn’t done.

The sudden death of Ondo Finance founder Nathan Allman has triggered an escalating governance dispute that now threatens to overshadow one of the fastest-growing companies in the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) sector. Court filings in Delaware reveal a bitter legal battle between Allman’s estate and current CEO Ian De Bode over who has the legal authority to control the company following the founder’s passing.
While Ondo continues operating and maintains support from key investors, the dispute introduces significant uncertainty at a time when the company has emerged as one of the leading issuers of tokenized financial products. The case also highlights the governance risks that can arise when founder-led crypto companies lack clearly tested succession mechanisms.
Power Struggle Erupts at Ondo Finance After Founder’s Death
Legal dispute centers on control after founder’s passing
According to filings submitted to the Delaware Court of Chancery, Nathan Allman died in May while serving simultaneously as Ondo Finance’s CEO, sole director, and controlling shareholder. Because his voting power became part of his estate, it could not immediately be exercised until probate proceedings concluded in Hawaii.
The estate argues that this temporary governance gap became the catalyst for the current conflict. Kathleen Allman, Nathan Allman’s mother, was formally appointed personal representative of the estate on June 26, giving her authority to exercise the voting rights attached to the founder’s shares.
The lawsuit alleges that before probate was completed, Ian De Bode improperly claimed he automatically became CEO under the company’s bylaws. The estate further contends that De Bode used a voting agreement to appoint himself as Ondo’s sole director before taking several major corporate actions, including approving equity compensation, hiring advisers, and attempting to expand the board.
According to the complaint, these actions were invalid because the company’s bylaws required board approval—not automatic succession—to fill the CEO position.
Estate says it initially sought cooperation
Rather than immediately seeking to replace the existing leadership, Kathleen Allman reportedly attempted to work alongside De Bode after gaining authority over the estate’s voting shares.
Court filings state that she appointed herself to the board, adopted an interim policy allowing ordinary business operations to continue, reaffirmed De Bode as president, and requested access to basic corporate information such as shareholder records.
The estate claims those efforts failed after De Bode and the company’s outside legal counsel allegedly refused to recognize her authority or provide the requested documentation.
According to the filings, Kathleen Allman subsequently expanded the board and convened a meeting on July 24, where directors voted to remove De Bode from all company positions. She was then appointed interim chair and interim CEO while the board begins searching for a permanent successor.
The estate argues that its objective is not to permanently control Ondo Finance but to stabilize corporate governance during the leadership transition and ensure normal business operations continue without disruption.
Ondo CEO rejects allegations
De Bode has firmly rejected the estate’s claims, describing the lawsuit as harmful to the company and its broader ecosystem.
In comments provided to CoinDesk, De Bode said the legal action was “regretful” and argued that the allegations lacked merit.
He also maintained that Ondo Finance continues to receive backing from its board, lead investors, and the Ondo Foundation, adding that the leadership team remains committed to executing Nathan Allman’s long-term vision for expanding on-chain financial markets.
Separately, Ondo’s board emphasized that the company remains focused on serving customers and supporting ongoing business operations while searching for a permanent successor to its late founder.
Court decision could shape company governance
The estate has requested an expedited ruling from the Delaware Court of Chancery, arguing that uncertainty over corporate authority could affect numerous business decisions.
According to the filings, unresolved questions surrounding company control could influence contracts, spending approvals, equity issuances, and other significant corporate actions if competing leadership groups continue asserting authority.
For now, however, the court has not ruled on the allegations, and the claims presented represent only the estate’s version of events.
The eventual outcome may establish not only who governs Ondo Finance but also how Delaware courts interpret succession disputes involving crypto companies whose founders simultaneously hold executive, board, and controlling shareholder roles.
A critical moment for a leading RWA platform
The legal dispute comes during a period of rapid growth for Ondo Finance.
Founded in 2021, the company has become one of the largest tokenized real-world asset platforms, offering products such as USDY and OUSG while expanding tokenized access to traditional financial instruments. Under Nathan Allman’s leadership, Ondo reportedly grew to manage approximately $3.5 billion in tokenized RWA products.
More recently, the company announced initiatives to tokenize U.S. securities, including products linked to Micron stock and BlackRock’s iShares Core S&P 500 ETF through partnerships with Broadridge and Oasis Pro. It has also worked with regulators, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on compliance frameworks for tokenized securities.
Those developments have positioned Ondo as one of the industry’s most prominent bridges between traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure, making the current governance dispute especially significant for institutional participants monitoring the sector.
Market watches governance risks
Although Ondo Finance has stated that operations continue normally, the leadership dispute has attracted attention across the crypto market.
Some market observers have pointed to increased token transfers to exchanges and heightened selling activity following news of the lawsuit, suggesting investors are reassessing governance risk alongside the project’s long-term fundamentals. Reports also noted that ONDO experienced notable price volatility in the days after details of the legal battle became public.

Whether the dispute remains an isolated corporate governance issue or evolves into a prolonged legal confrontation could prove important for investor confidence. For a company widely viewed as a leader in bringing traditional financial assets on-chain, restoring governance clarity may become just as important as continuing product innovation.
Brooklyn Beckham has left fans unconvinced after re-sharing a cooking video in which he fills a pan with seawater before making tomato pasta on a yacht.
The 27-year-old originally posted the TikTok last summer but shared it with followers again this week, according to The Sun. He is currently holidaying in the south of France with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
Their trip comes as Brooklyn and Nicola mark the first anniversary of their vow renewal, which they reportedly intend to celebrate in future instead of their original April wedding date.

In the footage, Brooklyn announced that he was making tomato pasta before collecting water from the sea at the back of the boat.
He then used the water to cook the pasta and added his own Cloud 23 hot sauce to the dish.
However, some viewers were more interested in where the water had come from than in the finished meal. They raised concerns about possible contamination from the yacht and questioned whether it was suitable for cooking.
One person asked: “Isn’t the ocean water dirty?”
Another joked: “Is boat exhaust the secret ingredient?”
A third added: “Pasta water with a hint of burnt boat fuel please, sir.”
“Hi, quick question. I haven’t got the sea in my back Garden. Will tap water do?” another asked.
However, there was some support for Brooklyn. “Nasty jealous comments have a day off trolls; grow up, honestly,” one fumed.

Resurfaced video follows anniversary celebrations
The clip was not filmed during the couple’s latest holiday. Brooklyn first shared it last summer before bringing it back to his social-media page this week.
According to The Sun, Brooklyn and Nicola have been spending time in the south of France with his godfather, Elton John. Members of Brooklyn’s estranged family have reportedly also been holidaying a few miles away in St Tropez.
The couple recently celebrated a year since renewing their vows in August 2025. The ceremony reportedly involved Nicola’s family and the couple’s friends, but no members of the Beckham family.
An unnamed source told The Sun that Brooklyn and Nicola now associate the vow renewal with happier memories and plan to mark that date publicly rather than their original April 2022 wedding anniversary.

MetaMask has officially launched Agent Wallet, a self-custodial wallet that allows artificial intelligence (AI) agents to execute on-chain transactions within user-defined security rules. The product aims to make autonomous crypto trading safer by combining AI automation with wallet-level controls, allowing users to define exactly what their agents can and cannot do.
The launch comes as AI agents become increasingly capable of monitoring markets, identifying trading opportunities, and interacting with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. While these systems promise faster execution and around-the-clock trading, giving them unrestricted access to a crypto wallet has remained a major security concern.
MetaMask says Agent Wallet addresses that problem by enforcing permissions at the wallet level rather than relying solely on an AI agent’s judgment.
MetaMask Agent Wallet is now live for everyone (Source: X)
AI Trading With Built-In Guardrails
Instead of granting an AI complete control over a wallet, Agent Wallet allows users to establish clear operating boundaries before any transaction is executed.
Users can configure spending limits, allowlisted protocols, and risk preferences, ensuring AI agents can only operate within approved parameters. According to MetaMask, the goal is to let agents move quickly while keeping users in control of their assets.
The wallet is designed for traders already experimenting with AI-powered strategies, as well as developers building autonomous trading applications.
Support for Leading AI Frameworks
Agent Wallet integrates with several popular AI development frameworks, making it easier for developers to deploy autonomous trading agents.
Supported platforms include Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, and OpenCode.
Once connected, agents can monitor markets, prepare transactions, execute swaps, and perform other on-chain actions without requiring users to manually approve every step, provided those actions remain within the wallet’s predefined rules.
The wallet also supports execution on Hyperliquid and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible networks, including Robinhood Chain and Monad.
In addition to token transfers and swaps, Agent Wallet supports batch transactions through ERC-7821, enabling more efficient execution for automated trading strategies.
Gas Abstraction Simplifies Trading
One of the wallet’s practical features is built-in gas abstraction.
Instead of requiring users to maintain balances of native blockchain tokens for network fees, Agent Wallet can pay eligible gas costs using the token involved in the transaction.
This removes a common operational hurdle for automated trading and allows AI agents to continue executing transactions without interruption caused by insufficient gas balances.
Two Levels of Automation
MetaMask offers two operating modes that give users different levels of control over AI execution.
Guard Mode is designed for users who prefer stronger oversight. AI agents can only transact within approved protocols and spending limits. If a transaction falls outside those rules, execution pauses until the user approves it through the MetaMask mobile app or email-based two-factor authentication.
For more experienced users, Beast Mode allows greater automation by relaxing some policy restrictions. However, MetaMask says malicious transactions still cannot bypass its security pipeline and will require human approval if flagged.
The company says these options allow users to tailor automation to their own risk tolerance instead of adopting a one-size-fits-all approach.
Multi-Layer Security
Security remains the centerpiece of Agent Wallet.
Supported EVM transactions pass through three protection layers before execution.
First, transaction simulation previews the expected outcome of a transaction, including balance changes, token approvals, and gas routing.
Second, threat scanning, powered by blockchain security firm Blockaid, analyzes transactions for malicious behavior before they are executed.
Finally, Smart Transactions provide protection against maximal extractable value (MEV), helping reduce losses caused by front-running and other forms of transaction manipulation.
Rather than trusting AI agents to make safe decisions independently, MetaMask applies these protections regardless of the automation level selected by the user.
Financial Protection for Eligible Transactions
MetaMask is also extending financial safeguards through its Transaction Protection program.
Eligible transactions that successfully pass simulation, Blockaid threat scanning, and Smart Transactions but still result in covered losses may qualify for reimbursement of up to $10,000 per month, subject to the program’s terms and conditions.
The additional coverage is intended to provide users with greater confidence as they adopt AI-assisted trading workflows.
Entering a Competitive Market
The official launch follows a limited early access rollout in June that included around 200 users.
MetaMask is entering an increasingly competitive market as crypto companies race to build infrastructure for autonomous AI finance. Earlier this year, Coinbase introduced its own Agentic Wallet framework, while MoonPay expanded its AI strategy through open wallet standards and Telegram-integrated crypto agents.
The growing competition reflects broader expectations that AI agents will play a larger role in portfolio management, DeFi interactions, and automated trading.
With Agent Wallet, MetaMask is betting that autonomous finance will only gain mainstream adoption if users can automate transactions without surrendering control of their assets.
By combining self-custody with programmable spending limits, protocol permissions, transaction simulation, threat detection, MEV protection, and optional financial coverage, the company aims to offer a safer framework for AI-driven trading.
As AI agents become increasingly integrated into crypto markets, Agent Wallet positions MetaMask as one of the major players building the infrastructure needed for the next generation of autonomous on-chain finance.
Gucci bag prices are trending upward, so if you plan to buy a Gucci bag for less this year, the following information is crucial.
Gucci hasn’t run a broad, across-the-board US price increase since 2020, which is unusual in a luxury set-up where Chanel, Dior, and Louis Vuitton have all pushed through multiple rounds of hikes in the years since. But “no blanket increase” doesn’t mean Gucci got cheaper. Under creative director Demna, who delivered his runway debut for the house in February 2026, Gucci has been quietly repricing itself style by style, and the direction is up.
Here’s what’s actually happening to Gucci bag prices in 2026, which styles are getting more expensive and why, and where the real savings still exist.
Why Gucci Bag Prices Are Rising in 2026? (Even Without a Blanket Hike)
Gucci’s parent company, Kering, spent 2024 and 2025 in a well-documented sales slump — Gucci’s revenue declined for several consecutive quarters, and the brand carries an outsized share of Kering’s group profit, which made its recovery a board-level priority. Demna’s arrival came with a mandate to reposition Gucci higher on the luxury ladder, closer to Chanel and Dior, rather than compete on accessibility.
Instead of a single across-the-board increase, that’s shown up as a targeted repricing of new collections. According to Business of Fashion’s analysis of Gucci’s Primavera 2026 pricing, new-season handbags have generally launched roughly $200–$550 higher than the equivalent prior-season pieces they replace, with select “hero” styles skewing toward the top of that range. Ready-to-wear moved too, with the average price of women’s apparel up nearly $200 versus prior seasonal baselines, and the footwear mix shifting hard toward higher-priced shoes — pairs under $1,000 dropped from over half the footwear assortment in 2024 to roughly a quarter of it by 2026.
Notably, the strategy isn’t purely “everything costs more.” Some new variations of iconic families were introduced at lower entry points to widen the price ladder — the Horsebit Ristretto, a new medium shoulder bag in the Horsebit 1955 family, launched at $3,350, positioned as an accessible doorway into a bag line whose other sizes run higher.
The takeaway: Gucci isn’t repeating LV or Chanel’s playbook of a dated, blanket percentage increase. It’s re-anchoring its price architecture bag by bag as new collections roll out, which makes it harder to point to a single “before and after” table — but the net effect for shoppers is the same. New-season Gucci bags cost more than the styles they’re replacing.

Because Gucci’s repricing is happening collection by collection rather than as one dated event, the numbers below reflect current retail ranges rather than a single confirmed increase percentage per style. Ranges exist because the same silhouette is often sold in multiple materials (canvas, matelassé leather, velvet, exotic skins), which price very differently.

Ophidia GG Medium Tote
$2,700–$3,100
A note on precision: unlike a documented, single-day price increase (the kind LV or Chanel announce), Gucci’s current pricing reflects an ongoing, style-by-style repricing tied to new collection drops through 2026. Treat the figures above as a snapshot of where retail sits right now, not a fixed list — and always confirm the exact price of the specific colorway and material you want directly on gucci.com or in a boutique before buying, since the spread within a single silhouette can be several hundred dollars.
Best Country to Buy Gucci in 2026: Why Prices Differ Worldwide
Like every major luxury house, Gucci sets a global reference price and adjusts it locally for currency, VAT, and import duty. The mechanics are similar to what shapes pricing for Louis Vuitton, Chanel, or Dior across regions.
Europe
Still the most forgiving place to buy new, for the same reason it is with LV: Eurozone countries share a common base price, and VAT (roughly 19–25% depending on the country) is largely reclaimable by non-EU tourists. Italy — Gucci’s home market — and France are the most common shopping stops, and refund processing is well-established for tourists.
Japan
Competitive with Europe thanks to the instant 10% consumption-tax refund at the register, and Japan has historically run close to or ahead of France when the yen is weak, as it has been through much of 2026. Japan also has one of the most developed pre-owned luxury markets in the world, useful if you’re shopping both new and vintage.
The US.
Carries the highest sticker prices of the major markets once you add state sales tax, with no VAT-style reclaim mechanism. The advantage is depth of resale supply — the US has the largest and most liquid secondary market for Gucci, which is where most of the real savings live for American buyers who aren’t already planning international travel. It’s also worth mentioning that pre-owned Gucci bags in the US can have an edge over their brand-new counterparts.
Dubai/UAE.
Offers a 5% VAT refund for tourists, but base prices sit close to US levels, so net savings after the refund are modest. Selection and shopping experience are the draw more than price; Dubai also has an active authenticated resale market.
As with LV, exchange rates move daily and VAT refund processing fees eat into the reclaim, so cross-border shopping trips only make sense if travel is already planned — the arithmetic rarely works if you’re booking a flight purely to save on one bag.

Gucci GG Marmont Small (Matelassé Leather): Global Price Comparison
The GG Marmont remains Gucci’s most searched everyday bag. Here’s how the small matelassé leather version currently prices across key markets, led by two directly verified 2026 figures, followed by broader market context.

*After-refund figures are realistic estimates after typical processing fees, not the full headline VAT rate. The United States and Dubai/UAE figures reflect live 2026 pricing verified directly from current retailer listings; the remaining markets reflect a 2024 baseline sourced from official Gucci pricing and should be treated as directional rather than current, given two years of both price increases and currency movement since.
The comparison that matters most for shoppers actually based in the UAE is the first two rows: buying at home in Dubai lands within a few hundred dollars of US retail once the UAE’s 5% VAT refund is factored in for eligible travelers, meaning there’s little to no meaningful savings to chase by buying this bag abroad. That’s worth knowing before assuming a US or European trip is automatically the better buy.
The Pre-Owned Edge: What This Bag Costs at The Luxury Closet
Retail comparisons are useful for understanding where a bag sits globally, but the real story for most shoppers is what it costs pre-owned. Here’s the same Gucci GG Marmont Small in red matelassé leather, currently available at The Luxury Closet.
Listing
Price
Original Listed Price
AED 7,266
Best Offer
AED 5,998 (17% off), additional savings with voucher code SALE
At AED 5,998, roughly $1,633 USD at the current AED/USD peg, this pre-owned piece runs meaningfully below both the UAE retail range (AED 9,785–11,300) and the US retail range ($2,600–$2,900) established above.
Comparison
New Retail
Pre-Owned (TLC)
Savings

AED 5,998
~39–47% off
vs. US retail
$2,600–$2,900
~$1,633
~37–44% off
In other words, buying this exact bag pre-owned costs less than half of what a new one runs locally in Dubai, without the wait, the price increases we tracked earlier this year, or the need to travel to chase a better exchange rate abroad. For a bag whose retail price has already climbed multiple times in the past two years alone, that gap is likely to widen further rather than close.
Buying a Pre-Owned Gucci Bag: The Smartest Lever in 2026
This is where Gucci’s pricing story diverges most sharply from Louis Vuitton’s, and it’s worth understanding before you buy new.
Gucci doesn’t hold resale value as consistently as LV’s core canvas classics or Hermès. Because so much of Gucci’s identity is tied to seasonal creative direction — the Alessandro Michele maximalist era, and now Demna’s harder reset — pieces closely associated with a previous aesthetic can soften on the resale market even as current retail keeps climbing. That’s a real dynamic to know about, not a knock: it just means Gucci resale behaves more like ready-to-wear fashion resale than like a hard-asset classic.
The Luxury Closet offers a curated collection of authenticated Pre-Owned Gucci bags in Good to Pristine Condition available at great discounts.
That said, the discount is real and often larger than what you’d see on LV. Authenticated pre-owned Gucci bags in excellent condition commonly sell for 40–60% below current retail, and even more for styles that were strongly tied to a specific past collection. Evergreen, brand-agnostic shapes — the GG Marmont in black or beige, a classic Jackie 1961, core Horsebit 1955 pieces — tend to hold value best and resell easiest, similar to how Neverfull and Speedy anchor LV’s resale market.
Because Gucci’s 2026 repricing is happening collection by collection rather than through one dated jump, every new-season price increase widens the gap between what’s on the shelf now and what’s sitting on authenticated resale platforms. If you want a current-era bag at a meaningful discount, pre-owned is the most reliable lever available.
How to Buy a Gucci Bag in 2026: A Smart Buying Guide
If you want a brand-new bag and can travel: Europe (with a VAT refund) or Japan (with a favorable yen) will generally beat US retail — but only if a trip is already on the calendar. Popular styles can have real wait times at flagship boutiques, so it’s worth checking availability before you go.
If you want a new bag without traveling: buy from the official Gucci boutique or gucci.com. You get full warranty coverage, but you’ll pay the highest all-in US price, and Gucci does not run promotional discounts.
If value matters more than “brand new”: pre-owned is the stronger play with Gucci than with almost any other major house right now, given how much the brand’s pricing has moved since 2020 versus how resale has responded. Authenticated platforms that specialize in condition reporting and verification matter enormously here, since Gucci is one of the most counterfeited brands in the world.
Frequently Asked Questions About Gucci Bag Prices 2026
Does Gucci ever go on sale?
No. Gucci does not run promotional markdowns on current-season handbags. Any savings come from region, tax refunds, or the resale market.
Has Gucci raised its prices in 2026?
Not through a single, dated across-the-board increase — Gucci’s last blanket US price hike was in 2020. Instead, 2026 has brought a targeted repricing tied to Demna’s new collections, with new-season handbags launching roughly $200–$550 higher on average than the pieces they replace, alongside a shift toward higher-priced footwear and apparel.
Is Gucci a good investment?
Less reliably than Hermès or Chanel, and less consistently than LV’s core canvas classics. Because Gucci’s identity is closely tied to seasonal creative direction, resale values can lag rising retail prices, especially for pieces strongly associated with a previous era of the brand. Evergreen shapes like the GG Marmont and Horsebit 1955 tend to hold value best.

Which Gucci bag holds value best?
Classic, logo-forward shapes with minimal seasonal styling — the GG Marmont, Jackie 1961, and core Horsebit 1955 — tend to resell most reliably, similar to how Neverfull and Speedy anchor LV’s resale market.
Is Gucci cheaper in Europe than the US?
Yes, generally, once VAT refunds are factored in for non-EU tourists — the same dynamic that applies to LV, Chanel, and Dior.
Is Gucci cheaper in Japan?
Often competitive with, or slightly better than, Europe when the yen is weak and the full 10% consumption-tax refund is claimed at the register.
What is the cheapest Gucci bag in 2026?
Small leather goods and mini bags — the GG Marmont Mini and comparable entry pieces — remain the most affordable route into the brand, typically starting somewhat below $2,000.
Which is Gucci’s best crossbody bag?
The Horsebit 1955 is generally considered Gucci’s strongest crossbody option, thanks to its structured shape, adjustable strap, and durability across daily use. Shoppers comparing across brands often weigh it against Celine’s Triomphe, which sits in a similar price and use-case bracket.
Related reading: The Crossbody Battle — Gucci Horsebit vs Celine Triomphe
Why did Gucci prices go up in 2026 without an official announcement?
Kering has pushed Gucci to reposition itself closer to Chanel and Dior under new creative direction, and that’s showing up as higher prices on new-season pieces rather than a single blanket increase on existing stock.
Is it better to buy Gucci new or pre-owned in 2026?
For pure value, pre-owned is usually the stronger choice. Authenticated pre-owned Gucci bags in excellent condition commonly sell for 40–60% below current retail.
Gucci in Dubai & the UAE
How much is a Gucci bag in Dubai in 2026?
Base prices in Dubai run close to US retail once converted from AED, since the UAE doesn’t offer the deep VAT reclaim that pushes European prices lower for tourists. A GG Marmont small, for example, typically lands in a similar range to its US price once you account for currency conversion.
Does Gucci offer a tax refund for tourists in the UAE?
Yes. The UAE refunds 5% VAT to eligible tourists through the official Tax Refund for Tourists Scheme at exit points like Dubai International Airport. It’s a smaller reclaim than the 19–25% VAT rates available in parts of Europe, so it won’t close the price gap on its own.
Is Gucci cheaper in Dubai than in Europe?
Not usually. Once a European VAT refund is applied, France or Italy typically beats Dubai on a like-for-like Gucci bag. Dubai’s advantage is selection, service, and shopping experience, not the sticker price.
Where are the main Gucci boutiques in Dubai?
Gucci operates flagship and boutique locations at The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, and other major malls across the UAE, all carrying the current collection at the same AED pricing regardless of location.
Is there a strong pre-owned Gucci market in Dubai and the UAE?
Yes. Dubai has one of the most active pre-owned luxury markets in the Gulf region, with authenticated platforms offering Gucci bags at 40–60% below current retail — comparable to, and sometimes deeper than, the discount range seen in the US and Europe.
Does Gucci go on sale in Dubai?
No. As everywhere else, Gucci doesn’t run promotional markdowns in the UAE. Any savings come from VAT refunds, currency timing, or the resale market. In Dubai, you can explore The Luxury Closet website for authentic pre-owned Gucci bags at great deals and discounts.
Selling a Gucci Bag Online
How do I sell my Gucci bag online?
The most reliable route to sell your Gucci bag online is an authenticated resale platform rather than an unverified marketplace or classifieds listing. The typical process: submit photos and details of the bag, receive a suggested price range based on condition and current demand, ship or drop off the item for in-person authentication, and receive payment once it’s verified and listed (or sold, if you’re consigning rather than selling outright). Platforms that specialize in luxury authentication, like The Luxury Closet, handle the cleaning, photography, and listing for you.
How much can I sell my Gucci GG Marmont for?
Expect roughly 40–60% of current retail for a GG Marmont in excellent condition with its dust bag and box, with black, beige, and other neutral colorways commanding the strongest resale demand. Condition, completeness (authenticity card, receipt, packaging), and whether the specific colorway is still in current production all move the number.
Where can I sell my GG Marmont in the UAE or Dubai?
You can easily sell your Gucci bag in Dubai. Authenticated resale platforms operating in the UAE — including The Luxury Closet — accept GG Marmont submissions for consignment or direct purchase, using the same appraise-authenticate-list process as shipped submissions elsewhere. Selling through a verified platform rather than a private UAE classifieds listing protects both the seller’s price and the buyer’s confidence in authenticity, which matters in a market as heavily counterfeited as Gucci’s.
Does selling a Gucci bag in Dubai get me a better price than selling in the US or Europe?
Not dramatically. Resale pricing tracks global demand for the specific style and condition more than local geography, though strong regional demand for certain colorways or sizes can occasionally push UAE offers slightly higher. The bigger factor is always condition and completeness, not the country you sell from.
What’s the fastest way to sell a designer bag in Dubai?
Submitting through an established authenticated consignment or buyout platform is faster than private sale, since the platform handles authentication, pricing, and buyer vetting. Drop-off or WhatsApp photo submission is the standard first step with most UAE luxury resale platforms.
Prices, VAT rates, and exchange rates shift regularly — treat the figures above as a 2026 snapshot rather than a live price list, and confirm current pricing directly with Gucci or your resale platform of choice before purchasing.

In Brief
Gate tops global inflow rankings, launches Moonshot AI Pre-IPO, expands stock futures, and posts record SOL staking in a packed release week.
Gate is putting up competitive numbers across several key metrics simultaneously. According to DefiLlama, the exchange recorded over $36.6 million in net inflows over a single 24-hour window, claiming the top spot among centralized exchanges globally, and ranked in the top three for both 7-day ($75.23 million) and 1-month ($61.64 million) cumulative inflows. Gate CFD reached No. 1 globally by weekly trading volume, surpassing $200 billion, with gold-related instruments driving much of the momentum. Against this backdrop, Gate is set to launch its most high-profile Pre-IPO offering to date — subscription access to Moonshot AI, the company behind the Kimi AI assistant, implying a $50 billion valuation. Here is a full rundown of this week’s updates.
Gold and Metals
Gold is the macro story of the week. Gate’s XAU futures posted $255 million in 24-hour volume and $309 million in open interest, placing the platform among the top two CEXs for gold derivatives by both metrics. Tether Gold (XAUT) spot volume on Gate reached $11.44 million, ranking second industry-wide. Gold CFD (XAUUSD) rose 0.13% intraday with a session high of $4,304.09, while GDX gained 7.48% and GLD added 4.12% on the day. Gate pioneered Metals Perpetual Futures and CFD sections for the industry and covers gold, silver, and platinum across 24/7 USDT-settled trading.
gStocks and Global Equities
Tokenized equities on Gate gStocks logged strong single-day performance. Fluence Energy (FLNCG) led with a 24-hour gain of 19.23%, followed by MiniMax (MINIMAXG) at 15.38% and AXT Inc. (AXTIG) at 13.46%. SpaceX (SPCX) rose 6.11%, with Gate’s SPCX perpetual futures posting $243 million in 24-hour volume and $85.5 million in open interest — placing Gate among the top two CEXs in that contract. Hong Kong-listed equities also moved: TOKYO CHUO AUCT gained 40.54%, APEX ACE HOLDING rose 28.03%, and SANHE CONSTRUCTION GROUP climbed 22.68%. Gate Stocks supports over 12,500 global equity and ETF assets across U.S., Hong Kong, and Korean markets, with 24/7 trading and fractional share access from 0.01 shares. A recent BlockBeats feature highlighted Gate’s integrated TradFi account structure, which brings together four equity product categories under one interface: Gate Stocks for real equity allocation, gStocks for tokenized flexibility, stock perpetual futures for hedging, and CFDs for multi-asset exposure — combining crypto-native infrastructure with traditional financial access.
New Perpetual Futures: Stock Section Expansion
Gate Futures Stock Section launched 21 new perpetual futures contracts across two tranches this week. The first batch, live from August 6, included KIOXIA — Japan’s only tier-1 NAND flash memory manufacturer with deep ties to AI data center storage demand — alongside YJTECH, LONGSYS, DSBJ, WUXIAPPTEC, HTGD, TFC, SHTECH, UNIS, BOE, and FENGHUA. A second tranche followed on August 7, adding CJS (China Jushi), SINOCERA, TUNGSTEN, LUXSHARE, CCTC, SYTECH, TFME, ZTT, LETTALL, and PERIC. All contracts are USDT-margined with 1–20x leverage.
Pre-IPO: Moonshot AI (KIMI)
Gate Pre-IPOs Phase 3 centers on Moonshot AI, implying a valuation of approximately $50 billion. The subscription window runs August 11–13 (07:00 UTC), priced at $105–$115 per share. KIMI Asset Certificates are Mirror Notes designed to track changes in Moonshot AI’s enterprise value and will be distributed with 100% unlock on August 17. Subscribers using GUSD can simultaneously earn a 3.8% flexible U.S. Treasury yield during the subscription period. A dedicated secondary market for the certificates is expected to open approximately one month after distribution, enabling holders to trade at real-time market prices or hold for long-term appreciation tied to a potential IPO or other exit event. Fees include a 5% underwriting service fee and a 20% performance fee on excess returns.
Staking and Yield Products
SOL Staking on Gate set a new record at 660,600 SOL staked, with a reference APR of 7.91%. Gate’s holdings of World Liberty Financial USD (USD1) are approaching $400 million; Soft Staking for USD1 now carries an estimated 12% APR, effective August 6, with no lock-up and daily reward distribution. Gate Launchpool Project #369 (SNDKG/SanDisk) is underway through August 20, with over 15,364 ETH, 934 BTC, and 750,958 GT already staked across three pools, sharing 80 SNDKG in total rewards. The platform’s four-tier USDT program adds further options: USDT fixed-term Earn offers 3.8% (7-day) and 4.0% (30-day); GUSD Flexible Treasury Bond offers 3.8% annualized with flexible redemption and a 100% APR bonus for new participants. A Convert New User Exclusive Campaign runs through August 13, offering eligible first-time converters up to 100 USDT in rewards.
Gate Polymarket: Esports and Prediction Markets
Esports prediction trading on Gate Polymarket is gaining momentum heading into the final stretch of the Esports Trading Season (through August 10, 200,000 USDT prize pool). The featured matchup is T1 vs. Dplus KIA in the LCK Round 3-4 Legend Group, with T1 carrying a 56% predicted win probability. In the LPL 2026 Season Championship market, Bilibili Gaming leads with approximately 64% prediction support. Gate Polymarket ranked second globally by notional trading volume as of August 6.
Gate DexBuilder: Event Contracts Infrastructure
Gate DexBuilder, the platform’s DEX infrastructure arm, officially launched its first Event Contracts Builder alongside a $3 million grant program open to developers, Web3 applications, media platforms, quantitative systems, and entertainment products worldwide. The initiative provides integrated infrastructure — APIs, SDKs, market creation, settlement, and liquidity support — so partners can deploy event contract market products without building underlying systems from scratch.
Research, Macro, and Institutional
Gate Institutional’s latest weekly report notes that the Fed’s sustained hawkish stance put pressure on crypto markets, with BTC and ETH declining approximately 2.8% and 3.6% respectively, while U.S. equities extended their recovery. Spot BTC ETFs recorded net outflows; spot ETH ETFs posted modest net inflows, reflecting resilient institutional demand for Ethereum. Gate Research published a separate analysis on crypto platforms’ role in IPO access, arguing that the competitive edge lies not in returns from individual listings but in the ability to secure genuine primary-market allocations — enabled by stablecoin infrastructure and lower subscription thresholds. In Gatecast Episode 4, Ondo Finance Managing Director Min Lin discussed the RWA landscape, pointing to tokenized stocks and ETFs as the next major frontier given the U.S. equities market’s approximately $69 trillion scale. Finally, Gate Alpha Hot Tokens Competition Phase 58 launches August 8, with $40,000 in Robinhood ecosystem airdrop rewards available through August 11.

Road Town, British Virgin Islands, August 7th, 2026, Chainwire
250+ TradFi markets join Carbon’s 530+ crypto perpetuals & 150 24/7 RWAs in one venue. Wall Street depth at listing, stable overnight rates, and on-chain settlement.
Carbon, the on-chain prime broker for global markets, today opened public trading on 250+ Carbon TradFi markets spanning equities, indices, forex, and commodities. Each position is hedged 1:1 at regulated TradFi venues, making Carbon the largest TradFi-native on-chain derivatives venue. Alongside 530+ crypto perpetuals and 150 24/7 RWAs, total tradeable instruments now exceed 950 in one account.
Carbon TradFi is Carbon’s own on-chain instrument. A trader opens a position on-chain, in their own wallet, and Carbon’s solver architecture hedges it 1:1 at a regulated broker off-chain. The trader never leaves self-custody, and the price and depth they receive are the underlying market’s, not bootstrapped on-chain order books.
That structure removes the cold-start problem that has constrained real-world assets on-chain. Every Carbon TradFi market opens at full institutional depth on its first day, because the depth is inherited rather than manufactured. There is no per-market incentive program to run and no waiting period while liquidity accumulates.
Carbon now offers traders both in one account. Its 150 24/7 real-world markets trade around the clock, for traders who want access at any hour. Its 250+ Carbon TradFi markets track market hours with carry prices from the underlying, for traders who want institutional depth and predictable holding costs. Roughly 30 assets are live as both, letting a trader hold one against the other and capture the difference between the two financing rates without leaving the account.
The global market Carbon connects to is substantial. TradFi clears over $1.5 trillion daily in CFDs across thousands of markets, liquidity that until now had no direct route on-chain.
Carbon TradFi coverage at launch:
200 stocks across US, EU, and Asia markets
62 forex pairs
12 indices
8 commodities
Carbon can list a trending name within the same week it begins moving in Seoul, Tokyo, or Hong Kong, a cadence order-book venues cannot match because they lack the off-chain rails to stand up a new market that quickly. A further 150 listings are scheduled.
The launch also opens the Carbon Liquidity Provider (CLP) vault to public deposits. The CLP is a delta-neutral yield product: it funds the hedge behind trader flow rather than taking directional positions, earning from the difference between on-chain demand and off-chain liquidity. Modeled APY is illustrative and ranges from 20.3% at launch utilization to 57.1% at maturity, depending on flow and capital utilization.
“Traders have had to choose between the assets they want and the execution they need. Carbon ends that trade-off. Every position is hedged into the deepest liquidity in the world and settles in the trader’s own wallet, with 950+ markets in a single account. This is what global markets look like when they finally arrive on-chain properly.” – Levy, Co-founder and CEO of Carbon
“One of the biggest challenges for bringing traditional financial assets onchain has been delivering deep liquidity. Carbon is operating an architecture that connects onchain trading with established market infrastructure while preserving self-custody. We want Arbitrum to be home to teams building this next generation of financial infrastructure” – David Garcia, Ecosystem Lead at Arbitrum Foundation
About Carbon
Carbon is the on-chain prime broker for global markets, combining crypto perpetuals and Carbon TradFi in one venue. Carbon’s solver architecture connects on-chain traders to institutional liquidity through bilateral 1:1 hedging, delivering Wall Street-grade depth and stable carry with on-chain settlement and self-custody. Live since 2023, Carbon has processed $20B+ in cumulative trading volume across 36K+ unique traders. Carbon operates on Arbitrum. Users can learn more at carbon.inc.
