Odaily News: U.S. President Trump is weighing a bipartisan ethics counterproposal to the CLARITY Act, as Senate negotiators need to finalize crypto conflict-of-interest rules before the August 7 recess. The bill aims to establish a federal regulatory framework for crypto companies through a division of labor between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Republican Senator Thom Tillis and Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego submitted a state attorneys general enforcement plan to the White House on July 29. The plan allows state-level agencies to enforce the ban on federal officials issuing or sponsoring digital tokens, rather than leaving related violations solely to the Department of Justice. The U.S. House of Representatives passed its version of the bill on July 17 with 294 votes in favor and 134 against, with over 70 Democrats voting in favor. The Senate has not yet held a full floor vote, and the bill needs 60 votes to pass. If all Republicans support it, at least 7 Democrats would still need to vote in favor.

Odaily News: Former US Congressman George Santos has reached a settlement with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The CFTC stated that Santos engaged in manipulative trading behavior while trading a prediction contract on Kalshi regarding whether he would attend the State of the Union address in February 2026, profiting over $17,500 from the trades.According to the CFTC's Friday announcement, Santos is required to pay $35,000 as part of the settlement, but neither admitted nor denied the regulator's findings.The CFTC stated that in the two weeks leading up to the State of the Union address, Santos repeatedly made public comments about whether he would attend the event, causing significant fluctuations in the price of the event contract. For example, while holding a "Yes" position indicating he would attend, he posted on X asking what he should wear to the State of the Union. Within hours, the price of the Yes position rose, after which Santos closed his position for a profit.The CFTC also alleged that Santos subsequently continued to post updates about his travel to Washington, D.C., including flights and train rides, and profited by trading back and forth based on market reactions to his public statements. The CFTC stated that Santos's conduct was intentional, or at least reckless. He traded in an event contract whose underlying outcome he could influence, and affected the contract price through misleading public statements or omissions of information, thereby profiting from his trading positions.Santos's attorney, Joseph W. Murray, stated in Friday's announcement that the State of the Union contract was Santos's first foray into prediction market betting.

Out of caution, the company reminded all users who generated seed phrases using Mk3 devices with firmware version 4.0.1, released in March 2021, or later, that their funds may be at risk.Subsequently, Coinkite expanded the scope of its risk alert to include certain firmware versions of Mk4, Mk5, and Coldcard Q, and released emergency firmware updates for all affected models.Coinkite CEO Rodolfo Novak (also known as NVK) apologized on Friday and stated that the company takes "full responsibility" for the firmware vulnerability, acknowledging that internal review processes failed to identify the issue.Novak also suggested that the vulnerability may have been discovered with the help of artificial intelligence, noting that this incident reflects a "sobering reality under the new AI paradigm." He warned that AI-assisted code review could identify potential vulnerabilities faster than experienced security experts, while also making it easier for attackers to exploit weaknesses in public code.
Odaily Crypto Daily News: Tether released its financial report on Friday, stating that its excess reserves decreased by $4.1 billion in Q2 compared to the previous quarter, nearly halving.As of the end of Q1, USDT issuer Tether had stated that its assets exceeded its liabilities by $8.2 billion; however, in the latest data, this figure has dropped to $4.1 billion.The report also shows that Tether's financial result for the first half of this year was negative $3.2 billion. Given that the company reported a net profit of $1 billion in Q1, this suggests it may have recorded a loss of over $4 billion in Q2.On a year-over-year basis, Tether's performance has also clearly weakened.
