According to HTX official spokesperson Molly's social media post, HTX is about to launch a brand new unlocking scheme for remaining locked $HTX tokens. This upgrade significantly optimizes the $HTX unlocking method, including: newly supporting the use of BTC and $HTX to participate in unlocking; supporting asset sinking unlocking with no staking pressure; integrating staking interest and Earn interest, allowing users to obtain double rewards; supporting 0 trading unlocking; and increasing the fee contribution to unlocking from 20% to up to 50%. In addition, all locked $HTX will return to the pending unlocking pool. It is reported that this is the third optimization of the $HTX unlocking scheme by HTX. Molly stated that since the launch of the previous plan, the crypto industry has undergone significant changes, especially after black swan events occurred, affecting many users' assets and exacerbating the difficulty of unlocking via "asset sinking, fees". Therefore, the optimized plan will reduce unlocking difficulty through platform profit-sharing subsidies, to reward users for their support and trust in HTX.

参议员 Lummis 表示 Clarity 法案中的道德条款及非法金融规定仍需进一步协商，民主党方面对当前版本持反对态度。
According to The Block, Senate Republicans have released the latest text of the Clarity Act, consolidating previous versions from the Agriculture Committee and the Banking Committee, with plans to submit it for a full Senate vote as early as next week.
白宫加密顾问 Patrick Witt 在 X 平台发文表示，民主党方面对 CLARITY Act 中伦理条款的反对意见似乎主要有两种形式：（1）如果伦理条款无法由州总检察长执行，那么它就是没有意义的；（2）如果伦理条款不追究特朗普总统此前参与加密业务的行为，那么这一条款就是不可接受的。Patrick Witt 表示，如果你支持观点（1），那么实际上你是在说，所有现行联邦伦理法律都是没有意义的，因为目前这些法律没有任何一项可以由州总检察长执行。如果你支持观点（2），那么实际上没有任何措施能够满足你的要求，因为你所主张的做法明显违反宪法（参见美国宪法第一条第九款）。
U.S. Senate Republicans on Wednesday released a 616-page draft of the new Clarity Act, a significant legislative development in Congress's efforts to comprehensively regulate the digital asset industry. The crypto industry widely welcomed the draft, noting it retains protections for software developers and is expected to provide long-missing regulatory clarity for the U.S. digital asset market.Crypto Council for Innovation CEO Ji Hun Kim stated that bipartisan support is "critical" for the bill's passage. Solana Policy Institute CEO Miller Whitehouse-Levine called on Congress to seize the opportunity, while Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong remarked that the lack of a federal regulatory framework had previously allowed bad actors like FTX to harm consumers and forced a substantial amount of crypto business to move overseas.However, several Senate Democrats quickly voiced opposition, arguing that the ethics provisions in the new text addressing conflicts of interest related to Trump's crypto assets are too weak. Senator Angela Alsobrooks stated that the current proposal put forward by Republicans is still "not enough," and that provisions concerning elected officials' ethics, consumer protection, illicit finance, conflicts of interest, and market integrity all require strengthening.
Mizuho analysts stated that if the U.S. crypto market structure bill, the "Clarity Act," is passed, while it may generally benefit the digital asset industry, the long-term impact on Circle could be negative. The reason is that regulatory clarity will attract more large institutions into the stablecoin market, further accelerating stablecoin commodification and eroding the revenue potential of Circle's USDC.Mizuho believes that the primary pressure Circle faces in the near term comes from Open USD. This stablecoin project is backed by a coalition of over 140 financial, technology, and crypto companies, with members including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, and Coinbase. Unlike Circle's model, which retains approximately 38% of USDC reserve yields, Open USD employs a "pass-through" model, distributing nearly all reserve yields to distribution partners while retaining only a small management fee.Analysts also noted that Coinbase, as the largest distributor of USDC, also supports Open USD. This could give Coinbase stronger bargaining power when renegotiating its revenue-sharing agreement with Circle in the future. The distribution agreement between the two parties could be up for renegotiation as early as next month.
According to Politico, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Wednesday aimed at restricting members of Congress and their families from trading stocks. However, the bill faced division within the Democratic Party, as some Democrats argued it lacked sufficient strength. The legislation, named the "Stop Insider Trading Act," is the first congressional stock trading ban bill to be voted on by the full House of Representatives. It ultimately passed with a vote of 232 to 198, with 13 Democratic lawmakers voting in favor. Among the total 93 lawmakers who co-sponsored the bill, only two were Democrats. Another, more restrictive bill—which would require lawmakers and their families to sell stocks they currently hold—garnered broader bipartisan support but failed to reach a full House vote. Most Democrats believe the passed measure is insufficient because it does not include a mandate to divest existing holdings. The bill will now be sent to the Senate for consideration. (Jinshi)
documents filed by Protect Progress PAC, an affiliate of the crypto-focused political action committee Fairshake, with the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) show that as of Tuesday, it has spent over $986,000 to support current Democratic Representative Shri Thanedar in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District and oppose challenger Donavan McKinney. The expenditure occurs two weeks before the August 4 Democratic primary, which will determine the party’s nominee for the November general election. Protect Progress PAC spent approximately $1 million in 2024 to support Thanedar, who received 54.9% of the vote in that year’s Democratic primary and went on to secure 68.6% of the vote in the November general election. Fairshake and its affiliated organizations report having a $191 million war chest to influence key elections. Other crypto industry-related political action committees include the Fellowship, backed by Cantor Fitzgerald and Anchorage Digital, and the Blockchain Leadership Fund, supported by Anchorage and Chainlink Labs. Protect Progress PAC has also spent over $100,000 to support Arizona Representative Greg Stanton’s re-election.

Odaily Odaily News: US Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that she thanks Democratic colleagues for their significant contributions to the new draft of the CLARITY Act and pledged to continue pushing for an agreement in the coming days to ensure the bill can ultimately become law. Consumer protection and supporting innovation are not contradictory, and this draft bill proves that both can be achieved simultaneously. Previously, after holding a briefing call with industry stakeholders, US Senate Republicans released a new version of the CLARITY Act. The new text proposes prohibiting the President, Vice President, members of Congress, federal judges, and other officials, as well as their spouses, from receiving compensation through the issuance or sponsorship of digital assets while in office, with the relevant provisions valid until January 20, 2029. Officials subject to these restrictions must also sell their crypto assets and investments in crypto enterprises, or place them in a blind trust over which they have no control; the sale of crypto assets exceeding $1,000 must be disclosed.
