Odaily Odaily News Polymarket traders pushed the probability of the CLARITY Act being signed into law this year to 35% on July 17, recovering from a low of 24% on July 13. The contract had approached 74% in May, before falling to 48% in June as negotiations dragged on. Senate Republicans plan to release the final text of the CLARITY Act after meeting with US President Donald Trump. Senator Bernie Moreno said the updated text will be released after the meeting, with the target for Senate floor consideration set for the week of July 20. The bill needs 60 votes in the Senate to pass. Republicans currently hold 53 seats, requiring at least 7 Democratic votes in support.

According to STAR Market Daily, Morgan Stanley issued a report indicating that TSMC's 2026 full-year revenue guidance significantly exceeded expectations. The company raised its 2026 revenue growth guidance to over 40% year-on-year, previously over 30%. Management attributed the upward revision to strong AI demand, despite challenges in consumer demand. Cloud Service Providers (CSP) customers are rapidly increasing cloud capital expenditure. TSMC did not update its AI semiconductor revenue CAGR forecast, but stated that actual performance is higher than the previous forecast of 55%-60%. The bank believes a 70% to 80% CAGR for TSMC's AI semiconductor business is a reasonable assumption. The bank raised its target price from 2,888 New Taiwan Dollars to 2,988 New Taiwan Dollars, maintaining an "Overweight" rating. In a volatile market environment, the company's quality profitability should continue to attract capital inflows; next, the 2026 second-quarter cloud capital expenditure updates announced by CSP customers will be an important catalyst.

DeFi infrastructure company Enso disclosed a type of malicious liquidity pool called "toxic pools" in a report on July 16th. These pools manipulate transaction simulations to return false optimal quotes to wallets and DEX aggregators, subsequently altering the logic during actual on-chain execution. Enso stated that the relevant malicious contracts can identify read-only simulation environments and return optimized prices, but when the transaction is broadcast on-chain, it is executed at a worse price or causes the transaction to fail. One manipulated Curve pool processed over 129,000 swaps, resulting in approximately $225,000 in inflated quotes. Additionally, over 37,000 transactions were reverted, consuming nearly $30,000 in gas fees. On Polygon, a malicious Uniswap v4 hook attracted routing systems with fake exchange rates, subsequently triggering a 99.1% transaction failure rate. Enso stated that it has updated its execution protection product, Enso Shield, to detect fake quotes in Ethereum and Polygon environments.

According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 16 energy storage report pointed out that electricity demand from data centers is surging, traditional grid expansion requires four to eight years, and energy storage has become the fastest solution with a 12 to 18-month deployment cycle. Goldman Sachs estimates that by 2030, behind-the-meter energy storage opportunities in the US will bring about 50GWh of increment, plus 11GWh from 800V DC data centers, total US energy storage deployment will reach 172GWh, significantly upwardly revised from the previous 112GWh. Globally, annual energy storage installations are expected to reach 2100GWh by 2040.

: Dovey Wan, founding partner of Primitive Ventures, posted on X that, from the "Kimchi premium" in each crypto cycle to the current "memory stocks," South Korea may be one of the clearest late-cycle indicators among global risk assets. This is not only because South Korean retail investors are extremely狂热投机者 (degens), but also because the market structure itself is further fueling retail frenzy.On May 27, South Korea launched leveraged products for single stocks, at a time when the price increase of these assets was already nearly vertical. Local South Korean retail investors rushed in at the peak of narrative heat. In comparison, investors in Hong Kong-listed leveraged products had several months of upward rally as a buffer before entering.When a fund and overpopulated domestic stock market, already in a reflexive surge phase, adds leverage tools to its hottest stocks, the very introduction of such products constitutes the formation of a topping signal.This happens every time in the cryptocurrency cycle — local South Korean exchanges typically list assets only after they have experienced parabolic surges on other global exchanges, leaving poor South Korean retail investors to serve as the final exit liquidity.
According to Bits.media, the Russian State Duma Committee on the Financial Market has recommended rejecting several loosening amendments to the government's cryptocurrency regulation bill, which is currently prepared for its second reading. The rejected amendments mainly include: increasing the annual limit for non-professional investors purchasing cryptocurrency through a single intermediary from 300,000 rubles to 600,000 rubles; expanding the scope of tradable cryptocurrencies to coins with a market cap exceeding 1 trillion rubles and average daily trading volume exceeding 100 billion rubles (the current draft requires a market cap of no less than 5 trillion rubles and trading volume of no less than 1 trillion rubles, effectively allowing only a very small number of coins such as BTC and ETH to be listed); allowing Russian citizens to use non-custodial crypto wallets; canceling the mandatory review power of digital custodians over every transaction; and postponing the bill's effective date to January 2027. The current version of the bill retains the power of digital custodians to review every transaction and freeze transactions. The bill completed its first reading in April this year and was originally planned to be passed before July 1, but has now been postponed to September 1, with the deliberation of the supporting criminal liability bill also scheduled no earlier than September.
