参议员提案设立联邦反腐败局，矛头直指特朗普加密收益及家族利益冲突
据 Cointelegraph 报道，美国参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）于 7月 31 日正式提出《反腐败局创建法案》（Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act），拟设立一个专职处理联邦层面腐败问题的新政府机构。 该法案明确点名特朗普，援引其 2025 年披露的逾 20 亿美元投资收益（其中加密相关收益达 14 亿美元），以及其家族持有与外国政府挂钩的逾 10 亿美元加密基金。拟设机构将由 7 名两党成员组成，经参议院确认后就任，具备调查、执法及预防行政腐败的"实质权力"，并将联邦选举委员会、政府伦理办公室及特别顾问办公室整合至同一屋檐下。参议员 Andy Kim、Alex Padilla 和 Jeff Merkley 联署共同提案。 白宫副新闻秘书 Anna Kelly 对此回应称，特朗普的投资"由独立第三方金融机构管理的全权委托账户持有，不存在利益冲突"。
Multiple Senate Democrats publicly opposed the Clarity Act, calling it a "Corruption Act."
According to CoinDesk, U.S. Senators Chris Murphy, Chris Van Hollen, and Jeff Merkley held a press conference on Capitol Hill on July 14, publicly announcing opposition to the cryptocurrency market structure bill, the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" (Clarity Act), and characterized it as "corrupt legislation." The core focus of the three senators' opposition is that the bill currently still fails to incorporate ethical provisions prohibiting the President and senior government officials from personally participating in the crypto industry. Van Hollen stated bluntly that the bill "will cause great harm"; Murphy used even stronger language, stating that if the bill cannot cut off the entanglement of interests between the Trump family and the crypto industry, it "is itself an umbrella for corruption."
Analyst: History May Repeat Itself, Bitcoin Price Could Drop to $33,000
According to Cointelegraph, cryptocurrency analysts are divided on whether Bitcoin will reenact its historical “Sell in May” pattern in 2026. In the two midterm election years—2018 and 2022—Bitcoin experienced sharp declines in May, falling approximately 30% and 70%, respectively. Analyst Merlijn Enkelaar warned that this historical pattern could repeat, with Bitcoin potentially dropping to $33,000. Joao Wedson, CEO of Alphractal, also noted that if Bitcoin remains persistently below $78,000, the likelihood of a new capitulation phase increases. However, Jeff Ko, Chief Analyst at CoinEx, argued that past crashes stemmed from specific shocks—including the Mt. Gox incident, China’s ICO regulations, the Federal Reserve’s monetary tightening, and the collapses of Terra and FTX—not from calendar-based seasonality. He added that the launch of spot ETFs, corporate treasury allocations, and progress on the CLARITY Act have significantly broadened the institutional buyer base, making a 70–80% deep correction unlikely this cycle. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe highlighted $76,000 as the current critical support level; failure to hold it would likely trigger further downside pressure.

Caixin: Polymarket’s use of USDC for settlement and delivery poses a significant legal risk to participants within China.
According to an article published by Caixin titled “Financial Innovation or Insider Trading? The Rise and Controversy of Polymarket,” when insider information can be openly monetized, the boundary of prediction markets has already become blurred—raising questions about whether such markets are merely “gambling” disguised as finance, or even涉嫌 insider trading. Yet regardless of the legal debate over whether such activities constitute gambling, the fact that Polymarket uses the USDC stablecoin for settlement and delivery itself poses a significant legal risk for participants within China. Previously, U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Amy Klobuchar introduced the “End Prediction Market Corruption Act,” which prohibits the President, Vice President, and members of Congress from trading on prediction markets and requires that the prediction market trading activities of their spouses and dependents be included in annual financial disclosures.
