According to CoinDesk, U.S. bipartisan lawmakers Steven Horsford, Max Miller, Suzan DelBene, and Mike Carey jointly reintroduced the Digital Asset Protection, Accountability, Regulation, Innovation, Taxation, and Yield Act (the “EQUAL Act”) on Wednesday. The revised bill primarily includes the following provisions: (1) specifying that regulated payment stablecoins generate no gain or loss if their cost basis is no less than 99% of their redemption value; (2) establishing a safe harbor for broker transactions or taxpayer account transactions; (3) clarifying how “wash sale” rules apply to digital assets; and (4) requiring the IRS to assess the current tax burden associated with small-value cryptocurrency transactions and study the feasibility—and potential for abuse—of introducing a tax exemption for transactions under $200. The crypto industry has long advocated for tax exemptions on small-value transactions to promote cryptocurrency adoption in everyday payment scenarios. Representative Horsford stated that tax policy forms the foundation of the crypto regulatory framework, and that current tax law remains silent on numerous core issues concerning digital assets.
Anthropic announced a new Agent SDK billing policy effective June 15, 2026. Under the new rules, third-party agent tools like OpenClaw will be allowed to reconnect with the Claude subscription version, but will require a separate "dedicated monthly allowance" that is no longer shared with regular chat quotas.Previously, in April of this year, Anthropic restricted third-party tools from using Claude subscription quotas citing abuse prevention. This adjustment is seen as the final resolution to the related controversy—reopening third-party access while completely isolating agent calls from regular chat quotas.Specifically, Pro users will receive a $20 dedicated monthly allowance; Max 5x and advanced Team plans get $100; Max 20x and advanced Enterprise plans receive a maximum of $200. These allowances can only be used for third-party applications, self-built agent projects, and claude-p backend command calls. The allowance resets monthly, and any excess usage will be charged at standard API rates.
According to DL News, Bitcoin has surged 8% over the past two weeks and is currently trading near $74,000. Max Kahn, CEO of Digital Wealth Partners, noted that Bitcoin’s next upward move hinges on three key factors: first, inflation data driven by energy prices; second, market expectations regarding the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy—should inflation remain under control and market sentiment shift toward dovish expectations, risk assets like Bitcoin would benefit directly; and third, sustained institutional inflows, with Bitcoin ETFs recording $523 million in net inflows in April, continuing the strong performance seen since March.
