According to The Block, the JPMorgan analyst team (led by Managing Director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou) released a report on July 30 stating that the probability of the "Clarity Act" (Crypto Market Structure Act) passing in the US Senate within the year has dropped to a historic low. The Kalshi prediction market shows a passing probability of only 37%, while Polymarket is even lower at 26%. Analysts pointed out that disagreements on core issues such as ethical provisions, enforcement standards, stablecoin yields, decentralized finance, and illicit finance remain unresolved. Voting is expected to be difficult to complete before the Senate summer recess, and may be postponed until after senators return in mid-September.

According to The Block, bipartisan Senators Thom Tillis (Republican) and Ruben Gallego (Democrat) submitted a new ethics compromise proposal to the White House on Thursday morning local time, attempting to break the deadlock in advancing the Clarity Act cryptocurrency legislation. Currently, there is less than a week left until the Senate recesses on August 7, but the bill still has not obtained the 60 votes required for passage. Democrats insist on adding stricter ethics provisions to constrain the Trump family's crypto interests, including the Meme coins they issued and the World Liberty Financial project in which the family participates, while some Republican senators have objections to the stablecoin interest provisions, worrying that it will divert deposits from traditional banks to the crypto sector. Although the draft leaked last week prohibited public officials and their spouses from issuing digital assets, it did not cover other family members, and included a "sunset clause" expiring in January 2029, which critics believe essentially nullifies the entire ethics provision. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent subsequently blamed the Democrats on X, stating that they "chose political gaming on the verge of a major victory". The Crypto Innovation Committee (CCI) warned that if the bill fails to pass, the US will hand over its global leadership position in the field of crypto regulation.

analysts at JPMorgan stated that the probability of the U.S. crypto market structure bill, the Clarity Act, passing the Senate by the end of this year has decreased, posing a headwind for the cryptocurrency market. Analysts pointed out that prediction markets show the likelihood of the bill passing this year has dropped to its lowest point of the year, with Kalshi at 37% and Polymarket at 26%.JPMorgan noted that the Senate prioritized other legislative matters before the summer recess. Additionally, unresolved issues such as ethical clauses, enforcement authority, stablecoin yields, DeFi, and illicit finance have made the bill's advancement prospects more uncertain. The bank had previously viewed the Clarity Act as a potential positive catalyst for the crypto market, as it would establish a clearer regulatory framework for the digital asset industry: digital commodities would be regulated by the CFTC, while digital securities would continue to fall under the SEC's jurisdiction.Analysts believe that if the bill is ultimately passed, it would help develop more institutionalized market infrastructure, ease regulatory restrictions on DeFi and stablecoin issuers, boost domestic liquidity and trading volumes in the U.S., and lower the barriers to entry for brokerages, exchanges, market makers, custodians, and bank-related platforms seeking to participate in the crypto industry.

Hedge funds are significantly reducing their stock exposure.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on X, stating that bonds have once again failed to hedge against stock declines. Since SPY retreated from its June highs, AGG, TLT, and LQD have all fallen. Although the time window is relatively short, it somewhat resembles the situation in 2022. He noted that many people have long relied on the 40% bond portion of the 40/60 portfolio to hedge against the 60% equity portion, which is also the reason behind the significant inflows into money market mutual funds and buffer ETFs.He further stated that this is not to say bonds will never hedge against stocks in the end, but their recent track record is less than ideal. The Fed's long-term rate cuts once pushed both bonds and stocks higher simultaneously. In 2022, when rates were unexpectedly hiked, both fell in tandem. Recently, rising crude oil prices have fueled inflation concerns, leading to a similar scenario once again.

Bitget Wallet announces that its crypto payment card, Bitget Wallet Card, has completed a major upgrade and will officially launch the "Assetback" mechanism on August 1, with the asset cashback rate simultaneously increased to 3%. This mechanism will be open to over 50 countries across Europe, Latin America, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. Cardholders can freely choose their preferred cashback assets, covering BTC, gold, tokenized US stocks (NVDA, TSLA, GOOGL, S&P 500), stablecoins, and more. The base asset cashback rate is 2%, while new users or users who reach the monthly spending threshold can unlock the 3% cashback tier. This upgrade breaks the traditional model where card swiping only returns cash/points, marking the transformation of Bitget Wallet Card services from consumption cashback to accumulation of appreciating assets. It turns daily consumption into an opportunity for RWA asset allocation, allowing users to achieve a new daily finance experience of "spend to build positions" without needing to open a brokerage account throughout the process or perform extra operations at checkout.

According to Bloomberg, Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASM International NV issued third-quarter revenue guidance, expecting quarterly revenue ending in September (at constant exchange rates) to reach 1.1 billion euros (approximately 1.3 billion US dollars), plus or minus 5%, higher than the analysts' average expectation of 1.04 billion euros. However, although the guidance exceeded market expectations, the company's stock performance remained flat, failing to elicit a positive response from investors. Analysts pointed out that this reflects that current market expectations for beneficiaries of the AI computing power investment boom have risen significantly, and simply "beating expectations" is no longer sufficient to boost market sentiment.
