Odaily News: Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl said that even if the Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) is not passed, the operation of major blockchains, demand for Bitcoin as a store of value, and growth of stablecoin payments will not be immediately affected. Regulators will fill regulatory gaps through rulemaking. Zach Pandl noted that the lack of comprehensive market structure legislation could dampen new investment activity in the US, prompting crypto industry participants and startups to move to overseas jurisdictions with clearer regulatory frameworks. The US government will continue to support the development of the crypto ecosystem. Strategy co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor previously stated that regardless of whether the CLARITY Act is passed, Bitcoin will continue to develop, but the US needs regulatory clarity for digital assets. Senator Bernie Moreno said that Senate Democrats and Republicans have concluded related negotiations, and a vote will follow.

Odaily News: U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has filed a motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to consideration of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), with the Senate scheduled to hold the related procedural vote on September 15. The vote is expected to take place when the Senate reconvenes at 2:15 PM ET that day. The motion requires 60 votes to pass, meaning Republican lawmakers will need Democratic support to clear the procedural threshold. The two parties are still negotiating over provisions such as ethics rules and stablecoin reward regulations, with those differences having previously prevented an agreement before the August recess. This vote only concerns whether to begin floor consideration of the bill and does not represent a final vote or passage by the Senate. The CLARITY Act aims to establish a federal market structure for digital assets, clarify the conditions under which certain crypto assets are subject to securities or commodities law, and define the regulatory responsibilities of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Odaily News The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a notice reminding regulated entities involved in listing, promoting, or accepting trading of event contracts to ensure that consumers are provided with clear and accurate product pricing information, avoiding misleading market participants, including the obligation to display clear and accurate derivatives pricing information.The CFTC's Division of Market Oversight and Division of Market Participants stated that registered entities and related personnel must comply with regulatory requirements, ensure that users fully understand product attributes in CFTC-regulated markets, and strengthen oversight of information disclosure by intermediaries, affiliates, and partners. It also specifically noted that using the common "American odds" format to display event contract prices may mislead traders' understanding of the product's nature and prevent users from fully accessing key trading information such as market depth and price impact.The CFTC requires that market participants clearly present to consumers that products are event contracts on CFTC-regulated exchanges, and that any misleading pricing display practices related to regulated products may violate provisions of U.S. federal law concerning the prohibition of manipulative trading practices.

Odaily News: The latest software version 3.3.0 of XRP Ledger (XRPL) introduces several upgrade proposals, including Confidential Transfers. This feature is designed for institutional users, supporting encrypted token balances and transfer amounts while preserving the visibility of accounts and token types. It is primarily applied to Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPT) on XRPL, including tokenized financial assets such as funds and bonds. Through cryptographic technologies like zero-knowledge proofs, the network can verify transaction validity without disclosing specific amounts. XRPL currently holds approximately $1.38 billion in on-chain real-world assets (RWA), including about $845.7 million in RLUSD. In addition to RLUSD, there are over $530 million in tokenized assets on XRPL, involving issuers such as Ondo, VERT Capital, Archax, and Societe Generale. XRPL 3.3.0 also includes five proposals—Batch, Sponsor, Permission Delegation, and Dynamic MPT—addressing institutional needs such as batch transactions, fee sponsorship, permission management, and dynamic adjustments to token attributes. The aforementioned upgrades have not yet been officially launched and will only be activated after receiving support from more than 80% of XRPL's trusted validator nodes for two consecutive weeks.
Odaily News: Trump Media & Technology Group, the media company owned by U.S. President Donald Trump, has terminated the CRO treasury company initiative backed by Crypto.com and abandoned its broader digital asset partnership with Crypto.com. Trump Media, Crypto.com, and Yorkville Acquisition Corp. have agreed to terminate the related service agreements and digital asset product plans. The three companies stated that the decision was driven by the current market environment, as well as shifts in business and stakeholder priorities. The existing Truth Social Funds ETF will remain unchanged, and Trump Media will also abandon the direct integration of prediction markets into Truth Social, instead promoting Crypto.com's prediction market products to users through marketing partnerships. Trump Media interim CEO Kevin McGurn stated that the digital asset treasury company market has become increasingly competitive over the past year, and the prediction market business has likewise grown crowded. As a result, the company will scale back its related initiatives and pivot toward a distribution and data partner role.
According to Odaily, Randi Abernethy, Head of Clearing and Group Risk at Bullish, stated that the U.S. Senate's failure to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) does not mean the digital asset market will stop developing; rather, it highlights the necessity of establishing a federal regulatory framework.Abernethy noted that during the Senate's consideration of the CLARITY Act, traditional U.S. financial institutions have continued to accelerate their entry into the on-chain market. JPMorgan Chase has explored tokenized ETF holdings through a production pilot with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), and more than 50 institutions (including BlackRock and Goldman Sachs) are also participating in the development of tokenized stock and Treasury bond infrastructure. The current regulatory discussion is no longer just a "crypto industry issue," but one that concerns the future infrastructure of the entire financial system.Abernethy cited the 2008 financial crisis as an example, noting that financial risk spreads along shared infrastructure, and even institutions not directly involved in related assets can be affected. Today, the stablecoin market size has exceeded $100 billion, with a large portion of stablecoin reserves invested in U.S. Treasuries. If a major stablecoin were to face a crisis, it could impact liquidity in traditional financial markets. She stated that supporters of the CLARITY Act believe the bill could establish a unified regulatory framework for the digital asset market, including core investor protection mechanisms such as customer asset segregation, conflict of interest management, capital requirements, and information disclosure.

The U.S. Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) failed to seize a critical advancement window before the Senate's summer recess, and the market is now focusing on whether the U.S. crypto industry can continue to develop even if the bill ultimately fails.Analysts believe that if the CLARITY Act fails to pass, it would be a significant setback for the crypto industry, but not a fatal blow. The bill was designed to clarify the boundaries between securities, commodities, and other categories of digital assets, determine the agencies responsible for overseeing related businesses, and grant the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) clearer regulatory authority over crypto commodity trading.Currently, the bill's progress has stalled, and the likelihood of comprehensive crypto market structure legislation being enacted before the end of the year is declining. This means the U.S. may still lack a clear digital asset regulatory framework, particularly regarding oversight of trading in major crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), where jurisdictional gaps remain between the CFTC and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).However, industry insiders point out that even if the CLARITY Act fails, the SEC and CFTC are still likely to continue advancing industry development through policy statements, regulatory guidance, and existing enforcement authority.In recent years, both agencies have issued multiple pieces of guidance clarifying the regulatory boundaries of business models such as crypto mining, Meme coins, and staking rewards. One of the most significant measures among these is the digital asset taxonomy framework, which seeks to establish standardized regulatory classifications for different types of digital assets.

Odaily News - Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) announced that it has submitted a policy statement regarding the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Agricultural Advisory Committee meeting, supporting U.S. users' participation in the on-chain derivatives market and calling on regulators to adopt a gradual path to promote the development of innovative products such as Perpetual Futures.HPC stated that the U.S. derivatives market originated in agriculture. In the 19th century, grain exchanges in the U.S. Midwest used futures contracts to help farmers and traders discover prices and manage future delivery risks. Since 1922, the U.S. futures market had been regulated under the Department of Agriculture for a long period, until Congress established the CFTC in 1974, placing oversight of the agency under the jurisdiction of the Senate and House Agriculture Committees. Modern derivatives regulation should still revolve around the actual users of the market. Agricultural producers and processors have always been important constituents served by the CFTC, and market participants' needs for product choice, risk management tools, and market innovation should also serve as important references for the evolution of regulatory policy.HPC noted that perpetual futures are now becoming an important innovative derivative in the digital asset era. The committee's discussions on product choice, risk management gaps, and market modernization are highly relevant to current regulatory efforts to explore a regulatory framework for on-chain derivatives. In the submitted statement, HPC put forward three key points:1. Market choice is crucial for risk management. Users in agricultural and other derivatives markets need more tool options. Past experience with restricting innovative products suggests that closing off market choices without adequate evaluation can impose costs.2. A phased approach by the CFTC to regulating perpetual futures is a reasonable direction. HPC stated that the development of new derivatives should be driven by end-user demand rather than relying solely on regulatory presuppositions.3. Public blockchains can enhance the efficiency of financial infrastructure. HPC believes that blockchain technology can modernize clearing and settlement systems, improve collateral liquidity, while continuing to comply with the Commodity Exchange Act's requirements regarding market integrity and risk protection.
Odaily News - Investment firm Bernstein recently released a report assigning different ratings to two major Bitcoin miners transitioning to AI infrastructure: maintaining an "Outperform" rating on CleanSpark with a price target of $24, and initiating coverage on MARA Holdings with a "Market-Perform" rating and a price target of $17.Bernstein analysts stated that the core reason for the valuation divergence between the two companies lies in their differing progress in executing AI infrastructure transitions. CleanSpark has already signed an anchor tenant agreement for an AI data center and commenced construction, while MARA is still awaiting its first commercial AI contract.Regarding CleanSpark, the company previously announced the signing of a 20-year triple-net lease agreement with a global high-investment-grade technology firm, covering 175MW of IT capacity at its Sandersville, Georgia project. The agreement also includes exclusive cooperation arrangements for CleanSpark's total 885MW asset portfolio in Texas. Bernstein believes that CleanSpark's collaboration with tenant-designated engineering and construction contractors helps mitigate risks associated with its first large-scale AI infrastructure deployment. The first data center hall is expected to become operational in the fourth quarter of 2027.In contrast, Bernstein's assessment of MARA is more cautious. Analysts pointed out that the first commercial AI contract will serve as a key catalyst for a re-rating of MARA's stock, noting that company management previously indicated expectations of signing at least two AI lease agreements by the end of this year.

Odaily News With the end of the "Quiet Period" following SK Hynix's U.S. ADR listing, the market has begun to focus on whether the company will introduce shareholder return policies, including a stock split. Among these, the possibility of a "split" against the backdrop of high stock prices has become a key topic of discussion. Recent sentiment circulating in the Korean market suggests that SK Hynix may follow the precedent set by Samsung Electronics, promoting a stock split after continued share price gains to lower the per-share price and expand participation from individual investors. However, such claims have not yet been officially confirmed by the company.Park Seok-hyun, Deputy Head of the WM Products Division at Woori Bank, stated on YTN Radio on the 5th that there is "currently no clear basis" for an SK Hynix stock split, but it "cannot be considered entirely impossible." While SK Hynix's current par value is relatively low and whether there is room for another split is debated, a stock split is not completely out of the question as the share price continues to rise.He noted that following the listing of SK Hynix's ADR on the U.S. market in July, newly listed companies typically undergo a "quiet period" of about 25 days, during which major policy changes are rarely announced. That period ended on August 4th."The end of the quiet period means SK Hynix has entered a phase where it may announce important financial policies. The recent uptick in market discussions about stock splits and dividend increases may be linked to this timing," Park said.Market observers believe SK Hynix's current stock price is already at a high level on the Korean exchange. As of the close on the 5th, the company's stock was trading at 1.668 million KRW per share, a relatively high unit price. If a stock split were implemented in the future, it could lower the investment threshold and boost trading activity among retail and overseas investors.Additionally, Park noted that SK Hynix's profitability has improved significantly in recent years, and the company may also strengthen shareholder return policies in the future, including raising dividend levels. If such policies materialize, they could further increase interest from U.S. market investors in its ADR.However, SK Hynix has not yet made any official announcements regarding a stock split or adjustments to its dividend policy, and market speculation still awaits confirmation from the company's board and official sources.
