Major US banking organization proposes to include the stablecoin secondary market as a customer identification requirement

In comparison, Bank Policy Institute (BPI) is an organization representing large banks such as JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citi. BPI proposed that the US Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) should expand customer identification program requirements to the stablecoin secondary market to cover exchanges and other platforms that directly establish account relationships with retail investors. According to BPI, related exchanges and platforms undertake a large number of buying and selling activities in the payment stablecoin ecosystem, and most illegal stablecoin-related activities occur here. If the proposal is included in the rules, the relevant platforms will have to collect customer information in accordance with the Bank Secrecy Law, and decentralized exchanges may also be included in the scope of supervision. According to FinCEN's proposed rules, stablecoin secondary market transactions on the blockchain usually use anonymous or pseudonymous identities, and there are no centralized nodes that collect identity information, and issuers are limited in their ability to collect secondary market customer data. BPI has also opposed the current version of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act with other banking organizations.

US Congressman Tlaib, who opposed the CLARITY Act, was revealed to hold BTC, ETH-related ETFs

Comparatively, according to the “New York Post”, US Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib's latest financial disclosure shows that its approximately $1.2 million retirement investment account includes a grayscale Ethereum ETF of up to $15,000 and a Bitcoin ETF of up to $15,000. Both are ETF holdings and are not directly holding BTC or ETH. According to the disclosure documents, the account contained a total of 41 investments. Since US lawmakers are only required to disclose assets in monetary ranges, it is impossible to determine the exact size of Tlaib's holdings of the said crypto ETF. Tlaib previously voted against the CLARITY Act supporting the crypto industry and supported a resolution aimed at banning crypto corruption. The CLARITY bill is expected to be reviewed by the Senate in September after the US Congress has adjourned.

The US debt repurchase program unexpectedly boosted Bitcoin by 25%, and the scale of short liquidations reached $4 billion

Comparatively, after the US Treasury expanded the scale of long-term US bond repurchases, the yield on 30-year US bonds fell from a 19-year high of 5.34% to about 5.19%, while Bitcoin rose by about 25% within a few days, breaking through $79,000 at one point. Approximately $4 billion of short cryptocurrency positions were liquidated during this period, further amplifying the gains. The US Treasury Department previously announced that it would increase the scale of the longest term treasury bond repurchase operation from a single $2 billion to $4 billion. Analysts pointed out that this operation is not equivalent to the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing (QE). The main effect is to improve the liquidity of old securities and optimize the debt structure, but the market sees it as a signal of policy support for long-term US bond yields. Analysts believe that the key to Bitcoin's surge is not the buyback itself, but rather that the market's previous short positions were too concentrated. After the long-term decline in US bond yields, bears were forced to close their positions, creating a strong shorting market. Meanwhile, the net inflow of US spot Bitcoin ETFs was around $6.5 billion this week, and Trump once again urged Congress to move forward with the CLARITY Act to further strengthen market risk appetite. CoinEx chief analyst Jeff Ko said that the key right now is whether Bitcoin can hold the 200-day EMA of around $69,000 and turn it from resistance to support. Market participants also warned that if the 10-year US Treasury yield rises above 4.7% and the 30-year yield approaches 5.3%, Bitcoin's current breakthrough may face a new test. Bitcoin has now broken through the 200-day EMA and continues to rise. In the next phase, the market will focus on whether it can maintain its gains in a high-yield environment.

Wall Street and Washington Jointly Drive BTC Rally: ETF Inflows and Short Liquidations Accelerate the Market

Comparing news, Bitcoin has continued to rise recently. This round of rise was driven by multiple factors such as the return of institutional capital, improvements in the macro environment, warming US regulatory expectations, and large-scale short liquidations. In terms of capital inflows, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recently re-attracted institutional capital. On August 19 and 20, US spot BTC ETFs recorded net inflows of approximately $517 million and $606 million, respectively, according to the data. The ETF bought around 7,500 BTC in a single day, the highest level since April, according to CoinShares research director Julio Moreno. The market believes that the US Treasury's expansion of the long-term treasury bond repurchase program weakens the performance of the US dollar, pushes currency depreciation transactions to heat up, and further flows of capital to Bitcoin and gold. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's push for legislation on the structure of the crypto market has also lessened investors' concerns about regulatory uncertainty. Furthermore, the US Congress is advancing the construction of crypto regulatory frameworks such as the Clarity Act to clarify the responsibilities of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in digital asset regulation. Analysts believe that Bitcoin currently has a high level of regulatory certainty, and the relevant legislation's direct impact on BTC is limited, but it can help reduce the regulatory risk premium for the entire crypto market. The rise in the market also triggered large-scale short positions to be closed. The data shows that over the past two to three days, the crypto market has liquidated more than $40 billion, of which around $2.7 billion was liquidated in a single day, then another $1.2 billion was liquidated. Analysts say that this round of shortfall has become one of the biggest shortfall recovery events in the crypto market recently. Market participants believe that if institutional capital continues to flow in and the regulatory environment is further improved, Bitcoin's upward trend in the medium term may continue.

Opinion: Changing key provisions of the Clarity Act would cause legislation to fail and should be passed as soon as possible

Comparing news, Summer Mersinger, CEO of the US Blockchain Association (Blockchain Association), wrote that there are less than four weeks left until the US Senate votes to advance the “Clarity Act” debate on September 15. Reopening the provisions that have been under negotiation for several months at this time will not improve the bill; on the contrary, it will restart the unfinished negotiation process, which may eventually lead to the failure of the legislation. Mersinger said that the two proposed revisions proposed by the American Bankers Association (ABA) — replacing the existing standard with substantially similar interest and removing the word “simply” were not simple text adjustments, but major policy changes. She pointed out that similar interest is essentially a flexible legal standard, which may allow regulators to expand the scope of interpretation; and removing Solely will change the scope of application of stablecoin income restrictions in the GENIUS Act and affect the policy boundaries previously set by Congress. Mersinger stated that ABA's concerns that stablecoins may cause bank deposits to be lost have no real basis. The data shows that since the GENIUS Act was passed, bank of America deposits have grown for three consecutive quarters, with a cumulative increase of more than 800 billion US dollars. She stressed that what is really needed to protect consumers is to establish a digital asset regulatory framework. The Clarity Act will clarify the regulatory boundaries between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), require registration of platforms serving US users, and implement customer asset isolation, information disclosure, and conflict of interest management rules. Mersinger finally called on the US Senate not to restart negotiations. The bill has been completed, the relevant work has been completed, and the Senate has an opportunity to push it forward on September 15, and it should be passed directly.

Crypto industry association sues Illinois to challenge 0.2% digital asset tax

According to CoinDesk, the Crypto Innovation Commission (CCI) and Blockchain Association (Blockchain Association) recently filed a civil lawsuit in Sangam County, Illinois, to officially join the legal challenge to the state's digital asset tax policy. The move comes on the heels of a lawsuit initiated by the Digital Chamber of Commerce (Digital Chamber) last month, and marks a further escalation of the industry alliance's rivalry. The plaintiff alleges that the state's new tax law violates the US Constitution, the Illinois Constitution, and the Internet Tax Freedom Act. The source of the dispute is that the tax law requires entities that conduct business or provide services to residents in the state to pay a 0.2% digital asset transaction or storage tax if their annual income exceeds $100,000. Although lawmakers expect the measure to raise $60 million in the state budget each year, the plaintiffs said the move constituted a 'unique punitive treatment' for digital assets due to the lack of corresponding taxes on traditional assets, suspected of unjust allocation of resources through tax codes.

[Comparative Daily News Picks] Anthropic plans to include anti-AI sentiment as the main risk factor in the prospectus; Strategy's stock price hit a two-month high, and STRC returned above $96; Bernstein: Even if the “Clarity Act” is not passed, the SEC and CFTC will speed up rule-making; Dalio: The US debt crisis may break out within three years, and it is recommended to increase gold holdings

Daily AI · Crypto · Macro · Market Highlights, Bitpush helps you set priorities ↓ AI · News [Anthropic plans to include anti-AI sentiment as the main risk factor in the prospectus]. According to CNBC, Anthropic is expected to list the public's negative sentiment about artificial intelligence and data centers as a risk factor in the IPO prospectus to be released in the next few weeks. According to people familiar with the matter, Anthropic recently held a pre-listing “market trial” meeting with bankers and investors. Investors focused on competitive pressure, the impact of open source models on profit margins, and the risks that may be brought about by a slowdown in data center construction. Anthropic is currently valued at close to $1 trillion in the private equity market and is preparing to hit a major IPO. However, as Americans' concerns about AI replacing employment and data center expansion heat up, the related backlash sentiment is becoming a new challenge facing the company's listing. The company has previously achieved an annualized revenue operating rate of more than 65 billion US dollars. [Apple cuts Siri and Vision Pro team positions, and resources shift to AI and new devices] Compared to news, Apple (AAPL.O) is laying off employees from various teams responsible for Siri's digital assistants and Vision Pro headsets.

Of these, about 100 jobs in the Vision Pro department have been abolished, and about 100 other positions in the Siri and software teams have been cut. The move is part of the company's efforts to focus resources on new devices and artificial intelligence. People familiar with the matter said that in this adjustment, Apple has basically shut down a team dedicated to the Vision Pro game business, while also reducing the size of the department responsible for producing immersive video content for the device. Apple admitted in a statement that the company is making adjustments to some teams “to drive business development and provide the best experience for users.” [Castle Securities: Over 80% of the overall risk in the Situational Awareness Fund portfolio has been divested] According to the Financial Times, Castle Securities founder Ken Griffin responded to the company's acquisition of Situational Awareness assets under Leopold (Leopold) in a letter to clients on Friday.

In his letter, Griffin wrote, “A transaction of this scale would not have been possible without the full cooperation of the transaction teams and lead brokerage teams of the banks serving the two companies. I am very grateful for their dedicated efforts to complete the portfolio transfer quickly.” Griffin also confirmed that the company's flagship multi-strategy fund, the Wellington Fund, had a return of 5.94% in July, which is the fund's best monthly performance since 2022.

[Bernstein: Even if the Clarity Act is not passed, the SEC and CFTC will speed up rulemaking] Comparing news, the Bernstein analyst team led by Gautam Chhugani released a report stating that regardless of the procedural voting results of the “Clarity Act” on September 15, the certainty of US crypto regulation is expected to increase. They expect the SEC and CFTC to accelerate rulemaking in areas such as native crypto asset issuance, tokenized stocks, perpetual futures, computing power derivatives, and predictive markets. This regulatory clarity of expectations has become one of the broader supporting factors in the crypto market. 【A...

Dalio's latest warning: the US debt crisis may explode within three years. The antidote is...

Author: Ray Dalio, founder of Qiaoshui Foundation Original title: How Countries Go Broke: The Dynamic Behind What is Incurable Now Compiled and organized by: bitPushNews In “How Countries Go Bankrupt: The Big Cycle,” I detailed an analytical framework to describe dynamic processes that are highly likely to occur due to unsustainable imbalances between debt supply and demand. Recently, three things happened at the same time: 1) The Japanese government sold part of its US Treasury holdings to return capital to Japan to support the yen and the Japanese capital market, and reduce exposure to US Treasury bonds while avoiding being forced to raise interest rates beyond its wishes in order to support the yen; 2) US bond yields hit new highs under long-term leadership, while the dollar weakened. The reasons include not only the current and anticipated supply of huge debt, but also weak demand for US bonds; 3) Treasury Secretary Bessent announced this week that the US Treasury would buy US Treasury bonds and be able to buy other US Treasury bonds The amount of capital used is limited, and many people ask me : Do these events fit the classic template I set out in my book? The answer is yes. To anticipate what might happen next, let's first review this operating mechanism. The operating mechanism explains in detail that the central government's debt dynamics are the same principles as the debt dynamics of individuals or companies. The only difference is that the central government has a central bank that can print money (this will depreciate the currency), and it can obtain funds from the public through taxation. Because of this, if you imagine how the debt dynamic would work if you or the business you run could print money, or get capital from people through taxation — then you can understand this process. But remember, your goal is for the entire system to work well, not only for yourself, but for all citizens. In my opinion, the credit/market system is like the human body's circulatory system, delivering nutrients to every corner that makes up the market and economy. If credit is used effectively, it can generate productivity and income to repay debt and interest on debt, which is a healthy state of affairs. However, if credit is not properly used to generate sufficient income to repay debts and interest, debt payments will continue to pile up like plaques in blood vessels, squeezing other expenses. When debt payments become very large, debt repayment problems arise, and eventually evolve into debt rollover problems — because debt holders are unwilling to continue to roll over and instead want to sell. Naturally, this will lead to a shortage of demand and sell-off of debt instruments such as bonds; when demand is scarce relative to supply, it either causes a) interest rates to rise, thereby suppressing the market and economic downturn, or b) the central bank “prints money” and buys debt, which will reduce the value of the currency, thereby driving up inflation (compared to the original level). Banknote printing also artificially lowers interest rates and harms lenders' returns. Both options are bad. When debt sell-offs are too large and difficult to contain, and the central bank has already purchased large amounts of debt, rising interest rates can cause the central bank to lose money and damage its cash flow. If this continues, the central bank will fall into a situation where net assets are negative. When this situation became serious, the central government and central bank needed to borrow money to repay the principal and interest of the debt, while the central bank printed money to provide loans due to insufficient free market demand, so a self-reinforcing spiral between debt/banknote printing/inflation formed. In summary, the classic indicators to pay attention to are the following: the ratio of government debt payments to government revenue (which is like the amount of plaque in the circulatory system), the ratio of government debt sold to the demand for government debt (this is like a plaque falling off and causing a heart attack), and the amount of government debt purchased by the central bank to cover the gap between the demand for government debt and the supply of government debt to be sold (this is like the central bank applying a larger dose of liquidity/credit to mitigate liquidity shortages, and the central bank has a risk appetite for these debts). These indicators usually rise over a long cycle of decades — debt and debt payments continue to grow in relation to income — until this state of affairs cannot continue because: 1) debt repayment expenses unacceptably crowd out other expenses, 2) the supply of debt that must be purchased is too large, causing interest rates to rise sharply, leading to a sharp decline in the market and economy, or 3) central banks are unwilling to let interest rates rise and suffer bad market/economic consequences, so they print large amounts of money and buy large amounts of government debt to cover the demand gap, thereby making the value of the currency significant Decreased. Either way, the return on bonds will be poor until the money and debt eventually become cheap enough to attract demand, or the government can cheaply buy back or repay...

Coinbase CEO: CLARITY Act Expected to Receive 60 Senate Votes on September 15

In comparison, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said that the US “Clarity Act” (CLARITY Act) is expected to receive more than 60 votes in the US Senate on September 15, and is confident that it will pass the first key procedural vote after returning to Congress. Brian Armstrong previously said that the CLARITY Act is in the final stages of progress, and the Senate procedural vote requires 60 votes to push the bill forward. The bill aims to establish a US digital asset regulatory framework and clarify the division of responsibilities between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in crypto asset regulation. Armstrong believes that regulatory clarification of the US crypto industry is approaching. Whether the CLARITY Act is finally passed or regulators advance through administrative rules, the market will usher in a more clear regulatory environment. Earlier, US President Trump also called on Congress to push for the passage of the CLARITY Act, believing that the bill is of great significance in establishing a digital asset regulation system and enhancing the competitiveness of the US crypto industry. reuters.com However, the bill still faces disputes from some lawmakers over issues such as conflicts of interest and stablecoin regulation, and whether it can be successfully implemented in the end still depends on subsequent negotiations in the Senate.
