Odaily News: U.S. Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego stated at the Wyoming SALT blockchain conference that rushing the CLARITY Act to a Senate vote before resolving ethical concerns and stablecoin yield disputes could set back U.S. crypto market structure legislative progress.

Gallego said the crypto industry should push for continued negotiations between Senate Democrats and Republicans rather than an immediate vote. Lawmakers still need to address portions of the bill under the Agriculture Committee's jurisdiction, integrate a broader package, and determine how to bring it to the House, while also working toward the 60-vote threshold needed to pass in the Senate.

Gallego also noted that he and Republican Senator Thom Tillis submitted a compromise version of the ethics provisions to the White House before the congressional recess, but have not yet received line-by-line feedback. He believes that sufficiently strict ethics restrictions are a necessary condition for winning Democratic support and advancing the bill.

On Wednesday, President Trump met with crypto industry executives at the White House and urged Congress to pass a "fair version" of the CLARITY Act. Senate leadership has delayed action until September, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune previously stated that lawmakers will prioritize the bill upon returning from recess. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News: At the SALT conference held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA, Binance founder CZ stated that Bitcoin's "supercycle" has yet to materialize. The market continues to follow a relatively strict four-year cycle pattern and is currently in a bear market phase. As total market capitalization expands, price volatility is expected to narrow. However, CZ noted that the current industry environment is the most favorable in his 12 years of experience, with the U.S. regulatory framework serving as a model globally. Securities laws and exchange regulatory structures in many countries are referencing the U.S. approach. Hong Kong is also accelerating its legislative efforts to align with U.S. regulatory thinking.

Regarding the allocation of investment firm YZi Labs, CZ disclosed that approximately 70% of funds are directed toward core tracks in crypto and blockchain, about 20% toward AI, and the remainder toward biotech and other sectors. The firm uses its own capital and is not constrained by external LP return cycles, placing greater emphasis on the positive impact of projects and the execution capabilities of founding teams rather than purely financial returns.
