Headlines
Trump: Federal government shutdown expected in September
On July 22, local time, U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking in Georgia, mentioned that a federal government "shutdown" would occur in September due to disagreements between Republicans and Democrats over spending priorities. On July 21, local time, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed a short-term funding bill that would provide funding for federal agencies through December 4, avoiding a shutdown before the November midterm elections due to lack of funds. This temporary funding measure is also known as a "continuing resolution." The bill will now be sent to the Senate for consideration. Currently, Senate Republican leaders are negotiating with Democrats and considering their own short-term funding proposal. If Congress fails to pass a funding bill in time, funding for most federal agencies and programs will expire at midnight on September 30, the end of the current fiscal year.

US Republicans to Update Crypto Industry on CLARITY Act Text Progress
According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, citing an industry insider invited to a conference call, stakeholders in the crypto industry will hold a call with Republican leadership later this morning local time to receive updates on the latest text of the CLARITY Act.
The UK plans to issue its first tokenized sovereign bond by early 2027. A key prerequisite is solving the problem of on-chain cash settlement, an issue that has limited institutional use of digital bonds for years.
Industry experts say the plan likely has sufficient support from the UK Treasury, the Bank of England, and regulators to proceed despite recent political changes, and could increase demand for UK debt.
Progress is currently constrained by the lack of standardized on-chain payment methods, mature GBP stablecoins, and regulatory clarity.

Grayscale Research Head: Bitcoin Price May Have Bottomed If Fed Halts Rate Hikes
Grayscale Research Head Zach Pandl stated that the market currently has two main views on when the bitcoin bear market will end: one follows a "four-year cycle," and the other views bitcoin as a mature asset driven by macroeconomic factors. The "four-year cycle" view holds that the halving event remains the core driver of bitcoin's price cycle. Historically, bitcoin typically bottoms about one year after a cycle peak and about 2.5 years after a halving, with an average cumulative drawdown of around 80%. Following this pattern, bitcoin could still fall further in the current cycle, potentially forming a bottom in September or October. Another view suggests that bitcoin prices will, from now on, be more influenced by economic growth, real interest rates, and Fed policy changes, similar to other major assets. Past bitcoin bear markets have often been accompanied by slowing economic growth or rising real interest rates, and the current decline also occurred against a backdrop of rising rate hike expectations and higher real rates. Pandl stated he leans more towards the macro-driven view. If the Fed stops raising rates and economic growth remains stable, bitcoin prices may have already bottomed.
Actor Huang Xiaoming Invested in ChangXin for 100x Returns?
Recently, news regarding "Huang Xiaoming's investment in ChangXin Memory Technologies" sparked widespread discussion. Online rumors claimed the actor made returns of hundreds of billions of RMB from this investment.
Based on available information, the "Huang Xiaoming" holding equity in ChangXin Memory Technologies is not the same person as the actor Huang Xiaoming.
According to Sanyan Community news, Weibo blogger @万能的大熊 confirmed with actor Huang Xiaoming himself, who explicitly stated it was not his investment. Furthermore, the actual Huang Xiaoming holding ChangXin shares is likely an executive at Midea Group, holding an indirect stake of approximately 3.17% through ChangXin's ninth-largest shareholder, Zhaoyin Yunting (holding 1.58%). Upon ChangXin's listing, the value of these shares would be approximately 1 billion RMB.
Investor View: If CLARITY Passes, Lighter as a US Company Will Be the Biggest Beneficiary
Former Ethereum core developer and angel investor Eric Conner posted on X, stating that if the CLARITY Act is ultimately passed, Lighter could become the biggest winner. Most other projects are built overseas, but Lighter chose to be incorporated in the US and is currently applying for a CFTC license, with its founder even joining the CFTC's advisory committee. This bill is almost a direct unlock for their entire strategic logic.
