All 32 candidates voted last year in favor of sending the cryptocurrency industry's top legislative priority, the CLARITY Act, out of the House of Representatives, which is currently stalled in the Senate due to opposition from some lawmakers.The list includes key allies in the cryptocurrency industry such as Republican Representatives Tom Emmer and Bill Huizenga, as well as Democratic Representatives Ritchie Torres and Josh Gottheimer, some of whom are facing fiercely competitive races.Mason Lynaugh, Executive Director of Stand With Crypto, stated, "In 2024, we proved that crypto voters are real, and in 2026, we want to demonstrate our organizational mobilization ability; our advocates are a voting bloc that can truly impact outcomes."Stand With Crypto was launched by Coinbase in 2023 to influence elections by mobilizing voters rather than through large-scale campaign spending, and it claims to have over 3 million registered "advocates."

According to The Block, former Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist posted on the X platform, proposing the establishment of a new organization aligned with the Ethereum economy to "save" Ethereum. He believes that the Ethereum Foundation currently holds less than 0.1% of ETH, with no staking or fee income flowing in, so the new organization needs to raise at least $1 billion in funding, managed by competent leaders, with part of the funds coming from staking income, and driven by a more responsible board to boost Ethereum's price.Feist left the foundation last year to join Layer 1 network Tempo. He co-created the Danksharding shard design in the Ethereum community to enhance Layer 2 scalability, was appointed as a strategic advisor in areas such as L1 scaling and user experience during the restructuring of the foundation's leadership, and proposed EIP-9698, which would increase the Gas limit by 100 times.

Members of the crypto advocacy organization Stand With Crypto have written to the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, urging the protection of decentralized finance development in the advancement of crypto legislation and the retention of provisions that allow trading platforms to offer stablecoin yields.The letter points out that a clear and fair regulatory framework should be established while avoiding the undermining of innovative financial technologies.

Additionally, the letter emphasizes the need to retain provisions related to blockchain regulatory certainty legislation, clarifying that developers who do not control user funds are not considered money transmitters. Relevant legislation is still being advanced in the Senate Banking Committee.

Cactus Custody announced that its self-custody MPC (Multi-Party Computation) solution is officially launched. As a custody brand under Matrixport, Cactus holds a Hong Kong Trust TCSP license and has served numerous industry-renowned clients such as RedotPay, Fosun Wealth Holdings, and TDTC.As the Web3 industry matures, institutional clients are increasingly inclined to gain autonomy in custody while demanding the robust security infrastructure provided by third-party custodians. Cactus Custody's MPC solution cleverly bridges this gap by combining cutting-edge Intel SGX TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) with an institution-centric risk management engine.The core security cornerstone of the platform is the advanced MPC-TSS (Threshold Signature Scheme). Through this technology, private key shards are independently generated by multiple parties and jointly managed by devices controlled by Cactus and the clients. This architecture effectively eliminates the risk of "single points of failure," ensuring that no party can unilaterally transfer funds, thereby providing clients with absolute asset sovereignty and peace of mind.Cactus Custody CEO Daniel Lee commented, "Our new MPC solution is designed for institutions that prefer to manage assets directly while requiring secure and compliant infrastructure. By providing a compliant, flexible, and secure platform, we empower clients to flexibly and fully autonomously scale their digital asset businesses."
