The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan today established the "Next Generation AI and On-Chain Finance Vision Project Group," founded by former Digital Minister Hirai Masaki, with former Ministry of Finance official and current chairman of the LDP Blockchain Promotion Parliamentary Alliance Kihara Seiji serving as director. The group is dedicated to formulating a national-level AI-driven on-chain finance framework, marking the formal inclusion of blockchain finance into the structural economic agenda of Japanese politics.Hirai Masaki stated in an interview that the integration of AI and blockchain will first impact the financial industry within a few years, saying, "This is not something that will happen in 5 to 10 years." He pointed out that while Japan already has infrastructure such as the JPYC stablecoin, the joint stablecoin projects of Mitsubishi UFJ, Sumitomo Mitsui, and Mizuho banks, as well as tokenized deposits from Japan Post Bank, there is a lack of a unified blueprint among these components.The project's recent goal is to publish a white paper covering regulatory reform proposals such as trust law, deposit insurance, and KYC frameworks, and to incorporate these into the LDP's growth strategy and the government's annual fiscal policy guidelines, while also pressuring the Financial Services Agency and the Ministry of Finance to accelerate action from regulatory bodies.

According to Cointelegraph, three Democratic senators from the United States have stated that they will oversee the Justice Department's alleged investigation into Binance for violating sanctions related to Iran. Senators Chris Van Hollen, Elizabeth Warren, and Ruben Gallego said in a joint statement that they will conduct oversight to ensure the Justice Department investigates Binance and holds it accountable for any wrongdoing.The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter, that the Justice Department is investigating whether Iran may have used Binance to evade sanctions. The senators stated that Binance has a documented history of prioritizing profits over the law, raising serious concerns about the company potentially violating U.S. sanctions laws again and funding activities related to terrorist organizations linked to Iran. Binance previously responded that it was unaware of any investigation but has been cooperating with regulatory and law enforcement agencies to investigate the facts. Binance has filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against a February article by The Wall Street Journal, claiming it constitutes defamation.

According to market news, U.S. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy posted a video on the X platform stating that last Friday, someone placed a "very specific bet" on "the U.S. going to war with Iran on Saturday." He pointed out that it is clear that individuals close to Trump were aware of Saturday's actions in advance, and these bettors likely have insider information. Murphy warned that if such war gambling continues, those around the president may "push us into war" for profit.Last Saturday, multiple related bets circulated widely on Polymarket. Reuters reported that Murphy and Democratic Congressman Mike Levin are working on drafting a bill to strengthen regulation of prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi. Levin stated that profiting from foreknowledge of military actions "absolutely should be illegal." He noted that while the Commodity Exchange Act prohibits contracts related to events that "contravene public interest," such as war and terrorism, current rules grant prediction markets too much freedom.

According to CNBC, dozens of Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Yellen on Thursday, requesting an investigation into potential conflicts of interest and national security issues related to the Trump family's cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial. The letter was led by New York Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks and was co-signed by 40 other lawmakers.Meeks referred to Yellen as Trump's "follower" during a hearing and questioned the $500 million investment by members of the UAE royal family in World Liberty Financial last year. In a statement released with the letter, Meeks said, "The $500 million transaction involving the Trump family and the UAE royal family not only concerns national financial stability but also involves serious national security implications." At the time of the request for an investigation, World Liberty Financial was applying for a national bank charter. This charter is reviewed and issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, an independent agency under the U.S. Treasury responsible for regulating the banking industry.

According to The Block, investment bank TD Cowen stated that filling the Democratic vacancies at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission could help advance negotiations on the U.S. crypto market structure bill.The investment bank pointed out that the biggest obstacle to the passage of this bill is not its core framework (i.e., whether digital assets should be regulated as securities by the SEC or as commodities by the CFTC), but rather a political dispute surrounding conflict of interest rules.Democrats are pushing for a ban to prevent senior government officials and their families from engaging in specific financial transactions involving digital assets. TD Cowen noted that, given Trump's involvement in the crypto project World Liberty Financial, this proposal would affect Trump and his family. Bloomberg estimated last month that Trump has made about $1.4 billion from his crypto project. The Trump family also holds a 20% stake in the mining company American Bitcoin.According to TD Cowen, it is unlikely that Democrats will abandon this demand, as the party has used Trump's crypto asset holdings as campaign material ahead of the midterm elections. Last month, no Democratic senators voted in favor of a bill in the Senate Agriculture Committee, citing concerns over Trump's crypto project. It remains unclear whether Democrats will support the Senate Banking Committee's bill.TD Cowen stated that Republicans oppose the proposal because they believe Trump would veto any legislation requiring his family to divest their crypto asset holdings. The report added that this disagreement has already caused a political stalemate, even as industry groups continue to negotiate the crypto regulatory framework.One possible path forward is for both parties to reach a compromise. In this scenario, Trump would agree to fill the Democratic vacancies at the SEC and CFTC. In return, Democrats would accept conflict of interest provisions that would only take effect after the next presidential inauguration.

According to market news, Paul Atkins, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated at a Senate Banking Committee hearing that while his agency has the authority to provide regulatory clarity for the crypto industry through rulemaking, such rules lack "future adaptability" and can easily be overturned by subsequent administrations. Therefore, "a solid foundation in law is needed to prevent future backtracking."Atkins noted that the SEC currently has "quite broad powers" to advance rulemaking through the "Project Crypto" agenda, but he emphasized that "Congress needs to enact good legislation" to support these rules. Although progress on the Senate's bill to regulate the cryptocurrency market structure has been intermittent, one of the main Democratic negotiators, Senator Mark Warner, expressed at the hearing that he still hopes this work can make progress.

At a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee, several Democratic lawmakers questioned SEC Chairman Paul Atkins regarding the recent reduction in enforcement actions against the cryptocurrency industry by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), expressing concerns about whether these decisions are linked to Trump and his connections to the crypto industry.Lawmakers specifically mentioned the SEC's suspension of the case against Tron founder Justin Sun and the withdrawal of the lawsuit against Binance. Democratic Congressman Stephen Lynch stated during the hearing that the decline in SEC enforcement has impacted the agency's reputation and demanded an explanation for why the related cases were not pursued further. The SEC had previously sued Justin Sun in 2023 for allegedly issuing unregistered securities and manipulating trading volumes, but later in 2025, it applied to pause the case to explore settlement possibilities; in May of the same year, the SEC withdrew its lawsuit against Binance under Atkins's leadership.Data shows that in 2025, the SEC's overall enforcement actions decreased by about 30% compared to the previous year, with crypto-related cases dropping by approximately 60%, which is viewed by outsiders as a signal of a shift in regulatory focus. In response, Atkins stated that the SEC still maintains a "strong enforcement presence" and noted that some changes are part of the normal adjustments following a change in regulatory leadership.

According to the latest "January 2026 Private Wealth Management Monthly Report" released by Gate, the crypto market experienced a sell-off in January, with BTC and ETH dropping by 10% and 18% respectively. In the overall pressured market environment, the Gate Private Wealth Quantitative Fund performed relatively steadily, with the USDT strategy achieving a return rate of 6.7% over the past year. The report noted that the Interstellar Hedge (USDT) strategy stood out with a monthly annualized return rate of 5.0%, while the Quantum Leap (USDT) and Interstellar Hedge (USDT) strategies have achieved a 100% monthly win rate since their inception. The annualized return rate of the top 30% portfolio in January reached 4.5%, significantly outperforming Bitcoin and U.S. Treasury yields.From an overall perspective, Walsh's appointment is not sufficient to be interpreted as a comprehensive tightening of monetary policy stance; the mainstream market expectation still believes there is room for two rate cuts this year. Although adjustments in monetary policy expectations and increased phase selling have intensified market volatility, historical data indicates that we are more likely in a market consolidation phase, with long-term structural trends still having development potential.

According to reporter Eleanor Terrett, a Democratic staffer stated that the atmosphere of the relevant meeting was "positive," and described it as "the most productive Democratic meeting so far." Chuck Schumer also attended the meeting, emphasizing the importance of industry participation and calling for the momentum of legislative progress to be maintained and for the bill to be passed as soon as possible.Although there are still clear demands regarding certain provisions within the Democratic Party, attendees generally believe that this legislative effort, which was once considered "on the verge of being shelved" a few weeks ago, is currently "far from over," and there is still potential for progress.

Crypto reporter Eleanor Terrett revealed that two insiders disclosed that Senate Democrats plan to hold another closed-door meeting tomorrow to discuss the "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act" (the CLARITY Act). This will be the first meeting held by Democratic members since the Senate Banking Committee postponed the bill's consideration last month.

The Democratic leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, stated that they will not assist the Republicans in quickly passing the federal government funding plan. U.S. media pointed out that Jeffries' statement implies that the U.S. government shutdown may last longer than expected. The U.S. Senate passed the funding bill for several federal departments for the remainder of the fiscal year on January 30, which will be sent to the House for consideration. However, the House is currently in recess and may vote on the funding bill as early as February 2.It is reported that the operational funds for several federal departments, including the U.S. Department of State and the Pentagon, were exhausted as of January 30, causing the U.S. federal government to enter a partial "shutdown" starting at midnight on January 31.

According to Jinshi, U.S. Democratic Senator Warren stated that no Republican should agree to advance the nomination of Waller before President Trump halts the investigation into the Federal Reserve.
