According to Politico, the cryptocurrency asset bill led by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott is embroiled in controversy over the DeFi developer protection clause, making bipartisan consensus difficult to achieve.The controversial clause aims to exempt non-custodial software developers who do not control user funds from registering as money transmitters or complying with anti-money laundering requirements. Law enforcement agencies such as the National Sheriffs' Association and the National District Attorneys Association have sent letters to Congress warning that this clause would weaken the ability to combat financial crime; Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has also expressed similar concerns.The cryptocurrency industry views this as the core of the bill, with DeFi Education Fund Executive Director Amanda Tuminelli explicitly stating that no modifications to the clause text will be accepted. Democratic Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Mark Warner are pushing for amendments to the clause. If the two parties fail to reach a consensus, the bill may advance without Democratic support, affecting the bipartisan majority needed for a full Senate vote.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Department of Justice submitted documents to a federal court on Tuesday, requesting to block Arizona from applying its gambling laws to the prediction market operator Kalshi.Federal regulators argue that contracts linked to sports events, elections, and other real-world events fall under a financial derivative known as "swaps," which should be subject to federal regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act, rather than governed by state gambling laws. Arizona had previously filed criminal charges against Kalshi under state gambling laws, with a hearing scheduled for April 13.The federal appeals court in New Jersey had previously ruled in favor of Kalshi, determining that its sports contracts are presumed legal under federal law in the absence of CFTC intervention, but courts in other jurisdictions have allowed state-level enforcement actions to proceed. If the court ultimately accepts the CFTC's position, prediction markets could operate nationwide under a unified federal framework.

According to CoinDesk, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) will jointly issue proposed rules requiring stablecoin issuers to establish a comprehensive anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance system. Specific measures include freezing, intercepting, and rejecting suspicious transactions, as well as complying with the relevant provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act.The rules emphasize an outcome-oriented approach, believing that financial institutions understand their own risks best. Issuers that establish a sound compliance system are typically exempt from enforcement actions. This move aims to implement the GENIUS Act passed last year, which is expected to take full effect in 2027.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Treasury is set to release proposed rules requiring stablecoin issuers to establish standards to combat money laundering and sanctions violations.According to a summary of the proposal obtained by CoinDesk, the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) will jointly formulate rules that clarify how issuers can comply with the GENIUS Act passed last year, including establishing controls to block, freeze, and reject suspicious transactions. FinCEN will require issuers' anti-money laundering programs to be able to pause flagged transactions and focus more resources on high-risk customers and activities.When U.S. authorities pursue specific targets, regulated issuers must screen their records for activities related to flagged individuals or entities. OFAC requires issuers to operate risk-based sanctions compliance safeguards in both primary and secondary markets, identifying and rejecting transactions that may violate U.S. sanctions regulations. The proposal emphasizes respect for the industry, believing that financial institutions are best aware of their own money laundering and terrorist financing risks, and companies that maintain appropriate anti-money laundering measures typically do not face enforcement actions.U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that these measures will protect the U.S. financial system from national security threats while not hindering the development of U.S. businesses in the stablecoin ecosystem. The proposal will enter a public comment period and may be revised before finalization.

According to Cryptoquant analyst Darkfost, there has been a significant market pattern shift in Ethereum derivatives, the first since the bear market of 2023. Darkfost pointed out that while the net trading volume of ETH has been negative for most of 2023, it has now turned positive. Currently, this metric shows that buying pressure is dominant, with a buying amount of $104 million.It is noteworthy that even when Ethereum's price was close to new highs previously, this metric indicated that selling pressure remained very strong, but now this situation seems to be changing.Darkfost believes that due to the positive buying pressure facing Ethereum, this could help form a stronger bottom. If this dynamic continues, and the spot market and ETFs begin to support this trend, Ethereum may potentially resume its upward trend.

The People's Court of Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province recently tried a criminal case involving virtual currency, where the defendant, through a "high-paying errand" job, knowingly withdrew a total of over 390,000 yuan within 7 days in areas without surveillance, and converted the funds into virtual currency to transfer to their superior, profiting 21,500 yuan in the process.The court determined that the defendant constituted the crime of concealing and disguising criminal proceeds, sentencing them to two years and four months in prison and imposing a fine of 10,000 yuan, as well as ordering the return of illegal gains. The judge reminded that offline cash withdrawals have become a key link in "laundering" telecom fraud proceeds, and that "errand cash withdrawals" and "high-paying daily settlements" are often part of the fraud chain. The public should be vigilant against behaviors such as cash collection, transfers, and assisting in fund transfers to avoid becoming accomplices in crime.

VanEck's research director Matthew Sigel analyzed in a post on the X platform that the current protective demand in the Bitcoin derivatives market has risen to the historical 99th percentile, which is typically seen as a "contrarian buy signal" under extreme risk-averse market sentiment, and he judges that the market is currently suitable for establishing long positions.The VanEck Digital Transformation ETF (NODE), which Matthew Sigel also manages, has risen 27% since its inception, while Bitcoin has fallen 33% during the same period, achieving lower volatility performance through diversified allocation and focusing on profitable sectors. However, he also warns that if the massive capital expenditures in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector do not generate corresponding returns, it could pose substantial pressure on the market, especially in the context of a concentration in S&P 500 constituents.Note: Percentile is a statistical position concept, with the 99th percentile representing a relatively extreme level, and the 50th percentile representing the median level.
