According to CoinDesk, the Clarity Act, aimed at establishing a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrency in the United States, has been declared a failure after months of intense negotiations. The bill was originally intended to address the definition of digital assets at the federal level, but it failed to reach the final voting process due to fierce interest group conflicts.Multiple sources indicate that the core reason for the legislative collapse lies in complex jurisdictional conflicts and disputes over terms. The CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) and SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) are in disagreement over the management rights of certain digital assets, while lawmakers also struggle to reach a consensus on how to define the legal attributes of NFTs, DeFi protocols, and stablecoins. Despite calls from organizations to eliminate market uncertainty through legislation, a key compromise proposal ultimately could not be reached.The Fintech Association and other industry organizations had previously lobbied actively in support of the bill, hoping to establish clear industry standards. With the failure of this legislation, traditional financial institutions on Wall Street and cryptocurrency projects will continue to face legal gray areas, and the industry's compliance process will thus be forced to delay.

According to Decrypt, CrowdStrike and the U.S. Department of Justice announced on Tuesday that they have dismantled the Sality peer-to-peer botnet, which has been active since 2003.This botnet primarily hijacked cryptocurrency payments through the EggJagger malware over the past eight years, which monitored the cryptocurrency wallet addresses in victims' clipboards and replaced them with the operator's own address, causing victims to send funds to strangers.CrowdStrike estimates that the operator has stolen at least 12.1 million rubles (approximately $150,000) solely through the EggJagger payload. Most of the stolen cryptocurrency has not been spent, and CrowdStrike assesses that these unspent assets were worth about 147 million rubles (nominally around $1.35 million) at their peak in January 2025. The reason Sality has survived to this day is that it does not have a central server that can be seized; infected machines communicate directly with each other.This multinational operation involved the United States, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania. The U.S. Department of Justice, FBI, and Defense Criminal Investigative Service seized Sality-related domains within the United States, and police from multiple European countries also seized other domains.CrowdStrike isolated more than 15,000 infected machines to its controlled honeypot by exploiting its architectural vulnerabilities. The operator has been tracked as SALTY SPIDER, which launched a denial-of-service attack against the Russian cryptocurrency exchange AvanChange in September 2023.

According to BeInCrypto, Sean Farrell, the head of digital asset strategy at Fundstrat Global Advisors, released a research report indicating that Bitcoin's current 30-day price volatility has dropped to historically low levels. Reviewing the past eight similar low-volatility periods, the median absolute price change of Bitcoin over the subsequent 60 days has reached about 30.2%, with four instances of increases and four instances of decreases.Based on the current price of approximately $64,000, a 30% upward volatility would target a price of about $83,200; if it goes downward, it would be around $44,800. Farrell also pointed out that Bitcoin's approximately 2% rebound this Monday was mainly driven by short covering, and the future direction remains unclear, while the continuous rise in real bond yields poses the greatest downside risk at present.

Supported by the uncertainty of the reopening prospects of the Strait of Hormuz and the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, both WTI and Brent crude oil prices continued to rise in the U.S. trading session. Iran reiterated several conditions before agreeing to fully reopen the strait. According to Al Jazeera, the conditions proposed by the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Zolghadr, include: ending the U.S. maritime blockade and the withdrawal of the U.S. Navy and Air Force from around Iran.Tehran also demanded compensation for damages caused by recent conflicts, the lifting of sanctions, and the unconditional unfreezing of Iranian assets. These demands currently reduce the likelihood of a swift return to normal shipping and help maintain the risk premium in WTI prices. Meanwhile, negotiations with Oman to establish a secure shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz seem to be making progress.However, due to the failure to reach an agreement on full reopening, investors remain cautious about the risks of long-term disruptions to oil supply. Regional tensions are not limited to the Strait of Hormuz. The Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen claimed responsibility for a drone attack on Saudi Aramco's refinery in Saudi Arabia. The latest attacks on major energy infrastructure have heightened market concerns about the security of regional oil supplies.

The decentralized oracle service provider RedStone has officially launched the settlement layer product RedStone Settle for decentralized finance, aimed at addressing the structural barriers faced when tokenized real-world assets (RWA) are used as collateral in lending protocols.The core mechanism of this product is on-chain auctions: when a lending protocol triggers a liquidation event, liquidity providers can immediately step in to purchase the relevant positions, providing instant liquidity to the protocol while assuming the risk of delayed redemption of the underlying assets. This move aims to bridge the mismatch between the nearly instant liquidation required by DeFi platforms (such as Aave) and the typical redemption periods of 60 to 180 days for RWAs (including tokenized funds and bonds).RedStone stated that this solution is expected to activate the currently idle tokenized RWAs in DeFi, which exceed $30 billion, and enable users to borrow more efficiently using interest-bearing positions. According to data from RWA.xyz, excluding stablecoins, the current market size of tokenized RWAs has surpassed $30 billion, primarily dominated by exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds and private credit products.
