Former CFTC Commissioner: The Wall Street Journal's editorial on August 4 fundamentally misinterprets the Clarity Act

According to CoinDesk, Summer Mersinger, CEO of the Blockchain Association and former commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), published an article responding to the Wall Street Journal's editorial on August 4, accusing it of a fundamental misreading of the Clarity Act.Mersinger stated that the bill explicitly prohibits stablecoin rewards that are equivalent to bank deposit interest but allows for rewards similar to credit card points and user behavior-based incentive mechanisms. From the perspective of DeFi regulation, Section 10301 of the bill requires the SEC to establish regulatory rules for protocols that are "nominally decentralized and substantially controllable," which does not equate to regulatory exemption; Section 10201 includes digital commodity brokers under all reporting obligations of the Bank Secrecy Act and allocates $3 billion for state-level enforcement, contrary to the Wall Street Journal's accusations of insufficient regulation of illegal finance.Addressing concerns about the "shadow market" for tokenized securities, Mersinger emphasized that Section 10505 of the bill clearly states that securities remain subject to SEC oversight even after settlement on the blockchain. She believes that the Wall Street Journal is essentially defending the monopoly position of traditional financial institutions, which conflicts with the free market principles that the paper has consistently advocated.

Kaito launched the Katalyst reward layer, introducing a pay-for-performance mechanism for creator activities

According to official news, Kaito announced the launch of Kaito Katalyst, a new reward layer aimed at creator activities, where project parties can pay based on the actual results brought by creators. This mechanism is based on Kaito's latest intelligence infrastructure and supports the distribution of rewards through various flexible criteria such as mind share, clicks, registrations, deposits, and platform activities. The underlying support comes from Kaito's data protocol with X, Brevis_zk's verification architecture, and its self-built attribution infrastructure.In the past two months, Kaito has conducted pilot tests in multiple companies across AI laboratories, consumer-grade AI applications, smart hardware companies, as well as in the cryptocurrency and financial sectors, with some projects set to launch soon. For TGE projects, Kaito has also introduced a dedicated format with no service fees: project parties must provide both a refundable deposit and a reward pool to ensure that creators are aware that funds are in place before the release. Each activity will announce the token distribution pool and attribution terms in advance, allowing creators to clearly understand the content and timing of their earnings.Under this mechanism, 80% of the token pool is allocated to creators who deliver actual results, while the remaining 20% is distributed to KAITO stakers and holders of YT-sKAITO on Pendle. Long-term holders and Yapybara holders can receive additional multiplier rewards. Kaito stated that this structure continues the Stakedrop mechanism that has been in operation since 2025, bringing approximately 136% annualized returns to the entire Kaito ecosystem. This model is also applicable to tokenized equity projects willing to use tokens or equity to accelerate growth.
