According to DL News, Tim Scott, the chairman of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, stated at the Washington Blockchain Summit that the "Digital Asset Market Structure Act" (CLARITY Act) has made significant progress, and the first new draft will be submitted for review this week.The bill aims to establish a regulatory framework for the U.S. cryptocurrency market and was passed with bipartisan support in the House of Representatives last July, but has since stalled in the Senate. The main points of contention include: the issue of stablecoin yield authority (with the banking industry pressuring to prohibit cryptocurrency exchanges from paying users interest on stablecoins), ethical provisions regarding officials holding or founding cryptocurrency businesses, anti-money laundering mechanisms for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and the bipartisan representation issue in financial regulatory agencies. Currently, Trump has publicly sided with the cryptocurrency industry, supporting the allowance of stablecoin yields. Congressman Dusty Johnson warned that the time window is narrowing. If the midterm elections in November result in the Democratic Party regaining control of Congress, the bill is likely to be shelved. He called for 3 to 4 Democratic senators on the relevant Senate committee to break the internal party resistance, while also urging the cryptocurrency industry not to raise demands arbitrarily during negotiations to avoid further delaying the overall process.

According to Decrypt, the UK Parliament's Joint National Security Strategy Committee has called for an immediate ban on political parties accepting cryptocurrency donations, stating that it poses "an unnecessary and unacceptable high risk" to the political finance system. The committee recommends writing a binding ban into the Representation of the People Act until stronger safeguards are established.The report also calls for the establishment of a new political finance enforcement department within the National Crime Agency and for strengthening rules regarding overseas donors. Currently, Reform UK is the only major party accepting crypto donations, having received £12 million in donations from investors associated with Tether last year, prompting requests for an investigation.Cybersecurity experts warn that a KYC-based ban could force political parties to centrally store personal data, creating a "huge honeypot" for opponents and inadvertently introducing new crypto vulnerabilities. The committee acknowledges that crypto tools can obscure the source of funds but believes that current regulation is insufficient and the opportunities to evade rules are too high.

According to market news, the Australian Senate Economic Legislation Committee has released a report supporting the legislative proposal to include cryptocurrency platforms and custodial services in the country's financial services system.The bill will amend the Corporations Act and the ASIC Act to establish a licensing and compliance regime for businesses that hold or manage digital tokens on behalf of clients.

If passed, it will provide a six-month transition period for providers that do not yet hold an AFSL.
