Crypto Council for Innovation announced the acquisition of Digital Energy Council, marking its first expansion into the energy policy sector.Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) is a global industry advocacy organization, with members including several cryptocurrency and fintech companies, primarily promoting digital asset regulation, technological innovation, and policy communication, dedicated to building bridges between government and industry. Previously, the organization played an important role in U.S. policy lobbying. Digital Energy Council focuses on energy issues related to the digital economy, particularly the impact of cryptocurrency mining, data centers, and high-performance computing (HPC) on power systems, with core concerns about energy supply, grid stability, and national security. Following this integration, the energy sector will focus on promoting policy directions, including energy development, grid resilience, U.S. competitiveness, and critical infrastructure security.

JPMorgan analysts have stated that negotiations for the U.S. "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act" (i.e., the CLARITY Act) have entered the final stages, with both sides reaching compromises on a few remaining contentious points. The number of disputes has been reduced from over a dozen to 2-3 core issues, with discussions on stablecoin rewards being "in a good place." While banks express concerns about stablecoins offering similar yields to deposits, there is an overall bipartisan compromise trend. JPMorgan believes that "there is no perfect bill," and once passed, the bill will provide important regulatory clarity for the integration of digital assets into the U.S. financial system.The "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act" is currently in advanced negotiations in the U.S. Senate, with Senate staff stating that the draft is "very close" to resolution, but the final text has not yet been released, nor has a formal vote been scheduled. The remaining major disagreements focus on stablecoin rewards, DeFi regulation, and token classification issues. Although optimism is rising, there is still a risk of delays due to the 2026 midterm elections, which could lead to a more uncertain political environment. If the bill is ultimately passed, it will delineate the regulatory authority between the SEC and CFTC, providing a long-term regulatory framework for stablecoins, DeFi, and the entire cryptocurrency industry.

He stated that this rule-making is primarily based on the Securities Act of 1933 and will involve issues such as financing and exemptions for startups.After the Q&A session, he also indicated that the SEC plans to soon launch the long-awaited "innovation exemption."

Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer of the Solana Foundation, posted on the X platform stating that the Drift Protocol has confirmed it was attacked, with the specific source still under investigation. This incident is not caused by a program or smart contract vulnerability, but is more likely related to operational security or social engineering attacks.It should also be clarified that although this incident occurred on a project based on the Solana ecosystem, theoretically, any protocol relying on a multi-signature mechanism across various chains may face similar risks. Therefore, the Drift security incident is an isolated case and does not indicate a systemic issue with Solana DeFi or related products. Once the complete investigation is concluded, the industry may draw important lessons from it, and the Solana DeFi community will quickly recover and rebuild.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that he will personally invest in research on Bitcoin's resistance to quantum-related issues and emphasized that the industry needs to push for solutions as soon as possible.Coinbase Chief Security Officer Philip Martin previously pointed out that as research in quantum computing progresses, the industry needs to accelerate its response to potential threats.

If implemented hastily, it could introduce new security risks, and there needs to be a consensus on issues such as how to handle wallets that have not completed migration. In addition, Coinbase has initiated related infrastructure upgrades and research, and is promoting collaboration among developers and the community to advance quantum-resistant solutions.

According to market news, based on a court document from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Elon Musk is in settlement negotiations with the SEC regarding his acquisition of Twitter (now renamed X) stock.Reports indicate that SpaceX's bankers hope to resolve this matter before potentially launching the largest IPO in history. According to regulations, investors who purchase 5% or more of a public company's shares must disclose their ownership within 10 days of the purchase. However, Musk disclosed his holdings 21 days after reaching that threshold. He also submitted a "13G" form applicable to passive investors, rather than using the "13D" form intended for activist investors (including those intending to make a takeover bid). Musk's lawyers told the court earlier this month that, at least to some extent, these settlement negotiations were conducted without the involvement of the SEC enforcement attorneys responsible for the case.

Hester M. Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, stated that a research initiative for a "regulatory exemption" for tokenized securities has been launched, allowing limited trading and technical experimentation for certain tokenized securities. This exemption plan will be more cautious than the "comprehensive exemption" proposed by the industry.She believes it is worth exploring whether different types of tokenization models for securities can be tested under the innovation exemption framework and whether issuer consent is needed for third parties to issue tokenized versions of their stocks, in order to promote technological innovation while avoiding regulatory arbitrage and maintaining core investor protection mechanisms.Hester M. Peirce also emphasized that regulators should not overly interfere with private capital allocation. The SEC is currently assessing several key issues, including: whether the existing information disclosure system is sufficient to cover the ownership structure of tokenized securities, the disclosure obligations of brokers and clearing agencies in the issuance of tokenized securities, the compatibility of atomic settlement with the current T+1 settlement rules, and the applicability of regulatory authority in the absence of intermediaries or under new intermediary structures.

According to The New York Times, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated last July that the company's new artificial intelligence model would be launched in about a year. However, according to three insiders, Zuckerberg seems to be increasingly struggling to meet that deadline.Sources indicate that Meta's new generation "frontier" artificial intelligence model, developed over several months, has not performed at the level of leading AI models from competitors like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic in internal tests focused on reasoning, programming, and writing abilities.Two insiders revealed that the model, codenamed "Avocado," performs better than Meta's previous AI models, but its performance falls short of the "Gemini 3.0" model launched last November. As a result, Meta has postponed the release of the "Avocado" product from this month to at least May.

OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger criticized the GitHub security vulnerability reporting process for multiple issues. He pointed out that currently, vulnerability reports are only accessible to administrators, making it difficult for teams to effectively distribute and collaborate on handling them.In addition, GitHub's API functionality for vulnerability reporting is insufficient, as it cannot read or post comments through automated agents, which limits the automation capabilities of the security response process. Peter Steinberger also specifically noted that the current vulnerability reports are filled with a large amount of low-quality AI-generated content, requiring hours to sift through, further increasing the burden of security handling work.
