According to Semafor, the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) will launch an interactive tool on Tuesday that allows users to set parameters and run scenarios to support its previous conclusion that "there is no substantial correlation between the growth of stablecoins and the loss of deposits at community banks."This move aims to garner support from Senate Republicans to advance the CLARITY Act and respond to banking groups, which stated on Monday that the latest modifications to the bill are still insufficient to alleviate their concerns about the stablecoin provisions. Several Republican senators hinted at the possibility of voting against it, while pro-crypto Democrats expressed dissatisfaction that the ethical provisions do not sufficiently constrain Trump. The bill requires at least 60 votes to advance.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessenet stated on social media: The CLARITY Act is crucial for ensuring that the United States wins the global new technology race. This is also the reason Congress passed the GENIUS Act, aimed at ensuring the construction of revolutionary financial technology infrastructure for stablecoins in the United States.Bessenet noted that ensuring the continued prosperity of the U.S. community banking sector has been a consistent focus since he took office. The government's dual emphasis on promoting the development of new digital technologies and appropriately adjusting community bank regulations is key to driving U.S. economic growth in both sectors. The final draft of the CLARITY Act advances this mission by granting the Treasury Secretary additional powers to take action when changes in the facts of deposit outflows adversely affect community banks.Bessenet stated: If stablecoins harm community banks, he will not hesitate to use these tools to ensure they are fully protected. Community banks are vital to the performance of the U.S. economy and Main Street growth; economic security is national security, and community banks play an important role in this principle.

According to Fox Business, the Trump administration is collaborating with OpenAI to use artificial intelligence tools.

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) warns that changes to the Gas model in the Glamsterdam upgrade may cause some wallets, indexers, and Gas estimation tools to become ineffective. The EF Protocol DevOps team stated that tools relying on hard-coded maximum Gas limits will fail, and developers need to update relevant systems and test on the Plataberget public testnet.Plataberget went live on August 13 and is planned to run for several months. The Glamsterdam fork is scheduled to activate on the Ethereum network on Thursday, followed by deployment to the Sepolia and Hoodi testnets. EIP-8037 will introduce an independent state Gas dimension for operations that create new states. Transferring ETH to existing accounts will still require 21,000 Gas, while transferring to new accounts will incur additional state Gas; developers should also re-evaluate software that considers 21,000 Gas as the total cost for all ETH transfers or only uses a single Gas dimension to estimate transaction fees.

Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine, stated in an interview that in the era of artificial intelligence, the vision and judgment of company founders are more important than ever. What truly drives company development is not asking questions to AI, but the ability to create a future direction.The existence of OpenAI is inseparable from Sam Altman's vision; the development of Anthropic and AI-related companies under Elon Musk is similarly dependent on this. The core value of these founders lies in proposing long-term strategies and directions, rather than simply asking their AI models what to do next.Tom Lee also categorizes Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev in the same group, believing that he is leading a company in a rapidly growing market, a market that is growing even faster than the overall economy. Vlad Tenev is also one of the important reasons he is optimistic about Robinhood stock.Tom Lee believes that in the AI era, while technology itself may gradually become widespread, the ability of founders to define market direction and drive organizational execution will still become a long-term competitive advantage for companies.

Strategy founder Michael Saylor stated that Bitcoin has fallen 47% over the past year, while Strategy's digital credit tools have performed between a decline of 27% to an increase of 9% during the same period, with STRC increasing by 9%.Saylor mentioned that financial engineering can transform the highly volatile "digital capital" into financial instruments designed to provide returns, enhance stability, and reduce downside risk.

According to Jinshi reports, Webull has launched ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok connectors, as well as a command line interface and enhanced MCP to expand its AI-driven investment tools.

According to Jinshi, U.S. Treasury Secretary Basant stated that it is reasonable for the Federal Reserve to consider expanding the repurchase tool for foreign and international monetary authorities.He pointed out that this tool is no different from foreign exchange swap limits.

According to Bloomberg, citing informed sources, Chinese officials are concerned that cutting-edge AI models from the U.S., such as Anthropic's Mythos, could be used as offensive cyber tools to launch cyberattacks against China. At the same time, the Chinese side questions why Anthropic does not allow Chinese companies to use the relevant models normally, yet cannot rule out the possibility of these capabilities being used to attack China. Anthropic has long advocated for the U.S. to tighten restrictions on advanced chips and AI capabilities related to China, and last year it stopped providing services to companies controlled by China.The report states that the Chinese side is currently not prepared to take immediate action, but if the U.S. further restricts Chinese AI companies, relevant departments are studying response plans, which may include imposing sanctions on U.S. AI companies or placing them on a restricted list. Currently, neither Anthropic nor relevant departments have publicly responded to this.

According to Jinshi reports, Evercore ISI stated that the long-term use of the Federal Reserve's foreign and international monetary authorities repurchase tool may prompt the market to test the determination of the United States and Japan to maintain the yen exchange rate. This tool allows overseas institutions to obtain dollars using U.S. Treasury bonds they hold as collateral, with a daily limit of $60 billion for each counterparty.Evercore strategists pointed out that this limit is only slightly higher than the scale Japan used for currency market intervention last Thursday, emphasizing that the tool is designed for short-term liquidity support rather than a lasting source of financing.

According to Jinshi, the Japanese Ministry of Finance stated on the social media platform X that Japan's monetary authorities have multiple tools to meet market liquidity needs, including the discretionary use of the Federal Reserve's "Foreign and International Monetary Authorities (FIMA)" standing repo facility, which accepts U.S. Treasury securities as collateral to provide temporary U.S. dollar liquidity. The Ministry of Finance stated, "We are always ready to utilize available tools when necessary to support the orderly functioning of the market."
