According to the DeFi Education Fund, U.S. Representatives Scott Fitzgerald, Ben Cline, and Zoe Lofgren jointly proposed the "2026 Blockchain Development Innovation Act," aimed at clarifying the applicability of Section 1960 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code regarding "unlicensed money transmission businesses."The bill seeks to clarify that Section 1960 applies only to entities that control customer assets and conduct fund transfers on behalf of customers, and should not extend to blockchain software developers who do not hold user funds. The related proposal states that this move is consistent with the original legislative intent of Congress and the long-standing regulatory interpretation of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, aiming to reduce the risk of improper criminal charges faced by developers.

U.S. lawmakers have recently resumed discussions on the yield mechanisms of stablecoins, with some legislators expressing concerns that the yields offered by stablecoins could lead to a drain on bank deposits and blur the lines between crypto products and traditional bank deposits.During a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Senator Angela Alsobrooks stated that while she supports financial innovation, the yield mechanisms of stablecoins could create products similar to bank deposits but lack corresponding regulatory and protective measures, potentially leading to future deposit outflow risks. The issue of stablecoin yields has been one of the core topics in legislative negotiations within the crypto market. The stablecoin bill GENIUS, passed in 2025, has prohibited stablecoin issuers from directly paying interest to holders, but it has not banned third-party platforms like Coinbase from offering rewards to users for holding coins.Banking professionals believe that allowing stablecoins to offer yields would undermine the deposit base of the traditional banking system. A previous study by the Independent Community Bankers of America indicated that if stablecoin yield mechanisms were fully opened, bank deposits could decrease by approximately $1.3 trillion, leading to a reduction of about $850 billion in community bank loans. The crypto industry, however, argues that restricting stablecoin yields would stifle innovation. Some industry insiders have stated that there is currently no evidence to suggest a significant correlation between the proliferation of stablecoins and the outflow of bank deposits.Senator Thom Tillis has indicated that he will request regulators to conduct an independent assessment of the risks of deposit outflow that stablecoins may trigger. Meanwhile, the White House has recently organized multiple rounds of meetings between banks and crypto companies, hoping to reach a solution on the issue of stablecoin yields by the end of this month.

According to Eleanor Terrett, U.S. Republican lawmakers Fitzgerald (Wisconsin), Cline (Virginia), and Democratic lawmaker Lofgren (California) jointly proposed the "Blockchain Innovation Development Act," aimed at clarifying the applicability of Section 1960 of the Criminal Code.The bill explicitly states that Section 1960 applies only to entities that control customer funds, rather than developers who merely write code. Previously, in cases like TornadoCash and SamouraiWallet, regulators had applied this provision to non-custodial software developers, leading to a strong backlash from the crypto industry. This bill will provide legal protection for blockchain developers and address the long-standing conflict between crypto innovation and regulation.

According to a post by The Block reporter Sarah Wynn, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee's hearing on banking regulators has just begun.Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman stated in her prepared testimony that the central bank is committed to implementing the stablecoin legislation GENIUS and plans to "provide clarity on how digital assets are handled to ensure that the banking system can effectively support digital asset activities."Bowman said, "As regulators, my responsibility is to encourage innovation in a responsible manner, and we must continuously enhance our ability to supervise the risks that innovation may pose to safety and soundness."

Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake announced that the Ethereum Foundation has launched the "strawmap" roadmap, planning seven forks by the end of 2029.The roadmap includes five objectives: fast L1 finality, a "gigagas" L1 achieving 10k TPS through zkEVM, a "teragas" L2 enabled by data availability sampling, post-quantum cryptography, and native L1 privacy for shielding ETH transfers.

According to CoinDesk, in response to declining return expectations for traditional assets, several university endowments are adjusting their investment strategies and starting to allocate to cryptocurrency ETFs. Harvard University and Brown University have disclosed positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in their latest 13F filings.Kim Lew, CEO of Columbia Investment Management Company, stated that the expected returns on traditional asset classes and Alpha returns will be compressed, forcing institutions to move further along the risk curve and explore new strategies. Carlos Rangel from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation pointed out that if an 8% return cannot be achieved, the traditional foundation model will be difficult to sustain.

According to CNBC, dozens of Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Yellen on Thursday, requesting an investigation into potential conflicts of interest and national security issues related to the Trump family's cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial. The letter was led by New York Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks and was co-signed by 40 other lawmakers.Meeks referred to Yellen as Trump's "follower" during a hearing and questioned the $500 million investment by members of the UAE royal family in World Liberty Financial last year. In a statement released with the letter, Meeks said, "The $500 million transaction involving the Trump family and the UAE royal family not only concerns national financial stability but also involves serious national security implications." At the time of the request for an investigation, World Liberty Financial was applying for a national bank charter. This charter is reviewed and issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, an independent agency under the U.S. Treasury responsible for regulating the banking industry.

At a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee, several Democratic lawmakers questioned SEC Chairman Paul Atkins regarding the recent reduction in enforcement actions against the cryptocurrency industry by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), expressing concerns about whether these decisions are linked to Trump and his connections to the crypto industry.Lawmakers specifically mentioned the SEC's suspension of the case against Tron founder Justin Sun and the withdrawal of the lawsuit against Binance. Democratic Congressman Stephen Lynch stated during the hearing that the decline in SEC enforcement has impacted the agency's reputation and demanded an explanation for why the related cases were not pursued further. The SEC had previously sued Justin Sun in 2023 for allegedly issuing unregistered securities and manipulating trading volumes, but later in 2025, it applied to pause the case to explore settlement possibilities; in May of the same year, the SEC withdrew its lawsuit against Binance under Atkins's leadership.Data shows that in 2025, the SEC's overall enforcement actions decreased by about 30% compared to the previous year, with crypto-related cases dropping by approximately 60%, which is viewed by outsiders as a signal of a shift in regulatory focus. In response, Atkins stated that the SEC still maintains a "strong enforcement presence" and noted that some changes are part of the normal adjustments following a change in regulatory leadership.

On Wednesday, South Korean lawmakers questioned Bithumb CEO Lee Jae-won about a $4 billion Bitcoin transfer error caused by human error. The incident occurred during a promotional event last week, where an employee mistakenly processed customer payments in Bitcoin instead of Korean won, resulting in the creation of false Bitcoins in the market. Democratic Party lawmaker Min Byeong-deok stated that Bithumb gifted Bitcoins that the company did not own, which constitutes naked short selling.Currently, the Financial Supervisory Service has launched an investigation into the compliance systems and risk management of the country's second-largest digital asset platform. Financial Services Commission Vice Chairman Kwon Dae-young stated that the government believes this incident has exposed risks related to virtual assets and vulnerabilities in internal control systems, and will seek institutional reforms through an emergency response team, including inspections of all exchanges.
