The Liberal Democratic Party's Blockchain Promotion Parliamentary Alliance in Japan submitted a policy proposal to Finance Minister Katsuyuki Kitayama, calling for the clear inclusion of blockchain and Web3 in the national strategy. The proposal covers multiple areas including tax reform, cryptocurrency ETFs, leveraged trading regulation, responses to unregistered operators, cryptocurrency strategy, and trade logistics. Among them, the proposal suggests further research on the choice mechanism for "declaration separation taxation" and "withholding separation taxation" for crypto assets, and explores the tax treatment methods for exchanges and inheritance of crypto assets.In terms of derivatives regulation, the proposal believes that the current 2x leverage limit for individual cryptocurrency trading is too low and suggests gradually increasing the leverage level in conjunction with margin management systems. At the same time, the proposal also calls for a clear positioning of the cryptocurrency ETF system and strengthening law enforcement cooperation with overseas regulatory agencies. Katsuyuki Kitayama stated that he will actively promote the construction of related systems, including facilitating the implementation of cryptocurrency ETFs and researching a new tax system to be implemented in January 2028.

According to Digital Asset, Jeong Tae-ho, a Democratic Party official from the National Assembly's Finance and Economy Planning Committee in South Korea, stated that the taxation of digital assets "has already been postponed and should be implemented as planned," and mentioned that internal party discussions will begin once the tax reform proposal is submitted to the committee.This statement marks a significant shift from his more reserved stance a month ago. The South Korean government has also officially confirmed that it will impose taxes on the transfer and rental income of digital assets starting January 1, 2027. Several hardline lawmakers within the Democratic Party have recently voiced their support for advancing the timeline as scheduled.

The CLARITY Act has been reviewed by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee today and will next enter the full Senate voting stage.According to Mars Finance, the market is optimistic about the completion of the legislation this year, with the success probability predicted by the market Polymarket exceeding 70%. However, the bill must first pass the critical procedural threshold of the "motion to end debate," which requires at least 60 votes in favor from the 100 senators; otherwise, it may face indefinite delays.Reports indicate that two Democratic senators have explicitly crossed party lines to support the bill, and all 51 Republican senators are expected to vote in favor. Therefore, at least 7 Democratic senators' support is still needed to advance the bill to the final voting stage.In addition, the CLARITY Act will need to be integrated with the version from the Senate Agriculture Committee. The Banking Committee version mainly involves the SEC regulatory framework, securities classification, trading platform registration, and DeFi protection; the Agriculture Committee version focuses on CFTC regulation, digital commodity spot and derivatives markets, among other areas. The final unified text will be submitted for Trump’s signature after being voted on by both houses.Previous news: The U.S. Senate Banking Committee passed the CLARITY Act with a vote result of 15:9.

Democratic Senator Jack Reed stated at the CLARITY bill hearing that Iran is using cryptocurrency to procure sensitive goods, and the drones they are acquiring are wreaking havoc in the Persian Gulf. Moreover, most of this funding has turned into stablecoins. If we truly support our military, we should cut off their (Iran's) funding sources.

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, sources say that a bipartisan group of minority senators in the U.S. Senate held discussions last night regarding the CLARITY Act, attempting to push the Democrats to make concessions on at least two outstanding issues, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement.Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that both sides had reached consensus on "99% of the content" of the bill and expressed hope that the Democrats would continue to address the remaining issues after the bill passes committee review; otherwise, if a similar incident to FTX occurs in the future, "they can only blame themselves."Reports indicate that Democratic Senators Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego have been pushing for a compromise on the ethical standards and conflict of interest clauses involving the president's family before the committee review, making it one of the conditions for supporting the bill.Additionally, some Democratic lawmakers have raised concerns about provisions related to the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA). This provision aims to prohibit lawsuits against non-custodial software developers based on money transfer laws.Sources say that both sides have made substantial progress on ethical and conflict of interest issues, but disagreements over amendments to the BRCA ultimately led to the breakdown of negotiations. The market currently widely expects that this committee review will show clear partisanship.

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, on the eve of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee's review of the "Clarity Act," committee members submitted over 100 amendments last night. The DeFi advocacy organization @fund_defi characterized some of these amendments as "anti-DeFi amendments," believing they would harm the rights of DeFi technology, users, and developers, and called on supporters to urgently lobby senators to oppose them.It is reported that the aforementioned amendments were jointly proposed by Democratic senators Cortez Masto, Andy Kim, Chris Van Hollen, Warren, and Jack Reed, targeting the core DeFi protection provisions in the bill, including the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), non-controlling software developer protections, DeFi front-end protections, tokenization provisions, and proposed expansions of BSA/AML compliance obligations for developers and digital asset businesses.

According to a post by Galaxy Digital on Sunday, seven Democratic senators on the Senate Banking Committee may be the key force behind the passage of the Digital Asset Market Clarification Act (CLARITY Act), which is scheduled for committee review on Thursday.Galaxy identified Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks as constructive/supportive; Mark Warner, Catherine Cortez Masto, Andy Kim, and Raphael Warnock were listed as conditional facilitators, having voted in favor of the GENIUS Act but calling for strengthened safeguards such as anti-money laundering measures; Lisa Blunt Rochester was marked as having an uncertain stance, having supported the crypto framework but voting against the GENIUS Act.Galaxy stated that if Democrats vote in support during the review, the likelihood of the bill passing in the full Senate would significantly increase. The bill needs the support of at least half of the 24 members of the Banking Committee to proceed to a full Senate vote. Coinbase's Vice President of U.S. Policy, Kara Calvert, pointed out that the bill requires at least 60 votes and bipartisan support to become law in the Senate. The CLARITY Act was proposed in July 2025 and was stalled earlier this year when Coinbase withdrew its support.

The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan today established the "Next Generation AI and On-Chain Finance Vision Project Group," founded by former Digital Minister Hirai Masaki, with former Ministry of Finance official and current chairman of the LDP Blockchain Promotion Parliamentary Alliance Kihara Seiji serving as director. The group is dedicated to formulating a national-level AI-driven on-chain finance framework, marking the formal inclusion of blockchain finance into the structural economic agenda of Japanese politics.Hirai Masaki stated in an interview that the integration of AI and blockchain will first impact the financial industry within a few years, saying, "This is not something that will happen in 5 to 10 years." He pointed out that while Japan already has infrastructure such as the JPYC stablecoin, the joint stablecoin projects of Mitsubishi UFJ, Sumitomo Mitsui, and Mizuho banks, as well as tokenized deposits from Japan Post Bank, there is a lack of a unified blueprint among these components.The project's recent goal is to publish a white paper covering regulatory reform proposals such as trust law, deposit insurance, and KYC frameworks, and to incorporate these into the LDP's growth strategy and the government's annual fiscal policy guidelines, while also pressuring the Financial Services Agency and the Ministry of Finance to accelerate action from regulatory bodies.

Senators Chris Van Hollen, Elizabeth Warren, and Ruben Gallego said in a joint statement that they will conduct oversight to ensure the Justice Department investigates Binance and holds it accountable for any wrongdoing.The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter, that the Justice Department is investigating whether Iran may have used Binance to evade sanctions. The senators stated that Binance has a documented history of prioritizing profits over the law, raising serious concerns about the company potentially violating U.S. sanctions laws again and funding activities related to terrorist organizations linked to Iran. Binance previously responded that it was unaware of any investigation but has been cooperating with regulatory and law enforcement agencies to investigate the facts. Binance has filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against a February article by The Wall Street Journal, claiming it constitutes defamation.
