Regulatory Policies
US Bipartisan Senators Propose to Clarify Legal Responsibilities of Crypto Developers
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Senators Cynthia Lummis and Ron Wyden have reintroduced a bipartisan bill aimed at clarifying the specific circumstances under which crypto developers and infrastructure providers are considered money transmitters under federal law. The bill, known as the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, aims to distinguish developers who write or maintain blockchain software from financial intermediaries that control customer funds. According to the bill, developers and infrastructure providers will be excluded from the federal legal definition of money transmitters as long as they do not have the legal right or unilateral ability to move users' digital assets. Cynthia Lummis stated that developers who only write code and maintain open-source infrastructure should not be classified as money transmitters without having touched, controlled, or accessed user funds. Ron Wyden stated that requiring developers who write code to follow the same rules as exchanges or brokers is technically unfeasible and could infringe on privacy and free speech.
US Federal Judge Temporarily Halts Tennessee's Ban on Kalshi
Odaily Planet Daily reports that a U.S. federal judge has temporarily halted Tennessee's order requiring the prediction market operator Kalshi to shut down its sports event contracts in the state, freezing a cease-and-desist notice. The court will review whether the platform regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should be exempt from state gambling laws. According to an order signed on Monday, the ruling suspends enforcement actions by the Tennessee Sports Betting Council and the state attorney general. Previously, regulators ordered Kalshi, Polymarket, and Crypto.com to stop offering sports-related contracts to Tennessee residents and to void any open contracts and refund customer deposits by January 31. Tennessee officials initially warned that non-compliance could result in fines of up to $25,000 per violation and possible referral to law enforcement. Kalshi argued that the dispute is a jurisdictional conflict between state gambling enforcement and federal commodity law. The company stated in its federal complaint that Tennessee's actions infringe on the CFTC's "exclusive jurisdiction" over designated exchange derivatives trading and argued that the enforcement actions threatened by the state have been preempted by the Commodity Exchange Act.

Yi Lihua: The Crypto Super Cycle is Coming, Currently in the Dawn Before a Major Bull Market
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Yi Lihua stated that China, the U.S., and South Korea are the three major markets in the crypto industry, and currently, the stock markets in these three countries are all in a bull market phase. Large funds are mainly concentrated in the stock market or precious metals. Due to the impact of the interest rate hike cycle and the blockchain technology's real-world impact being less than expected, since BTC reached $69,000 in 2021, ETH has performed far below its four-year high, with only BTC seeing a slight increase. With the upcoming interest rate cut cycle, the globalization of stablecoins, crypto-friendly policies, and financial applications on the blockchain, we are currently in the dawn before a major crypto bull market. He agrees with CZ's view that the crypto super cycle is approaching and points out that industry leaders such as BMNR, Strategy, Tether, Binance, and USD1 are continuously buying.
