Headlines
Trump: US Federal Government Likely to Shut Down in September
On July 22, local time, US President Trump stated during a speech in Georgia that a federal government shutdown is likely in September due to disagreements between Republicans and Democrats over spending priorities. On July 21, local time, the Republican-controlled US House of Representatives passed a short-term funding bill to provide funding for federal agencies through December 4, avoiding a shutdown before the November midterm elections. This temporary funding measure is also known as a "continuing resolution." The bill will now be submitted to the Senate for review. Currently, Senate Republican leaders are negotiating with Democrats and considering proposing their own short-term funding plan. If Congress fails to pass a funding bill in time, funding for most federal agencies and programs will expire at midnight on September 30, the end of the current fiscal year.

US Republicans to Update Crypto Industry on CLARITY Act Text Progress
According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, citing an industry source invited to a conference call, crypto industry stakeholders are set to hold a conference call with Republican leadership later this morning local time to receive updates on the latest text of the CLARITY Act.
The UK plans to issue its first tokenized sovereign bond by early 2027. A key prerequisite is resolving on-chain cash settlement, a challenge that has long limited institutional use of digital bonds.
Industry experts suggest the plan likely has sufficient backing from the UK Treasury, the Bank of England, and regulators to proceed despite recent political changes, potentially boosting UK debt demand.
Progress is currently constrained by the lack of a standardized on-chain payment method, a mature GBP stablecoin, and regulatory clarity.

People & Voices
Grayscale Research Head: Bitcoin Price May Have Bottomed if Fed Halts Rate Hikes
Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, stated that the market currently holds two main views on when the Bitcoin bear market will end: one follows the "four-year cycle," and the other views Bitcoin as a mature asset driven by macroeconomic factors. The "four-year cycle" view suggests that the halving event remains the core driver of Bitcoin's price cycles. Historically, Bitcoin has typically bottomed about one year after the cycle peak and about 2.5 years after the halving, with an average cumulative drawdown of approximately 80%. Following this pattern, Bitcoin could still fall further and form a bottom in September or October. The alternative view posits that Bitcoin's price will increasingly be influenced by economic growth, real interest rates, and Fed policy changes, much like other major assets. Past Bitcoin bear markets have often coincided with slowing economic growth or rising real interest rates. The current decline also occurred against a backdrop of rising rate hike expectations and increasing real rates. Pandl stated he leans towards the macro-driven view. If the Fed halts rate hikes and economic growth remains stable, the Bitcoin price may have already bottomed.
Recently, news regarding "Huang Xiaoming investing in ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT)" sparked widespread discussion. Online rumors claimed Huang Xiaoming made returns of approximately tens of billions of RMB from this investment.
Based on available information, the "Huang Xiaoming" holding equity in CXMT is not the same person as the actor Huang Xiaoming.
According to Sanyan Community news, microblogger @万能的大熊 (Wanneng de Daxiong) verified this directly with actor Huang Xiaoming himself, who explicitly stated it was not his investment. Furthermore, the actual Huang Xiaoming holding CXMT shares is likely an executive at Midea Group. This individual indirectly holds approximately 3.17% of CXMT through Zhaoyin Yunting, the ninth-largest shareholder (holding 1.58%). After CXMT's IPO, the value of these shares is estimated to be around 1 billion RMB.
Investor Perspective: If CLARITY Passes, Lighter, as a US Company, Would Be the Biggest Beneficiary
Eric Conner, former Ethereum core developer and angel investor, posted on X stating that if the CLARITY Act ultimately passes, Lighter could be the biggest winner. Most other projects are built overseas, but Lighter chose to register in the US, is currently applying for a license from the CFTC, and its founder has even joined the CFTC's advisory committee. This bill essentially directly unlocks their entire strategic logic.
