After ongoing discussions on Section 604, the MCSA has shifted to a neutral stance on the Clarity Act.
According to an article published on the X platform by a Fox Business Odaily reporter, the Major County Sheriffs of America (MCSA) has shifted to a "neutral" stance on the Clarity Act after recent ongoing discussions surrounding Section 604, the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. In a letter to the Senate Banking Committee leadership, the MCSA stated that, based on its ongoing review of the bill, there remains an opportunity to further strengthen the legislation in a way that supports responsible innovation and addresses the practical needs of state and local enforcement.
Hinkal's privacy protocol has suspended affected smart contracts due to abnormal USDC transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.
Odaily Odaily reports that decentralized privacy protocol Hinkal Protocol has announced it has noticed unusual activity involving USDC on the Ethereum network within its system. Currently, this only affects the Ethereum blockchain; other chains are unaffected. As a precaution, affected smart contracts have been suspended, and a comprehensive investigation and analysis of related on-chain transactions and activities is underway. The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be released as information becomes available. Previously, it was reported that Hinkal suffered a loss of $800,000 due to a suspicious USDC transaction.
The window for the passage of the Clarity Act is narrowing: whether it can pass before Congress's summer recess remains uncertain.
According to Foresight News , citing CoinDesk, the CLARITY Act's original goal of being signed on July 4th has been missed, and the window for its passage before the midterm elections is rapidly closing. While most of the Senate's work can proceed behind the scenes during the summer recess, the House process is currently stalled. Negotiators remain optimistic about passing the bill by 2026, but key coordination needs to be completed before the Senate recess on August 7th. If the bill fails to pass before the midterm elections, and the Democrats gain control of Congress after the elections, they will likely demand significant changes to the bill.
The probability of the Clarity Act being signed into law in 2026 has risen to 52%.
According to data from Polymarket, as reported by Mars Finance on July 5th, the probability of the Clarity Act being signed into law in 2026 has risen to 52%, an increase of 12 percentage points from July 3rd. In related news, the Major County Sheriffs Association (MCSA) stated that it no longer opposes the Clarity Act after initially expressing concerns about how it would affect investigations into illicit finance. Analysts believe that the MCSA's change of stance reduces a key obstacle in the Clarity Act's progress, increasing its likelihood of reaching the Senate vote. However, opposition from the banking industry to stablecoin yield products and DeFi regulation remains a major uncertainty.
A Bitcoin address that had been dormant for nearly 15 years showed unusual activity, sparking a lawsuit in New York concerning the ownership of a "dormant Bitcoin".
According to BlockBeats, on July 6th, a Bitcoin address that had been dormant for nearly 15 years made its first transaction, transferring out 30 BTC, worth approximately $1.88 million at current prices. Galaxy Research's on-chain data shows that address "1KV47" had not made any transactions since receiving 30 BTC in August 2011, until last Saturday when it first transferred funds outwards. This address is one of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin addresses involved in a New York lawsuit. The plaintiff, "Noah Doe," and two Wyoming-registered companies are attempting to claim ownership of the Bitcoin in these long-inactive addresses under New York State lost property law. Sani, founder of the analytics platform Timechain Index, stated that these addresses collectively hold approximately 3.7 million BTC, worth about $234 billion, including addresses widely believed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. Alex Thorn, research director at Galaxy Digital, stated that dormant addresses associated with the lawsuit have seen a significant increase in activity recently. In June, 31 addresses transferred 17,527 BTC, compared to only 5 addresses transferring 4,834 BTC in February. However, the legal community generally considers the lawsuit's grounds weak. Last Friday, a defendant claiming to control one of the addresses, "John Doe 33," filed for dismissal, arguing that Bitcoin addresses are merely data strings and not entities that can be sued. Edwin Mata, CEO and lawyer at tokenization platform Brickken, stated that the mere fact that an address has been inactive for an extended period does not prove that assets have been abandoned. Under property law, establishing abandonment usually requires proof that the owner had a clear intention to relinquish their property rights. Dormant addresses may simply be due to long-term cold storage, lost private keys, or the holder choosing to hold the property long-term, thus insufficient to support the plaintiff's claims.
