July 14
Odaily Planet Daily reported that the Republican Party in the U.S. House of Representatives announced that the week of July 14 will be designated as Cryptocurrency Week, focusing on reviewing three key crypto legislation, including the GENIUS Stablecoin Act passed by the Senate, the market structure bill Clarity, and proposals against central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This move is aimed at promoting the Trump administrations digital asset agenda and strive to complete legislative delivery by August. The GENIUS Act requires that stablecoins be fully backed by liquid assets such as the U.S. dollar, and stipulates that issuers with a market value of more than $50 billion must undergo annual audits. This agenda is seen as an important node for the comprehensive clarity of U.S. crypto policy. (The Block)
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm will go to trial on July 14. The U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York said on Thursday that it would not advance some charges related to unlicensed money transmission business, but would still file lawsuits for money laundering, partial unlicensed transmission and conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The DeFi Education Fund said: Although this is consistent with the April 2025 Department of Justice memorandum, which called for an end to prosecution instead of regulation and a halt to prosecutions for registration violations, this does not completely correct the Department of Justices mistakes in this case. Coin Center Executive Director Peter Van Valkenburgh also expressed disappointment: This criminal law provision is ambiguous with the Bank Secrecy Act, and the principle of lenient interpretation should be invoked to rule in favor of the defendant.
