The U.S. Senate Banking Committee recently shifted its legislative focus to aligning with Donald Trump's housing affordability policies, slowing the progress of the planned cryptocurrency market structure bill. The bill is expected to be delayed by at least several weeks, with the window potentially shifting to late February or March. Against this backdrop, the Senate Agriculture Committee will proceed with its version of digital asset legislation as planned, with a vote expected on January 27. The relevant bill text will then need to be integrated with the Banking Committee's version and submitted to the full Senate for consideration. (Bloomberg)

During the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and French Central Bank Governor François Villeroy de Galhau engaged in a heated debate on issues such as whether stablecoins should pay yields to holders and the monetary attributes of Bitcoin. The roundtable discussion, originally themed "Does Tokenization Represent the Future?", shifted its focus to stablecoin yield mechanisms, Bitcoin's positioning, and the legislative progress of the US Senate's CLARITY Act on the Structure of Crypto Markets. Armstrong stated that allowing stablecoins to offer yields to users would help improve consumer returns and international competitiveness, and pointed out that if regulated stablecoins in the US were prohibited from paying yields, it might actually benefit offshore products. Villeroy de Galhau, however, held an opposing view, arguing that private stablecoins with yield attributes could pose a systemic risk to the traditional banking system and financial stability, and explicitly stated that the digital euro should not use yields as a competitive tool; its core objective is to maintain the stability of the financial system. On the issue of US legislation, Armstrong emphasized that the CLARITY Act is not stalled, but rather in a stage of negotiation and bargaining. He explained that Coinbase's recent withdrawal of support was due to its opposition to banks lobbying to restrict competition in the crypto industry. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse pointed out that the so-called "level playing field" should apply in both directions, with crypto companies and banks adhering to reciprocal regulatory standards. When the discussion turned to Bitcoin, Armstrong proposed the concept of a "Bitcoin standard," arguing that it could serve as a long-term alternative to combat fiat currency devaluation. Villeroy objected, emphasizing that monetary policy falls under national sovereignty and warning that private currencies could undermine sovereignty. Armstrong responded that Bitcoin does not have a single issuer, and its decentralization is even higher than that of the central bank system. Despite the significant differences, the participants generally agreed that future crypto innovation and regulation will need to find a path to coexistence through negotiation and compromise.

The Russian Constitutional Court recently ruled that crypto assets fall under the category of property protected by property rights, a ruling considered to have a profound impact on future civil and criminal disputes involving crypto assets. Ignat Likhunov, head of the Russian law firm Cartesius, stated that the ruling provides clear legal grounds for law enforcement agencies and courts in handling stolen or disputed digital assets, and establishes an important precedent. The ruling also clarifies that as long as crypto assets are legally acquired, their property rights should be protected even if they are not declared to tax authorities. This case stemmed from a civil lawsuit filed by Moscow resident Dmitry Timchenko. In 2023, Timchenko lent 1,000 USDT to someone, but the lender failed to return it as agreed. Previously, a lower court dismissed his claim on the grounds that "stablecoins are not within the scope of legislation applicable to digital financial assets." The Constitutional Court pointed out that failure to declare crypto assets does not automatically negate property rights; the relevant declaration obligation only applies to miners. This ruling comes as Russia is pushing forward with a new round of crypto regulatory legislation. Analysts believe that this ruling provides clearer legal protection for cryptocurrency holders before legislation is finalized. (DL News)

F/m Investments, an ETF issuer with approximately $18 billion in assets under management, has applied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for regulatory approval to tokenize its ETF shares and record them on a permissioned blockchain ledger. The product the company plans to tokenize is its 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill ETF (TBIL, Nasdaq: TBIL). F/m Investments stated that this is the first time an institution has explicitly applied to the SEC for an exemption regarding the tokenization of ETF shares of a registered investment company. The company stated that if approved, existing TBIL ETF shares will be represented on-chain on the permissioned ledger using the same CUSIP code, and will remain consistent with existing ETF shares in terms of rights, fees, voting rights, and economic terms, still subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940. The company also emphasized that the arrangement will retain board oversight, daily disclosure, and third-party custody and auditing mechanisms. F/m Investments CEO Alexander Morris stated that the tokenization trend of traditional financial instruments is inevitable. (The Block)
