Even when my former investment bank was doing very well, I always felt that another round of layoffs was just around the corner—I think part of the reason was that management simply didn't know how many people they actually needed.

Kristin Smith, a veteran Washington-based crypto policy expert and president of the Solana Policy Institute, stated that the CLARITY Act, legislation targeting crypto assets and services, could pass Congress before July. In the latest episode of Fortune Crypto Playbook, Smith pointed out that despite Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong withdrawing his support in January, causing industry concerns, the active involvement of several key senators and the White House team makes the bill still likely to move forward. Smith revealed that the legislative team is pushing the Senate Banking Committee to complete its review in March or April so that the bill can be submitted to the full Senate for a vote before the July recess. She emphasized that traditional financial institutions and crypto companies are actively participating in negotiations for the first time, and President Trump is also pressuring banks through social media, increasing the likelihood of the bill's passage. If it proceeds smoothly, the CLARITY Act will provide clear rules for the integration of crypto assets into the mainstream financial system, marking a new phase in crypto industry regulation.

An Iraqi Kurdish official has stated that there is no evidence of the United States arming Kurdish forces to launch attacks against Iran. According to Jin10, the official clarified that there have been no observations or indications of such activities. This statement comes amid ongoing regional tensions and speculation about foreign involvement in local conflicts. The official's remarks aim to dispel rumors and provide clarity on the situation, emphasizing the absence of U.S. military support for Kurdish operations against Iran.

A crypto executive has countered claims by the president of a community banking association, arguing that any compromise between the banking sector and the crypto industry on the US CLARITY Act would be detrimental. According to Cointelegraph, Austin Campbell, founder of Zero Knowledge Consulting, emphasized the importance of collaboration between community banks and the crypto industry. He stated that if these two sectors cannot find a way to work together, the beneficiaries will not be community banks, consumers, or the crypto industry, but rather the major banks. Campbell highlighted the technological and regulatory challenges faced by community banks, which he believes can be addressed through stablecoins. He argued that stablecoin-yield providers and community banks are not adversaries but allies. Campbell accused major banks and their funded lobbies of pitting both sides against each other, ultimately benefiting figures like Jamie Dimon. His remarks were in response to Christopher Williston, president of the Independent Bankers Association of Texas, who warned that concessions in the CLARITY Act debate could harm local lending and economic production. Banking lobby groups have expressed concerns that the CLARITY Act, if passed in its current form, could lead to stablecoins diverting deposits from the banking system. A recent research note from major US bank Standard Chartered suggested that increased stablecoin adoption might result in a significant decrease in US bank deposits. The debate has also attracted attention from the Trump family. Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, criticized large banks for not acting in the best interests of US citizens, accusing them of lobbying to prevent Americans from obtaining higher yields on their savings. U.S. President Donald Trump also voiced his disapproval of banks for delaying the Senate’s crypto market-structure bill due to ongoing disagreements over stablecoin yield payments. He urged for the swift passage of the bill, emphasizing the need to finalize the market structure promptly. Trump criticized banks for achieving record profits while attempting to undermine the nation's crypto agenda. The ongoing debate highlights the tension between traditional banking institutions and the emerging crypto industry as they navigate regulatory challenges and market dynamics.

Sources in the United States say that President Trump has privately expressed a “strong interest” in deploying U.S. ground troops to Iran. The sources said Trump has discussed the idea with aides and Republican officials. While Trump expressed strong interest in the idea, the focus of the proposed deployment is not on a “large-scale ground invasion of Iran,” but rather on “sending a small U.S. force to achieve specific strategic objectives.” The sources also said that Trump has not yet made any decisions or issued any orders regarding ground troops. White House Press Secretary Levitt stated in a statement that these sources are not members of the President's national security team. (CCTV News)

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has officially terminated its OneGov agreement with Anthropic. According to NS3.AI, this decision marks a significant shift in the GSA's approach to managing its services and partnerships. The termination of the agreement is expected to impact various operations and collaborations previously facilitated under the OneGov framework. The GSA has not provided specific reasons for ending the agreement, leaving industry observers to speculate on the potential implications for both parties involved. Anthropic, known for its advancements in artificial intelligence, may need to reassess its strategies in light of this development. The GSA's move reflects broader trends in government contracting and partnership management, as agencies continue to adapt to evolving technological and operational landscapes.
