March 4 News, the White House released the latest developments on the CLARITY Act, drawing significant attention from the cryptocurrency market. Patrick Witt stated that negotiations on the bill are still ongoing, with most key issues already reaching consensus among industry participants and lawmakers. Currently, both sides are discussing final approval details. Witt emphasized the urgency of the timing and called for all parties to complete the agreement as soon as possible.
Currently, the biggest dispute centers on the yield and incentive mechanisms of stablecoins. Banks and regulators remain cautious about how these mechanisms operate, while crypto companies have proposed multiple compromise solutions in an attempt to balance innovation with regulatory compliance. However, traditional financial institutions prefer to delay acceptance of these proposals until a strict regulatory framework is established, which has become a major obstacle to passing the bill.
The cryptocurrency industry is actively applying pressure to accelerate the regulatory process. Leading industry players believe that clear regulatory rules can attract institutional capital and reduce market uncertainty, thereby promoting innovation and long-term growth. Witt pointed out that crypto companies have done their best to cooperate, and now banks and traditional financial institutions need to participate and push negotiations forward.
The CLARITY Act is expected to clarify the boundaries of cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S., decentralize regulatory authority across multiple agencies, and simplify compliance procedures. Once passed, the bill will help stabilize the development of stablecoins and decentralized finance (DeFi), and may set a reference standard for global regulation. Clear rules are expected to boost market confidence and encourage more institutions to enter the crypto space.
Market analysts note that whether the bill is ultimately enacted will directly impact the future development of cryptocurrencies. Although most issues have been resolved, regulation of stablecoin yields remains the final challenge. As negotiations enter a critical stage, the crypto economy may face an important turning point, with investors and companies closely watching the final outcome.

ETF Frenzy for Capital Inflow, Strong Bearish Momentum in Futures: Bitcoin Surges Past $69,000, Can the Short-term Rebound Continue?
Despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, the cryptocurrency market has demonstrated remarkable resilience, with Bitcoin breaking through $69,000 today (4) and approaching the $70,000 mark again. Market analysis indicates that this rally is less about investors' "bullish confidence" returning and more about a technical rebound driven by "short covering."
Crypto market maker Enflux pointed out that the market has neither fully priced in the disaster nor placed optimistic bets on a resolution. Last weekend, shorts capitalized on news of Middle Eastern military conflicts, causing Bitcoin to drop to $63,000. However, once the market realized that the situation was not escalating into a full-scale regional war affecting global trade routes, the long-suppressed short positions were quickly hunted down, triggering a short squeeze.
Enflux described in its report that the reaction speed of crypto assets to geopolitical shocks far exceeds that of traditional assets:

JPMorgan CEO slams the crypto industry: "Interest-bearing stablecoins" are equivalent to deposits and should be regulated like banks
In the ongoing battle over stablecoin yields sparked by the 《CLARITY Act》, the most influential leader on Wall Street, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, has spoken out, emphasizing that the banking industry is actively seeking to have "a fair playing field" with cryptocurrency companies. He also issued a stern warning: any stablecoin offering interest-like returns to users should be treated the same as bank deposits and subject to the same rigorous regulatory framework.
On Monday, Jamie Dimon told CNBC that if crypto companies want to pay "interest-like" rewards to stablecoin holders, they should be regulated just like banks. He said:
"The banking industry’s position is very clear: what we call 'rewards' are essentially 'interest.' If you hold customer funds and pay interest, you are in the banking business. In essence,"

Oil prices surge, interest rate cut expectations cool down! Circle benefits as the target price breaks $100
U.S. stablecoin giant Circle recently surged nearly 8% in stock price, hitting a four-month high, due to soaring oil prices and a cooling of interest rate cut expectations. Mizuho Securities raised its target price to $100, while maintaining a "Neutral" rating, but became more optimistic about profit prospects. Analysts believe that if the Federal Reserve continues to keep interest rates high, Circle's revenue will benefit accordingly, but market competition and regulatory pressures should still be watched carefully.
