On September 13, market observers noted that Anthropic executives' call to slow down technological development could temporarily weigh on chip manufacturers and supply chain stocks. However, the long-term impact may be limited as spending on computing infrastructure remains robust. Semiconductor manufacturers and other AI-related stocks may be among the first to face initial sell-offs on Monday, as investors assess whether a more cautious approach to developing advanced models will dampen profits. Nonetheless, given that demand for chips, energy, and computing power continues to exceed supply, any weakness is likely to be short-lived. Investors, including Gary Tan, a portfolio manager at Allspring Global Investments in Singapore, expressed skepticism about the potential for lasting effects on the industry. While this may create some short-term pressure, it is unlikely to derail long-term AI investments. The development of AI is still in a relatively early stage, and it remains uncertain whether other parts of the ecosystem are willing to accept the current hierarchy and slow down, especially as technology continues to evolve rapidly.

On September 13, South Korea's government proposal for the Digital Asset Basic Law entered the final window of this month. The Financial Services Commission originally planned to submit the legislative proposal by Chairman Yoo Dong-soo of the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee within this month, but the schedule has been postponed. The ruling party plans to hold a hearing as scheduled later this month, but if the government proposal is not submitted, the hearing may become a repetition of previous discussions. If the deadline is missed this month, the final approval may be delayed until the first half of next year due to the overlapping impact of the National Assembly's oversight in October and the budget review. The Democratic Party of Korea has also proposed an amendment to the Capital Markets Act, aiming to allow non-monetary assets such as real estate, artwork, and intellectual property to be issued as trust income securities, which is expected to be discussed in the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee's bill subcommittee on September 15. Additionally, there are calls to reconsider the timeline for taxing virtual assets in January next year, as information from on-chain wallets, airdrops, and hard forks is difficult to automatically connect with tax authorities, and it is suggested to raise the basic deduction amount and introduce loss carryforward deductions.

On September 13, two sources revealed that U.S. President Trump met with advisors on Friday to discuss a government ethics provision being considered for inclusion in the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act). This meeting took place ahead of a procedural vote in the Senate next Tuesday that will determine the fate of the CLARITY Act's advancement. Senate Democrats are demanding that the legislation include ethical language applicable to government officials to limit Trump's ability to profit from his family's cryptocurrency business. It is unclear what the outcome of the meeting was or which advisors attended. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday evening. Trump's senior cryptocurrency policy advisor, Patrick Witt, posted a positive signal on X on Saturday, stating, "For the pessimists of the CLARITY Act, today is a bad day." This statement suggests potential progress in the bill's advancement. Ethical provisions have been one of the key obstacles facing the CLARITY Act in the Senate, with significant bipartisan divisions over whether enforcement authority should be led by the Department of Justice or state attorneys general. The procedural vote next Tuesday will test whether both parties can reach a compromise on this core issue before the Senate recess.
