On May 15, the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) was approved by the Senate Banking Committee this morning and has moved on to the full Senate vote. The market is optimistic about the prospects of completing the legislation this year, with the prediction market Polymarket giving a success probability of over 70%. However, the CLARITY Act still faces significant hurdles, the most challenging being the need to secure 60 votes out of 100 to end the debate motion in the full Senate. The legislative process for the CLARITY Act is detailed as follows: The Senate Banking Committee version of the bill is set to be merged with the Senate Agriculture Committee version, which currently appears highly likely to succeed. The Banking Committee version addresses SEC-related aspects, focusing on securities attributes, trading platform registration, and DeFi protections; the Agriculture Committee version was passed on January 29 and deals with CFTC-related matters, emphasizing digital commodity spot markets, derivatives, and intermediaries. The two committee versions complement each other without significant conflicts, and the merger is expected to take 2-3 weeks. After the merger, the CLARITY Act will enter the full Senate vote. The vote must first pass the 'hard threshold' to end the debate motion, requiring 60 votes out of 100; without 60 votes, any senator can indefinitely delay the process, preventing the final vote on the bill. Currently, 2 Democratic senators have crossed party lines in support, and all 51 Republican senators are expected to vote in favor, but at least 7 Democratic senators need to switch their votes for the bill to pass, representing the biggest variable in the legislative path of the CLARITY Act. Following a successful end to the debate motion, the final vote will require a simple majority (51 votes) to pass, leading to the formation of the Senate version of the CLARITY Act. This Senate version will then be reconciled with the House version, which was passed in July 2025, to establish a final unified text through a conference committee, followed by a final vote in both chambers, which only requires a simple majority to pass, as consensus has typically been reached within the committee before the vote, allowing for a swift passage to be signed into law by Trump.

On May 15, U.S. President Trump stated that his patience with Iran is running thin, urging Tehran to reach an agreement with Washington. He also hinted that the demand to reclaim Iran's enriched uranium is more about creating a certain 'perception' rather than for security reasons. 'My patience won't last much longer,' Trump said, 'They should reach an agreement.' When asked about the necessity of obtaining enriched uranium from Iran, Trump suggested that aside from public relations purposes, there is actually no need for this demand. Trump stated, 'To be honest, if we could get that enriched uranium, I would feel more secure. But I think this is more about public relations than any other purpose.' (Jinshi)

According to Beating monitoring, San Francisco tech journalist Jasmine Sun published a lengthy investigative report in The New York Times, concluding after interviewing over 50 researchers, economists, and policy experts that the consensus among Silicon Valley AI practitioners is that the economic outlook for most ordinary people is bleak, yet no one knows what to do about it. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicts that by 2030, 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs may disappear, while Block CEO Jack Dorsey laid off nearly half of his employees in March, directly attributing this to AI agents. In a follow-up article, she documented the starkly different attitudes observed during her visit to China. When she relayed the anxiety of American recent graduates struggling to find jobs due to AI to Chinese youth, her 24-year-old cousin scoffed, stating that the issue in China is simply too many people competing for too few jobs. Juan Yan, author of 'Delivering in Beijing,' also mentioned that blue-collar colleagues are too busy making a living to consider the threat of AI replacement. This contrast has specific causes. Since the expansion of higher education in 1999, a large number of knowledge workers have been produced, but the available positions are far from sufficient, leading to significant youth unemployment even before the advent of AI. Labor costs are also low; a Zhihu user pointed out that replacing a job with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan with AI is not cost-effective, while jobs in the U.S. with annual salaries exceeding $100,000 are the real hotspots. The Chinese attitude towards AI is not one of fear but rather eagerness to learn; a WeChat analysis article succinctly summarizes that discussions about AI in China fall into two categories: one urging you to learn quickly and the other pushing you to get on board. Policy differences are also significant. AI policy researcher Matt Sheehan found that a labor arbitration case in Beijing ruled that firing an employee solely because AI could perform their job violated the Labor Contract Law. During her visit, she also noticed that parks and subway stations in China are staffed with far more cleaners and security personnel than necessary, effectively serving as a buffer for employment.

On May 15, John Williams, President of the New York Federal Reserve, delivered a public speech on Thursday, stating that in the context of significant uncertainty due to conflicts in the Middle East, there is currently no need for the Federal Reserve to consider adjusting interest rate policies. He emphasized that the overall monetary policy is in an appropriate range, with no rationale for either raising or lowering rates in the short term. 

Williams expressed these views at an event hosted by the National Association for Business Economics, maintaining a consistent policy stance. He highlighted the importance of stabilizing inflation expectations, noting that while short-term inflation expectations have risen slightly, this is a normal phenomenon, and long-term inflation expectations remain stable, which is crucial for overall price stability. 

Regarding the impact of tariffs, Williams believes that the inflationary effects of tariffs have largely been absorbed, and it is essential to continue monitoring the evolution of overall price pressures. 

Williams pointed out that current inflation expectations are generally under control, and the labor market has not further pushed up prices. There have been no unusual second-round effects or persistent inflation inertia in the market, but he stressed the need for close observation and vigilance in monitoring. 

Commenting on the continued strength of the U.S. stock market, Williams stated that this is not surprising given the level of optimism regarding the economic outlook. He noted that the market holds optimistic expectations for future productivity gains, with advancements in technology such as artificial intelligence serving as significant support. 

Additionally, he gave a positive assessment of the Federal Reserve's current ample reserves banking liquidity management system, stating that it is functioning well.

According to Forkast, Ripple, a blockchain-based digital payment network, has made a proposal for South Korea to make clear distinctions in cryptocurrencies between payment tokens, utility tokens, and security tokens, in a policy paper released on Tuesday. Ripple’s policy paper says South Korea’s current definition of a “virtual asset” is fairly broad, as it covers “a digital token with economic value that is digitally tradable and transferable.” “We believe the policy recommendations outlined in this paper strike the right balance between providing regulatory clarity, while having a regulatory framework that’s forward-looking and flexible,” said Rahul Advani, policy director APAC at Ripple. South Korean regulators have already applied strict anti-money laundering and know-your-customer requirements for digital asset businesses, which left only four exchanges eligible for providing cash-to-crypto services. South Korea’s newly elected president Yoon Suk-yeol pledged to bring forth a new regulatory framework for blockchain and crypto to nurture the industry while safeguarding investors.
