On May 14, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Market Oversight and Clearing and Risk Divisions issued a 'No-Action Letter' providing regulatory relief regarding data reporting and record-keeping requirements for event contracts. According to the statement, CFTC staff will not recommend enforcement action against designated contract markets (DCM), derivatives clearing organizations (DCO), or their participants, even if they fail to comply with certain record-keeping requirements related to swap transactions or do not report full collateral event contract transaction data to swap data repositories. The CFTC stated that this decision responds to requests from multiple exchanges and clearing organizations that list and clear event contracts. The regulatory body anticipates receiving similar applications in the future, including new requests due to changes in DCM licenses or adjustments in DCOs. Furthermore, the CFTC noted that entities looking to launch or clear similar event contracts in the future could apply for the same 'No-Action' relief. The regulatory agency believes this move will streamline the approval process and ensure consistent treatment for market participants.

On May 14, a survey conducted by POLITICO and polling firm Public First, involving 2,035 American adults, revealed that only 4% of respondents stated they would consider a political candidate's stance on cryptocurrency policies when voting. The survey indicated that the most pressing issues for American voters currently include affordable housing, consumer fraud protection, and reducing bank fees. Only 18% of respondents believe that establishing regulatory rules for the cryptocurrency market should be a priority for Congress, just 1 percentage point higher than the priority of 'regulating large banks.' Additionally, only 27% of respondents support the U.S. government promoting cryptocurrency as a mainstream financial asset, while 31% oppose it. Furthermore, 45% of respondents believe that even though cryptocurrency investments may yield high returns, the risks are 'not worth taking'; only 25% think they are worth it. The survey also revealed that over half of the respondents indicated they have never traded cryptocurrency and will not do so in the future, with only 19% having traded crypto assets. Among those who have traded cryptocurrency, only 7% stated that a candidate's stance on cryptocurrency would influence their voting choice. However, the report noted that the lobbying power of the cryptocurrency industry continues to expand. Data shows that the cryptocurrency industry has invested over $130 million in political funding for the 2024 U.S. elections and has already contributed approximately $320 million for this year's midterm elections.

On May 14, despite an expanded loss in the first quarter, Solana Treasury's DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) reported a 108% year-over-year increase in the value of each SOL share. According to its latest announcement, as of May 13, the company's SOL share price rose from $0.0322 a year ago to $0.0670. As of Wednesday, the company holds 2,294,576 SOL and equivalent SOL assets.

On May 14, the Financial Times reported, citing sources, that hedge fund firm Citadel has relocated some core researchers from Hong Kong due to data security concerns. Sources revealed that Citadel has informed members of its global quantitative strategy team based in Hong Kong in recent months that they must choose to move to other office locations or resign.

On May 14, crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that a small bipartisan negotiating group of senators failed to reach an agreement on two remaining key issues of the CLARITY Act after discussions that evening. Republican chief negotiator Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that both sides had reached consensus on 99% of the bill's content and expressed hope to push the bill through the committee first, addressing the remaining 1% of disagreements later; otherwise, if another incident like FTX occurs, no one would be held accountable. Democrats, represented by Senators Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego, previously insisted that provisions regarding ethical and conflict of interest issues involving the 'First Family' (the President's family) be prerequisites for supporting the bill. Additionally, some Democrats temporarily raised objections to the provisions in the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) that exempt non-custodial software developers from prosecution under money transmission laws. Despite some progress on ethical issues, the final disagreement over BRCA provisions ultimately led to the breakdown of negotiations. The review by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is expected to proceed along partisan lines tomorrow (tonight Beijing time), and the final voting stance of five pro-cryptocurrency Democrats remains unclear.

The Aave community proposal on "Freeze BUSD on Aave v2 ETH" was voted through with 100% support and was implemented on February 26. This AIP proposes to freeze the BUSD reserve on the Aave V2 Ethereum pool. While BUSD is not an asset with borrowing power, and recent development does not present risks of excess debt, From Feb 2023, the circulating supply of this asset will eventually go toward zero. As there’s no real prospect of growth and the inability to mint new BUSD might hurt peg arbitrage opportunity and asset peg. It seems that the most reasonable path for Aave is to freeze this reserve and invite users to switch to another stablecoin among the diversity present in Aave.
