On April 20, the U.S. CLARITY Act enters a critical negotiation period this week, with the possibility of receiving the long-awaited committee review in April or delaying it until May depending on recent developments. The Senate Banking Committee will focus early in the week on the confirmation hearing for Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh. Following that, the committee must decide by Friday whether to notify the review of the bill in order to hold a vote during the week of April 27. Bank groups, represented by the North Carolina Bankers Association, are lobbying against the stablecoin yield restriction provisions in the bill, urging members to call Senator Thom Tillis's office to request amendments. It is reported that industry groups are also reaching out to other committee members. After more than two months of negotiations, crypto firms and banks reached a compromise at the end of last month, which was generally satisfactory to the crypto industry. However, following a report from the White House Council of Economic Advisers that downplayed the risks of stablecoin yields to the banking system, calls for amendments from the banking sector have intensified. Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, criticized banks on the X platform for further lobbying out of greed or ignorance. Senator Tillis proposed holding an in-person 'crypto carnival' meeting, which may extend the timeline. He emphasized that there are still issues to negotiate but expressed optimism about scheduling the review in the coming weeks. In addition to yield issues, the bill also needs to address ethical and DeFi-related provisions. The progress made this week will determine the fate of the bill, and the market is closely watching.

On April 20, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) jointly proposed amendments to Form PF to alleviate the reporting burden on private equity funds while ensuring the continued collection of necessary and appropriate information. The proposed amendments would eliminate filing requirements for small advisors, who currently account for about half of the total number of advisors required to submit Form PF. The amendments would raise the reporting threshold for private equity fund assets under management from $150 million to $1 billion. The proposal would also increase the risk exposure reporting threshold for large hedge fund advisors from $1.5 billion to $10 billion. Form PF will continue to collect information on over 90% of total private equity fund assets and require detailed risk exposure information from funds managed by large hedge fund managers. Additionally, the proposed amendments to Form PF will provide a method for identifying funds active in the private credit market. Besides modifying these thresholds, the proposal will also eliminate or simplify many of the requirements of Form PF, significantly reducing the burden on advisors required to submit the form. The proposal seeks comments on all proposed amendments.

On April 20, according to Crypto In America, a crucial week is approaching for negotiations on the Clarity Act, which will determine whether the long-awaited review of the bill can take place this month or be postponed until May. Early this week, members of the Senate Banking Committee will be busy with the nomination hearing for Kevin Warsh, who is the successor to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, nominated by President Trump. Warsh is one of the wealthiest nominees for the position, with assets exceeding $100 million and significant holdings in cryptocurrency companies. He is scheduled to testify on Tuesday morning. 

Afterward, if the committee plans to vote on the Clarity Act during the week of April 27, they must notify the status of the bill's review by Friday. However, increasing pressure from banks wishing to comment on the current stablecoin yield situation, along with North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis's desire to hear their opinions, may push the review to the second week of May, after the Senate recess. 

Senator Tillis's office is facing targeted pressure from banking industry groups such as the North Carolina Bankers Association. These groups are dissatisfied with the scope of the yield restrictions in the current bill draft and are urging their members to call Tillis's staff to clearly express their views. Aside from yield issues, there are also other concerns, such as ethical issues and regulations regarding decentralized finance (DeFi), that still need to be addressed before the bill can take effect.

On April 20, DLNEWS reported that Grinex, a major Russian crypto exchange, ceased operations last Wednesday due to a suspected major cyber attack, reportedly resulting in losses exceeding 1 billion rubles (approximately 13 million USD). The platform claimed on Telegram that the attack showed "signs of involvement from foreign intelligence agencies." Grinex was the successor to the previously sanctioned and shut down Garantex exchange, providing a financial channel for the Russian economy to evade sanctions, having processed nearly 100 billion USD in transactions for the sanctioned stablecoin A7A5 in 2025. Experts pointed out that the closure of Grinex is not only due to the hacker attack itself but, more importantly, it removes a trading platform on which Russian businesses relied to convert rubles into usable international currencies, causing "severe damage" to the infrastructure that allows Russia to evade sanctions, making it more difficult for the Russian economy to escape the pressures of sanctions. The exchange had already been sanctioned by Western authorities including the US, UK, and EU in August 2025. Meanwhile, the Russian economy continues to weaken, with Putin revealing that GDP fell by 1.8% in January-February this year, and maritime oil exports may drop to their lowest level since 2023.
