卡马拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）对竞选搭档的选择可能暗示了她当选后计划如何执政，而该职位的主要竞争者对加密货币表现出不同程度的支持或谨慎。
乔什·夏皮罗（Josh Shapiro）和安迪·贝希尔（Andy Beshear）等一些竞争者一直积极参与或支持州一级的加密货币相关活动，而罗伊·库珀（Roy Cooper）等其他竞争者则采取了更为谨慎的态度。
格雷琴·惠特默（Gretchen Whitmer）和马克·凯利（Mark Kelly）等其他主要候选者的加密立场不太明确，但他们有支持支持加密立法的政治盟友，或者以其他方式表明对该行业的潜在开放态度。

卡马拉·哈里斯 (Kamala Harris) 不可思议地成为了民主党总统候选人，这已颠覆了 11 月选举将如何影响加密货币政策的剧本。几个月来，前总统唐纳德·特朗普似乎已成为支持加密货币的候选人，而总统乔·拜登则顽固地拒绝接受两党推动的行业相关立法。

但现在，所有情况都改变了。

正如亿万富翁、著名比特币倡导者马克·库班 (Mark Cuban) 告诉 Decrypt 的那样，在发起竞选活动后的 48 小时内，哈里斯的阵营联系了他，提出了多个有关加密货币政策的问题。行业游说团体对变革可能到来持谨慎乐观态度，恳求哈里斯明确发布其总统任期内的数字资产议程，并选择一位支持加密货币的竞选搭档。

哈里斯选择的副总统将如何影响美国的加密货币政策？据报道，她的副总裁职位将于本周宣布，以下是该职位的最佳候选人名单，以及他们在区块链技术方面的排名。

Josh Shapiro 乔什·夏皮罗

盘点哈里斯的潜在竞选搭档：都对加密货币持什么立场？

宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗目前被认为是哈里斯的首选，因为他在 2024 年最关键的摇摆州之一大受欢迎。虽然他没有公开谈论加密货币，但在他的任期内，宾夕法尼亚州已成为美国最热门的比特币挖矿市场之一。

为此，夏皮罗甚至在今年早些时候与一家公开上市的比特币矿业公司一起被列为共同被告 —— 一家非营利组织因他对造成污染的加密采矿业务使用的能源征税而提起诉讼。

Tim Walz 蒂姆·沃尔兹

盘点哈里斯的潜在竞选搭档：都对加密货币持什么立场？

明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹（Tim Walz）是哈里斯副总统的黑马人选，近几周来他的全国知名度飙升，但他从未就加密货币发表过任何公开声明。作为一名坚定的进步州长，他在区块链技术方面可能是双向的。

一方面，沃尔兹将自己定位为实用主义者，希望在牢固的工会关系与创造就业机会和促进创新的愿望之间取得平衡。然而，另一方面，州长推动他的州推行该国最进步的能源政策之一。去年，他签署了一项法案，要求明尼苏达州到 2040 年过渡到 100% 清洁能源。

因此，与名单上的其他州长不同，沃尔兹可能不会热衷于能源密集型加密货币挖矿 —— 取决于所使用的电力来源。

Roy Cooper 罗伊·库珀

盘点哈里斯的潜在竞选搭档：都对加密货币持什么立场？

北卡罗来纳州州长罗伊·库珀被认为是哈里斯副总统人选的另一个竞争者，因为他在一个曾两次投票给特朗普的深紫色州。然而，鉴于他在该州罕见的受欢迎程度以及他作为 2026 年民主党参议院候选人的预期，他现在晋升为竞选伙伴可能被视为不必要的风险。

关于加密货币，库珀本月早些时候发表了一项明确的声明，否决了禁止北卡罗来纳州推行央行数字货币（ CBDC ）的法案。禁止 CBDC（或「数字美元」）最近已成为共和党人的一个重大问题，他们将国家手中的类似区块链的技术视为隐私威胁。

库珀否决该法案时，谈到了加密货币的潜在效用，表达了一种有些谨慎但又有些灵活的「观望」态度。

「联邦层面正在努力确保标准和保障措施到位，以保护可能想要进行数字资产货币交易的消费者、投资者和企业，北卡罗来纳州应该等待看看它们如何运作，然后再采取行动。」库珀当时说。

Gretchen Whitmer 格雷琴·惠特默

盘点哈里斯的潜在竞选搭档：都对加密货币持什么立场？

尽管密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默公开表示她不想竞选哈里斯的副总统，但据报道她仍在接受该职位的审查。

惠特默被誉为摇摆州煽动者，在毫不掩饰地拥抱进步事业方面取得了巨大成功，但她对加密货币的立场却很少表态。

但她是密歇根政治的产物，中西部州的民主党人已经表明，他们比其他人更愿意致力于加密货币监管框架。

例如，密歇根州的两位民主党参议员都支持有利于加密行业的立法。参议员加里 · 彼得斯 (Gary Peters) 在 5 月份与拜登决裂，废除了 SEC 禁止银行持有加密货币的规定，而参议员黛比 · 斯塔贝诺 (Debbie Stabenow) 则表示有兴趣制定数字资产监管法案。

例如，密歇根州的两位民主党参议员都支持有利于工业的立法。参议员加里·彼得斯 (Gary Peters) 在 5 月份与拜登决裂，废除了 SEC 禁止银行持有加密货币的规定，而参议员黛比·斯塔贝诺 (Debbie Stabenow) 则表示有兴趣制定数字资产监管。

众议员埃丽莎·斯洛特金 (Elissa Slotkin) 是民主党领先的候选人，一旦斯塔贝诺于 1 月份退休，他将接替斯塔贝诺，目前她获得了亲行业非营利组织 Stand With Crypto 的「A」评级。

Andy Beshear 安迪·贝希尔

盘点哈里斯的潜在竞选搭档：都对加密货币持什么立场？

肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔（Andy Beshear）与这份名单上的许多其他潜在人选符合同样的模式：一位来自偏红州的受欢迎的民主党州长。

他也是竞选哈里斯副总统时最毫不掩饰支持加密货币的政客之一。 2021 年，Beshear 签署了两项法案，包括了税收减免和其他激励措施吸引比特币矿工来到该州。从那时起，肯塔基州就成为了加密货币挖矿的温床。

并且早在 2020 年，Beshear 就签署了一项法案，成立一个工作组来调查州一级区块链技术的潜在用例。

Mark Kelly 马克·凯利

盘点哈里斯的潜在竞选搭档：都对加密货币持什么立场？

亚利桑那州参议员、前宇航员马克·凯利 (Mark Kelly) 在 2020 年的一场关键选举中获胜，为民主党赢来了长期共和党席位。从那时起，他就创造了作为参议院最右倾民主党人之一的投票记录。

他最近也显示出对加密货币的支持。今年 5 月，凯利是少数与拜登决裂并投票废除美国证券交易委员会禁止银行持有加密货币的规定的民主党参议员之一。

Pete Buttigieg 皮特·布蒂吉格

盘点哈里斯的潜在竞选搭档：都对加密货币持什么立场？

哈里斯的 2020 年主要竞争对手皮特·布蒂吉格 (Pete Buttigieg) 的履历并没有显示出他对加密货币政策有太多了解：先是担任印第安纳州南本德市市长，然后担任拜登的交通部长，这位雄心勃勃的政治神童很少与数字资产打交道，他也没有就这个话题发表太多言论。

但皮特市长在全国聚光灯下短暂停留期间，已经表明他不是美国科技和商业利益的敌人。这位前麦肯锡顾问在 2020 年民主党总统初选期间受到亿万富翁捐助者和硅谷精英的热烈追捧，尽管他缺乏全国政治履历。

虽然他对加密货币的看法仍然是一个问号，但布蒂吉格是否准备成为美国顶级加密公司的伊丽莎白·沃伦 (Elizabeth Warren) 级别的敌人值得怀疑。

J.B. Pritzker JB 普利兹克

盘点哈里斯的潜在竞选搭档：都对加密货币持什么立场？

伊利诺伊州州长 JB 普利茨克 (JB Pritzker) 是凯悦酒店财富的亿万富翁继承人，他是最积极支持加密货币的民主党人之一，据传将加入哈里斯阵营。

「加密货币的未来在伊利诺伊州。」普利茨克在 2021 年 8 月表示，早在许多政客就该主题发表立场之前。

但从那时起，这位中西部州长基本上不再将加密货币作为其执政议程的关键组成部分，同时推动伊利诺伊州保持一个有竞争力的亲商业环境，并成为量子计算等新兴技术的发展中心。

副总统 Harris 已正式成为美国民主党的总统候选人，她的 VP 选择预计在本周公布，市场将会作何反应？让我们拭目以待。

Fed Turns Hawkish, Wall Street Capitulates, Citi Stands as 'Last Holdout': Insists on Resuming Rate Cuts in October

Amid a surprisingly hawkish shift from the Fed and most of Wall Street capitulating on rate cut expectations, Citigroup stands as a notable outlier, holding firm to its forecast for monetary easing to restart this October. Following the June FOMC meeting, where the "dovish bias" was removed and the dot plot shifted dramatically, markets priced in nearly 37bps of tightening for 2026. Major banks like Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs revised their calls, predicting rate hikes as soon as September. Citigroup, however, maintains a baseline scenario for a 25bps rate cut in October, followed by two more cuts in December and January 2027. Its counter-consensus view rests on three key arguments: 1) Plunging oil prices are eliminating a major inflation upside risk. 2) Rising initial jobless claims are mirroring seasonal weakening patterns seen in 2024-2025, signaling a labor market cool-down. 3) The strong core PCE is an "outlier," heavily influenced by AI-related prices and equity market gains rather than broad consumer price pressures, with other inflation metrics showing more moderation. While Wall Street largely "surrenders" to the hawkish Fed narrative, with Deutsche Bank forecasting two hikes and Goldman Sachs warning of potential back-to-back moves, Citigroup remains the "last holdout," betting that disinflationary forces will pave the way for cuts before year-end.

Open Systems Will Ultimately Prevail: Why Ethereum Is the Next Linux?

The article "Open Systems Will Ultimately Prevail: Why Ethereum Is the Next Linux?" argues that Ethereum, like Linux before it, will triumph over closed, proprietary systems in finance due to its open, permissionless, and credibly neutral nature. It draws a historical parallel: just as the open internet defeated corporate private networks and Linux outcompeted proprietary Unix systems, open financial infrastructure like Ethereum will surpass private blockchains. The core advantage lies in the "bazaar" development model (as described in Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar"), where decentralized, permissionless innovation by a global community of developers outpaces the controlled "cathedral" approach of centralized entities. This model fosters rapid innovation, as seen with Ethereum standards like ERC-20 and applications like Uniswap, which were built without needing permission. Ethereum's key, irreplicable strength is its credible neutrality: transparent, equally applicable, immutable rules that allow anyone to participate. This ensures sovereign independence, meaning no single entity (company, government) can control or change its core rules—a critical feature for global financial infrastructure. In contrast, private blockchains and consortium chains (like SWIFT or various bank-led projects) suffer from platform risk, central control, and an inability to attract broad developer ecosystems, leading to frequent failures. The article notes that major institutions (e.g., BlackRock, JPMorgan, Coinbase, Robinhood) are already building on Ethereum or its Layer 2 networks, recognizing its security, developer ecosystem, and network effects. While critics argue finance requires accountable, controlled systems, the response is that compliance (KYC, regulations) can be built at the application layer on top of a neutral settlement layer like Ethereum, just as secure commerce was built on the open internet via HTTPS. Ultimately, the thesis is that attempting to build walled-garden, proprietary financial networks is a flawed strategy that stifles innovation. The winning approach is to build applications on top of open, credibly neutral infrastructure like Ethereum, which is poised to become the foundational settlement layer for global finance.

As Channel Dividends Fade, What Can DeFi Protocols Rely On to Resist Giant Harvesting?

The article discusses how major tech companies like Coinbase, Stripe, and Kraken are increasingly acquiring or building their own underlying infrastructure to capture profits, moving away from relying on external DeFi protocols. It uses the example of Coinbase's Base blockchain, which generates sequencing fees for Coinbase from protocols like Morpho that deploy on it. Similarly, Stripe acquired Bridge to capture stablecoin yield instead of paying it to Circle, and Kraken bought NinjaTrader for its derivatives licenses. The core argument is that when channel-based advantages (like user traffic) fade, control over the profit-generating infrastructure becomes critical. While this could lead to a future dominated by a few integrated giants, the article suggests a more balanced outcome is possible. Protocols that have already achieved deep, multi-chain integration and embedded themselves into corporate backends create high switching costs, making them difficult to replace. Examples include Morpho (despite reliance on Base, it's widely deployed) and Uniswap. The piece concludes that the race between institutional expansion and open-source protocol proliferation will ultimately shape the industry's structure.

The Computing Power Dilemma in the Sino-US AI Rivalry

The Sino-US AI rivalry faces a fundamental bottleneck: the widening compute power gap. While Chinese AI chip companies have seen investment surges, their current focus remains largely on the less demanding inference market. The real challenge lies in the high-end training chip sector, crucial for developing cutting-edge large language models (LLMs), where Nvidia holds a near-monopoly. The compute disparity is stark. US tech giants like Meta, Google, and xAI command massive GPU clusters, enabling them to train trillion-parameter models rapidly. Estimates suggest US data center count and total compute capacity significantly outstrip China's. This "brute force" advantage allows for faster model iteration and exploration of larger parameter scales, with top US models reportedly leading their Chinese counterparts by 8 to 15 months. Chinese alternatives, such as Huawei's Ascend and others from companies like Moore Thread and Biren, are emerging. They show promise in inference and some training scenarios, closing the performance gap with mid-range Nvidia products. However, the core hurdle extends beyond raw chip performance to the entrenched software ecosystem, exemplified by Nvidia's CUDA platform. The path forward involves "walking on two legs": navigating import restrictions while heavily investing in the domestic chip industry. Though still in a catch-up phase, China's vast market, talent pool, and capital are fostering progress. The ultimate test is whether Chinese firms can build a competitive hardware-software ecosystem to power the next generation of AI.

He Kaiming's Team's New Work: After Deleting VAE and Private Data, Text-to-Image Generation Becomes Even Stronger

KaiMing He's team introduces **MiniT2I**, a minimalist text-to-image (T2I) model that challenges the complexity of mainstream approaches. It eliminates components commonly considered essential: the VAE encoder-decoder, AdaLN conditioning mechanisms, auxiliary losses, private training data, and post-training alignment stages like RL/DPO. Instead, it uses a pure flow-matching objective trained directly on RGB pixels. The model employs a simplified **MM-JiT** Transformer architecture. It removes AdaLN blocks for conditioning and instead prepends two lightweight text adapter blocks to a standard pre-norm Transformer, allowing frozen T5 text features to adapt to the denoiser. Training follows a two-stage, LLM-like paradigm using only public datasets: pre-training on LLaVA-recaptioned CC12M for coverage, followed by fine-tuning on ~120k high-quality image-text pairs. With just 258M parameters (B/16), MiniT2I achieves competitive scores (0.87 on GenEval, 84.2 on DPG-Bench), outperforming larger pixel-space models. Scaling to 912M parameters (L/16) yields results comparable to SD3-Medium (~2B parameters) in style, composition, and imagination, though it lags in text rendering and named entities due to public data limitations. Key advantages include lower computational cost (~570 GFLOPs vs. ~1379 for latent models) and architectural simplicity. Acknowledged limitations include patch boundary artifacts in pixel space, side effects of high CFG scales, resolution ceilings for sequences longer than 1024 tokens, and the aforementioned data bottlenecks. The work demonstrates that high-performance T2I generation is possible with a radically simplified, publicly reproducible baseline.
