Говард Лютник: Привязанные к доллару стейблкоины должны проходить аудит

Говард Лютник, назначенный Дональдом Трампом на пост министра торговли США, ответил на вопросы законодателей по поводу его связей с компанией Tether и возможного использования стейблкоинов USDT в преступных целях.

Выступая на слушаниях в Сенате по оценке его кандидатуры, генеральный директор Cantor Fitzgerald Говард Лютник (Howard Lutnick) заявил, что компании, выпускающие привязанные к доллару США стейблкоины, должны проходить обязательные проверки. Причем их стейблкоины должны быть на 100% обеспечены казначейскими облигациями.

Демократ из комитета Сената по торговле Мария Кантуэлл (Maria Cantwell) возразила, что USDT могут использоваться китайскими, северокорейскими и российскими преступными группировками для совершения незаконных транзакций. В ответ Лютник заявил, что в основном злоумышленники используют наличные деньги, а инновационные компании не должны винить себя за нецелевое использование их технологий.

«Мы же не обвиняем компанию Apple, когда преступники используют выпущенные ею телефоны», — парировал Лютник.

Если Сенат утвердит Лютника на должность министра торговли США, он сосредоточится на создании рабочих мест и будет сотрудничать с криптосоветом администрации Трампа для формирования политики в отношении криптовалют. Во избежание конфликта интересов на этой должности, Лютник покинет компанию Cantor Fitzgerald, которая является кастодианом Tether.

Компания Tether уже много лет находится под пристальным вниманием регуляторов. В октябре издание The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) сообщило, что Министерство юстиции США проверяет Tether на предмет возможных нарушений санкций и правил борьбы с отмыванием денег (AML). Гендиректор Tether Паоло Ардоино (Paolo Ardoino) опроверг эти обвинения. Он отметил, что компания публикует ежеквартальные отчеты о резервах стейблкоина USDT.

Ранее Tether заплатила административный штраф $42,5 млн в рамках урегулирования иска Комиссии по торговле товарными фьючерсами США (CFTC). Ведомство утверждало, будто Tether исказила информацию об обеспечении USDT.

Doubao and Qwen Will Discontinue Agent Functionality on July 15

On July 4th, Doubao and Tongyi Qianwen announced the impending shutdown of their user-created "AI Agent" features. Doubao confirmed its agent feature will be taken offline on July 15, directing users to ByteDance's CatBox app for similar needs. On the same day, Tongyi Qianwen notified users, specifying that personalized interactive agents and user-built agent functions will cease on July 10, with all agent features and services completely deactivated by July 15. After this date, access to agent configurations and historical chat records will be lost. This adjustment impacts core user scenarios like role-playing, personal assistants, and vertical tool agents. The shutdown date coincides with the official implementation of China's "Interim Measures for the Administration of Artificial Intelligence Human-like Interactive Services" on July 15. The new regulations impose strict rules on "human-like emotional interaction services," requiring platforms to implement measures like anti-addiction systems, minor verification, and content moderation. This move is widely seen as a proactive step by the platforms to align with regulatory timelines and mitigate compliance risks. Additionally, commercial challenges are a key driver. Analysis suggests that casual, human-like chat agents generate high-frequency, low-value interactions, leading to high computational costs with poor monetization. As the AI application market shifts from user growth to proving value, sustaining such "high-cost, low-efficiency" user-generated content becomes difficult. Both platforms have outlined transition plans. Doubao will allow data viewing and self-backup for a period after shutdown, with data scheduled for permanent deletion by October 15. Tongyi Qianwen similarly advised users to save important content via copying or screenshots before the deadline. This strategic retreat from C-end agent features signals a broader market shift. Compliance capability and sustainable business models are replacing user scale and feature richness as the new core competitive dimensions. Tongyi Qianwen's recent move to fully open its Agent and Skill platforms to third-party enterprises and developers further underscores a strategic pivot from low-value C-end services to high-value B-end enterprise scenarios.

Why Did Codex and ChatGPT Merge? What's Next for Codex? OpenAI Core Leader Answers Everything

In 2026, OpenAI's Codex saw explosive growth, with weekly active users surging over 5x to 5 million since January, driven largely by the February launch of its desktop app. Codex desktop lead Andrew Ambrosino explains key shifts behind its evolution. A core change is the inversion of development costs: implementation is now cheap, while curation and taste—judging which of many AI-generated prototypes is valuable—have become the new scarcities. Ambrosino defines taste as a blend of aesthetics, systems thinking, direction, and semantic coherence in interaction. He notes AI still struggles with design because evaluating it requires human cultural context and abstract reasoning about how components relate—capabilities beyond current models. Timing is critical: the same Codex app would have failed months earlier; success hinges on the model's capabilities at launch. Roles are blurring within his team, with engineers, designers, and PMs overlapping significantly. However, Ambrosino cautions against eliminating specialized roles entirely, as each field retains deep expertise. On AI-assisted development, the focus has shifted from measuring code written by AI to distinguishing between supervised and unsupervised generation. A current challenge is teaching models to simplify code, not just add complexity. The merger of Codex and ChatGPT stems from observed user behavior: non-developers adopted Codex for general knowledge work despite its developer-centric interface. This revealed a collapsing boundary between specialized tools and universal assistants. The vision is a "home base" that orchestrates tasks across external professional tools (like Excel or Premiere Pro) via connectors, rather than rebuilding everything internally. An internal example showed Codex helping edit video by interacting with Premiere Pro's files and even writing a plugin for it. The future direction is a unified, extensible platform that serves as a central hub for automating and managing work across any specialized tool the user employs.

CLARITY Act Countdown: How Will the Crypto Market Fare If It Doesn't Pass Before the August Recess?

The CLARITY Act, a major US crypto market structure bill, faces a tight deadline before the Senate's August 10 recess. It must overcome final hurdles—negotiations on ethics provisions and law enforcement concerns—to secure the 60 votes needed for passage. Analysts warn that missing this window significantly lowers its chances in 2026, with prediction markets giving only a 40% probability of success this year. If the act fails to pass by the recess, the market is expected to react not with a crash but with continued "slow bleeding," particularly in premium products like ETFs. June saw record net outflows from US Bitcoin spot ETFs, partly attributed to this legislative uncertainty. Assets like XRP, which would receive permanent commodity classification under the act, stand to lose a "regulatory premium" on further delays. Bitcoin and Ethereum, already classified as commodities by regulators, face less direct impact, but DeFi innovation and institutional capital inflows would remain stifled by regulatory ambiguity. The path forward includes passing before the recess (a major catalyst), postponement to 2027 (prolonging uncertainty), or failure, requiring the bill to be reintroduced in the next Congress. Despite the stalled negotiations, the bill's advancement this far signals the US is closer than ever to resolving crypto regulatory clarity.
