πŸš€ U.S. Senate Faces Challenges Over Cryptocurrency Legislation

A cryptocurrency bill led by U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott is facing bipartisan challenges due to a controversial clause concerning DeFi developer protections. According to ChainCatcher, the clause proposes exemptions for non-custodial software developers who do not control user funds, allowing them to avoid registration as money transmitters or compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.

Law enforcement organizations, including the National Sheriffs' Association and the National District Attorneys Association, have expressed concerns to Congress, warning that the clause could weaken efforts to combat financial crime. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has also voiced similar concerns.

The cryptocurrency industry views the clause as central to the bill, with DeFi Education Fund Executive Director Amanda Tuminelli stating that any changes to the text are unacceptable. Democratic Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Mark Warner are advocating for modifications to the clause. If bipartisan consensus is not reached, the bill may proceed without Democratic support, potentially affecting the required bipartisan majority for a full Senate vote.

πŸš€ STOCKS | BlackRock CIO Warns of Potential Downgrade in Stock Earnings Due to Middle East Conflict

Helen Jewell, BlackRock's International Chief Investment Officer for Fundamental Equities, has indicated that the ongoing Middle East conflict could necessitate a reduction in stock earnings expectations. According to Jin10, Jewell noted that current earnings forecasts for this year remain high, ranging from 15% to 18%, suggesting significant room for downward adjustments. She expressed skepticism about the stability of earnings predictions in the consumer sector, particularly given the impact of interest rates and inflation stemming from the Middle East situation.

Preliminary signs indicate potential changes in earnings expectations. After weeks of analysts raising forecasts, Citigroup's U.S. Earnings Momentum Index turned negative last Friday, with downgrades outnumbering upgrades by the largest margin in nearly a year. Despite this, analysts' predictions remain optimistic amid high uncertainty and rising price pressures. Compiled data shows that the market generally expects the S&P 500's earnings per share to grow by 16% this year, marking the strongest performance since 2021.

The first-quarter earnings season is set to officially begin next week. Jewell highlighted that the potential for earnings growth in energy and materials stocks is offset by the downside risks in industries such as aviation, suggesting that overall earnings will remain relatively stable.

πŸš€ USDC Holders May Face End of 4% Earnings Amid Legislative Push

PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the days of earning a 4% return by holding USDC might be coming to an end. The American Bankers Association (ABA) has reportedly spent $56.7 million lobbying for the passage of the 'Clarity Act.' The primary aim of this legislation is to prevent users from obtaining returns similar to government bonds through stablecoin holdings. The banking sector's main concern is that if stablecoins can offer an annualized return of 4% to 5%, it could potentially impact up to $1.5 trillion in retail deposits.

Allwinner Technology has announced its financial projections for the first quarter of 2026, expecting net profits attributable to shareholders to range between 1.95 billion yuan and 2.2 billion yuan.

The anticipation of price increases has also led downstream customers to increase their stockpiling. These factors have contributed to an approximate 45% year-on-year growth in operating revenue, which in turn has driven the increase in net profits.

πŸš€ Binance to Enhance VIP Loan Services with New Fixed Rate Options

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is set to enhance its VIP Loan services starting from 2026-04-09 08:00 (UTC). This update will allow users to borrow Fixed Rate Loan orders directly from the VIP Loan page, offering a more seamless borrowing experience.
