Bloomberg: The stablecoin bill gains bipartisan support in the U.S. and is expected to be quickly revived in the Senate

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, bipartisan senators in the U.S. are accelerating the push for a "rebirth" of stablecoin legislation supported by the crypto industry. Previously, the legislation was stalled due to controversies surrounding Trump's crypto investment portfolio. The primary Republican sponsor, Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty, stated at the Capitol that both parties are continuing to advance the legislation, hoping for a vote by the Democrats before the holiday recess on May 26, as the Senate will focus on the Republican tax plan. He bluntly said, "It's time to see if reason can prevail."Progressive Democrats like Elizabeth Warren are pushing to ban officials like Trump from profiting from crypto investments during their terms, which has been rejected by Republicans. Chuck Schumer and others have complained that there is no public text for the bipartisan compromise. The primary Democratic sponsor, Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks, stated that senators are working hard, and she and four other Democrats have voted in favor in the Banking Committee. In the Senate, most legislation requires 60 votes, making Democratic support crucial. Executives from the crypto industry, such as the CEO of Coinbase, are pushing to resolve the deadlock, and the digital asset industry spent heavily last year to elect crypto-friendly lawmakers, a trend that may continue into the 2026 midterm elections.

4E: Weak consumer confidence reignites economic concerns, US stock market gains slow down, cryptocurrency market fluctuates upward

ChainCatcher news reports that, according to 4E monitoring, Trump may ease tariff plans, somewhat alleviating market anxiety over a full-blown trade war, supporting the continued rebound of U.S. stocks. On Tuesday, the three major U.S. stock indices rose slightly, continuing Monday's gains. The S&P 500 rose by 0.16%, the Dow Jones increased by 0.01%, and the Nasdaq gained 0.46%. Most large tech stocks were up, with Tesla rising over 3% for five consecutive days, accumulating a total increase of 28%.The cryptocurrency market is fluctuating upward, with Bitcoin retreating after reaching a high of $88,765 on Monday, and last night it broke through $88,000 again, showing strong upward momentum. As of the time of writing, it has slightly retreated, hovering above $87,000, with a 24-hour increase narrowing to 0.8%. Most sectors in the market are rising, with the Meme sector continuing to perform strongly. Current market sentiment is optimistic; historically, risk assets tend to perform best in the second quarter, especially in April each year.In the forex and commodities sector, the latest economic data showed weakness, causing the dollar index to turn down after reaching a nearly three-week high, ending a four-day winning streak; oil prices fell slightly due to the impact of the Russia-Ukraine agreement; with a poor economic outlook, spot gold rose by 0.31%, reversing a trend of three consecutive days of decline.The U.S. Consumer Confidence Index for March, released last night, fell below expectations, dropping to its lowest level in four years, reflecting consumer concerns about the economic outlook. The disappointing data significantly slowed the upward momentum of U.S. stocks, with the three major indices narrowly maintaining their gains. As the April 2 effective date for reciprocal tariffs approaches, the market is closely watching how related policies will affect economic growth and inflation.

Dragonfly Report: U.S. Crypto Users May Miss Out on Over $5 Billion in Airdrop Gains Due to Geographic Restrictions

According to ChainCatcher's message, the latest "2025 Airdrop Status Report" released by Dragonfly shows that U.S. users missed out on significant cryptocurrency airdrop gains due to regional restriction policies. The report analyzed data from 12 airdrop projects (11 with regional restrictions and 1 unrestricted control project) between 2019 and 2023, estimating that between 920,000 and 5.2 million active U.S. users (accounting for 5-10% of U.S. cryptocurrency holders) were affected by these regional restriction policies.The study found that in 2024, approximately 22-24% of active crypto addresses globally belong to U.S. residents. The 11 projects in the sample collectively generated about $7.16 billion in value, with around 1.86 million users participating in claims, and the average median claim amount per eligible address was approximately $4,800. The report estimates that U.S. users lost potential gains of $1.84 billion to $2.64 billion due to regional restrictions between 2020 and 2024.More broadly, based on an analysis of 21 regional restriction airdrop samples by CoinGecko, U.S. users may have lost between $3.49 billion and $5.02 billion. This resulted in an estimated federal tax loss of about $418 million to $1.1 billion, and a state tax loss of approximately $107 million to $284 million, totaling tax losses of $525 million to $1.38 billion. The report also noted that the relocation of crypto businesses overseas has significantly reduced U.S. tax revenues; for example, Tether reported a profit of $6.2 billion in 2024, which, if fully subject to U.S. taxes, could contribute about $1.3 billion in federal corporate tax and $316 million in state tax.
