According to The Block, the Blockchain Association and the Crypto Council for Innovation filed a preliminary injunction motion on September 9 in the Sangamon County Circuit Court in Illinois, requesting to halt the new cryptocurrency tax in the state before it takes effect. This summer, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed the Digital Asset Tax Act, which proposes a 0.2% tax on digital asset transactions, set to take effect in January 2027.Previously, the two associations, along with the Digital Chamber, filed a lawsuit against the state in August. In a 34-page motion, the organizations stated that the tax is unprecedented and has caused "irreparable harm" to industry members, and that if the bill takes effect, it will force businesses to comply hastily without clear guidance, facing the risk of criminal penalties. They also pointed out that the law violates the Illinois Constitution by implementing differential taxation on digital assets and contravenes the federal Internet Tax Freedom Act, which prohibits discriminatory taxes on e-commerce. The Illinois Governor's office has not yet responded to requests for comment.

U.S. Federal Judge Rita Lin issued a partial summary judgment in a 59-page ruling regarding Anthropic's lawsuit against the Trump administration, determining that the government's punishment of Anthropic for publicly refusing to allow the military to use its Claude large model for mass surveillance of U.S. citizens and lethal autonomous operations constituted illegal retaliation, violating the First Amendment, due process clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act. The judge also revoked the related designations and Defense Secretary Hegseth's injunction, issuing a permanent injunction.The controversy arose from the Pentagon's demand that Anthropic remove all usage restrictions and accept terms allowing "all lawful uses," while Anthropic maintained its last two bottom lines. On February 27, 2025, Trump ordered all federal agencies to cease using the company's technology, and Hegseth subsequently prohibited any military contractors from doing business with it. During this process, the government abandoned its core claims, acknowledging that Anthropic had no backdoor access to the deployed models and that the risks of Claude were no greater than those of other "black box" systems. Lin pointed out that the government's punishment under the guise of "national security" was not a blank check, and that the government had been operating under the preliminary injunction since March without indicating any harm.Anthropic did not achieve a complete victory, as its claim that Trump's directive exceeded presidential authority was dismissed. Anthropic informed the court that if the relevant measures continued, its defense-related revenue would decrease by 50% to 100%, resulting in a loss of billions of dollars in overall revenue by 2026.

BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes stated that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent may expand the buyback of government bonds and increase the issuance of short-term Treasury bills to suppress long-term U.S. Treasury yields, and utilize funds from the Treasury General Account (TGA) to release liquidity. Hayes believes that such "proactive fiscal issuance" operations are similar to Yellen's approach in 2023, which guided money market fund funds away from the Federal Reserve's reverse repurchase tool through the issuance of short-term debt, and previously drove up risk assets and Bitcoin.Hayes pointed out that if the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield approaches or exceeds 5%, it will significantly raise costs for residential mortgages, corporate financing, and may prompt the Treasury to further intervene in the bond market. He expects that if U.S. dollar liquidity continues to expand, Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market are likely to benefit, but there may still be significant corrections during this period.

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin dismissed the CFTC's request for a preliminary injunction to prohibit Wisconsin from enforcing sports-related event contracts on platforms such as Kalshi, Coinbase, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Crypto.com. The court found that the CFTC failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on its claim—that the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) defines "swaps" to include sports event contracts—and that gambling regulation falls within the traditional police powers of the states, with federal law not clearly indicating an intent to preempt state law.Additionally, the court also denied the intervention requests from Kalshi, Crypto.com Derivatives North America (CDNA), and the American Gaming Association (AGA). The substantive litigation between the CFTC and the state of Wisconsin will continue to proceed.
