According to The Block, Patrick Witt, the executive director of the White House Digital Assets Presidential Advisory Committee, previewed at the Bitcoin 2026 conference that a significant announcement regarding Trump's strategic Bitcoin reserve will be made in the coming weeks. Witt stated that since Trump signed the executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve last year, the team has been researching relevant mechanisms and legal interpretations to ensure that digital assets (especially Bitcoin) on the government's balance sheet are properly protected and consolidated.Meanwhile, lawmakers are pushing to legislate Trump's executive action. The BITCOIN bill reintroduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis and Representative Nick Begich has been renamed the "U.S. Reserve Modernization Act," which includes provisions to acquire 1 million Bitcoins over five years through a "budget-neutral strategy."

He pointed out that the current situation, accompanied by negative demand shocks from "second-round effects," poses a potential risk of spreading to financial instability, highlighting the uncertainty of the outlook.

The "Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Committee" established by Coinbase has released its first position paper. The core conclusion of this position paper is that the core infrastructure of Bitcoin is fundamentally secure. Quantum computing does not pose a substantial threat to Bitcoin mining, hash functions, and the historical records of the blockchain. The real vulnerability lies at the wallet level, and Ethereum has laid out a clear roadmap to address this issue in the near future.Previously, Coinbase announced the establishment of the Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Committee in January this year, with committee members including researchers from Stanford University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the Ethereum Foundation.

Patrick Witte, the Executive Director of the White House Digital Assets Presidential Advisory Committee, stated on Monday that substantive progress is being made in Senate negotiations surrounding the Clarity Act, with a compromise reached on the issue of stablecoin yields expected to hold, and the focus of negotiations has shifted to other unresolved topics.The issue of stablecoin yields was previously the biggest obstacle to advancing the bill. Banking lobbyists successfully persuaded some senators that providing yields similar to bank interest to stablecoin holders would threaten the traditional banking deposit base, causing the bill to reach an impasse. Witte stated, "We hope that the compromise reached will be durable and stable. Resolving this issue is a prerequisite for advancing other pending matters." Last week, the White House economic advisors released a report downplaying the risk concerns raised by the banking industry; in response, the American Bankers Association rebutted on Monday, claiming the White House's arguments were flawed.In addition to stablecoin yields, the bill also faces several disagreements, including illegal financial protection mechanisms in the DeFi space and a demand from Democrats to prohibit senior government officials (specifically targeting President Trump) from profiting from the crypto industry. Witte did not disclose which topics have reached consensus but indicated that negotiations have "made considerable progress behind the scenes," stating, "We are very close to comprehensively resolving these issues." The Clarity Act still needs to go through the Senate Banking Committee's markup review process before being submitted for a full Senate vote. Witte expressed optimism about reaching a final agreement, noting that many issues that previously seemed stuck have gradually been resolved.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) recalled in his new book that in July 2013, he first heard about Bitcoin during a poker game with investors and entrepreneurs.

According to Forbes, Plume's legal advisor B. Salman Banaei testified before Congress, strongly urging the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to expedite the development of tokenization rules while advancing the full ATS (Alternative Trading System) registration for DeFi protocols, rather than relying solely on "innovation exemptions."Banaei criticized the SEC for "putting all its eggs in one basket with innovation exemptions," calling this approach "foolish," and warned that setting volume and product limitations would fail to attract large institutions, "because they will not invest resources in an infrastructure that may not exist in two or three years." He also suggested that the SEC seek feedback on the current incompatibilities in the rules and develop permanent solutions.Plume was approved by the SEC in October 2025 to become a registered transfer agent, capable of handling shareholder records, transfers, and dividends for on-chain tokenized securities, and is currently awaiting a FINRA broker-dealer license. Banaei pointed out that there are only 10 months left in the current SEC leadership window, and action must be taken quickly to promote the development of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

Resolv Labs posted on platform X, strongly advising users not to trade or purchase USR stablecoins. On-chain data shows that USR illegally minted by attackers has been mixed with normal USR from before the attack in multiple wallets and continues to circulate in the secondary market. The official pointed out that the illegally minted USR has no collateral support and does not have redemption rights, and any current transactions may involve contaminated assets, increasing the complexity of subsequent asset recovery and handling.Resolv Labs stated that they are still in the early stages of assessing compensation plans for affected users and cannot make any guarantees at this time, and ongoing trading activities may further limit potential compensation options. The team mentioned that they are closely collaborating with relevant protocol parties to develop solutions and will announce more details later.

Mohsen Rezaei, the new military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, emphasized in an interview released by Iranian state television on March 23 that Iran will not stop the war until it receives all compensations, all economic sanctions are lifted, and it obtains international legal guarantees against U.S. interference in Iranian affairs.Rezaei also stressed that the dispute between Iran and the U.S. is not only about the current conflict or last year's attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran, but has been ongoing for 47 years since the victory of the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979, and it must be "brought to an end."

According to The Block, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the U.S. Presidential Advisory Council on Digital Assets, stated on the X platform that stablecoins compliant with the GENIUS Act framework will actually bring deposit inflows to the U.S. banking system, rather than siphoning off deposits as warned by the banking industry.Witt pointed out that there is a huge global demand for the U.S. dollar, with foreigners exchanging local currencies for stablecoins issued by U.S. entities, which means new net capital is entering the U.S. banking system. Earlier this month, Witt also mentioned that paying yields on balances does not necessarily require bank-like regulation; what truly needs regulation is the lending or re-collateralization of the dollars that make up the balances, and the GENIUS Act explicitly prohibits stablecoin issuers from engaging in the latter.
