1. U.S. House Agriculture Committee Passes Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill, Clarifying Regulatory Divisions

The U.S. House Agriculture Committee passed the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" on Tuesday with a vote of 47 in favor and 6 against. The bill will clarify the regulatory divisions between the SEC and CFTC regarding cryptocurrencies, requiring digital asset companies to disclose customer information and segregate customer funds. The latest revised terms specify that non-custodial platforms and their developers do not fall under "unlicensed service providers." The bill must also be approved by the House Financial Services Committee before it can be submitted for a full House vote. Earlier on Tuesday, during the debate on the "clarity" bill, some lawmakers expressed concerns that the CFTC needs increased funding and personnel. The CFTC is smaller, with fewer than 1,000 employees, while the SEC has over 4,000 employees. According to Reuters, 600 employees had already left the SEC earlier this year. -Original

5. Bybit Releases Report, Circle's Record IPO May Signal Wave of Crypto Company Listings

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has released the latest edition of the "Bybit Crypto Insights Report," which focuses on Circle Internet's successful initial public offering (IPO) and explores why Wall Street has severely underestimated Circle's valuation, Coinbase's lessons for investors, and which crypto giants are likely to benefit from the emerging IPO wave. The report notes that Circle (NYSE: CRCL), as the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, saw its stock price soar from the IPO price of $31 to a closing price of $107 in its first week of trading, demonstrating strong market demand for crypto stocks. Its stock performance far exceeded Wall Street's expectations and reflects the investment banks' significant underestimation of Circle's valuation potential, highlighting the disruptive nature of cryptocurrencies. As more blockchain and crypto asset-related companies enter the capital markets, traditional valuation methods are being rewritten. "Circle is just the beginning." Additionally, the Bybit report lists six companies preparing for IPOs, including key players like Fireblocks and Chainalysis, with valuations expected to reach billions of dollars. Industry experts point out that the favorable regulatory environment under the new U.S. government creates optimal conditions for crypto companies to enter the public capital markets, and the anticipated wave of crypto IPOs will further establish the legitimacy of the cryptocurrency industry in global finance. -Original
