The Clarity Act, which would establish a regulatory framework for the digital asset industry, is facing a critical legislative window. U.S. bipartisan negotiations have yet to reach consensus on key issues including government officials’ ethics rules and illegal finance. If the bill fails to advance before the August congressional recess, there will be almost no legislative window before the midterm elections, potentially sending the legislative process back to square one. Currently, Republican leadership aims to push for consideration during the week of July 20, but it needs at least seven Democratic senators’ support to pass.

A miner using a Bitaxe ASIC miner with just a single chip and a hash rate of approximately 1 TH/s successfully mined Bitcoin block 957,382 yesterday, claiming the full block reward of 3.1382 BTC worth roughly $200,000. The device was operated without overclocking, mining via the zero-fee Public Pool, retaining 100% of the block subsidy and transaction fees. Its valid share difficulty hit 294.14T, more than double the 133.87T required to solve the block. Estimated at a 1 TH/s hash rate, it would take an average of around 16,000 years to mine one block. This event is extremely rare, yet the miner’s daily odds of winning are still about 53 times higher than winning the lottery.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back and Strategy founder Michael Saylor have both published statements opposing the BIP 110 proposal. Adam Back stated that BIP 110 essentially attempts to constrain others’ behavior via consensus-layer measures, which contradicts Bitcoin’s core attributes of decentralization and permissionlessness. Bitcoin’s technical consensus mechanism is itself an efficient immune system; any change not rigorously vetted by hundreds of developers cannot pass. He called on BIP 110 supporters to deeply understand Bitcoin’s operational logic rather than initiating a separate fork. In contrast, Michael Saylor noted that BIP 110 elevates a spam debate to a consensus change that could invalidate some currently valid transactions, and this precedent itself is the real risk. BIP 110 is a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) designed to modify the default relay policy to filter or restrict specific types of data embedded in on-chain transactions, such as OP_RETURN outputs. Its supporters argue that this move will help curb the proliferation of on-chain spam.
