BitMine, the largest Ethereum treasury, Chairman Tom Lee cited his own previous interview, stating that artificial intelligence is approaching the "wealth uncanny valley". At a future stage, the income generated by an individual’s AI agent could exceed that from their own labor. When this moment arrives, people may begin to question whether they are working for AI or AI for them. AI agents could take over bank accounts, replace some jobs, and even build independent financial systems. Tom Lee admitted that this trend "might make people fear the future".

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has explicitly voiced support for advancing the CLARITY Act in an interview, while acknowledging the legislation is not perfect. "Like all legislation, the CLARITY Act has many areas open to debate and discussion, but I think one of the most important things it does is create a level playing field to enhance market stability and enable these markets to develop properly. I strongly support advancing the CLARITY Act so that we can establish market structures and kickstart the innovation process." Solomon’s endorsement comes as Republican senators are discussing an updated version of the bill, with a possible full Senate vote next week, marking another step forward for the long-awaited crypto market structure legislation. His supportive stance stands in sharp contrast to fierce opposition from fellow banking executives including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. Dimon said in May that the latest bill version "allows them to effectively pay interest on things like deposits and stablecoins without necessary protections," warning "banks will not accept this approach, and it will eventually blow up." JPMorgan also argued in a June blog post that companies offering products with functions similar to traditional bank accounts should be subject to equivalent regulation and consumer protection rules. The core of the controversy revolves around the stablecoin interest provisions.
