Woofun AI reports that Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, has lowered the probability of the CLARITY Act passing by 2026 from 50% to 30%. Although the final 616-page bill with 104 provisions was released, it lacks sufficient support. On the Republican side, Senators Hawley and Paul are expected to oppose it, while McConnell’s absence leaves only 50 reliable votes, falling short of the 60 needed to overcome filibusters. Democrats also express strong dissent; seven senators cited "deficiencies" in the text, particularly regarding exclusive DOJ enforcement and the 2029 sunset clause, with Elizabeth Warren stating the bill "should be rejected." Thorn identifies July 30 as the critical deadline for advancement, noting that failure to pass before the August 7 recess would significantly reduce the chances of enactment by 2026. As of press time, Polymarket odds for the act becoming law this year stand at 38%.

Woofun AI reports that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang posted his first personal tweet to share an open letter titled "Open Weights and U.S. AI Leadership." The document is co-signed by NVIDIA alongside over 20 technology entities, including Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Andreessen Horowitz, Hugging Face, IBM, Mistral AI, Palantir, Perplexity, Mozilla, and Y Combinator.The letter asserts that open-weight models allow anyone to download, inspect, modify, and run AI on their own infrastructure, thereby expanding access to the AI economy and strengthening market competition. It acknowledges risks associated with open weights but argues against bans, proposing instead that openness enhances AI and network security defenses.

Woofun AI reports that the Blockchain Association, Crypto Council for Innovation, and The Digital Chamber have jointly addressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The associations urge immediate committee hearings on the CLARITY Act, which establishes a federal consumer protection framework for digital assets. The legislation mandates asset segregation, minimum financial resources, and disclosure obligations for intermediaries while granting the CFTC regulatory authority over digital commodity spot markets. The letter emphasizes that nearly 67 million Americans hold digital assets, yet a unified federal framework remains absent. It notes the House passed the bill with bipartisan support last year, including 78 Democratic votes. The associations warn that without clear rules, 88% of global crypto trading volume may shift to non-U.S. exchanges by 2025, with only 19% of developers remaining in the U.S.

The data reveals multiple horizontal support levels emerging below the current price, starting from approximately $62,000, with the most concentrated orders situated around $58,000 and lower.
