Regulatory/Macro
According to Decrypt, the California House of Representatives passed AB-1052 with 78 votes in favor and 0 votes against, proposing to treat crypto assets with no operation records within three years as unclaimed property and to be managed by the state government. The bill clearly states that the assets will not be liquidated and will still be kept by a third party in encrypted form, and users can claim them at any time. Supporters say that this mechanism is similar to traditional unclaimed property laws and is intended to protect the security of user assets; critics worry that it violates the privacy and self-custody spirit of Bitcoin. The draft bill will now be submitted to the California Senate and may be further revised.

Trump: Debt ceiling should be completely lifted to avoid economic disaster
U.S. President Trump posted on social media: "I am very pleased to announce that after so many years, I have finally reached a consensus with U.S. Democratic Senator Warren on something: the debt ceiling should be completely abolished to avoid an economic disaster. It is too dangerous to leave it in the hands of politicians - even if this may have a terrible impact on our country (and even indirectly on the world), there are still politicians who want to use the debt ceiling for political gain. As for Senator Warren’s second statement on $4 trillion, I also like it, but it must be done in the shortest possible time. Let us work together with the Republicans and Democrats to get this done!"
