Senator: Without the ethics clause, the Senate would not have passed the crypto bill
Odaily Planet Daily News Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said at the Consensus conference that if the legislation on the structure of the cryptocurrency market does not contain ethics provisions, the bill will not be voted on. Gillibrand pointed out that members of Congress, senior government officials, and presidents must be prohibited from using their internal identities to profit from the crypto industry. Currently, several Democratic senators have expressed concern about the crypto ties between US President Trump and his family, with Bloomberg estimating that Trump has made at least $1.4 billion in profits from crypto ventures. The bill was previously blocked in the Senate due to the handling of stablecoin rewards, but the ethics clause has become a new obstacle. Gillibrand said it is working with the White House and bipartisan parties to ensure inclusion and promote the inclusion of consumer protection and counterterrorism financing provisions, and the bill is expected to be passed before the August recess.

Before SpaceX's listing, the agency urged the SEC to investigate its financial situation
Odaily Planet Daily News Consulting firm SOC Investment Group is urging the U.S. SEC to investigate SpaceX's financial situation before it goes public, and the listing may be valued at more than $2 trillion. The agency said the relationship between SpaceX and other Musk-owned businesses is worrying. According to a letter to the SEC dated May 6, the SOC asked the SEC to review the accuracy and reliability of SpaceX's financial disclosures and ensure that SpaceX's auditors maintain independence. The SOC also urged the SEC to focus on reviewing the accounting treatment of transactions between SpaceX and Musk's other companies. "We are particularly concerned that SpaceX's IPO will expose a significant number of investors to a company whose value may decline after its financial disclosures are independently reviewed and verified," the letter read.

Glassnode: BTC breaks through key cost zone, $85,000 becomes the next key resistance level
According to ChainCatcher news, Glassnode's latest report pointed out that Bitcoin has broken through the real market average ($78,200) and short-term holder cost price ($79,100), and if it can continue to stand in the above range in the coming week, the "deep value phase" since 2026 may become the shortest duration in Bitcoin's history.
The next key resistance level in the market is currently located at around $85,200. On-chain data shows that the 30-day net realized profit and loss average has turned positive to 0.003% of market capitalization, and the realized profit of long-term holders has risen to $180 million per day, but it is still significantly lower than the level of more than $1 billion at the peak of this cycle.
However, the market's realized losses are still as high as $479 million per day, which is 140% higher than the stable range of the current cycle. Glassnode believes that a sustained fall below $200 million is needed to confirm a healthier demand recovery.
On the funding side, the 30-day net inflow of US spot Bitcoin ETFs has turned positive, indicating that institutional demand is recovering. At the same time, the funding rate of perpetual contracts remains negative during the rise, indicating that the short position in the market is still heavy, and if the bears continue to be squeezed, it may further promote the rise.
Additionally, there is a "Short Gamma" position aggregation zone of approximately $2 billion around $82,000, where market maker hedging behavior can amplify price volatility. Glassnode believes that the overall trend of Bitcoin is still strong, but the market has entered a more sensitive phase, and if there is no sustained spot buying support, there may be significant selling pressure around $85,000.

Lawyers characterize Aave's hack by North Korea as fraud to maintain a $71 million asset freeze
ChainCatcher reported that North Korea's victim lawyers tried to redefine the rsETH attack on Aave as "fraud" rather than "theft" before a hearing in federal court in Manhattan to maintain a freeze order on $71 million worth of ETH.
The lawyer argued that the attackers used worthless collateral to borrow assets and not repay them, which were fraudulent loan transactions aimed at using these frozen assets to repay terrorism judgment compensation under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act. Previously, hackers associated with Lazarus Group minted unsecured rsETH through a cross-chain bridge vulnerability and lent approximately $230 million in assets on Aave, of which $71 million was intercepted by Arbitrum developers. The victim's lawyers also challenged Aave's defense, stating that its terms of service state that it has no control over user assets. Additionally, DeFi United has raised $327 million, surpassing the amount of this dispute.
