BlockBeats news, January 15, today at a State Council Information Office press conference, People's Bank of China spokesperson and Deputy Governor Zou Lan stated that the interest rates of various structural monetary policy tools have been reduced by 0.25 percentage points. The one-year rate for various relending facilities has been lowered to 1.25%, with interest rates for other terms adjusted accordingly. Structural tools will be improved and further strengthened to support economic structural transformation and optimization.

Zou Lan added that there is still room for both reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts this year. Regarding the statutory reserve requirement ratio, the current average rate for financial institutions is 6.3%, leaving room for further cuts. In terms of policy rates, externally, the RMB exchange rate remains stable, and the US dollar is entering a rate-cutting cycle, so exchange rate constraints are not strong. Internally, since 2025, banks' net interest margin has shown signs of stabilization, and there are large amounts of 3-year and 5-year term deposits maturing in 2026. This reduction in structural monetary policy tool rates will help lower banks' interest expenses, stabilize the net interest margin, and create space for further rate cuts.

Original Title: (CLARITY Bill's Review Suddenly Postponed—Why Is the Industry So Divided?)

Original Author: Azuma, Odaily Galaxy Daily

Beijing Time January 15, the cryptocurrency market structure bill (CLARITY), which was set to undergo its first Senate review, suddenly faced a twist—longtime tracker of cryptocurrency legislation in the U.S., journalist Eleanor Terrett, revealed that due to Coinbase's sudden opposition to CLARITY, which triggered market controversy, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee has canceled the originally scheduled CLARITY markup hearing set for 10:00 AM EST on January 15 (11:00 PM Beijing Time). The new review date has not yet been determined.

BlockBeats news, January 15, the Senate Banking Committee has canceled the originally scheduled (CLARITY Act) (Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act) revision hearing on Thursday. According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, in addition to Coinbase leading the withdrawal of support for the draft bill, industry discontent erupted fully on Wednesday. They complained that lawmakers made excessive concessions to banks and traditional financial institutions after introducing amendments to a 278-page bill, particularly regarding stablecoin yields and tokenization.

Critics argue that the (CLARITY Act) itself already favors traditional institutions. Meanwhile, some Democrats insist on including ethical guidelines for senior government officials, including the president, banning them from profiting from cryptocurrency projects. This issue has previously led to repeated stalemates between Democrats and the White House.

BlockBeats news, January 15, a16z crypto managing partner Chris Dixon said that cryptocurrency developers need clear rules. Over the past five years, Republicans, Democrats, and the Trump administration have closely collaborated with members of the cryptocurrency industry to protect decentralization, support developers, and provide fair opportunities for entrepreneurs. Fundamentally, the (Clarity Act) (Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act) is legislation aimed at achieving this goal. It is not perfect and requires some revisions before it becomes law. But if we want the United States to continue being the best place globally for building the future of cryptocurrency, now is the optimal time to advance the (Clarity Act).

The deities I believe in have all transformed into cute stuffed dolls.

During the peak winter skiing season in Hokkaido, I pray to the little deity of snowfall – the 'Frowny Cloud'. Local climate patterns dictate that during the best part of the snow season, snow falls almost non-stop day and night, and you hardly ever see the sun. Fortunately, I also pray to the God of Vitamins – a soft and adorable little pony doll – who grants me vitamin D3 supplements and other blessings.
