According to Huoxun Finance, Andrei Grachev, co-founder of DWF Labs, stated on Twitter that the current market is in a "very boring" phase—most participants are tweeting, making memes, or discussing philosophy, but truly valuable actions (such as fundraising, trading, investing, and business expansion) are proceeding quietly. He pointed out that in this environment, large projects, exchanges, and companies find it difficult to launch new listings or make major announcements because high-profile actions are ineffective at this time. He advised investors to remain patient and wait for a better opportunity. Grachev emphasized that the market is not dead, and now is a good opportunity to do "boring things," such as holding Bitcoin long-term or participating in altcoin speculation (the final choice is up to the individual, but most people still engage in buying high and selling low). He concluded that there is still much to do as a builder or investor, and small retail investors should keep learning, avoid being overly emotional in the market, and enjoy the market they have chosen to enter.

According to Huoxun Finance, Ron Hammond, Head of Policy at crypto market maker Windemute, stated that the legislative process for the Clarity Act, the US crypto market structure bill, remains hampered by multiple factors, with a roughly 30% chance of passing this year. The bill aims to clarify the division of responsibilities between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in regulating digital assets, but current negotiations are uneven, with the timeline repeatedly delayed. Legislative obstacles primarily stem from traditional banking institutions, particularly regarding the significant disagreement over whether stablecoins should offer yields, with related compromises repeatedly stalled. Furthermore, internal divisions within the Democratic Party, coupled with issues such as DeFi compliance and anti-money laundering, have added uncertainty to the bill's progress. However, Ron Hammond believes there is still room for the bill to advance, but whether it can be passed this year depends on whether key disagreements can be resolved.
