Wu Shuo learned that cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett disclosed that four law enforcement organizations expressed concerns about certain provisions of the CLARITY Act in a joint letter to U.S. government officials, including Section 604, the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA). The relevant organizations believe that this section could create loopholes in regulation and accountability mechanisms, thereby affecting investigations and prosecutions of illegal activities. At the same time, they pointed out that the bill still falls short in establishing regulatory safeguards similar to those applicable to traditional financial institutions, leading some participants in the crypto market to be exempt from certain KYC and anti-money laundering (AML) reporting requirements. It is reported that this controversy has become one of the core disagreements in the bill's progression to the Senate for review.

CryptoWorld News reports that BlackRock has filed to list its Bitcoin Income Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) on the Nasdaq, expected to launch next week. BlackRock submitted Form 8-A on Thursday, which is usually one of the final steps before an ETF listing. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said this typically indicates a launch within a week, with the fund (ticker: BITA) expected to begin trading on June 18. BlackRock's fund will generate income by selling call options on its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which is the largest spot Bitcoin ETF with $49 billion in assets under management. The fund plans to charge a 0.65% fee, lower than the 0.95% and 0.99% fees of the two largest covered call Bitcoin funds.

CoinWorld News reports that the crypto venture capital firm Variant has raised $222 million for its new fund, Variant 4, with plans to invest in early-stage companies, focusing on artificial intelligence, encryption, and "autonomy."

He defined "autonomy" as applications that give users more control, including permissionless financial, encryption, and smart agent applications. He also pointed out that encryption is infrastructure rather than a product, serving as the underlying channel supporting more products, and that growth is just beginning.

CryptoWorld News: Perplexity has announced the introduction of a hybrid edge-cloud inference architecture for its desktop intelligent agent environment, Perplexity Computer. The system can automatically identify task types and privacy sensitivities, routing computation to local devices or cloud-based large models. It is expected to launch first on Intel and NVIDIA RTX Spark hardware in July 2026. With hybrid inference, tasks such as privacy scanning and personal identity information filtering are handled by local models, ensuring sensitive data does not leave the device, while complex reasoning and search tasks are offloaded to cutting-edge cloud models. In the official demo video, the local sub-agent actively intercepts after detecting sensitive files and only sends desensitized instructions to the cloud. The new architecture expands decision-making from choosing a model to determining where the computation takes place. Perplexity plans to integrate local and cloud computing power, running low-cost tasks locally, only to offload expensive tasks to the cloud.
