Odaily Planet Daily reports that U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, the senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, has called for a halt to the application for a U.S. national trust banking license related to World Liberty Trust Co. until Donald Trump divests his family's stake in the related digital asset business. Warren has reportedly written to Jonathan Gould, the Director of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, requesting a delay in the application process while Trump still holds a stake. She points out that if the application is approved, the rules set by regulators could directly impact the profitability of presidential-related businesses, posing a serious conflict of interest. Warren stated that Congress failed to address such issues when passing the GENIUS Act, and therefore the Senate has a responsibility to address these conflicts when considering legislation on the crypto market structure. The Senate Banking Committee is about to hold hearings on the relevant bill, but the latest leaked draft does not yet include the government ethics clauses previously demanded by Democrats.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan stated in an article on the X platform that if ETF demand continues in the long term, the price of BTC will enter a parabolic growth phase. Hougan cited the 65% increase in gold prices in 2025 as an example, pointing out that the prices of both gold and BTC are determined by supply and demand. After the US seized Russian government bonds in 2022, central banks' annual gold purchases increased from approximately 500 tons to approximately 1000 tons and remained stable. This demand altered the supply-demand balance, but it wasn't immediately reflected in prices. Gold prices rose 2% in 2022, 13% in 2023, and 27% in 2024, only experiencing parabolic growth in 2025. This is because the demand in the preceding years was met by holders willing to sell gold; when selling pressure was exhausted and demand persisted, prices surged. A similar situation exists for BTC and ETFs. Since the ETF's debut in January 2024, its purchases have exceeded 100% of the new BTC supply. The price has not yet entered a parabolic phase due to existing holders' willingness to sell. If ETF demand continues, the selling pressure from existing sellers will eventually be exhausted.
