According to BlockBeats, on July 22, shareholders of Satsuma, a UK-based Bitcoin treasury company, approved the sale of 668 Bitcoins and initiated delisting procedures. The company will sell all 668 Bitcoins, with delisting expected to be completed on September 14, 2026, and payment and CREST transfer to be completed on September 28.

Satsuma's Bitcoin reserve strategy lasted less than a year. It had previously raised $218 million through convertible notes and subsequently sold some of its Bitcoin to repay holders of the outstanding notes. As of April this year, the company's stock price had fallen by more than 99% from its peak.

According to BlockBeats, on July 22, Ethereum Improvement Proposal EIP-8222 proposes to improve the on-chain privacy of institutional stakers by weakening the traceable link between staking deposit addresses, validators, and withdrawal credentials through a STARK-based cryptographic scheme.

Digital asset bank Sygnum Bank stated that this move could help attract more institutions to participate in staking, but it could also lead to higher execution costs, slower asset handling processes, and additional compliance and auditing requirements. The proposal is currently still under discussion, and a launch date has not yet been determined.

According to BlockBeats, on July 22, multiple sources revealed that Trump's signed crypto ethics clause would prohibit federal officials, including members of Congress, the president, and the vice president, from issuing digital assets, and would designate the Department of Justice as the chief enforcement agency for the clause, rather than state attorneys general. This arrangement could become a new point of contention in advancing the CLARITY Act—Democrats have consistently argued that states should have some enforcement powers. Maryland Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks, one of the bill's key negotiators, publicly stated earlier on Tuesday: "The Department of Justice enforcing the ethics clause? This is not a serious proposal. If it's worded like that, I will not support the bill." Her concerns about enforcement powers directly target Trump's personal Memecoin and his family company, World Liberty Financial.

Ethics provisions have been the final hurdle facing the Clarity Act for months, after overcoming numerous obstacles. Patrick Witt, senior White House advisor on crypto affairs, revealed details of the ethics wording during an industry conference call Tuesday afternoon. The White House did not confirm the specific text, but an official in an email blamed the potential impasse on Democrats: "If Senate Democrats block this historic legislation after the administration has done everything it can to accommodate their concerns, industry players should recognize that it is the Democrats who are hindering the bill's progress because they have never taken legislative achievements seriously." Negotiations are currently continuing based on the current version, and whether an agreement can be reached before the Senate adjourns remains uncertain.
