The discussion of the US "CLARITY Act" has sparked a debate between the banking industry and White House crypto policy officials. Christopher Williston VI, President of the Independent Bankers Association of Texas, stated that compromise would undermine local lending and economic productivity, and refused to back down on the issue of local economic liquidity. Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Digital Assets Advisory Council, responded that failing to set limits on stablecoin incentives for intermediaries could lead to catastrophic consequences, and criticized the banking industry's logic regarding "deposit outflows."

According to Odaily, the U.S. February employment report showed a decrease of 92,000 jobs, while economists had previously predicted an increase of 50,000 jobs. Isaac Stell, investment manager at Wealth Club, stated that the Federal Reserve is currently facing more complex policy challenges, as the U.S. strike against Iran has driven up oil prices and intensified inflation concerns. Goldman Sachs analysts predict that oil prices could break through $100 per barrel, while JPMorgan researchers warn that oil prices could reach $120 per barrel. According to data from the CME FedWatch tool, traders are currently pricing in nearly a 50% probability of a Federal Reserve rate cut in June. Amid the decline in jobs, Oracle and Block have successively announced layoffs. Block CEO Jack Dorsey attributed a 40% staff reduction to the company's AI transformation, stating that smaller teams can accomplish more with the help of AI tools. Amazon has also announced layoff plans. Brad Conger, Chief Investment Officer at Hirtle Callaghan, said that the February employment report continues the trend of a weakening labor market since last year. Block's 40% layoffs are a signal of redundancy in the economy. AI is not replacing jobs, but rather, layoffs are providing funding for AI expenditures.
