DashTape reports U.S. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that if the CLEAR Act fails to pass, the blame lies with Democrats for not joining Republicans in supporting the bipartisan legislation. She noted that Democrats' continued demands for amendments could allow future regulators to stifle the crypto industry. If differences can be bridged, the bill could pass, but Democrats would need to make further concessions rather than expecting the White House to give ground. The U.S. Senate is set to hold a procedural vote on the bill next week. The legislation aims to delineate regulatory responsibilities and clarify whether digital assets qualify as securities, commodities, or stablecoins. The bill passed the House last July but was stalled due to a conflict between banking lobbying groups and crypto companies over customer stablecoin yields. A new draft circulated in July prohibits government officials from promoting crypto or profiting from it, and Democrats have criticized the Trump family's involvement in the sector while calling for further revisions.

DashTape reports The city of Plattsburgh, New York, held a public hearing to discuss a temporary land-use moratorium on high-energy computing facilities such as AI data centers and crypto mining. If approved, the moratorium would pause approvals for projects with electricity demand reaching or exceeding 300 kilowatts for a period of 12 months. As of Tuesday, Plattsburgh Mayor Wendell Hughes had not yet approved the moratorium. The City Council is scheduled to meet again on September 17 to continue deliberating on the proposal. Plattsburgh previously implemented an 18-month Bitcoin mining ban in 2018 due to resident concerns over electricity costs. Currently, some crypto mining companies are pivoting toward AI and high-performance computing operations, as the industry faces rising mining difficulty, higher electricity costs, and falling token prices.

DashTape reports Bitcoin treasury company Strategy has listed Nike Air Jordan and Nike Dunk sneakers bearing its own branding on its official web store, both priced at $250. Both pairs of shoes are currently shown as sold out, and they are not official Nike collaboration products. The Strategy store currently only accepts credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, and does not support payment via Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. This payment setup has drawn criticism from social media users, with some pointing out that Bitcoin-themed merchandise cannot be purchased with BTC. Tuesday morning, after the Labor Day market closure, Saylor indicated that Strategy had repurchased $176 million in STRC preferred stock. During the same period, the company has recently paused its Bitcoin purchases, and social media discussions about the sneaker merchandise emerged alongside this development. (Bitcoin.com News)

DashTape reports Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) stated at Bitcoin Asia that Bitcoin may surpass gold in the next bull market, with the current market cap gap between the two standing at approximately 10x. Ricardo Salinas Pliego estimates that if Bitcoin were to reach gold's total market cap, its price could reach approximately $1.86 million. He noted that if Bitcoin becomes a strategic reserve asset for nations, its importance could surpass that of gold; however, central banks and governments have already established systems for valuing, storing, and managing gold, and transitioning to Bitcoin will take time. Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin's 90-day correlation with gold has risen from 0.21 in March to approximately 0.57, while its correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index has fallen from 0.57 to 0.22. Other estimates indicate that its correlation with gold stands at approximately 0.59, the highest level since 2020. (Bitcoin.com News)
