This week was originally a heavyweight moment for the crypto market. The CLARITY Act, as a regulatory-friendly proposal anticipated by the industry, was once seen as a positive signal, and mainstream assets like $BTC $ETH $SOL also responded.

But the situation quickly changed. A leading compliant platform suddenly changed its stance and raised strong doubts about the revised version of the bill. They pointed out that after multiple rounds of amendments, the document is evolving in a direction more favorable to traditional banks and financial institutions, while native innovative companies in the crypto space are being increasingly constrained by harsher terms.

What appears to be a friendly policy framework is actually turning into a moat for traditional financial forces. For crypto industry practitioners, this is undoubtedly a wake-up call.

Is this the same old story? Regulatory authorities are like this—sweet talk first, then strike hard. --- Traditional finance just doesn’t want us to survive. This bill keeps changing to trap new forces. --- Wait, those big platforms are only reacting now? They should have seen through it long ago. --- That’s why I say we can’t trust any official promises; they’re all driven by interests. --- The crypto world got stabbed in the back again. Laughable, this script has been played out so many times. --- Bill becoming a moat? It’s totally helping traditional finance to harvest us. --- A major platform suddenly changes tone... talk about being late, why didn’t they do this earlier? --- So, this good news is gone just like that? Does that mean I should give up on my BTC bullish outlook? --- That’s politics for you—playing both sides. Anyway, the ones always losing out are us, the grassroots. --- The true nature of the CLARITY bill has been exposed. Did they really think it could coexist peacefully?

Is this another trick? I really thought they could loosen the restrictions for us, but it turns out traditional financial players still cut a wave of leeks. --- This is outrageous. I was hoping to catch a breath, but now the more the terms are changed, the tighter they become. --- Wait, even the leading platforms are starting to shift blame, what does that mean... our group is about to be roasted over the fire again. --- From miners to farmers, it now seems we are just laborers working the land for banking groups, how ironic. --- So that surge was just a false alarm? Damn, this bill is hilarious, surface-level benefits hide the blades sharpening even faster. --- Here's the problem: if even the top platforms turn against us, how are we grassroots players supposed to play? Should we still continue HODLing? --- Moat... sounds nice, but actually it just pushes us to dead ends, allowing big capital to monopolize everything.

Here we go again? The promised friendly regulation results are still being cut by traditional finance. --- I knew it, these politicians ultimately side with traditional finance. --- CLARITY keeps changing back and forth, in the end just paving the way for banks. We small retail investors can only wish for the best. --- The fact that leading platforms are changing their stance means nothing is finalized yet, it's still early. --- Really incredible, I was optimistic about the outcome, and the slap in the face came so quickly? --- So now should I continue to HODL or think about risk hedging? --- That's why I've always said don't trust policy benefits too much; what's on paper is the most unreliable. --- The old foxes in traditional finance are still playing the same tricks. Just putting on a regulatory mask to try to deceive us. --- Finally, a leading platform has come out and told the truth. Why is no one else speaking up? --- Reminds me, the last SEC incident was the same way. In the end, retail investors got the worst of it. --- Friendly regulation? Ha, that's a really funny joke.

Here we go again with this set? Policies keep changing, and in the end, traditional finance benefits the most. We are being sidelined... This is the fate of the crypto world.

I see through it now, it's the same old trick again—superficially friendly but secretly squeezing us to death. Traditional finance is all about playing this game. Policy changes, changes, changes—ultimately all in their favor, and we are sidelined. This is the real regulatory trap. I should have seen through it long ago.
