Trade.xyz issued a statement regarding the SK Hynix contract price spike incident: On July 27 at 23:01 UTC, the marked price of SK Hynix tokens plummeted from $1,127.9 to $917.25, triggering a large number of long position liquidations. This price originated from an actual transaction captured by multiple independent data providers, with the external venue being a major pre-market in South Korea. Its oracle system operates according to established specifications, synchronously tracking prices from external exchanges, functioning "as designed" on a technical level.However, the platform acknowledges that user dissatisfaction with the liquidations triggered by this event is understandable, emphasizing that "market integrity is the core value of Trade.xyz." To address this, Trade.xyz has decided to cover all liquidation losses caused by this price anomaly on a one-time discretionary basis. Specific eligibility requirements will be announced soon, with compensation expected to be completed within a few days, but it clearly states that this decision "does not constitute a guarantee for similar situations in the future." At the mechanism level, the platform will accelerate the review of pricing methods— including reassessing the assumptions of reliance on external venues and giving greater weight to its own order book price discovery (its order book depth and signal strength have significantly improved compared to external sources) to more effectively handle tail events.

According to Bitcoin.com, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that the CLARITY Act will change the way customer crypto assets are handled when digital asset platforms enter bankruptcy proceedings; customer assets should continue to belong to the customers, rather than being included in the company's bankruptcy estate.The bill requires regulated digital asset intermediaries to treat customer cash and digital assets as customer property and to segregate them from company property. The bill also generally prohibits brokers, dealers, and exchanges from using customer assets for their own or others' benefit without authorization.The bankruptcies of Celsius and Voyager sparked disputes over the ownership of customer deposits. In January 2023, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn ruled that the cryptocurrency deposited in Celsius Earn accounts became company property under the terms of use, involving approximately 600,000 Earn accounts and about $4.2 billion in assets.Lummis stated that the CLARITY Act also aims to provide regulatory certainty for developers, enhance investor protection, and improve market integrity. The bill will clarify the responsibilities of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in different areas of the crypto market, and it has already passed the House of Representatives but has not yet passed the Senate.
