According to POLITICO Pro, U.S. President Trump held a closed-door meeting with advisors on Friday regarding the ethical provisions for government officials in the Senate's proposed cryptocurrency bill, the Clarity Act. The bill is set for a crucial procedural vote in the Senate next Tuesday, with Senate Democrats demanding the inclusion of ethical constraints applicable to government officials to limit Trump's ability to profit from his family's cryptocurrency business. It is currently unclear who attended the meeting with Trump and what the conclusions were.Trump's senior cryptocurrency policy advisor Patrick Witt posted a positive signal on X on Saturday, stating, "Today is a bad day for the naysayers of the Clarity Act."The ethical provisions have been one of the key obstacles the Clarity Act faces in the Senate, with significant bipartisan disagreements over whether enforcement authority should be led by the Department of Justice or state attorneys general. The procedural vote next Tuesday will test whether the two parties can reach a compromise on this core dispute before the Senate recesses.

According to the disclosure by Family Office New Intelligence, data service provider FINTRX tracking shows that in August, family offices participated in a total of 109 transactions, with the total disclosed financing amount reaching 16.9 billion USD. Among these, follow-on financing rounds, where family offices continued to invest in companies they already hold, accounted for 27% of the transaction count. This indicates that, compared to continuing to invest in existing projects, family offices are more active in seeking and investing in new projects. The most active institution in August was a16z Perennial.a16z Perennial was established in 2022 and is a joint family office under the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, providing wealth management and investment services for its core partners Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, as well as the entrepreneurs they support. As of the end of 2025, a16z Perennial manages approximately 2.74 billion USD in regulated assets. In August, a16z Perennial participated in a total of 17 transactions, ranking first; the total disclosed scale of the related financing rounds reached approximately 10.45 billion USD.Ranking second is YZi Labs, founded by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. YZi Labs manages over 10 billion USD in assets globally, with investment coverage including Web3, artificial intelligence, and healthcare, and invests in startups at various stages of development. In August, YZi Labs participated in 10 transactions, second only to a16z Perennial; however, the total scale of the financing rounds involved in these transactions was 42.1 million USD, largely appearing in large financing rounds of several hundred million or even several billion USD.It should be noted that the amounts mentioned above refer to the total financing scale of all investors in the related financing rounds, rather than the actual investment amount of the family offices themselves. Due to the strong privacy of family office investments, it is usually difficult to obtain the specific investment amount of a single family office in each transaction.

On Wednesday, the stock price of Nasdaq-listed company Farmmi surged from Tuesday's closing price of $0.1187 to a high of $0.5, with an intraday increase of about 321%. The trigger was a Memecoin named after the mushroom varieties in the company's annual report (Money Mushroom, code JINQIAN) starting to trade against its so-called "tokenized stock" FAMI on the Robinhood Chain.However, on-chain data shows that FAMI is not an official stock token from Robinhood: its total supply of 37,430,000 tokens (close to the total number of Farmmi's circulating shares) was generated in a one-time minting during the creation of the trade, with the deploying wallet retaining 38% and deploying a contract named PoolRepricer to manage the price itself, with no further changes to the supply thereafter. This token has no issuer, no redemption mechanism, and is completely unrelated to real Farmmi stock. In contrast, the official stock tokens from Robinhood are issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited, and only authorized participants can subscribe and redeem.In terms of market performance, FAMI reached a high of $1.83 in the USDG pool, and as of 2:28 p.m., it was priced at $0.2135, a 45% premium over the stock price, with a total trading volume in the related pool reaching $131.4 million; the trading volume of JINQIAN against the FAMI pool was about $92 million, and at least 10 more Memecoins were launched within the following 30 minutes.

According to GMGN market data, the Meme coin FAMI on the RRobinhood chain briefly surpassed a market capitalization of 30 million USD, setting a historical high, currently reported at 29.5 million USD, with a transaction volume reaching 35.1 million USD.The token name directly corresponds to Farmmi, Inc. listed on NASDAQ (stock ticker FAMI), and belongs to the common meme coin theme on the Robinhood chain.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal citing informed sources, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, is the backer behind StringZ Holding RSC, which holds a 49% stake in WLTC Holdings, the parent company of World Liberty Financial, associated with the Trump family, which is proposing a U.S. trust bank. It is said that entities linked to the Trump family hold an additional 38% stake in the company.The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) granted preliminary conditional approval to World Liberty Trust Company on August 14. The decision announced by the OCC confirms that StringZ is an investor in WLTC Holdings and has signed a commitment not to interfere with the bank, but does not specify Tahnoon as its backer or disclose his shareholding percentage. The trust bank must meet OCC's pre-operational requirements and obtain final approval before it can begin operations.Tahnoon previously supported the acquisition of a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500 million, prompting U.S. Democratic senators to call for hearings on the deal and investigate whether it affects U.S. policy towards the UAE.

According to Cointelegraph, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has officially proposed the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act, which aims to establish a new government agency dedicated to addressing corruption at the federal level. The bill specifically names Trump, citing his disclosed investment earnings of over $2 billion in 2025 (of which $1.4 billion is related to cryptocurrency), as well as his family's holdings in cryptocurrency funds linked to foreign governments totaling over $1 billion.The proposed agency will consist of 7 bipartisan members, who will take office upon confirmation by the Senate, and will have "substantive powers" to investigate, enforce, and prevent administrative corruption, integrating the Federal Election Commission, the Office of Government Ethics, and the Office of Special Counsel under one roof. Senators Andy Kim, Alex Padilla, and Jeff Merkley jointly proposed the measure. White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly responded that Trump's investments "are held in a fully managed account by an independent third-party financial institution, with no conflicts of interest."
