According to Odaily Planet Daily, BitcoinTreasuries.NET published an article on the X platform stating that the Brazilian listed company OranjeBTC (OBTC3) has increased its holdings by 30 Bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to 3,948 BTC, ranking 23rd in the Bitcoin 100.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Blockchain Association, a US crypto industry organization, sent a letter on Monday to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, refuting previous criticisms of the Clarity Act by the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA), stating that the latter misunderstood the bill's design for DeFi regulation. Last week, the NSA wrote to Senate leadership, arguing that the Clarity Act's exemptions for DeFi regarding anti-money laundering, sanctions compliance, and KYC rules were too lenient, potentially making it more difficult for law enforcement to combat financial crime. Representing over 3,000 sheriffs and 10,000 public safety officials, the NSA's stance exacerbated the controversy surrounding the bill before its passage through the Senate. The Blockchain Association, however, stated that the Clarity Act does not grant the crypto industry "complete exemptions," but rather imposes strict obligations on intermediaries while providing law enforcement with tools to combat financial crime. The organization's Chief Policy Officer, Lindsay Fraser, stated that it was necessary to correct misunderstandings surrounding the bill as the Senate vote approached.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, citing foreign media reports, Brazil's oil production hit a record high in June as increased supply from producers far from the Middle East alleviated the supply disruptions caused by the war in Iran. Data from Brazil's National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels (ANP) shows that Brazil's crude oil production in June increased by approximately 19% year-on-year, reaching 4.5 million barrels per day, an increase of about 4% compared to May. Total oil and gas production reached 5.8 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Increased production from Brazil and other producing countries helped fill the gap left by reduced exports from the Middle East. Brazil's state-owned Petrobras led the way in increasing production. The company is striving to extract as much crude oil as possible from its oil fields and pushing offshore platforms in Búzios and other deepwater fields to exceed their designed capacity. According to ANP data, oil fields operated by Petrobras account for approximately 87% of Brazil's total oil production. (Jinshi)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Venezuelan oil exports plummeted in July as Middle Eastern crude oil supplies, previously strained by the Iranian conflict, returned to the market following a temporary truce, while Indian demand weakened. Shipping reports, Kpler data, and foreign media tracking of ship activity showed that Venezuelan crude oil shipments fell to 856,000 barrels per day last month, the lowest level in five months and a 25% decrease from June. Exports to India halved. As the conflict with Iran entered its sixth month, supply chain adjustments and the use of alternative shipping routes mitigated the initial shock to global energy flows. Oil prices fell after Trump canceled plans to attack Iran on Monday to push for continued peace talks. The United States and India remain the largest buyers of Venezuelan crude oil. (Jinshi)
