Jinse Finance reported that U.S. House Minority Leader Jeffries (Democrat) said on Monday that Trump has not allowed House Speaker Johnson and other Republicans to begin negotiations on the government shutdown issue. The government shutdown has now entered its 13th day. Jeffries said, "The reason Speaker Johnson and I have not met is because Trump has not given them permission. We know that until Trump allows them to meet, they will continue to avoid and remain silent on the issue of sitting down to negotiate a bipartisan agreement." Earlier the same day, Johnson stated that if Democrats do not accept the temporary funding bill supported by Republicans, this shutdown could become the longest in U.S. history, surpassing the 35-day shutdown from 2018 to 2019. Johnson said, "Republicans are eager to return to the real negotiating table, complete the full-year appropriations, and address other matters before us. But we will not negotiate in back rooms, nor will we negotiate while being held hostage."

Jinse Finance reported that the privacy-focused crypto project Privacy Pools, developed by the 0xbow team, has launched the "Proof of Association" tool for Tornado Cash. This tool allows Tornado Cash users to dissociate their funds from illegal activities while maintaining anonymity. The system uses zero-knowledge technology to verify whether a withdrawal address is linked to known illicit addresses and records legitimate users in a public registry without exposing personal information. Currently, the blacklist has flagged more than 16,000 addresses involved in theft, hacking, or phishing. The team stated that this is an important step toward balancing user privacy and regulatory compliance, and also provides a practical model for future interoperability between privacy and compliance.
