Senate Majority Leader John Thune is planning a vote on President Donald Trumpβs landmark crypto market structure legislation as soon as next week.
The final working draft of the Clarity Act has emerged days after talks with President Donald Trump led to a deal on how Republicans would address the effort's biggest remaining hurdle.
The Senate is expected to need at least 10 Democrats to approve the final bill before it can become law, because of the chamber's requirement for 60 yes votes on most legislation.

Investors looking for the next AI trade should consider blockchain networks and crypto assets as autonomous AI agents begin transacting with one another, according to Franklin Templeton's Sandy Kaul.
Enabling machine-to-machine transactions requires secure, autonomous, verifiable, and high throughput record-keeping. Legacy credit card and banking infrastructures are unsuited for agentic micropayments due to their fee structures.
Agentic AI will likely need to rely on crypto technologies and blockchains to enable their activities as these rails are ideally suited for these use cases.
β Autonomous Contract Creation / Fulfillment;
β Decentralized Identity Verification;
β Auditability;
β Access to Decentralized Computing & Data;
β Speed and Fulfillment.
Unlike generative AI, which creates text, images or code in response to prompts, agentic AI is built to complete tasks with little human input.
That shift is already beginning.

On-chain payments have reached a point where fintech teams can treat public blockchains as settlement infrastructure.
The harder question now is whether those flows can support regulated business activity. Fintech companies cannot move serious payment volume on public rails if every transfer exposes counterparties, amounts, timing, and operating patterns. Regulated markets also require identity checks, audit access, and reporting.
Arcane Finance is building that privacy and compliance layer on Stellar, so payment companies can use shared settlement rails without exposing sensitive business data by default.

The US will reconfigure its annual federal R&D budget of around US$200 billion away from funding colleges and βlegacy institutionsβ and towards individual scientists instead, in pursuit of faster and more βagileβ new research organisations with AI as a core focus, the report said.
We need new paradigms for the research enterprise, including innovative models for funding and sharing scientific research, redefining how America conducts the business of discovery. We must build an ecosystem that attracts top talent, celebrates merit, protects our intellectual edge, and enables scientists to focus on meaningful work rather than administrative box checking.
Our federal agencies distribute approximately $200 billion in annual R&D funding. Yet we have no systematic framework for identifying where those dollars could catalyze the greatest scientific returns, with deference instead given to the same incumbents that consume the funding.
Driving meaningful improvements in our portfolio allocation will require a coordinated effort, but it is not impossible. We already have proof that bold models can dramatically accelerate progress and deliver new scientific opportunities for our researchers.
According to a memo accompanying the report, US federal departments and agencies are instructed to submit an action plan within 90 days outlining the steps they will take to implement the reportβs recommendations.

Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon is throwing his weight behind a landmark crypto bill that would establish a new regulatory framework for digital asset markets, giving the measure a powerful line of support on Wall Street as other top bankers rally against key provisions.
βThe Clarity Act β like all legislation β is not perfect. And there are lots of things that you could debate and argue about. But I think one of the most important things that it does is that it creates a level playing field to enhance market stability and allow these markets to develop appropriately,β Solomon said in an interview.
βIβm very supportive of moving the Clarity Act forward, so we can get some market structure in place and start to move the innovation process along,β he said.
