Eleanor Terrett reports seven Senate Democrats including Gillibrand, Warner, Gallego, and Alsobrooks say they're "committed to working in a bipartisan fashion" to pass the CLARITY Act. Early efforts are underway to restart talks and get the bill passed before year end.

Check out this full Feature film "Eleanor Quinn and the Buried Truth" made by one of the Grok Community members, Peter Cavallo. He used only Grok for the video and dialogue and some sound effects, and added his own musical score on top. Peter said: "It's a fictional historical drama set in the 1850's. I composed the music myself. All the clips were made using Image to video using prompts to bring each scene alive. This was the best way to keep consistency. I also used the references for the characters to maintain consistency with faces. I managed to get pretty close, but I'm fairly happy with it. Grok was great except when the quality dropped or my limit ran out then I just had to wait for it to get better then go again. All up it took 3 months using Super Grok Heavy. All clips were upscaled to 1080. This was before the new 1080 enhancement. Let me know what you think here's the link" Awesome job Peter! @elonmusk @SpaceXAI

PROTECTIONS FOR DEVELOPERS FINAL ROADBLOCK FOR CLARITY ACT @EleanorTerrett reports bipartisan Senate negotiations over the Clarity Act reportedly ended last night without a deal. Sen. Cynthia Lummis says lawmakers have agreement on “99%” of the bill, but disputes over BRCA protections for non-custodial developers and ethics provisions tied to the First Family remain unresolved ahead of tomorrow’s Banking Committee markup. Coin Center drew a red line, warning it will not support a stripped-down BRCA proposal and calling the vote a “with us or against us moment” for developer rights. As of now, expectations are the markup will proceed on a partisan basis with Democrats holding out.

SEC's Best-Known Crypto Advocate Hester Peirce to Step Down According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce will leave the agency on October 2 after nearly nine years of service.

SEC’s Tokenization “Innovation Exemption” Plan Further Delayed According to crypto reporter Eleanor Terrett, the SEC’s tokenization “innovation exemption” has been delayed again, with details unlikely to be released soon. Sources said the delay may be linked to ongoing negotiations over the tokenization provisions in Section 10505 of the Clarity Act. Moving ahead with the exemption could disrupt compromises being negotiated among stakeholders, and the plan may remain on hold until the bill’s path becomes clearer. Separately, the SEC postponed a public meeting scheduled for Friday on proposed rules and exemptions for crypto-asset financing transactions under “Regulation Crypto Assets,” citing a last-minute scheduling conflict. An SEC spokesperson said the agency would continue pursuing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry.
