U.S. digital asset regulation faces a turning point: the CLARITY Act is being advanced by both parties and has entered a key legislative stage
Odaily reported that during a recent hearing of the Senate Banking Committee, substantial progress was made regarding the advancement of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), as the bill entered the Senate floor stage with a 15 to 9 vote.
Multiple bipartisan senators emphasized during the discussion that the United States urgently needs to establish a unified regulatory framework covering digital assets to clarify asset classification, trading platform supervision, and market structure rules, thereby providing long-term certainty for the industry. Angela Alsobrooks pointed out from a family perspective that the younger generation demonstrates a natural interest in digital assets, and the regulatory system should balance "opportunity and protection" to avoid technological developments escaping regulatory constraints. Tim Scott stressed that the legislation should promote economic opportunity and the American Dream, while Cynthia Lummis noted that the legislative process has already reflected a clear foundation for bipartisan cooperation.
Supporters believe that digital assets have become an irreversible trend, with approximately 68 million Americans currently holding related assets. However, a large volume of transactions still occurs on overseas platforms, so the United States urgently needs to establish a domestic regulatory system to enhance market transparency and investor protection. Analysis points out that the CLARITY Act is seen as a key supplement following stablecoin-related legislation (GENIUS Act), and that without supporting rules at the market structure level, the US may lose its leading position in the competition for digital financial infrastructure.
As the bill advances to the Senate floor, there is widespread attention on whether subsequent stages will complete the final legislation based on bipartisan consensus, thereby establishing the core rules for the US digital asset regulatory framework.

BUZZ-Humana shares rise on improved “Federal Medicare Advantage Plan” ratings

In contrast, according to Oppenheimer, competitors UnitedHealth Group (UNH.N) and CVS Health (CVS.N) saw their average ratings fall by 15% from last year, while Elevance (ELV.N) and Centene (CNC.N) also experienced declines.

BUZZ-U.S. telecom stocks fall after SpaceX reaches spectrum agreement
October 9th - SpaceX (SPCX.O) has reached an agreement to acquire a portfolio of nationwide low-frequency spectrum licenses, enabling Starlink Mobile to become a major telecom operator in the US, causing a pre-market decline in US telecom stocks. T-Mobile (TMUS.O) shares fell by 6.3%, AT&T by 5.7%, and Verizon (VZ.N) by 5.1%. According to The Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter, SPCX will pay about 8 billion USD in cash to the seller, private equity firm Grain Management, to acquire the asset. The financial terms of the agreement have not yet been disclosed by either party. This deal increases competition for traditional carriers, transforming satellite direct-to-device technology from a supplementary safety feature for remote signal dead zones into a full-fledged commercial competitor replacing terrestrial cellular networks. "Although the three major carriers (T, TMUS, VZ) face a more concrete competitive threat due to their weak performance among high-speed data users (HSDs), this is not entirely unexpected and will most likely begin in rural areas," said Morgan Stanley. So far this year, TMUS is down 15.6%, VZ is up 13.7%, and T is slightly up. European telecom stocks were also impacted, including Germany’s Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn.DE).
