On September 10, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took to the X platform to strongly urge the Senate to advance the legislative process of the cryptocurrency Clarity Act after the August recess. He stated that the bill would prevent "bad actors" from exploiting important digital asset technologies and called for all parties to remain at the negotiating table, agree to procedural motions, and continue the legislative process. Bessent warned that failing to pass the bill would send a troubling signal to allies and adversaries, indicating that the U.S. is unwilling to lead the future of digital assets and is willing to forfeit national security tools to combat the abuse of digital assets. In July, Bessent had stated that to stand on the side of "American exceptionalism," the Clarity Act must be passed, citing remarks from Satoshi Nakamoto. The Clarity Act was passed by the House last year and aims to establish a regulatory framework that clearly delineates the regulatory jurisdiction of digital assets as securities, commodities, or stablecoins. The bill has stalled this year due to disagreements between banking lobbyists and cryptocurrency companies over stablecoin revenue issues. A new draft in July prohibited government officials from promoting or profiting from cryptocurrencies, but some Democrats still believe the bill is inadequate and are calling for amendments. Former President Trump has also urged lawmakers to push for the passage of the bill.

On September 10, Apple (AAPL.O) introduced the 'Reference Image' feature in its newly launched iPhone 18 Pro series, allowing users to digitally verify whether their photos have been altered by AI. When users take a photo, the main camera sensor simultaneously captures signed sensor data. Subsequently, Apple's 'private cloud computing' service converts this data into an 'immutable image' that can be viewed in the 'Photos' app. If a photo has been edited, users can view the original 'digital negative' image and compare the differences. The certification mark of the 'Reference Image' will not only appear on the device that took the photo; users can also share the signed photos with others, including the reference signature for future verification. However, this feature will not be launched in the EU or China for the time being.
