U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson is moving to open discussions on artificial intelligence regulation, setting him apart from President Donald Trump’s recent opposition to stronger AI rules. Johnson said he wants to put "guardrails" in place to limit potential harms from AI while preserving U.S. innovation leadership and national security interests. He also described AI oversight as a complicated issue that will require substantial work and a bipartisan approach. Johnson plans to convene AI company executives and experts either later this weekend or early next week to discuss the risks tied to AI development and possible legislative paths. The report said Republicans are facing political pressure linked to data centers, power costs, and potential AI safety risks. At the same time, prospects for near-term legislation remain limited. With the House heading toward its pre-election recess, Congress is unlikely to advance AI regulation quickly. Both the Senate and the House already have several AI safety proposals on the table, including measures that would require safety testing for advanced models, reporting of safety incidents, and government intervention mechanisms. The report also noted that figures such as Anthropic CEO Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Elon Musk have recently called for slowing AI development.

Odaily, citing CLS, reported that the yield on the US 10-year Treasury rose to 5%, marking the first time it has reached that level in nearly three years. The input provides no additional details on the timing within the trading session, the drivers behind the move, or reactions across other asset classes. As presented, the update is a brief market bulletin focused on a single macro indicator. The move puts the 10-year Treasury yield back at a level not seen in almost three years, according to the source cited in the newsflash. No further figures, comments, or related market data were included in the source material provided here.

A 31-day review by Bitquery Research shows how fast the market for meme coins paired with tokenized stocks is taking shape across Solana, Robinhood Chain, and BNB Chain. The dataset covers 43.3 million trades, 148,000 tokens, and five launchpads, including Pump.fun, Pons, Raydium LaunchLab, Flap, and Four.meme. The headline figure is harsh: nearly three-quarters of buyers ended up losing money, with aggregate net losses around $287 million. The report says the only consistently profitable entry window came in the first 10 seconds after a token’s first trade, where returns reached +18.4%. After that, outcomes deteriorated steadily. Nearly 500,000 wallets bought at least one token and never sold, accounting for about $302 million in losses on their own. On the other side, wallets that sold without ever buying — often linked to creator allocations, team distributions, or airdrops — extracted about $268 million, with gains heavily concentrated among a small group of addresses. Bitquery also argues that the stock side of most of these trades barely mattered over the typical six-minute holding period. Even so, meme-coin settlement now makes up two-fifths of onchain trading volume in tokenized stocks across the 403 stock tokens it tracked. The study was written by Bitquery Research and translated by TechFlow.

U.S. President Donald Trump has accepted roughly 80% of a crypto ethics proposal put forward by Senators Thom Tillis and Ruben Gallego, according to BlockBeats. The move removes part of the resistance facing the CLARITY Act in the Senate ahead of a key procedural vote set for Sept. 15. Under the updated proposal, state attorneys general would receive certain enforcement powers, including the ability to sue crypto trading platforms that list digital assets banned under the bill. The latest text also requires people with a "significant" financial interest in crypto issuers to divest those holdings or place them into a blind trust. Earlier criticism from Democratic lawmakers and some Republicans centered on the original bill's narrower restrictions, which only barred federally elected officials, their spouses, and federal judges from issuing digital assets. Those critics argued the prior version did not adequately address crypto-related conflicts of interest involving Trump and his family. Senate Republicans have now released the final updated text of the CLARITY Act.

U.S. equities and crypto markets moved in different directions on Sept. 14, according to BlockBeats. Pre-market trading showed broad weakness across technology shares as concerns grew over a slowdown in frontier AI development, while Bitcoin and Ether both posted gains of about 1%. Bitcoin rose to $77,800 and Ether climbed to $2,500. The pressure on tech names followed recent remarks from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who called for slowing frontier AI development so safety measures can keep pace with the technology. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk were said to agree with that view. The sell-off was visible across Asian and U.S. markets. South Korea’s KOSPI fell about 3%, while SK Hynix dropped 6%. In U.S. pre-market trading, the Nasdaq-100 ETF lost about 1.5%, with Nebius down 6%, CoreWeave down 5%, and both SanDisk and Intel lower by about 5%. At the same time, rising energy prices added to market pressure. Brent crude climbed more than 3% to around $107 a barrel, and WTI moved above $103. Gold fell nearly 1% to $4,300 per ounce, while silver slipped about 1.5%. Investors are now watching the Federal Reserve, which is set to begin a two-day policy meeting tomorrow, with markets almost unanimously expecting a 25-basis-point cut to the benchmark rate.

A Reuters survey found that most economists now expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this week and deliver at least one additional hike by the end of March next year, reversing what had been a fragile consensus for no change in rates. After last Friday’s inflation report, 85% of respondents said the Fed would raise rates by 25 basis points at its September meeting, taking the policy rate to 3.75%-4.00%. That would mark the first rate increase since July 2023. Nearly 53% of forecasters also said they expect at least one more hike by the end of March, compared with 56% a week earlier who had expected rates to remain unchanged. Reuters said the once-mainstream view of rate cuts in 2027 has now faded. Bank of America senior economist Stephen Juneau said Fed Governor Waller had effectively backed himself into a position where the central bank would only avoid hiking if incoming data turned very weak. Juneau added that he has expected three rate hikes this year since June, and said the latest inflation report made that outlook clearer.

Bitcoin spent the weekend hovering around $77,000, but traders were focused less on intraday noise and more on whether the asset can reclaim key weekly trend levels. Several market commentators cited the 50-week moving average and 50-week EMA as the main technical ceiling, with $78,300 seen as an important threshold to avoid a repeat of the weak structure seen in May. Above that, the $82,500-$83,000 area remains the zone many bulls want back before calling for a stronger recovery, while support is clustered around $76,000-$76,100, followed by $74,000, $73,000 and, in deeper downside scenarios, $71,000 and the 200-week average near $65,000. Macro risk is also building. The report said markets have priced in more than an 86% chance of a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate hike, leaving Chair commentary on December as a key variable. At the same time, crypto traders are watching the U.S. Senate closely after Senator Cynthia Lummis said the CLARITY Act had incorporated more than 120 Democratic requests and faces a procedural vote this week. Outside crypto, U.S. equity futures weakened in Asian trading as higher oil prices, Treasury yields nearing 5%, and a new debate over slowing frontier AI development hit sentiment. Semiconductor and AI-linked names led the overnight pullback, while Asia markets, especially South Korea, also came under pressure.
