The House Financial Services Committee has scheduled a hearing on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (H.R. 3633) for July 17 in New York.  First introduced and House Financial Services Chairman French Hill on May 29, 2025, the CLARITY Act is the most significant attempt yet to build a durable regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States.  Its central mechanism is a jurisdictional division: the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would receive exclusive authority over spot markets for “digital commodities” — most notably Bitcoin — while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) retains jurisdiction over digital assets that…

Exabeam, the leader in behaviour intelligence for the agentic enterprise, today announced Agent Behaviour Verification (ABV), a new security discipline that helps organisations determine whether AI agents are configured, authorised, and governed in ways that align with their intended responsibilities before deployment.  As AI agents move from assistants to operational actors inside enterprise environments, organisations face a new security challenge. Agents access systems, invoke tools, execute workflows and make decisions with increasing autonomy. While existing approaches such as vulnerability scanning and red teaming help govern, monitor, and test agent activity during runtime, organisations lack a practical way to determine whether…

Ice formation can damage biological samples, tissues and materials during freezing and thawing. In nature, specialized molecules known as ice-binding proteins prevent ice crystals from growing too large, helping organisms survive in extreme cold. Scientists have long tried to replicate this behavior using synthetic materials, but most designs have focused on how molecules interact with ice at their surface. Source link
