Five major U.S. labor groups have formally voiced opposition to the CLARITY Act, a crypto market-structure bill, urging all senators to vote against it ahead of a Senate Banking Committee review. The groups said the bill could undermine the stability of workers’ retirement pension systems, including public pensions, by integrating cryptocurrencies into the real economy without sufficient safeguards. They also criticised provisions on stablecoin interest and rewards.

A provocative argument has drawn attention: in the AI era, experience may become a burden rather than an asset. Foundation Capital partner Jaya Gupta (자야 굽타) wrote on X that experience is no longer a moat and, in many cases, is starting to look like a tax. She contrasts senior and junior generations, arguing senior experience can hinder AI innovation. Gupta says decision-makers often have more to lose from failure, and AI narrows expertise gaps built on past examples.
