Odaily reports: Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic has launched an AI product called Pulse, which allows frontline law enforcement officers to input a wallet address or transaction hash and receive a plain-language summary of fund flows within seconds, without requiring any blockchain expertise.For further investigation, law enforcement officers can, with a single click, transfer the results — including analytical reasoning and on-scene case number records — into Elliptic's screening and forensic tracing tools, or integrate them into their own agency workflows.

According to Crypto Pulse Research, Bernstein's September 16, 2026, research report states that the procedural vote on the CLARITY Act has failed, and there should be no hope for a revote. Stablecoins, governed by the GENIUS Act, remain unaffected, while Circle’s ARC chain launched that same day. Robinhood's daily on-chain gross revenue is approximately $1 million. The bank recommends buying the recent weakness in crypto equities, favoring Robinhood (HOOD), Circle (CRCL), and Figure (FIGR), with target prices set at $160, $140, and $70, respectively. It sets a $330 price target for Coinbase, $350 for Strategy, and $24 for Sharplink. Bernstein believes that following legislative failure, regulatory clarity will pivot toward rulemaking by the CFTC and SEC. This rulemaking process will be aggressive and rapid, making product rollout schedules more predictable. Advancement of stablecoins, tokenization, perpetual futures, and prediction market-related products will continue, with crypto stock pullbacks offering buying opportunities.
