House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has opened an investigation into Delaware's proposal for Artificial Intelligence Companies (AICs), entities run day to day by AI agents. Comer warned the plan could shield AI firms and investors from liability and asked Gov. Matt Meyer for documents, including internal AI chat logs, by November 9. His letter questions the role of private-sector contributors, noting that a December 2025 report by Delaware's AI Commission did not address safety risks. Under the proposal, AICs would operate only within a 30-month regulatory sandbox, would have to disclose their status and would be barred from banking. Secretary of State Charuni Patibanda-Sanchez rejects the liability-shield description, and state lawmakers are expected to consider draft legislation in January.

- Ripple wins final US approval for national trust bank
Ripple has received final approval from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for Ripple National Trust Bank (RNTB), completing a chartering process that began with conditional approval in December 2025. The trust bank can manage reserves backing the RLUSD stablecoin, act as collateral trustee for RLUSD holders and provide digital asset custody, while RLUSD will continue to be issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said crypto and banks work better together. Circle secured final OCC approval in July, while Coinbase, Crypto.com and Bridge remain at the conditional approval stage. According to the OCC, most national trust banks do not accept deposits or make loans and do not carry FDIC insurance.
- IRS plans lower tax disclosure penalties, including for crypto: Forbes
The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is preparing to overhaul its voluntary disclosure program to cut penalties and speed up the resolution of tax violations, including those involving cryptocurrencies, according to Forbes. IRS Criminal Investigation Chief Jarod Koopman said the revised program is targeted for launch before December, with cases aimed to be resolved within 120 days after taxpayers complete the required submission process. Digital assets would not get a separate disclosure process but would follow the same procedures as other tax noncompliance, and penalties are expected to be substantially lower, though no specific figures were given. Separately, the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, whose Section 502 would set a process for correcting past crypto violations with defined penalties, cleared the House Ways and Means Committee in September.
- Made an ‘honest’ mistake with crypto taxes? New bill offers way out
A proposed US bill, Section 502 of the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act (H.R. 10357), would require the Treasury secretary to create a Digital Asset Voluntary Disclosure Program within 12 months of the law taking effect. Eligible taxpayers could correct past crypto tax errors by filing amended returns and paying the tax owed, plus interest and a program penalty. The House Ways and Means Committee approved the bill 38-5 on Sept. 16, but it still needs passage by the House and Senate and the president's signature. Taxpayers who certify their violations were neither fraudulent nor willful would pay 0% on the first $25,000 of deficiency per year and 5% above that if they file within the first 12 months, while non-certifying taxpayers would face 25% and 40%. The article notes the new 1099-DA reporting rules don't address earlier years and cites a 2026 CoinTracker and Coinbase report finding only 49% of US crypto users understood selling crypto is taxable.
- Paying With Cash? New Penny Rounding Rules Could Change Your Total at Checkout
The U.S. Mint stopped producing pennies for circulation in November 2025, and new federal legislation sets a framework for rounding cash payments to the nearest five-cent increment when exact change isn't available. Under the rules, totals ending in one, two, six or seven cents generally round down, while those ending in three, four, eight or nine cents round up, so a $12.42 purchase could become $12.40. The framework excludes credit cards, debit cards, checks, gift cards and other noncash payments, which can still be charged the exact amount. Sales taxes should still be calculated on the actual taxable purchase, and rounding is permitted rather than required, so practices may vary by retailer. Existing pennies remain legal tender.
- Most Americans polled oppose betting on elections: Reuters
A Reuters/Ipsos poll of 4,506 U.S. adults found most Americans oppose betting on election results through prediction markets, with 69% of Democrats and 61% of Republicans opposed. Even betting on professional sports drew opposition from 43% of respondents, versus 29% who supported it. The industry, led by Polymarket and Kalshi, is embroiled in lawsuits between states and federal agencies over who regulates these markets, as the Trump administration pursues federal rules through the CFTC while states push back. Many expect the dispute to reach the Supreme Court, and 39 states plus the District of Columbia have filed an amicus brief calling the clash a “national turf war.”

- Where Will Oracle Stock Be in 1 Year?
Oracle shares have fallen 54% over the past year on concerns about the large debt taken on to build AI data centers. The median 12-month Wall Street price target of $240 implies an 84% gain from current levels, and 36 of 45 analysts (80%) rate the stock a buy. Oracle reported a backlog of $664 billion in fiscal Q1 2027 (ended Aug. 31), with cloud infrastructure revenue up 121%. The company expects fiscal 2027 revenue to rise 34% to at least $90 billion, while analysts expect 46% growth to $131.8 billion in fiscal 2028.
