Building on earlier tax rulings and SEC guidance, this marks a major step toward mainstream institutional staking in the U.S.

The 41-day U.S. government shutdown moved toward resolution after seven Democrats and one Independent joined 52 Republicans to pass the funding bill, clearing the key 60-vote threshold in the Senate. Those voting “yes” included:
