🌅 Good morning, RootBadger. Wednesday starts with a consequential Senate vote on digital-asset rules, plus a legitimate place to check for money or property that may have gone unclaimed.
🗞️ Reuters morning read: The Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act, a broad cryptocurrency bill intended to establish a federal regulatory framework for digital assets. Reuters reports that the measure received 50 votes, ten short of the 60 needed to move forward. With Congress preparing to leave Washington ahead of the midterms, the vote puts the legislation—and clearer federal ground rules for the crypto industry—on hold.

💵 Useful this morning: USAGov has a plain-language guide to searching for unclaimed money. Start with the official unclaimed-property office for every state where you have lived, then check the listed federal sources for items such as matured savings bonds, closed-bank deposits, tax refunds, or insurance funds. There is no single master database, so avoid anyone charging for a supposed exclusive list.
