a16z, Grayscale, and the Crypto Council for Innovation urged the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to avoid blanket restrictions on so-called new exchange-traded funds and instead assess products based on their individual risk profiles. According to ChainCatcher, the three comment letters were submitted on August 31 as the SEC’s 60-day public comment window on new ETF regulation neared its end. The SEC opened the consultation on June 30, seeking views on whether existing rules are sufficient, how such funds should be regulated, and whether the registration process needs to be adjusted. a16z said crypto-based ETPs now benefit from more mature market infrastructure, including exchange-approved listing standards and established disclosure requirements, and should not be grouped with products holding private assets or using other novel strategies. Grayscale argued that digital asset products with established compliance and disclosure records should not face new portfolio conditions or disclosure regimes simply because they are labeled new. The Crypto Council for Innovation called for comparable regulatory efficiency between ETF and non-ETF ETPs while preserving existing investor protections. The groups broadly opposed category-based regulatory changes that could add requirements or delay product launches, but they differed on classification, approval procedures, and terminology. The dispute over the ETF label was especially clear, with a16z proposing that the term be reserved for funds under the 1940 Investment Company Act, while Grayscale said ETF should describe economic characteristics rather than legal wrappers.

Glean said Anthropic customers' actual bills are 80% higher than a reasonable level. According to Sina Finance, the AI search startup said its internal tests showed lower usage costs than Anthropic's Claude Cowork app across more than 180 business tasks. Glean said its tool helps customers such as Intuit, Booking.com, and Zillow build a context layer, including an enterprise knowledge graph, so AI agents can quickly access the data needed to complete tasks. A Glean spokesperson said its AI assistant, which uses Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 model underneath, consumed 70% fewer tokens than Anthropic's native Claude Cowork app running Claude Sonnet 5 in high-reasoning mode for the same tasks. Glean said its AI assistant charges customers an average of 81% less per task than Claude Cowork. Chief Executive Arvind Jain said the context layer can reduce lengthy retrieval work and help customers save money. Glean also said its agents can meet the same security and data protection standards that companies give to internal employees.
