Americans are sending Washington a clear message: the United States should lead the future of digital finance, not fall behind while other countries write the rules. A new national HarrisX survey of registered voters found that 70% say the U.S. should have already passed crypto legislation, 62% say it is important for America to set the global rules for digital finance, and 60% prefer clear federal legislation over case-by-case enforcement. That makes the Senate Banking Committee’s decision to mark up the Clarity Act a critical next step toward giving the United States a workable framework for digital asset markets. For…

Paying for AI with crypto has always been more annoying than it should be. Bridge tokens here, approve a contract there, pay gas fees that sometimes cost more than the actual inference. Bankr’s LLM Gateway is now live on $BNB Chain, letting users fund AI model usage directly with $USDT on BSC without the usual friction. How the Bankr LLM Gateway works Bankr’s system operates on a pay-per-token model. Users deposit supported tokens, primarily $USDT, USDC, ETH, or other ERC-20 assets, and get metered access to AI models. Every request is tracked and billed accordingly, so you’re only paying for…
Wall Street wants quantum profits, but banks still disagree on whether the technology is ready or still years away
Folks, the quantum trade is already on Wall Street’s screen, but the boys can’t seem to agree on when this potential tool of doom actually becomes useful. Though to be fair, Goldman Sachs (GS) once looked early in the race. I mean, just three years ago, the bank hired a small group of scientists and worked with Amazon (AMZN) to test whether quantum computing could help wealthy clients get stronger portfolio returns. The test was kind of a smack on Goldman’s face, as they had to find out that the algorithm would need millions of years to finish the task.…

This week’s U.S. Senate Banking Committee hearing to consider edits to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act has dozens of amendments to weigh, though it’s likely that almost all of them won’t survive the process of Thursday’s event. Lawmakers have pushed forward a range of proposed changes for the market structure bill as it approaches the hearing known as a “markup,” from amendments that would establish government-ethics rules to others setting safe harbors for developers to one that would cut out a must-have protection for the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, plus a number of other smaller, technical adjustments. The list…
