With the launch of PayBox, users can ask ChatGPT or Claude to swap tokens, bridge assets, book travel or make purchases using natural language, while keeping full control of their wallets and funds. "Swap $100 of PYUSD to SOL." "Bridge funds to Robinhood Chain." "Maximize my yield using Aave." "Book my flight." The AI prepares the transaction, the user approves it with a…

Nvidia’s $196M Investment Could Power Revolut’s Crypto Ambitions

RegulationAug 2

Recent public filings from Companies House in the UK show Nvidia’s investment arm, NVentures, put about $196 million (£145 million) into Revolut last year. The filing indicates NVentures owns roughly 141,834 shares.

Instead, current shareholders and staff sold off some of their own stakes.…
