From the time the PAC was announced, the effort was reportedly tied to Tether, though the company declined to confirm the…

Bitcoin mining runs the risk of becoming more centralized as time goes on, while artificial intelligence could be moving in the opposite direction, according to Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn. Thorn said that while Bitcoin mining began decentralized, with users mining Bitcoin on their personal computers, it has since become far more centralized, requiring ASIC miners or industrial-scale farms. “AI may follow the opposite path,” said Galaxy’s research head Alex Thorn on Sunday, explaining that AI started centralized in giant hosted clusters, but as frontier models experience “data scarcity, context limits, and memory bottlenecks, open-source models could close the gap.”…

Is Magic Eden Really Closing? Recently, headlines have suggested that Magic Eden is shutting down, sparking concern among $NFT collectors. However, the reality is more nuanced. While Magic Eden is not disappearing entirely, it has made a drastic decision to “sunset” major parts of its business, including its Bitcoin and Ethereum-compatible marketplaces.

Today, firms with board-level approval are preparing to go live. He said the introduction of Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) has accelerated that transition by replacing fragmented national rules with a single regulatory regime. “In the past twelve months alone some of Europe’s most stringent financial institutions…
