Where the “super intelligence” term comes from The new terminology did not come out of thin air. In fact, the term emanates from Executive Order 14434, “Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence,” signed by President Trump on September 29, 2026. The executive order was published in the Federal Register on the 2nd of October. The order mandates agencies to use the term “Super Intelligence” and “SI” rather than “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” across websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-statutory materials. And the executive branch “will not acknowledge” the older terms. The legal ramifications might be too deep, especially because…

How the New Account Fee Works Balances left on the exchange after the closure are subject to an account fee for users who completed identity verification. Under the terms in Bitmex’s Sept. 23 post, the fee is $50 equivalent or 1% per year, whichever is greater, charged monthly. The 1% figure is an annual rate, even though billing occurs each month.

Kotecha sees demand from individuals, family offices and institutions, with borrowing against PAXGy a possible next step.

Theo Chief Investment Officer Iggy Ioppe sees growth coming from existing commodity owners and users: institutions seeking…
