The initiative, involving major Wall Street financial firms, underscores the growing demand for massive computational power to train advanced AI models. Centralized vs. Decentralized: The Growing Divide According to data from Epoch AI, even the largest decentralized AI training network currently operates at roughly one-300th the processing capacity of cutting-edge data centers. This disparity highlights the immense…

A U.S. federal judge has pushed Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm’s retrial to April 26, 2027, about six months later than planned, while his motion seeking to overturn his existing conviction remains unresolved. The Aug. 25 court order states that U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla granted Storm’s request to postpone the proceedings, moving the retrial from an October 2026 timetable after his defense cited scheduling conflicts and the pending motion for judgment of acquittal. Storm filed the Rule 29 motion on Sept. 30, 2025, challenging his conviction for conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business on the grounds…

Tokenized stocks are blockchain-based representations of shares or economic interests linked to publicly traded companies. Instead of ownership being recorded only inside conventional brokerage and securities databases, some or all of the position can be represented by a digital token that moves across blockchain infrastructure. That does not mean Apple, Nvidia or another company suddenly becomes a cryptocurrency. A stock remains a security regardless of whether ownership is represented by a paper certificate, a conventional electronic record or a blockchain token. The SEC explicitly defines a tokenized security as a security represented as a crypto asset whose ownership record is…

Ethereum blob usage reached a record, with a three-day moving average of 5.9 blobs per block and a daily average of 6.7. Current demand uses only about 40% to 50% of Ethereum’s 14-blob target, leaving substantial capacity despite stronger rollup activity. Developers are considering another increase toward a 21-blob target and 32-blob maximum, balancing cheaper Layer 2 fees against higher bandwidth demands and limited client-team funding across the network today. Ethereum’s blob usage has reached a new all-time high, signaling that rollups are pushing more data through the network’s dedicated scaling layer than ever before. A three-day moving average now…
