Bitcoin price climbed to a two-week high Monday as a U.S.-Iran ceasefire removed one of the market’s most persistent macro overhangs, sending crypto-linked equities surging ahead of what traders are framing as the week’s real test: Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s first FOMC meeting. Bitcoin price traded near $67,000 up 4% in 24 hours, after Iran confirmed a memorandum of understanding reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The price broke through $64,000 resistance on thin weekend liquidity before consolidating into Monday’s New York open. But Nansen Research Analyst Nicolai Sondergaard urges caution about reading too much into the headline move.  “The…

SpaceX has captured the attention of media, investors, and the public for years now — interest propelled by the company’s reusable rocket launches, the rise of its Starlink satellite network, and, of course, for its founder and CEO Elon Musk. But in its 24-year history, nothing quite compared to its initial public offering. Everyone seemed interested — perhaps because of the sheer size of the IPO. The company priced its 555.6 million shares at $135 each to raise $75 billion, making it the largest IPO in history and turning Musk into the world’s first trillionaire. TechCrunch has followed SpaceX’s start,…

Queen Camilla has written to a local resident about the campaign to purchase the Fountain Inn in Plumpton Green, East Sussex, writing: “I am full of admiration for your efforts to buy the Fountain Inn.” Villagers have said the pub has been at the “heart of the community” for 175 years. The pub was put up for sale earlier this year by Punch Pubs, prompting the formation of The Fountain Inn Community Benefit Society. The group has since raised nearly £300,000 in pledges towards the £475,000 asking price, plus VAT. Queen Camilla’s connection to Plumpton is personal, as her family…

Last week, we looked at what SpaceX’s record-breaking IPO means for deep tech valuations. The company shattered IPO records, briefly surged beyond a $2 trillion valuation and helped make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire – a pretty big headline, there’s no doubt about it. But hidden beneath the headlines was another decision that could have consequences far beyond SpaceX itself. That is, Musk chose Nasdaq. There were other choices, but he settled on Nasdaq. For most investors, the distinction between Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) may seem like a minor detail – both are among the…

All of that effort might be paying off. The same index ranked South Korea as having the third largest number of notable AI models in the world, based on criteria such as state-of-the-art advancements or high citation rates. For many small countries like South Korea, AI is a chance to punch above their weight. The blind spots But that single-mindedness can crowd out critical reflection on AI’s broader societal impacts. “Because the national agenda on AI prioritizes economic development,” says Jeon, the professor of science and technology policy, “there isn’t much reflection on the social, political, ethical dimensions of the…
