The consensus of those discussions at the ECB's annual conference in the windy hills of Portugal was that AI has the power to disrupt everything and ‌create problems they can't even imagine right now: in financial and labour markets, in bank lending, for security, and even for power demand.
If AI overdelivers, it will impact financial stability. If AI underdelivers, it will impact financial stability," Torsten Slok at Apollo Global Management told the arbiters of interest rates around the world at one of the main panel sessions in the resort of Sintra.AI was such an overarching theme in Sintra that the topic found its way ​into every discussion, from immigration and supervision to climate
How do supervisors assess those kind ​of agentic loan decisions? They are a little ⁠bit black box. There's potentially a lack of explainability, and I think that is a key supervisory challenge," Tobias Adrian, a senior IMF official, said.
Defending against malicious threats will become even more expensive, and otherwise viable firms will ​struggle to protect themselves.
AI will also drive a wedge between richer and poorer firms and countries.
In a cyber context, do we need systems that allow one institution to pick up another’s basic functions during disruption?" she said.
Sarah Breeden, a Bank of England ​Deputy Governor, said a ⁠potential solution may be to create some sort of insurance scheme, likening it to deposit insurance in case of bank failures.
The internet proved to be better than anybody imagined, created whole new businesses, but we still got the dotcom bubble," Bank of Canada ​Governor Tiff Macklem said. "It doesn't mean there can't be a period where the market gets ahead of itself, and, and you see an entrenchment."
If AI delivers on some of the most optimistic efficiency expectations, machines could replace ⁠humans en masse, ​leading to large unemployment. This then reduces disposable incomes and pushes the economy into recession, undermining the case for the ​investment.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) price is up 11.44% to $75.78, significantly outperforming the broader market, driven by strong institutional ETF inflows and a surge in trading of SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual contracts on its platform.
Spot ETF demand and SpaceX perp frenzy, with over $17M in net ETF inflows and $1.2 billion in SpaceX futures volume driving platform activity and token demand.
The rally is anchored by two clear catalysts. First, regulated spot ETFs for HYPE saw net inflows exceeding $17M in the past 24 hours, bringing cumulative inflows to $171 milion and signalling strong structural demand.
Second, Hyperliquid’s SpaceX-linked perpetual contract (SPCX) saw over $1.2B in pre-IPO futures volume, becoming the platform’s most-traded asset and demonstrating its expansion into non-crypto markets.
Platform stats show a record 44,000+ new wallets in a day, total users surpassing 2.15 million, and open interest holding near $9.64 billion. Furthermore, AI trading agents are actively executing on-chain, with some showing high returns.
The key risk is a loss of momentum and profit-taking, which could trigger a pullback toward the $70 support zone. The bias is bullish but entering a critical resistance zone where volatility may increase.
An anonymous wallet (0x15A9) withdrew 572,900 HYPE tokens, worth approximately $40 million, from Coinbase Prime and immediately staked them on the Hyperliquid platform.
This is bullish for HYPE because moving such a large sum off an exchange and into staking reduces immediate selling pressure (supply lock-up) and indicates a long-term holding strategy focused on earning yield, reflecting deep confidence in the network’s security and future.
The combination of institutional ETF demand and a wildly successful new trading product has propelled HYPE to new highs with strong volume confirmation. Hyperliquid Price Falls 10% Amidst Stablecoin Rule Warning

That distinction matters because most derivatives, including futures, perpetual futures and options, require a view on where the price is going. Volatility futures eliminate that complexity, letting traders express a view purely on how BTC will move in either direction.
Shiliang Tang, CEO of Monarq, called the launch a positive step in broadening regulated volatility offerings.
As bitcoin continues to mature into a more mainstream institutional asset class, the demand for sophisticated risk management instruments grows alongside it. Robust tools like CME Group Bitcoin Volatility futures are exactly what investors need to accurately express their market viewpoints and efficiently hedge their portfolios within a secure, transparent framework," he said in the press announcement
Monarq Asset Management is an institutional-focused, quantitative, and systematic digital asset investment firm, managed by former executives from firms such as LedgerPrime, Tower Research, and BlockTower Capital. DV Chain is a liquidity and market-making service provider.
The launch of volatility futures expands CME's existing product suite, comprising bitcoin and ether standard and micro futures and options contracts. The platform's crypto derivatives business has reached roughly 266,900 contracts year-to-date, up 38% year-on-year, while average daily open interest stands at roughly 274,500 contracts, up 18%.

The agreement necessitates firms restructure reward programs from a "buy and hold" to a "buy and use" model; however, CCI raised concerns over its broad prohibition.
It carves out rewards programs tied to "bona fide activities or bona fide transactions," and directs Treasury and the CFTC to write rules within a year of enactment.
Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger called the deal a step in the right direction.
We commend Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks for their leadership in reaching this agreement," Mersinger said. "Every day without a clear legal framework is an invitation for top-tier talent, capital, and innovative companies to locate elsewhere."
The Crypto Council for Innovation endorsed the bill while flagging concerns. Its CEO Ji Hun Kim said the new language extends the prohibition framework well beyond last year's GENIUS Act, which barred only issuers from paying rewards.
CCI has been clear that we disagree with assertions about deposit flight concerns from stablecoin adoption," Kim wrote on X. The text, he said, "goes VERY FAR beyond" the GENIUS Act by applying to all digital asset market participants.
Kim urged the committee to advance the bill anyway. "The north star is to ensure that the U.S. can lead on crypto–this is the future. We respectfully ask Senate Banking to move to mark up. The time is now,” he wrote.
Circle Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte, whose firm issues the USDC and EURC stablecoins, endorsed the deal without qualification.
Today's compromise on stablecoin yield marks meaningful progress in the CLARITY Act negotiations," Disparte said. He pointed to USDC's growth in cross-border payments, capital markets collateral and agentic commerce.
The United States faces a clear choice in digital assets: lead or be led," he said. “Today’s progress is an encouraging signal that the U.S. is choosing to lead.”
Coinbase had the most at stake in the negotiations. CEO Brian Armstrong posted "Mark it up" after the text dropped. Chief legal officer Paul Grewal said the language preserves activity-based rewards tied to real participation on crypto platforms, which is what the bank lobby had asked for.
The Senate Banking Committee postponed an earlier CLARITY Act markup in January. Other negotiation points remain unresolved, but the yield language has largely been the greatest obstacle.
Firms will need to restructure rewards programs from a "buy and hold" model to a "buy and use" one to comply with the transaction caveats.

Netflix has been sued in Texas over claims it collects data belonging to children and adults in the US state without their consent, and uses "addictive" design to keep them hooked.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused the streaming giant of "spying" on citizens saying it "records and monetises billions" of pieces of information about how users behave on the platform, despite suggesting otherwise.
Every interaction on the platform became a data point revealing information about the user," his office said.
Netflix has rejected the claims and says it will challenge them in court, according to a statement shared with Reuters.
Respectfully to the great state of Texas and Attorney General Paxton, this lawsuit lacks merit and is based on inaccurate and distorted information," a Netflix spokesperson told the news agency.
Netflix takes our members' privacy seriously and complies with privacy and data protection laws everywhere we operate."
The attorney general can pursue action including penalties against those found to have engaged in such activity.
In this case, it wants the court to order Netflix to delete any data "deceptively collected from Texans", cease processing their data for targeted advertising and to turn auto-play off by default for children's profiles.
It comes as platforms face calls to disable features like auto-play and infinite scroll, over concerns they keep users unhealthily hooked on endless streams of content.

A coordinated global regulatory shift and institutional investment in infrastructure are accelerating stablecoins toward mainstream adoption, reshaping how digital money functions at scale. Mastercard shared on July 17 in a post authored by Jesse McWaters, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Policy, that stablecoins are moving closer to mass-market use as legal clarity and technical integration align.
The U.S. Congress’s approval of the GENIUS Act, alongside the now-active European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, has created a regulatory foundation that encourages adoption. Countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates are implementing similar frameworks, forming a global blueprint. Mastercard stated:
Mass adoption, however, depends on more than legal structure—it requires infrastructure that supports security, trust, and ease of use. Mastercard highlighted how stablecoins are already facilitating faster, lower-cost cross-border payments and enabling flexible compensation for gig workers and content creators. Yet to expand beyond niche use, McWaters explained they “need to be embedded in systems that people trust,” emphasizing the need for built-in user protections and cross-platform operability.
The goal is to make stablecoin use as seamless and dependable as mainstream payment methods.
To that end, Mastercard has developed products like the Mastercard Multi-Token Network and Mastercard Crypto Credential to support stablecoin transactions at scale. These tools are built to manage settlement, enhance safety, and ensure compliance, enabling stablecoins to operate within global financial norms. McWaters concluded:
Despite ongoing scrutiny of crypto markets, Mastercard’s structured approach demonstrates how digital assets can become part of everyday commerce under the right regulatory and technical conditions.

HKMA teams up with mainland regulators to develop a cross-border platform linking cargo data and electronic bills of lading, aiming to cut trade finance friction and plug Chinese supply chains into global markets
The MoU signals growing adoption of bitcoin in real-world plumbing, targeting $1.5 trillion in annual cargo finance where paper work and jams still cost a lot in delays in fraud.
By plugging mainland cargo data into Hong Kong’s international-facing infrastructure, officials aim to reduce friction in cross-border trade while reinforcing the city’s status as the primary conduit between China and global capital markets.
Under the agreement, the parties will study the creation of a cross-border platform under the HKMA’s Project Ensemble framework. The initiative will explore the use of electronic bills of lading and blockchain-based documentation to streamline trade finance, while connecting with Hong Kong’s Commercial Data Interchange and CargoX to facilitate secure data sharing.
For Hong Kong, the move extends its digital asset strategy beyond tokenized green bonds and into the real economy. Instead of focusing solely on sovereign issuance or crypto markets, regulators are targeting the operational bottlenecks in cargo finance, where paper documents, fragmented data, and manual verification continue to slow credit decisions.
If successful, the platform could embed Hong Kong deeper into mainland supply chains while offering international investors and banks a compliant gateway to Chinese trade data. In doing so, the city is attempting to turn blockchain from a pilot project into core cross-border financial infrastructure.

WASHINGTON, April 23 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration is considering more than doubling an annual refugee limit to bring more white South Africans into the ​U.S., according to three people familiar with the matter.
Trump, a Republican, paused refugee admissions from around the world when he took office in January 2025. Weeks later, ‌he issued an executive order prioritizing the resettlement of European-descended Afrikaners, saying they faced race-based persecution in majority-Black South Africa. South Africa’s government vehemently denies the claims.
The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program was formally established in 1980 after hundreds of thousands of people fled wars in Vietnam and Cambodia. The program expanded to provide safe haven to persecuted people around the globe. Trump has used it almost exclusively to bring white South Africans into the U.S., ​part of a broader upending of norms around humanitarian protection, opens new tab.
In recent weeks, U.S. officials have discussed expanding the 7,500-person refugee cap by 10,000 to allow more South Africans of ​Afrikaner ethnicity to obtain refugee status, said people familiar with internal planning, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share non-public government discussions.
On Thursday, Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Veprek said an increase in the refugee limit was being considered, but did not provide details. "We're looking ​at the pace of resettlement right now and thinking about how quickly it's going, and do we need to increase the ceiling for the current fiscal year as well," he said at ​an event hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports lower levels of immigration.
The ⁠White House referred questions to the U.S. State Department.
Blacks make up 81% of South Africa's population, according to 2022 census data. Afrikaners and other white South Africans constitute 7% of the population.
During the apartheid era, which ended with the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa maintained a racially segregated society with separate schools, neighborhoods and public facilities for people classified as Black, colored, white or Asian.
Trump set the record-low refugee ceiling of 7,500 for fiscal year 2026, which began October 1, 2025, ‌down from ⁠a ceiling of 125,000 a year under former President Joe Biden.
The U.S. ​admitted about 4,500 South Africans as refugees through the first six months of the fiscal year, State Department figures show, on pace to exceed Trump’s existing limits for the program. The only ​refugees other than white South Africans to enter this fiscal year were three Afghans, according to State Department statistics.
U.S. officials are weighing whether religious minorities from Iran and countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union could be included under what’s known as the “Lautenberg” program, the person said. The program stems from a 1989 budget amendment introduced by then-U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg that aimed to make it easier for Jewish refugees to resettle in the U.S.
The Trump administration is also discussing bringing in refugees of other nationalities, one of the people familiar with planning said.
Even as ​Trump looks to further ramp up the entry ​of South Africans, an internal U.S. government ⁠email reviewed by Reuters showed that at least four refugees already in the U.S. have returned to South Africa.
One South African who arrived in Minneapolis in late January departed the U.S. less than a month later, the email showed. Case notes said that plans for his daughter and ​grandchildren to join him “fell through” so he returned to his home country.
A pair of South Africans who arrived in Twin Falls, Idaho, in ​late January via the ⁠refugee program turned around a week later, saying a parent was ill in South Africa, the email showed
Another South African resettled in Moline, Illinois, in mid-March returned home weeks later, the email said.
Resettlement occurred quickly, she had not thoroughly thought through the process, and her family in South Africa has decided not to continue their own resettlement process,” case notes said. “Additionally, the client’s age (66) and ability to provide ⁠for herself is ​a concern.”
Trump has portrayed South Africa as dangerous and oppressive for whites, yet thousands of white South Africans abroad have ​returned to the country in recent years, Reuters reported in March.
U.S. government contracting documents reported by Reuters in February said the U.S. aimed to process 4,500 white South Africans per month through the refugee program. The documents also said the ​State Department paid to install more than a dozen trailers on embassy property in Pretoria to conduct interviews.

U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who presided over Bankman-Fried’s 2023 fraud trial and sentenced him to 25 years in prison, issued the ruling in New York, according to court records reported by Bloomberg and Inner City Press. The judge described Bankman-Fried’s arguments as “baseless on multiple independently sufficient levels.”
The motion, filed pro se around Feb. 10, 2026, asked the court to grant a new trial under Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Bankman-Fried alleged that new witness testimony from former FTX executive Ryan Salame and an individual identified as Daniel Chapsky undermined the government’s case.
Prosecutors pushed back hard in March 2026, arguing the claims had no merit. Judge Kaplan agreed, finding that the purported new evidence would not likely produce an acquittal given the weight of proof presented at trial.
Before the ruling came down, Bankman-Fried sent a handwritten letter to the court on April 22, 2026, asking to withdraw the motion without prejudice. He gave two reasons: he had not been given enough time to respond to the government’s opposition, and he did not believe he would get a fair hearing from Judge Kaplan.
The judge denied that request, too, and ruled on the motion anyway.
Bankman-Fried’s letter also addressed questions the court had raised about who wrote the filing. He denied improper ghostwriting but acknowledged that his mother, Barbara Fried, provided editorial suggestions and helped print the document. Judge Kaplan had scrutinized the submission because Fried is not a licensed attorney.
Bankman-Fried was convicted in November 2023 on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy tied to the collapse of FTX and his trading firm Alameda Research. Billions in customer funds went missing. He was sentenced in March 2024.
His direct appeal is pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, with oral arguments held in 2025. That case remains active and is separate from the Rule 33 motion Judge Kaplan just denied.
A request to have Judge Kaplan removed from the case on bias grounds is also still pending. Bankman-Fried reserved the right to refile the new trial motion once that reassignment request and his direct appeal are resolved
For now, his 25-year sentence stands. No changes to his incarceration status have been ordered.
The latest ruling closes the district court door on this particular legal effort, though Bankman-Fried retains options at the appellate level. How the Second Circuit handles his direct appeal will likely shape what comes next.
