⚡️🇺🇸 US Launches Effort to Speed Trade in AI Goods Between Allies
The Trump administration announced a new program aimed at accelerating shipments between the US and its closest trading partners of goods considered critical to developing AI.
The State Department will create a pilot platform in Panama intended to fast track trade in products essential to AI as part of Pax Silica, a US-led initiative created to strengthen supply chains between allies. The agency is committing up to $50 million in foreign assistance funding to develop and deploy the platform, which will use AI technology to speed the logistics process.

Miden is planning to introduce a privacy-focused stablecoin backed by Circle Internet’s USDC at the same time as the zero-knowledge blockchain prepares to debut its mainnet.
Users will be able to hold and transfer USDCx without publicly revealing balances, counterparties or transaction histories. The stablecoin is expected to go live at the same time as the Miden mainnet, targeted for the end of this month.
The product targets one of the biggest limitations of using public blockchains for institutional finance: transparency.

Bank of America plans to deploy $250 billion by July 2027 to support U.S. digital and infrastructure projects, a move it says will boost the country's economic growth and help create tens of thousands of jobs.
The Wall Street bank said its "Critical Infrastructure Finance Initiative," launched on the heels of the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations, will provide primary market lending, investments, capital markets services, and banking and advisory offerings.
"Meeting America's growing infrastructure needs requires mobilizing capital at scale across increasingly interconnected sectors," — said Karen Fang, global head of infrastructure and sustainable finance at Bank of America.

"We advance AMIE, our research medical AI system, to conduct real-time video consultations, with a first-of-its-kind demonstration of expert-level performance in a randomized controlled study with simulated consultations," — Google wrote.
This work demonstrates that the transition from text-based to audio-visual clinical AI is achievable at expert-level quality. AMIE (Video) engages with the perceptual richness of clinical practice, observing non-verbal cues, guiding physical examination, and conversing naturally through spoken dialogue — capabilities that more closely approximate the experience of a telehealth video encounter.

The SEC has issued a no-action letter to Franklin Templeton, clearing the way for the firm’s traditional registered funds to invest in its blockchain-based OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund.
❗️ "Essentially, it opens the door for Franklin’s registered funds (mutual funds, ETFs, etc) to hold its OnChain fund despite not technically satisfying 1940 Act custody rules," — Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart said on X.
The decision effectively lets conventional Franklin funds access some of the operational advantages of its OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX), often called BENJI, including faster transaction processing and more frequent pricing updates.
Under the arrangement, Franklin Templeton Investor Services will create and control blockchain wallets on Stellar for the investing funds and keep the private keys.
Franklin Templeton’s blockchain-based custody plan gets SEC staff backing, paving the way for future digital asset growth and investment opportunities.

Melbourne indie developer Adam Lyttle didn’t want his son playing Roblox because he couldn’t be sure who he was interacting with. Instead, he created his own browser-based obstacle-course game with the same addictive mechanic instead.
"The game is populated with recordings of other play throughs (giving the illusion of playing with others). And there’s even a chat from the bots talking to each other. He can talk with the bots and they chat back using ChatGPT," — Adam said.

The Green District Smart City Live Local Master Plan has been filed with the City of Orlando, marking the first step in a roughly $2 billion revitalization effort for the historic Parramore community in Orlando. This full master plan is designed as a destination that brings together housing, tourism, transportation, jobs, education, culture, technology, public safety and economic mobility in one place, positioning downtown Orlando as a leader in smart city innovation.
The Green District Smart City project will be anchored by two Smart Hub parking structures located at 17 N. Westmoreland Drive and 320 W. Clear Lake Street, combining retail, multi-modal transit, and EV charging. The integrated transportation system is designed to move both Orlando residents and visitors throughout Downtown Orlando and to major regional destinations. A third facility will support health, wellness, and emergency response alongside AAM operations.
Construction is expected to begin in summer 2027.

AI could create new demand for public blockchain networks as AI systems become capable of making payments, managing assets, and acting independently on behalf of users, according to research from Grayscale.
📝 In a report, Zach Pandl, Grayscale’s Head of Research, argued that AI and public blockchains could address complementary infrastructure needs that traditional systems were not originally designed to handle.
The research identifies three areas where Grayscale believes AI adoption could increase demand for blockchain technology: agentic finance, verifiable digital records for computation and reputation, and decentralized alternatives to centralized AI systems.

The US government is partnering with private-sector firms to launch cyber attacks abroad, expanding the scope of national security operations that until now have been largely conducted by government agencies.
📝 Through Executive Order 14390 of March 6, 2026 (Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes Against American Citizens), I directed the Federal Government to take various actions to combat cyber‑enabled crime harming American citizens.
This memorandum expands the fight against TCO-perpetrated cybercrime by incorporating the ingenuity of the private sector.
Private companies under the direct control and oversight of the federal government will be able to conduct offensive cyber operations aimed at disrupting criminal organizations that target Americans, according to a National Security Presidential Memorandum signed by President Donald Trump.
