🇺🇸 US UNVEILS NATIONAL AI STRATEGY TO SECURE GLOBAL LEADERSHIP
The Trump administration has released the AI Action Plan, a bold national strategy to ensure U.S. dominance in artificial intelligence. The plan positions AI as central to innovation, defense, and long-term prosperity.
📌 Three core pillars:
1️⃣ Accelerate Innovation: Remove regulatory barriers, promote open-source AI, expand access to computing for startups and researchers, apply AI across sectors like healthcare and defense, invest in R&D and public data, and retrain the workforce with AI skills.
2️⃣ Build Infrastructure: Expand data centers and chip manufacturing, boost traditional energy sources like gas and oil, develop small nuclear reactors, and secure AI-related supply chains and energy systems.
3️⃣ Lead Diplomacy & Security: Form alliances with democratic nations (G7, Quad), tighten export controls, enhance AI-driven intelligence, and combat deepfake threats in media and law.
📊 Potential Impacts:
The plan could position the U.S. as the global hub for frontier AI, driving innovation and economic growth. It aims to create high-skilled jobs, though automation risks displacing millions in low-skill sectors. AI integration into defense may strengthen U.S. military capabilities.
⚠️ Key Concerns:
Experts warn of insufficient ethical oversight, lack of fairness standards, and the removal of DEI and environmental safeguards. These omissions could erode public trust and strain global cooperation.
🔮 Outlook:
If executed with added ethical frameworks, the plan could secure U.S. global AI leadership and foster sustainable growth. Without them, unchecked development may lead to social inequality, misuse of technology, and long-term instability.

⚡ Trump Moves to Kill $7B Solar Program, Targeting Biden’s Climate Legacy
The Trump administration is preparing to cancel “Solar for All” — a $7B clean energy initiative launched under Biden to help 900,000 low-income households install rooftop solar. Funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, the program aims to cut electricity bills and emissions. But only $53M has been spent so far.
EPA chief Lee Zeldin plans to send termination letters to 60 grantees, calling the initiative a “green slush fund” lacking oversight. The move is backed by the new One Big Beautiful Bill, which enables the reclaiming of unspent climate funds. Trump has criticized solar and wind as “unreliable,” pushing instead for fossil fuels to “unleash American energy.”
This step is part of a broader rollback of over 70 Biden-era climate policies, including ending offshore drilling bans and reopening coal production.
📉 The announcement sparked strong backlash. Environmental groups, Democratic lawmakers, and even some red states like Georgia warn that the EPA has no legal authority to cancel funds approved by Congress — and lawsuits are expected.
Supporters of the repeal, mostly conservatives, argue that taxpayer money should prioritize “cheap, reliable” energy, not “woke green subsidies.”
📊 Market impact: Solar stocks ($ENPH, $FSLR) face pressure as government support weakens. In contrast, fossil fuel and nuclear-related stocks ($OKLO, $SMR) are rising on hopes of fast-tracked projects.
🔮 With most funds unused, the cancellation could proceed quickly — unless blocked by court injunctions. If successful, the U.S. may slow its energy transition and weaken its global climate credibility. If lawsuits prevail, the program could be restored — though legal uncertainty may still deter investment.
⚖️ The U.S. is now split between fossil-fueled independence and climate-centered reform — and the outcome could shape the global energy landscape for years.

🇺🇸 U.S. Launches Crypto Sprint – A Strategic Push to Reclaim Global Crypto Leadership
On August 4, 2025, the CFTC, led by Acting Chair Caroline Pham, launched the Crypto Sprint in coordination with the SEC. This move follows a direct directive from President Trump to fast-track a unified regulatory framework for digital assets.
🎯 Key goal:
Enable regulated futures exchanges like CME and ICE to offer spot crypto trading for non-security tokens such as Bitcoin. The initiative also includes joint CFTC–SEC rules for DeFi, stablecoins, self-custody, and token classification, aiming to resolve longstanding jurisdictional confusion.
📆 Timeline:
The CFTC is accepting public feedback until August 18, signaling urgency to get ahead of global competitors like the EU and Singapore.
🔍 Strategic context:
Crypto Sprint aligns with Trump’s plan to “reshore crypto”, including tax cuts, support for domestic DeFi, and prioritizing stablecoins. Tech-native leadership appointments at the CFTC reflect this direction.
– Attracts institutional capital like ETFs have — e.g., BlackRock’s IBIT reached $85.5B AUM
– Repositions the U.S. as a crypto innovation hub
⚠️ Risks:
– Short feedback window may lead to weak implementation
– Political fragility: Initiative could stall post-election if leadership changes
– Favoring large players (e.g. CME), leaving DeFi startups exposed
– No clarity yet on national Bitcoin reserves, despite prior White House mentions
📈 Market outlook:
In the short term, clearer rules could lift BTC and altcoins by 20–30%, and revive U.S.-based DeFi. Long term, if the framework is fair and stable, the U.S. could lead again. If not, talent and innovation may continue shifting to crypto-friendly hubs like Singapore and South Korea.
This is a pivotal, time-sensitive initiative — with high upside, but politically fragile foundations.

📺 COINBASE AD BANNED IN THE UK – A CLASH OF SYSTEMS
In late July 2025, Coinbase launched “Everything Is Fine,” a satirical musical ad mocking the UK’s economic struggles — garbage-filled streets, strikes, skyrocketing prices (£100 fish fingers). Its message: crypto is a needed upgrade to a broken financial system.
By early August, major UK broadcasters refused to air it. CEO Brian Armstrong confirmed the ban, though no official ruling came from the ASA. The likely reason: networks avoiding risks under strict UK crypto ad rules, which require prominent risk disclosures. Coinbase had previously been banned in 2021 for similar reasons.
⚖️ The ad sparked controversy not just for its content, but for its challenge to the status quo. Former UK Chancellor George Osborne — now a Coinbase advisor — warned that the UK missed the first crypto wave and can’t afford to miss the next.
📉 Meanwhile, the UK lags on crypto regulation.
– The EU has MiCA (effective 2024)
– The U.S. is advancing the GENIUS Act
– Singapore has licensed stablecoins like USDC
The UK’s framework, proposed in 2023, remains unlegislated.
As of mid-2025, the FCA reports only 43 licensed crypto firms, down 30% from 2022. At least five startups have already moved to Dublin or Singapore. Coinbase has also hinted at scaling back UK operations if clarity doesn’t improve.
🌐 Social media backlash was strong. Analyst Aleksandra Huk wrote on X: “UK 2025: Can’t protest, can’t post, now can’t advertise?” — gaining over 600 likes. Critics call it “peak irony” from a country branding itself as a fintech hub.
📌 Outlook:
– In the short term, ASA may clarify ad rules.
– Long term, the UK risks losing crypto capital to the U.S. or Singapore. With Trump backing crypto, the U.S. is gaining appeal. Delay could cost the UK its place in the digital finance race.
🇬🇧 A banned ad isn’t just a PR moment — it signals deeper resistance to change.

📈 SEC LIFTS OPTIONS LIMIT – BLACKROCK COMES OUT ON TOP
On July 29, 2025, the SEC approved an increase in options position limits for spot Bitcoin ETFs from 25,000 to 250,000 contracts, expanding the scope for institutional derivatives trading. This marks a major step in integrating crypto into traditional finance.
🚀 IBIT firmly in control
iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leads the pack with $85.5B in AUM, over 4x that of Fidelity's FBTC. Its average daily Bitcoin options volume exceeds $2.35B, outpacing even CME’s Bitcoin futures market. FBTC was excluded from the new limit, further solidifying BlackRock’s near-monopoly advantage.
🔧 Operational efficiency improves
The SEC also approved in-kind creation/redemption, allowing ETF shares to be issued or redeemed in actual Bitcoin instead of cash. This reduces costs, increases transparency, and boosts arbitrage efficiency for large players.
📉 Market impact
Strategies like covered call selling help institutions hedge risk and generate yield — part of the reason Bitcoin volatility has declined over the past 12 months. Since launch, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $50B, with more than $1B in inflows last week alone — largely into IBIT.
💬 Positive sentiment
Crypto communities on X are calling this a major milestone, boosting institutional demand while positioning IBIT as the “gold standard” for crypto ETFs.
🔮 Outlook
If the Fed cuts rates and Trump is re-elected on a pro-crypto platform, Bitcoin could reach $150,000 within 3–6 months. Longer term, this may open the door to options on Ethereum ETFs, expanding crypto derivatives into a multi-trillion-dollar market.
📌 Bottom line: This is a clear bullish signal, with BlackRock leading the charge. Still, risks remain if the market becomes too reliant on one entity — or if options trading is abused during volatile conditions.
