DeFi Wraps TradFi. A year ago, Morgan Stanley's 15,000 financial advisors couldn't recommend a single Bitcoin product to clients. Now the firm has the market's cheapest spot Bitcoin ETF and Goldman is filing for one. Schwab is building a crypto trading desk. Legal \u0026 General is bringing $68 billion in money market funds on-chain. And the S\u0026P 500 trades 24/7 on a decentralized exchange. The question we keep coming back to: who ends up owning this infrastructure — the banks who own the clients, or the chains that can settle anything at 3am on a Sunday?The TradFi wrapperMorgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF, MSBT, pulled in more than $100 million in its first week. This has been the firm's most successful ETF launch to date, priced at 0.14% annually, and the first spot Bitcoin ETF issued by a major US bank. Even so, it is far from the biggest. BlackRock's IBIT crossed $1 billion in inflows within its first week of trading in January 2024 and has since accumulated over $65 billion in total net inflows. MSBT is on track for over $7 billion this year. SourceSource: Morgan Stanley Client Assets, GeminiMorgan Stanley’s wealth management network oversees trillions of dollars in client assets. It’s a channel for investors who would never open a Coinbase account, but will buy an ETF through their existing advisor. Wall Street firms travel in packs, and we saw Goldman Sachs file for its own Bitcoin ETF within days of MSBT’s launch.SourceCharles Schwab also confirmed it remains on track to launch spot Bitcoin and Ethereum trading in the first half of 2026, via its Charles Schwab Premier Bank unit. Schwab manages $12 trillion in client assets across 39MM active brokerage accounts. Importantly, it famously drove stock trading commissions to zero in 2019.Will it do the same to crypto? This is particularly relevant as the fee gap with native crypto exchanges is significant Coinbase Advanced charges makers up to 0.40% and takers up to 0.60%Gemini charges a flat 1.49% on basic orders If Schwab applies its equities pricing to crypto, the compression on native exchange margins could be significant, particularly when considering the cost of acquiring these assets directly on-chain. The ETF, the custody account, the brokerage interface, these are all wrappers that distribute product. They are the store that sell the sandwiches, the sandwiches being financial products. The incumbents are competing to own the client relationship, and the underlying asset is incidental to that contest.The Perpetual TradeDeFi is running the same play in reverse, pulling traditional assets onto the chain rather than wrapping crypto into brokerage accounts.On March 18, S\u0026P Dow Jones Indices licensed the S\u0026P 500 to Trade[XYZ] to launch the first officially licensed perpetual derivative contract based on the index, trading on Hyperliquid. Earlier attempts relied on synthetic pricing. This contract runs on institutional-quality index data from the source, and S\u0026P DJI powers trillions in ETF and index fund assets globally. That data provenance is what institutional confidence follows.SourceHIP-3 is Hyperliquid’s framework for permissionless perpetual futures on tokenized equities and commodities, where builders spin up new markets by staking HYPE. Open interest hit a record $2.38 billion last week, up roughly 580% year-to-date from around $280 million at the start of the year — crossing $1 billion within the first month. TradeXYZ accounts for over 90% of that. We’d watch the $5 billion mark. At that level, HIP-3 starts generating enough volume and liquidity to attract the market makers who currently operate on CME and CBOE.A note: this product is currently restricted to eligible non-US investors, so it won’t compete with Morgan Stanley or Schwab for the time being.As of the week of the S\u0026P announcement, only seven of the top 30 markets on Trade[XYZ] by open interest were crypto pairs. The rest were tokenized or synthetic versions of commodities and equity indexes, like oil, gold, silver, and now the S\u0026P 500. The crude oil contract alone saw $1.7 billion in peak daily volume and $300 million in open interest, driven in large part by CME traders who found they could trade oil on weekends during the Iran conflict when conventional markets were closed.Source.When a major macro event breaks on a Saturday, traditional exchanges are shut. On-chain perpetuals aren’t. All of a sudden, all of our equities and commodities are digitally native and globally available.Where This ConvergesMorgan Stanley, Goldman, and Schwab are wrapping crypto into existing brokerage infrastructure. Hyperliquid is absorbing equities and commodities into on-chain settlement — oil, gold, the S\u0026P 500, all trading 24/7 without intermediaries. Only three of the top ten markets on Hyperliquid by volume are crypto pairs. Traditional finance volumes are arriving on-chain and will increasingly make up the bulk of blockchain activity.Morgan Stanley still has its clients. S\u0026P DJI still licenses its index. But the S\u0026P 500 now trades on a decentralised blockchain at 3am on a Sunday. How long before someone asks why the NYSE doesn’t? Related Coverage Analysis: From Boom to Bust in the $30B DAT TradeWe look back at the Digital Asset Treasury sector — over 200 publicly listed companies that have adopted the Strategy playbook of holding crypto on their balance sheets. SourceWe covered the early DAT wave in detail last year, when the mNAV premium flywheel was still spinning, and every micro-cap healthcare company was pivoting to become a Solana treasury. Now, roughly 40% of BTC treasury companies trade below the value of their holdings. The flywheel that powered $29B in capital raises through 2025 has jammed. We tracked 200+ companies across the DAT strategies. The picture it paints is uncomfortable, but instructive. This is the first real stress test of whether the DAT model works as a financial structure when prices go the wrong way for long enough.Read AnalysisCurated UpdatesHere are the rest of the updates hitting our radar.Financial Institutions and AdoptionAmerican Express Debuts Agentic Commerce Experiences (ACE)™ Developer Kit and Announces Industry-First Protection for Registered Agent Purchases - American ExpressVisa Launches Validator Node on Tempo Blockchain - VisaEToro to acquire crypto wallet Zengo in $70 million deal - CoinDeskUK asset manager puts $68 billion of funds on-chain via Calastone token network - CoinDeskGoldman Sachs files for bitcoin income ETF in crypto push - CoinDeskPayward to acquire Bitnomial, creating a fully CFTC-licensed derivatives platform - KrakenDeFi and Digital AssetsHIP-3 open interest tops $2 billion as demand for 24/7 tokenized equity exposure surges - The BlockCoinbase adds ‘DeFi mullet’ to UK offering in drive to become an everything exchange - DLNewsBlockchain ProtocolsDrift degen sues Circle, alleging stablecoin giant ‘did nothing’ during $295m hack - DLNewsAave launches v4 on Ethereum as founder eyes ‘opportunities in the real world’ - DLNewsNFTs, DAOs and the MetaverseKelp DAO $293 Million Hack Largest DeFi Theft of 2026 - PYMNTS Polymarket seeks $400 million raise at $15 billion valuation: report - The Block Level UpJoin our Premium community and receive all the Fintech and Web3 intelligence you need to level up your career.

In a new post on Weibo, the user known as \"Fixed Focus Digital\" said that the ‌iPhone 18‌ features \"certain manufacturing downgrades\" that bring it more into line with the low-cost iPhone 18e model. The decision is said to be \"a cost-cutting measure.\" Apple has apparently chosen to implement new cost-control strategies for the device, including specific downgrades to manufacturing processes, chips, memory, and more. The move will \"effectively bring it in line with the '18e' model.\" With the iPhone 17e and iPhone 17, the biggest differences are the Dynamic Island, display size, ProMotion, brightness, the front facing camera, the Ultra Wide camera, and battery life. It is not clear which key differentiators will remain between the two devices in their next iterations. iPhone 17e vs. iPhone 17 Buyer's Guide: 35+ Differences Compared The leaker apparently \"confirmed\" and verified the information using multiple sources. They noted that the information originates from the same source who correctly confirmed that the ‌iPhone 17e‌ would continue to feature a \"notch,\" contrary to false reports that the device would have a ‌Dynamic Island‌. The standard ‌iPhone 18‌ is expected to launch months after the iPhone 18 Pro models as part of an all-new split launch strategy. Apple's usual fall iPhone announcement is expected to include the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌, ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max, and the so-called foldable \"iPhone Ultra.\" The iPhone 18e, ‌iPhone 18‌, and iPhone Air 2 will likely follow in the spring of 2027.

While you can find GPUs in every cloud provider offer, the TPUs are currently only available through Google Cloud Platform. Situation when you invest in a technology or a service that is not available anywhere else is called vendor lock-in — it's something the sales people love, while customers try to avoid it. What does this look like for TPUs? Let's see. Myth 5: TPUs are available only through Google Cloud Platform As of today (December 12th, 2025) it is still true that TPUs are available only through Google Cloud Platform. If you develop your application to work specifically with the TPU technology, leverage all its strong sides and account for all the limitations, moving to a different provider would be a big challenge. Luckily, as you may remember from the first myth busting post, GPUs can do everything that TPUs do. They may not be as efficient for a given task, scaling might be different or limited, but in a lot of cases, a move from TPU to a GPU is possible and much easier than the other way around. Technically, when you decide to use TPUs, you are limited to GCP as your provider, that is true. However, leaving TPUs to use GPUs is not an impossible task. Unless you make use of the TPUs amazing scaling capabilities, a migration to GPUs and a different provider is always an option. Myth 6: TPUs require unique software The first TPUs were developed together with the TensorFlow library. Back in 2018 when Google released the first TPUs to their customers, it was indeed the case that your application written for TPUs would not be compatible with other accelerators. Luckily, over the years since then, the software landscape has changed dramatically. Many abstraction layers were added and support for TPUs is now present in popular software solutions. For example the JAX library — it supports TPUs, GPU and CPUs alike. The situation is especially easy when it comes to inferencing. vLLM supports plenty of models on TPUs as well as on GPUs. Similarly, MaxText can handle both accelerator types out of the box. If you're looking for a platform to run your models, it's a great idea to give TPUs a try, as jumping between the accelerator platforms has never been easier. What's next? In the next post, I will dive into more technical aspects of TPUs and their supporting systems. After all, the efficiency of an AI system is not dependent only on its accelerator speed. Networking and storage are also very important and while storage is pretty much the same for TPU systems as it is for GPU systems, networking is a lot more complicated. Stay tuned for the next article and keep an eye on the official Google Cloud blog and GCP YouTube channel!","tickers":["goog"]},{"id":"563817098776508636","title":"Google renames brand-new ProducerAI music editor to ‘Google Flow Music’","url":"https://9to5google.com/2026/04/20/producerai-becomes-google-flow-music/","site":"9to5google.com","time":1776701463000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/9to5google.com.ico","tags":["goog"],"description":"In addition to new features for Google’s new music production tool, ProducerAI is already getting a name change to Google Flow Music. more…","tickers":["goog"]},{"id":"2592899987445341059","title":"Google Slashes Canadian Prices on Pixel 10 and Pixel Watch in Spring Sale","url":"https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/2026/04/20/google-slashes-canadian-prices-on-pixel-10-and-pixel-watch-in-spring-sale/?utm_source=rss\u0026utm_medium=rss\u0026utm_campaign=google-slashes-canadian-prices-on-pixel-10-and-pixel-watch-in-spring-sale","site":"iphoneincanada.ca","time":1776701453000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/iphoneincanada.ca.ico","tags":["goog"],"description":"Google recently launched a fresh set of spring discounts on its latest hardware lineup, offering decent savings for Canadians looking to upgrade their smartphones and more.

The update fixes a few bugs, including one that affected iCloud data syncing in select apps. iOS 26.5 is in beta.

Is Tom Hooper finally out of director’s jail?Inflicting “Cats” upon us, Hooper appears ready to rejoin polite cinematic society, having already attached himself to the Natalie Portman–starring “Photograph 51,” and now setting up another project.Millie Bobby Brown, who recently exited the Netflix movie “Perfect,” is set to team up with Hooper, a directing Oscar winner, for an adaptation of her own New York Times bestselling novel “Nineteen Steps” for Netflix.Anthony McCarten, a four-time Oscar nominee (“Bohemian Rhapsody” and “The Theory of Everything”), is set to adapt Brown’s book into a screenplay.Set during World War II and inspired by Brown’s grandmother’s experiences, the novel—co-written with Kathleen McGurl—follows 18-year-old Nellie Morris from Bethnal Green in East London. Living through air raids, rationing, and separation from loved ones, Nellie struggles to maintain hope while forming a new romance with American airman Ray. Since the critical and commercial disappointment of “Cats,” Hooper decided to take a step back from filmmaking. He pivoted to commercials, directing ads for Vodafone, McDonald’s, Santander, and Vanish—because nothing says Oscar pedigree like stain remover.In February 2024, Hooper resurfaced, revealing he has been quietly developing new projects and is now itching to return to directing. Apparently, the feline nightmares have worn off.Let’s not forget: Hooper was once the Academy’s darling. From 2010 to 2015, he helmed the prestige trifecta—“The King’s Speech” (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay), “Les Misérables” (eight nominations, three wins), and “The Danish Girl” (an Oscar for Alicia Vikander). Then came “Cats,” and the curtain fell hard.","tickers":["nflx"]},{"id":"-8884636822789062269","title":"Motley Fool Asset Management’s Top AI Stock Pick: Amazon.com (AMZN)","url":"https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/motley-fool-asset-managements-top-ai-stock-pick-amazon-com-amzn-1741152/","site":"insidermonkey.com","time":1776699770000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/insidermonkey.com.ico","tags":["amzn"],"description":"We just covered the 10 Best AI Stock Picks of Motley Fool Asset Management.

Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) ranks #5 (see the 5 Best AI Stock Picks of Motley Fool Asset Management). Motley Fool Asset Management’s Stake: $113.64 Million AMZN shares are up 45% over the past year. But does the stock have more room to run? Cloud remains the biggest long-term catalyst for Amazon. It has a roughly 30–32% share of the global cloud infrastructure market, ahead of Microsoft and Google. The Cloud business generates operating margins estimated at around 30%, significantly higher than traditional retail margins. As companies deploy AI applications at scale, they need reliable Cloud solutions, and that’s where Amazon can benefit. How? AWS has a strong moat because of the reliability and scalability it provides to large corporations. It benefits from high switching costs and long-term contracts, as migrating enterprise systems can cost millions and take years, helping maintain stable recurring revenue. AWS ecosystem of services is another strong business moat. Unlike Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, AWS offers 240+ cloud services, allowing companies to build, train and deploy AI models, store data, run applications and manage cybersecurity within one platform, increasing switching costs and strengthening customer lock-in over time. E-commerce and ads are strong growth fundamental catalysts for the stock. Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) controls roughly 40% of U.S. e-commerce, which gives the company access to consumer purchase data. This creates a goldmine for advertisers to target users, and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is tapping into that opportunity. Amazon’s ad segment has been growing around 20% annually in recent years and already generates tens of billions in yearly revenue, making it one of the largest digital advertising platforms behind Google and Meta. TCW Relative Value Large Cap Fund stated the following regarding Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter: “Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a $2.3 trillion internet company headquartered in Seattle, WA. The investment catalyst is new products/markets. AWS has been less impacted by the wave of AI spending than its hyperscale peers as they have …” (Click Here To Read The Letter in Detail) Copyright: jwsc101 / 123RF Stock Photo [im-yf-promo] While we acknowledge the potential of AMZN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Subscribers of streaming services certainly are sick and tired of price hikes, yet users often have little recourse other than simply canceling their accounts. But for users in Italy, they may soon receive some monetary compensation for nearly a decade’s worth of price jumps. A court in Rome has ruled that Netflix’s subscription price increases in Italy over the past seven years were illegal, declaring them void under the country’s consumer protection code and ordering the company to reimburse affected subscribers. There are roughly 5.4 million Netflix subscribers in Italy, or about 2% of its 325 million global total, according to Italy’s communications authority. The ruling, brought forward by consumer advocacy group Movimento Consumatori, found that Netflix violated Italian law by raising fees between 2017 and January 2024 without providing valid justification to subscribers. Under the decision, Netflix must reduce current subscription fees to pre-hike levels, reimburse overpaid amounts, and publish notice of the April 1 ruling on Netflix Italia’s website as well as in major national newspapers. According to lawyers representing the consumers, unlawful increases on the Premium plan across 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2024 total roughly €8 ($9.22) per month, while Standard plan overcharges amount to €4 per month. A Premium subscriber who has paid continuously since 2017 could be entitled to approximately €500 ($577) in refunds, with Standard subscribers eligible for around €250 ($288). Netflix has been given 90 days to comply, facing a daily fine of roughly €700 ($800) for delays, though the company’s planned appeal could postpone enforcement. A Netflix spokesperson told Fortune: “We will file an appeal against the decision. At Netflix, our members come first. We take consumer rights very seriously, and we believe our terms have always been in line with Italian law and practices.” According to Italian consumer law, companies cannot unilaterally alter subscription prices without stating a legitimate justification in the contract. Netflix’s terms, the court found, included only generic price-change clauses that gave subscribers the option to cancel but never articulated specific reasons for increases. Under Italian and broader EU law, the freedom to cancel is not the same as consent to new terms. Movimento Consumatori president Alessandro Mostaccio said more than 25,000 Netflix subscribers had filed complaints with the organization over the years about the price increases. He warned that if Netflix fails to promptly lower prices and issue refunds, the group would initiate a class action lawsuit to reclaim the funds. Meanwhile, the Netherlands has recently started a similar class action suit against the company. Germany and Spain have already filed legal challenges invoking the same 1993 EU Directive on unfair contract terms. Courts in Berlin and Cologne have previously ruled that generic price-change clauses are void. Netflix announced a global price hike across its three subscription tiers on March 26, just six days before the Italian ruling dropped.

Fans and peers have wished him a speedy recovery after he shared updates on Instagram. Billy Strings' injury has been confirmed following a skateboarding accident on Saturday. The American bluegrass artist shared a graphic X-ray on Instagram revealing a broken tibia and fibula sustained in a skateboarding fall that cut short his concert over the weekend. The incident occurred backstage at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia, moments before his encore performance. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Billy Strings (@billystrings) Injury and Aftermath Strings reportedly attempted a kickflip while skateboarding towards the stage between songs but lost his balance and fell heavily on the pavement. The accident resulted in a broken leg, though Strings managed to get up and leave the stage. pic.twitter.com/dFzKbKRWCK— Boobie Dixon (@Boobie26v4) April 19, 2026 Crew members assisted him into a wheelchair shortly afterwards, according to Live for Live Music. Video footage captured by an attendee shows Strings lying on the ground in pain after the fall and being moved away from the stage area. One ticket holder also shared a clip of Strings performing moments before the accident. 'Missed out on the encore, but he tore the house down,' they wrote. Another fan posted a concert highlight with the caption, 'Moments before Billy Strings broke his leg.' A 911 dispatch call confirmed that an artist had suffered a broken leg, with personnel coordinating to transport Strings out of the arena discreetly. An ambulance was later seen leaving the venue bound for the UVA Medical Centre. Peers and Fans Wish for Speedy Recovery Fans flooded the comments on Strings' Instagram post with messages of support, including comedian Theo Von, who wrote, 'Heal up, champ.' Members of the band Thursday added, 'Get well soon, sir,' while others commented, 'You got this, Billy' and 'Billy, I hope it's a swift recovery.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Billy Strings (@billystrings) Strings later reassured fans that all was well despite the mishap by posting highlights from Saturday's concert. Fans praised the performances, with many urging the artist to take his time recovering. 'May your medical team get you on the path to healing. We hope for a good recovery, no matter how long it takes. We'll be here when you're ready!' one user wrote. Strings had recently posted clips of himself skateboarding, including a jump shot before night one in Charlottesville, showcasing his skill. No full video of the failed kickflip appears to be publicly available, but clips show him rolling in pain backstage. According to his official events website, Strings is still scheduled to perform sold-out shows in Charleston, West Virginia, and Fishers, Indiana. His team has yet to update fans on his condition. Strings has four events left in April, followed by two shows in Austin, Texas, in July. Career Breakout and Rise to Stardom Born William Lee Apostol in October 1992, Strings rose from a troubled Michigan childhood to bluegrass stardom. His stepfather introduced him to the genre, blending influences from rock, metal and jam bands into his virtuosic flatpicking style. He gained attention with his 2017 debut album Turmoil \u0026 Tinfoil, which pushed bluegrass boundaries with psychedelic elements. His 2019 breakthrough Home topped Billboard's Bluegrass Albums chart and won a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album in 2021. The International Bluegrass Music Association named Strings Guitar Player of the Year in 2019. Known for high-energy live shows, he has performed with music icons including Willie Nelson and Dead \u0026 Company. He is also credited with redefining modern bluegrass, often drawing on his personal struggles with addiction in his songwriting.","tickers":["meta"]},{"id":"-114670437342985473","title":"Apple's upcoming earnings could be 'clearing event' for stock, Morgan Stanley says","url":"https://seekingalpha.com/news/4576697-apples-upcoming-earnings-could-be-clearing-event-for-stock-morgan-stanley-says","site":"seekingalpha.com","time":1776699235000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/seekingalpha.com.ico","tags":["aapl"],"tickers":["aapl"]}],"last_id":"-114670437342985473"}
