Crypto's biggest players are placing massive bets this week.
A Peter Thiel-backed exchange is buying its way into traditional capital markets.

And Brian Armstrong’s crypto empire is betting that AI can replace hundreds of jobs.
One theme unites them: companies are all-in on their future vision.

Binance converted $1B in stablecoins into Bitcoin for its emergency reserve fund earlier this year.

Coinbase cuts 14% of staff, says AI will fill the gaps
CEO Brian Armstrong told employees the cuts reflect both a weaker market and faster AI tooling.
