According to Foresight News, the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has successfully dismantled a cryptocurrency scam network, arresting 53 individuals suspected of cybercrime activities, including identity theft and fraud. The authorities have so far recovered approximately $200,000 in assets. However, investigations suggest that deposits linked to the operation could reach up to $3 million.

According to PANews, Glassnode co-founder Negentropic has observed that the ratio between Bitcoin futures and spot prices has reached its lowest point this year. Recent price movements have been notably volatile, with several false breakouts and failed declines. Currently, Bitcoin is attempting to return to the critical range of $97,200 to $98,500, which is considered a significant foundation for reaching the $100,000 mark. However, substantial fluctuations in the futures market at this level could trigger more liquidations and lead to price instability.

Odaily Planet Daily News The Kobeissi Letter published an article on X stating that both Musk and the CEO of Coinbase proposed putting all US spending on the chain, which means that the US $6.9 trillion in spending each year will be placed on a decentralized ledger. If deployed properly, US government spending will be safer. It explains that the ledger can be authorized to limit browsing, and fraudulent spending will be marked almost immediately. If handled correctly, it is almost impossible to be hacked. In addition, the blockchain can be publicly accessed to increase transparency. Currently, the US government's spending database is established in an "append-only" manner, which makes it almost impossible to search for specific words in the database and lacks transparency. For example, after weeks of data mining, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found the following: 62 contracts worth $182 million, all for "administrative expenses." This includes a $168,000 contract for an Anthony Fauci exhibition at the NIH Museum, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. In addition, the Pentagon was unable to account for 63% of its $3.8 trillion in assets during the audit; the Department of Defense said they had $3.8 trillion in assets and $4 trillion in liabilities, and their balance sheet was not even balanced. By using blockchain technology, payments can be easily tracked and even audits can be automated. This is why many large banks are already using blockchain. As of 2024, 56% of cross-border companies have incorporated blockchain technology into their operations. The Pentagon spent $1 billion auditing its 2018 financial situation, but failed the audit. Their goal is to pass the audit by 2028. If blockchain is used, more than $10 billion in costs can be saved. Another benefit is the elimination of "ghost beneficiaries". Blockchain can ensure that only eligible individuals can receive assistance programs, pensions, and social security, thereby reducing fraud. In 2022 alone, there were $13.6 billion in "improper" social security payments. The biggest disadvantage is that the program will encounter unprecedented legal obstacles and bureaucratic resistance, and the resistance will come from these inefficient beneficiaries. This is already starting to show up, as a federal judge has restricted Musk and DOGE’s access to the payment system. If the US government wants to eliminate deficit spending, it needs to cut spending by $5 billion a day. The US is now spending 44% of GDP per year, the same level as WWII. Most people would be surprised at how many “problems” would go away if deficit spending was eliminated.

Lenovo will also set up a regional headquarters in the city as part of this deal. Additionally, Google, Qualcomm, and Alibaba Cloud have announced initiatives focused on localized AI innovation. Other significant investments include commitments from Salesforce, Databricks, Tencent Cloud, and SambaNova, with investments of $500 million, $300 million, $150 million, and $140 million, respectively.
