More →Character.AI was valued at $1 billion before bankruptcy, and Disney is now offering $20 million.

Character.AI's financial problems intensified, and despite retaining about 12 million users, it was still losing approximately $8 million to $9 million per month.

Blue Origin plans to increase the launch frequency of its New Glenn heavy rocket to multiple times per week by 2030.
Blue Origin plans to increase the launch frequency of its New Glenn heavy rocket to multiple times per week by 2030, setting ambitious production and operational targets in a bid to challenge SpaceX's dominance in the global launch market. The plan requires a substantial expansion of manufacturing capacity, launch infrastructure, and operational reliability. Blue Origin has already invested more than $3 billion in its production and rocket integration facilities in Florida, and plans to invest an additional $330 million in expansion to support a higher-capacity version of the New Glenn rocket. Ian Richardson, Blue Origin's senior vice president of operations, outlined the expansion plan in a company blog post on Friday, saying the infrastructure project is critical to increasing launch frequency and operational efficiency. "These investments are all centered on one goal: building the capability to execute more missions more reliably and more efficiently. Looking ahead, this infrastructure is designed to achieve multiple launches per week by the end of this decade."

Bank for International Settlements: Stablecoins and bank deposits exhibit an asset substitution effect.
CoinWorld data: The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) latest working paper points out that there is a clear asset substitution effect between stablecoins and bank deposits. U.S. weekly empirical data shows that for every 1 basis point increase in bank deposit rates, the cumulative market capitalization growth rate of stablecoins over 10 weeks will decrease by about 3 percentage points (amplified to about 9 percentage points under the instrumental variable method). This substitution effect is much stronger for USDC (-4.8%), which is more closely tied to the United States itself, than for the offshore-dominated USDT (-1.9%), and it also holds in certificate of deposit (CD) and DeFi lending scenarios, indicating that bank deposit pricing can directly constrain the pace of stablecoin expansion.
