Across coverage

Bitcoin briefly crossed $84,000 as shorts were liquidated. Live price, ETF flows and the $82,300 support test show whether the breakout can hold.

The proposed U.S.-China AI incident channel arrives as Asian chip shares rally, but export controls remain the decisive issue for TSMC investors.

Jensen Huang rejects AI-extinction forecasts but backs safety engineering. Nvidia’s stake in faster deployment makes the policy argument more complicated.

Trump says a proposed D.C. arch would house drones, snipers and ammunition. The operating plan, agency and safety controls remain undisclosed.
