Budget FY27: Simplified policies, digital overhaul to revamp business landscapeThrough an aggressive suite of structural reforms, the state is rolling out targeted overhauls spanning industrial licensing, tax automation, entrepreneurial incentives, and green energy deployment For decades, navigating the regulatory labyrinth of setting up and operating a business has been a premier grievance within Bangladesh's commercial ecosystem. Entrepreneurs seeking to establish industrial plants, expand operations, or deploy fresh capital have routinely run into a wall of multi-agency licensing requirements, opaque tax structures, and protracted administrative delays. This cumbersome framework inflated the "hidden costs" of doing business, catalyzed systemic operational uncertainties, and consistently bottlenecked the nation’s investment potential. Innovative technology platforms and startups will qualify for a 9-year corporate tax holiday, with additional tax incentives provided to companies that set up manufacturing bases outside Dhaka and Chattogram. To safeguard national energy security and reduce dependence on expensive imported fossil fuels, the budget introduces substantial fiscal exemptions for green tech. Customs duties on solar panels, inverters, and specialized industrial batteries will be dramatically reduced, backed by corporate tax exemptions on solar power generation. Renewable energy infrastructure investments will enjoy guaranteed tax concessions extending until 2035. Import tariffs on electric vehicles will be slashed, alongside tax breaks for entities setting up public EV-charging networks. To release billions in corporate capital currently tied up in gridlocked tax litigation, the budget institutes strict, statutory timelines for resolving tax disputes across Appeals, Tribunals, the High Court, and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. Forcing swift and time-bound legal conclusions protects corporate cash lines while ensuring a predictable revenue stream for the state. #PresidentialDebate #InnovationAhead #YiHeBinance #ValentinesDay2024 #satoshiNakamato

New Bitcoin quantum proposal offers Satoshi Nakamoto a way to prove control without moving BTCA new design proposed by venture fund Paradigm would let holders privately timestamp proof that they control vulnerable keys before quantum computers arrive, creating a possible rescue path if Bitcoin ever sunsets old addresses. The obvious defense is a soft fork (or an upgrade to existing network rules) that eventually stops allowing spends from those legacy address types, forcing holders to move into quantum-safe formats before attackers can derive their private keys. Prominent developer Jameson Lopp and five other developers proposed exactly that in mid-April through BIP-361, which would phase out quantum-vulnerable addresses on a five-year timeline and freeze any coins that fail to migrate. That proposal created a different problem, however. Satoshi, and every other long-dormant holder, would have to wake up publicly or risk losing access to their assets. Dan Robinson, a general partner at Paradigm, published a proposal Friday for a way around that trade-off that revolves around the concept of Provable Address-Control Timestamps, or PACTs. The core idea is not to move coins but timestamp proof of ownership at a specific date and reveal nothing to the public until the owners of those wallets actually need to spend. A holder generates a random salt, which is a piece of secret data used to make a cryptographic commitment unique and unguessable, and uses BIP-322, a standard for signing messages from a Bitcoin address without spending from it, to produce a proof of ownership. The salt and proof are bundled together into an onchain commitment and timestamp it through OpenTimestamps, a free service that anchors data onto the Bitcoin blockchain through a single batched transaction. The salt, proof, and timestamp files stay private. If Bitcoin later activates a soft fork that freezes quantum-vulnerable coins, the protocol could include a rescue path that accepts a STARK proof, a type of zero-knowledge proof that remains secure against quantum computers, showing the holder created their commitment before quantum hardware existed. The holder submits that proof when they want to spend, and the network releases the coins. The redemption reveals nothing about which address, which amount, or even when the original timestamp was created. These PACTs also address a specific gap in BIP-361 by including a rescue path for wallets derived through BIP-32, the deterministic key generation standard introduced in 2012. Pre-2012 wallets, including most of Satoshi's known addresses, do not use BIP-32 and cannot be rescued through that path. As such, Robinson stated that the PACTs require Bitcoin to eventually adopt a STARK verification protocol, which would itself need a separate soft fork with broad community consensus. The verification infrastructure does not exist in Bitcoin currently and would need what Robinson calls "substantial new plumbing," such as multisig wallets, complex scripts, and hardware wallet support that would all need careful standardization. That last constraint is the one PACTs cannot work around. The protocol only protects Satoshi if Satoshi himself, or whoever currently controls those keys, makes the commitment. If Satoshi is genuinely gone, no PACT can be retroactively created. The coins remain exposed to whichever scenario plays out first, quantum theft or community freeze. What PACTs do offer is a way to make the BIP-361 debate less binary. The current freeze proposal forces a choice between protecting against quantum theft and respecting dormant property rights. Whether Satoshi will use it is the question PACTs cannot answer. #PresidentialDebate #orocryptotrends #INNOVATION #UnicornChannel #yasirazam

Alameda moves $16 million in Solana's SOL token for possible creditor distributionAlameda unstakes $16 million worth of Solana's SOL token, according to Arkham. The latest move follows a familiar pattern: unstake coins and route them to addresses used to reimburse creditors. About a month ago, Alameda did the same, directing funds to the same distribution address. That prior move ultimately raised expectations that the funds were part of an ongoing creditor repayment process tied to the firm’s restructuring. While there has been no formal confirmation that this specific tranche will be distributed imminently, the repetition of the pattern suggests continuity in the process rather than an isolated movement. SOL, the native token of programmable blockchain Solana, has a market capitalization of $47.26 billion, which makes it the seventh-largest digital asset in the world. As of writing, SOL traded near $82, largely unchanged on a 24-hour basis, but down significantly from its all-time high of $293 hit in January last year. Alameda, founded by Sam Bankman-Fried in 2017, began as a quantitative trading shop focused on arbitrage opportunities in digital assets, exploiting price differences across exchanges and markets. At its peak, Alameda was a major liquidity provider across crypto markets and was deeply embedded in the ecosystem, trading billions in volume and operating across spot, derivatives, and structured products. Alameda still holds about 3.5 million SOL worth $294.10 million, per Arkham. #PresidentialDebate #orocryptotrends #InvestmentAccessibility #UnicornChannel #YourFavoriteInfluencer

NTSB says runway safety system did not activate before fatal Air Canada Express collisionWASHINGTON, April 23 (Reuters) - The National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday a key runway safety system failed to ​activate before a March 22 fatal collision between an Air Canada Express ‌jet and a fire truck that killed two pilots. The NTSB also said in its preliminary report that red runway entrance lights that indicate when it is not safe to cross a runway were ​on until about three seconds before the time of the collision. The ​NTSB said the system is designed to turn the lights off ⁠about 2 to 3 seconds before the airplane reaches each intersection. The Express CRJ-900 ​regional jet touched down roughly 2 seconds before the collision and was at 104 ​mph at the time of the crash. The NTSB is leading the investigation into the fatal collision of the CRJ-900 jet operated by Air Canada's regional partner Jazz Aviation. The crash sent 39 ​of the 76 passengers and crew to hospital, including six with serious injuries. The ​airport's ground surveillance system did not generate an alert warning of the proximity of vehicles to the ‌runway ⁠and the fire truck that collided with the jet lacked a transponder that would have transmitted its location to air traffic control. The turret operator in the truck involved in the collision recalled hearing the words "stop stop stop" (on the tower frequency) radio, ​but he did not ​know who that ⁠transmission was intended for and then heard "Truck 1 stop stop stop" and realized it was for their vehicle and subsequently ​noticed that they had entered the runway, the NTSB said. The ​NTSB said ⁠the local controller who was handling the Air Canada plane had about 18 years of experience and the ground controller who was also the controller-in-charge had about 19 years ⁠of ​experience, and was responsible handling aircraft that were taxiing. The ​Federal Aviation Administration has encouraged airports to equip fire trucks with transponders because it makes the vehicles' ​movements easier to track at busy airports. #PresidentialDebate #OopsieDaisy #IDKwhatIamdoing #UnlockAlert #YourFavoriteInfluencer

The NTSB also said in its preliminary report that red runway entrance lights that indicate when it is not safe to cross a runway were ​on until about three seconds before the time of the collision. The ​NTSB said the system is designed to turn the lights off ⁠about 2 to 3 seconds before the airplane reaches each intersection.
The Express CRJ-900 ​regional jet touched down roughly 2 seconds before the collision and was at 104 ​mph at the time of the crash.
The NTSB is leading the investigation into the fatal collision of the CRJ-900 jet operated by Air Canada's regional partner Jazz Aviation. The crash sent 39 ​of the 76 passengers and crew to hospital, including six with serious injuries.
The ​airport's ground surveillance system did not generate an alert warning of the proximity of vehicles to the ‌runway ⁠and the fire truck that collided with the jet lacked a transponder that would have transmitted its location to air traffic control.
The turret operator in the truck involved in the collision recalled hearing the words "stop stop stop" (on the tower frequency) radio, ​but he did not ​know who that ⁠transmission was intended for and then heard "Truck 1 stop stop stop" and realized it was for their vehicle and subsequently ​noticed that they had entered the runway, the NTSB said.
The ​NTSB said ⁠the local controller who was handling the Air Canada plane had about 18 years of experience and the ground controller who was also the controller-in-charge had about 19 years ⁠of ​experience, and was responsible handling aircraft that were taxiing.
The ​Federal Aviation Administration has encouraged airports to equip fire trucks with transponders because it makes the vehicles' ​movements easier to track at busy airports.

Stables CEO Says Migrant Flows Favor USDT, Driving 60% Cross-Border Dollar DemandAsia reportedly drives nearly half of global stablecoin flows, powering cross-border trade and institutional liquidity. Yet in the major banks of Singapore, Hong Kong, and Jakarta, reception to stablecoins remains distinctly cold. While some observers attribute this to a “generational gap” or a lack of technical understanding, Bernardo Bilotta, CEO and co-founder of Stables, argues that the reality is far more calculated. According to Bilotta, the reluctance of Asian banks to embrace stablecoins is not a failure of imagination but a masterclass in institutional self-preservation. For a commercial bank, the most critical asset on the balance sheet is not cash or property; it is the relationship with the central bank. In many Southeast Asian markets, the regulatory environment for digital assets remains a moving target. Taking on stablecoin exposure, even just for processing, means taking on reputational risk with the regulator before the rules are fully settled,” Bilotta said. In an environment where guidance can tighten significantly from one quarter to the next with little warning, the risk of a regulatory pivot makes long-term infrastructure investment a gamble most banks are unwilling to take. Beyond local regulators, Asian banks must answer to a global hierarchy. To facilitate international trade, these institutions rely on correspondent banking relationships with partners in New York and London. Bilotta points out a harsh reality of the current global financial plumbing: Compliance teams in Western financial hubs are notoriously risk-averse. If a bank in Jakarta or Bangkok begins dabbling in stablecoins, it risks being flagged by its Western partners. The threat of having a correspondent relationship terminated—effectively cutting a bank off from the U.S. dollar or euro markets—is a survival logic that far outweighs the potential profits of stablecoin integration. Even for banks willing to look past the risk, a new hurdle has emerged: regulatory fragmentation. Across Asia, jurisdictions are taking vastly different paths. Singapore, for instance, has embedded stablecoin rules into its existing Payment Services Act, while Hong Kong recently enacted a standalone Stablecoins Ordinance. Critics argue these silos hamper growth, as a token compliant in one city may face hurdles just an hour’s flight away. However, Bilotta views this not as a roadblock but as a necessary phase of convergence. Framing it as purely a problem misses what’s actually happening,” Bilotta said. “Singapore and Hong Kong have different approaches to the same goal: treating stablecoins as regulated payment instruments. The underlying principles—reserve backing, redemption rights, and AML compliance—are converging.” Until the cost of inaction exceeds the cost of action, the status quo holds,” Bilotta said. The cautious stance of Asian banks isn’t irrational—it is a defensive crouch. However, as the infrastructure layer becomes more robust and local-currency tokens begin to solve the “last-mile” problem, the pressure on these institutions will only grow. The question for Asia’s banking sector is no longer whether they understand the technology but how much longer they can afford to prioritize survival over evolution. #PresidentialDebate #IONToken #MantaRWA #NOTCOİN

Industry leaders are pouring hundreds of millions into a rescue plan for Aave users after massive crThe response to the DeFi recovery fund has quickly extended beyond Aave, and in some cases began with direct outreach. The exploit, which rippled into rsETH markets and created risk across lending positions on Aave, has prompted what is shaping up to be one of the most coordinated industry responses to a DeFi incident. There’s a shared priority around supporting users and restoring normal market conditions,” an Aave Labs spokesperson told CoinDesk. “Many of these participants are deeply connected to DeFi, whether through infrastructure, capital, or user access, and have a direct interest in ensuring markets function as expected.” At the core of the effort is Aave itself. A governance proposal outlines a plan for the DAO to allocate up to 250,000 ETH as part of the recovery. Founder Stani Kulechov has separately indicated he would donate 5,000 ETH personally. Other contributors within Aave’s orbit are also stepping in, including Aave’s Emilio Frangella (500 ETH), BGD Labs’ Ernesto Boado (100 ETH), BGD Labs (250 ETH), and KPK’s Marcelo Ruiz de Orlano (100 ETH).

Beyond the Smart Economy: John Wang on the Civilizational Shift Toward Silicon-Native AgencyThe evolution of the blockchain industry has long been defined by the “Smart Economy”—a world of programmable assets and automated contracts. However, according to John Wang, head of Neo ecosystem growth and managing director of Neo Ecofund, the industry is on the precipice of a more profound shift toward what he calls the “Sentient Economy.” In a recent discussion regarding the launch of Spoonos, Neo’s new framework for artificial intelligence (AI) agents, Wang detailed a future where the primary participants in the global economy may not be human at all. While the industry often treats AI and blockchain as separate silos, Wang views their integration as the foundation for a new economic class. The Sentient Economy is defined as an economic system where AI agents—rather than just human operators—can own assets, make autonomous decisions, and interact trustlessly onchain. Wang emphasizes that this movement is not merely about combining two popular technologies. Instead, it focuses on enabling AI agents to become real participants in the digital economy by ensuring they are verifiable, accountable, and composable. Under this framework, an AI agent is a sovereign economic entity. By living onchain, these agents can prove their identity, execute financial transactions without a human intermediary, and remain accountable through transparent, immutable code. To turn this vision into reality, Neo has introduced Spoonos. Positioned as the successor to the “Smart Economy” philosophy that Neo has championed since 2017, Spoonos provides the technical scaffolding for building and coordinating these autonomous agents. The framework currently supports a developer runtime and a unified data layer, allowing for the creation of agents that can reason using AI models while acting via blockchain infrastructure. Wang noted that the concept is already gaining institutional and developmental traction. Through strategic collaborations with industry leaders such as ChainGPT and Morph, Neo is actively cultivating a broader ecosystem where these agents can interact across different platforms and protocols. Despite the momentum, Wang remains candid about the significant obstacles standing in the way of a fully realized Sentient Economy. He noted that developer tooling remains in its early stages, meaning the kits required to bridge high-level AI reasoning with low-level blockchain execution are still being refined. Furthermore, the mechanisms for value capture by agents are still nascent, as the industry works to determine how agents will generate and retain value autonomously. Finally, the learning curve remains steep, requiring developers to master the complex intersection of AI, blockchain, and decentralized coordination. For Wang and the Neo ecosystem, this transition represents a natural progression in the utility of decentralized technology. If the last decade focused on making assets “smart” and programmable, the next decade is dedicated to making the economy itself “sentient.” As Wang summarized, the team previously built for programmable assets, but they are now building for “programmable intelligence.” As AI agents begin to manage portfolios, optimize supply chains and negotiate contracts on-chain, the Sentient Economy may soon transition from a visionary concept to the standard operating procedure of the digital world. Wang’s vision for the Sentient Economy extends far beyond decentralized finance, focusing instead on the capacity for AI to interpret the physical and digital worlds. During the Scoop AI Global Hackathon—which saw over 500 developers across Silicon Valley and London—Wang observed that the most compelling innovations were those that prioritized “probabilistic intelligence” over simple automation. One standout application involved using Spoonos to recursively derive mathematical curves from raw data, uncovering hidden causal relationships between unrelated phenomena. For Wang, this represents the true potential of the framework: creating agents that serve as a bridge between raw information and human understanding. To me, that’s the essence of the Sentient Economy—not just automating transactions, but building agents that perceive, reason and reveal structure in the world,” Wang said. He believes this shift will occur through quiet integration rather than a sudden technological upheaval. As these tools become more sophisticated, they will begin to fundamentally alter how society processes information and makes decisions. By the time people realize it’s happening, the Sentient Economy will already be here,” Wang predicted. “It won’t arrive with a big bang. It will quietly embed itself into how we observe, decide and act.” The Neo Ecofund managing director believes the global Web3 ecosystem is currently undergoing a “civilizational” transformation. He argues that the industry has moved past the era of purely digital property—focused on tokens and consensus—into a new phase defined by programmable cognition. For Wang, the most exciting shift is that blockchain is no longer just a tool for financial transactions; it has become the “coordination substrate” for autonomous, silicon-native agents. By providing AI with the cryptographic keys to reason, transact and persist on-chain, he suggests the industry is moving from building simple tools to “building minds.” He describes this transition as the opening of a “trustless civilization of sentient actors,” a shift so profound it transcends the importance of any specific technical token standard. In his view, this evolution from “programmable value” to “programmable intelligence” marks the beginning of a “new social physics” where humans, AI and hybrid intelligences interact in a unified, networked economy. As carbon-based intelligence gives way to silicon-native agents, we’re no longer just building tools—we’re building minds,” Wang said. “The moment we gave AI the keys to sign, transact, reason and persist—on-chain—we cracked open something far larger than a financial system.” #PresidentialDebate #orocryptotrends #UNIUSDT #InvestorFocused #TrumpNFT
