The White House plans to restart cooperation with Anthropic
According to people familiar with the matter, the White House is developing guidance that allows agencies to bypass Anthropic's supply chain risk determination and introduce new models, including Mythos. A draft administrative measure currently being drafted could provide a way for the government to de-escalate the conflict with Anthropic. One source described the White House's efforts as "both saving face and getting them back." Earlier this month, White House Chief of Staff Wiles and Treasury Secretary Besenter met with Anthropic CEO Dario, both of whom described as a productive initial meeting to discuss how the company and the government can work together. The White House is convening companies across industries this week to provide input on potential executive actions and best practices for deploying Mythos. These meetings include a "trial reading" of possible guidance documents that may withdraw previous directives from the Office of Management and Budget that governments should not use Anthropic.

The Canadian federal government plans to ban cryptocurrency ATMs to combat scams
The Canadian federal government announced in its spring economic update report released on Tuesday that it plans to ban cryptocurrency ATMs to protect citizens from scams. The government defines cryptocurrency ATMs as the primary means by which scammers, victims of fraud, and criminals transfer illicit funds. FINTRAC's previous analysis revealed that cryptocurrency ATMs have become the primary channel for scammers in Canada to obtain victims' funds. With such devices unbanked and lack of manual audits, funds are transferred quickly and difficult to trace. Canada currently has nearly 4,000 cryptocurrency ATMs, ranking first in the world in per capita ownership. The Canadian government said the measure aims to ensure that citizens purchase virtual currency through physical money service businesses while better protecting against illegal activities. Previously, countries such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia had implemented restrictions or bans against cryptocurrency ATMs.

RedStone has launched a settlement layer aimed at addressing the RWA liquidity gap in DeFi lending
According to ChainCatcher news, RedStone, a decentralized oracle service provider, has officially launched RedStone Settle, a settlement layer product for decentralized finance, aiming to solve the structural obstacles faced by tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) as collateral for lending protocols. The core mechanism of this product is on-chain auctions: when a lending protocol triggers a liquidation event, liquidity providers can immediately intervene to purchase relevant positions, provide instant liquidity to the protocol, and bear the risk of delayed redemption of the underlying assets themselves. This move aims to bridge the mismatch between the near-instant liquidation required by DeFi platforms like Aave and the redemption cycles typically ranging from 60 to 180 days for RWAs, including tokenized funds and bonds. RedStone said the solution is expected to activate over $30 billion in tokenized RWAs currently idle in DeFi and enable users to borrow and borrow in interest-bearing positions more efficiently. According to RWA.xyz data, after excluding stablecoins, the current tokenized RWA market size has exceeded $30 billion, mainly dominated by US Treasury bond exposure and private credit products.

Eric Trump responds to Forbes' criticism: ABTC BTC holdings exceed 7,000, making it the 16th largest listed Bitcoin company
According to ChainCatcher news, Trump's second son Eric Trump responded to Forbes for criticizing him for using Bitcoin business to arbitrage large amounts of money and harm MAGA investors. Eric called Forbes a shame on journalism. Just over a year ago, American Bitcoin (ABTC), the Bitcoin company, did not exist. Listed on Nasdaq 7 months and 25 days ago, ABTC today holds more than 7,000 Bitcoins, making it the 16th largest publicly traded Bitcoin company in the world, backed by a huge cluster of nearly 90,000 mining machines, 28 EH/s of hashrate, and access to the highest quality energy in the United States. In Q4 alone, Bitcoin on the balance sheet increased by 58%, mining costs were 53% lower than Bitcoin's market price, and Q4 revenue reached $78.3 million, up 22% QoQ. American Bitcoin is arguably the fastest company in this space to break into the "Top 100" rankings and is actively expanding its mining scale every day. This narrative is the same as Forbes' argument back then. ChainCatcher previously reported that Forbes published an article criticizing Trump's second son Eric Trump's Bitcoin business as a disaster, and pointed out that Eric Trump's promotion of his Bitcoin company American Bitcoin (ABTC) as a money printing machine is actually just an arbitrage tool dedicated to harming investors who support MAGA (Make America Great Again).

Forbes slammed Eric Trump for using large arbitrage in the Bitcoin business to harm MAGA investors
ChainCatcher news, Forbes published an article criticizing Trump's second son Eric Trump's Bitcoin business as a disaster, and pointed out that Eric Trump's promotion of his Bitcoin company American Bitcoin (ABTC) as a money printing machine is actually just an arbitrage tool to harm investors who support MAGA (Make America Great Again). American Bitcoin, founded in 2025 and quickly listed on Nasdaq, has boosted its valuation to $13.2 billion with the help of the Trump family brand and the Bitcoin craze. Eric Trump touted the company as a "leader in the Bitcoin world" during its earnings call, but the company actually has only a handful of full-time employees and relies primarily on story marketing rather than solid operations. While the company continued to sell shares to buy Bitcoin at high valuations, Eric raised his personal wealth from about $190 million to $280 million, and other insiders also made huge profits. At the same time, ordinary investors, especially MAGA supporters, have suffered heavy losses. American Bitcoin stock has fallen by about 92% from its peak over the past eight months, resulting in cumulative losses of about $500 million among investors. Forbes questioned the actual profitability of American Bitcoin's Bitcoin mining business, arguing that its advertised "half-price mining" was difficult to achieve and was more about using the Trump brand for high-priced stock dumping.
