🚀 Tether CEO Advocates for Open AI Development
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has expressed his views on the development of artificial intelligence, stating that AI should be as open as freedom. According to Odaily, Ardoino criticized the centralized approach to AI development, describing it as a 'dead end.' In contrast to the closed AI systems being developed by major tech companies, Tether is exploring alternative methods through QVAC, which focuses on running AI models on local devices. This approach aims to give users control over their data and computing power, aligning with the crypto industry's core principle of self-custody, where users maintain autonomy over their data and computational resources.

🚀 France Advocates for Enhanced Crypto Regulations Amid MiCA Concerns
French authorities are advocating for stricter cryptocurrency regulations, focusing on stablecoins issued by non-European entities. According to NS3.AI, a Bank of France official, Denis Beau, has called for tighter limits under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, specifically targeting non-euro stablecoin payments. Beau expressed concerns that the current MiCA rules only partially mitigate risks associated with the widespread adoption of these stablecoins.
In addition, France's National Assembly has adopted a provision requiring self-custody reporting for cryptocurrency holdings exceeding a 5,000 euro threshold. However, this measure has not yet completed the legislative process, indicating ongoing discussions and potential adjustments before final implementation. The move reflects France's proactive stance in addressing regulatory challenges posed by the evolving crypto landscape.
