Summary
Bitcoin news and economic news update. Today I cover Christine Lagarde’s warning on euro-denominated stablecoins, the IMF’s concern that AI could increase cyber risk in the financial system, AI agents as possible crypto users, Block’s bitcoin-related quarterly loss, stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data, Stratum V2 mining adoption, GameStop’s eBay bid, and the rise in crypto wrench attacks.
