The US launches strikes on Iran and the global power balance is shifting fast. Ken Egan breaks down the geopolitics, from the BRICS setback to what happens when Trump meets Xi in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the White House is taking sides against the banks on the GENIUS Act as the stablecoin yield fight heats up ahead of midterms. Plus, BPI drops a groundbreaking study where they tested 36 AI models across 9,000+ conversations, and Bitcoin was chosen nearly 50% of the time without ever being mentioned in the prompts. Luke Danielian walks through the findings and Zack Shapiro explains why machine-to-machine commerce is about to reshape financial regulation.
