Musk‘s SpaceX Delays Starship’s 13th Flight to Friday as Company Stock Trades at Just $118

Key TakeawaysSpaceX delayed Starships 13th flight test to July 24 after a July 16 engine abort and weather scrub.SPCX shares have traded below their $135 IPO price since July 17, down nearly 23% since debut.Fridays window opens at 6:45 p.m. ET, with Starship set to deploy 20 Starlink V3 satellites.　　Third Setback in Just Over a Week　　SpaceX postponed the 13th flight test of its Starship rocket due to weather conditions, with the launch now targeted for Friday, July 24. Its the third disruption in barely a week for the vehicle Musk is counting on to eventually carry astronauts to the moon and beyond.　　The trouble began on July 16, when several of Booster 20‘s Raptor engines failed to ignite in the final second of the countdown. Musk described the failure on X as an automatic launch abort triggered when some of the engines didn’t start, and engineers swapped out two of the boosters Raptors before clearing it for another attempt.　　A follow-up try on July 23 also slipped, this time because ground-based cameras needed clear skies to capture detailed images of Starships heat shield tiles during ascent (data SpaceX considers essential to proving the vehicle can be reused).　　Friday‘s rescheduled attempt opens a 90-minute

Gemini sent $10M in Bitcoin to Trump PAC after joint motion with CFTC

With a court set to consider a reversal of a $5 million settlement from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission‘s (CFTC’s) case with cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, the company has sent $10 million in Bitcoin (BTC) to a super political action committee (PAC) supporting President Donald Trump.　　According to the MAGA Inc. Super PACs July report to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) filed on Monday, the Gemini Trust Company run by co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss sent two separate contributions of more than $5 million in Bitcoin on June 19.　　The donation, which the PAC may use for independent expenditures to support Trump, was recorded about three weeks after the CFTC filed a joint motion with Gemini in federal court in an attempt to reverse a January 2025 settlement over the company allegedly making false or misleading statements. CFTC Chair Michael Selig claimed at the time that the agency under former US President Joe Biden “politically targeted” the Winklevosses through enforcement actions.　　In addition to the recent MAGA Inc. contributions, the Winklevoss brothers each donated $1 million to Trump‘s 2024 election campaign and supported the then-candidate through social media posts. Following Trump taking office in January 2025, the twins attended the signing ceremony for

Coinbase Opens Payment Rails For AI Agents As Corporate Clients Accept Autonomous Transactions

The line between autonomous software and economic actor just got thinner. Coinbase confirmed this week that corporate customers on its platform can now accept payments directly from AI agents, a move that turns machine-to-machine transactions from a concept into a commercial feature. The capability, rolling out to business users, relies on the x402 protocol, an open standard developed and incubated by the exchange. The original report from CoinDesk details how the feature lets companies receive payment for services rendered to AI systems without a human in the loop.　　The move addresses a growing need as more AI-driven Web3 applications start executing tasks on behalf of users—whether thats booking compute, settling data feeds, or purchasing analytics. Until now, AI agents could initiate requests but rarely had the wallet permissions to complete a financial transaction. Coinbase is essentially bridging that gap with a protocol that authenticates and settles payments on-chain, turning the agent into a paying customer.　　What x402 Does Differently　　Unlike a simple API key that debits a pre-funded account, the x402 protocol creates a genuine payment flow. An AI agent receives a payment request, signs it with its on-chain identity, and the transaction is settled via the base layer. For the receiving business,

Japans First Spot Bitcoin ETF Could Arrive in 2028 as Rules Evolve

Key TakeawaysJapans FSA is weighing reforms that could allow spot bitcoin ETFs from 2028.SBI and Nomuras plans show 2 major firms expect stronger demand for regulated crypto access.Implementing the 20% tax rate for crypto could determine whether local ETFs gain traction.　　Japans Regulators Weigh Custody Standards for Crypto　　Japan is moving closer to permitting a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, a step that could open the countrys digital asset market to a broader group of institutional and retail investors.　　The July 15 approval by Japans National Diet, moving bitcoin and roughly 105 other crypto assets out of the Payment Services Act and into the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act removed a central legal obstacle to listing a bitcoin fund on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.　　A launch in 2028 is possible, but far from assured. Legal amendments, individual fund reviews and implementation of new crypto taxation rules could all delay trading beyond that date.　　SBI Holdings and Nomura are among the large Japanese financial groups reportedly preparing digital asset products ahead of any rule change. Their interest suggests firms expect demand to rise once Bitcoin exposure becomes available through familiar brokerage platforms.　　Regulation and Tax Policy Could Accelerate Bitcoin ETF　　Japan recently announced a major tax win for cryptocurrencies,

African Nations Eye State Bitcoin Mining as Kazakhstan Sets New Model

Several African countries are exploring state-backed Bitcoin mining as a way to monetize surplus energy and build strategic digital asset reserves.Kazakhstan has introduced a framework requiring industrial miners to contribute part of their Bitcoin production to a planned national crypto reserve.The shift reflects a broader trend of governments treating Bitcoin mining as an energy and reserve management strategy rather than a purely private industry.　　African governments are increasingly evaluating state-backed Bitcoin mining as a tool to monetize underutilized energy resources, following a broader global trend that now includes Kazakhstans newly approved framework linking industrial mining directly to a sovereign cryptocurrency reserve.　　Africas Energy Advantage Draws Attention　　Several African countries possess abundant hydroelectric, geothermal and natural gas resources that remain partially underutilized because of limited transmission infrastructure or weak domestic demand. Rather than leaving excess generation idle, policymakers are increasingly considering Bitcoin mining as a way to convert stranded electricity into digital assets.　　The approach has gained momentum as governments search for new sources of revenue, diversify national reserves and attract infrastructure investment without relying exclusively on commodity exports.　　While policy frameworks differ across the continent, the common objective is to transform surplus energy into productive economic assets.　　Kazakhstan Offers a New Blueprint　　Kazakhstan has become one of

Bitcoin slips below $65K as Trump unveils new global tariffs

Bitcoin has fallen below $65,000 after the Trump administration announced tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners covering more than 99% of U.S. trade.　　CNBC reported that the duties will take effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on Friday, replacing the temporary 10% global tariff scheduled to expire the same day. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has linked the measures to what it described as inadequate enforcement against goods made with forced labor.　　Bitcoin traded as low as $64,985 on Thursday, July 23, before briefly recovering above $65,000. crypto.news data showed the asset down about 1.5% over 24 hours, with its market capitalization standing near $1.3 trillion.　　Selling resumed after details of the tariff plan emerged, leaving the rebound above $65,000 short-lived.

Goldman Sachs CEO backs Clarity Act despite banking industry's concerns over stablecoin rules

Solomons endorsement contrasts with growing opposition from other major banking executives, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who have argued that the legislation could put traditional banks at a competitive disadvantage by allowing crypto companies to offer yield-bearing stablecoin products that resemble bank deposits without being subject to the same regulatory framework.　　Speaking to Fox Business in May, Dimon said he was dissatisfied with the latest version of the bill because “it allows them to effectively pay interest on deposits, stablecoins or something like that, without protection that they should have.”　　“The banks will not accept it that way,” Dimon said. “Im not worried about stablecoins but if it happened Im telling you I will have nothing to do with it and it will eventually blow up.”　　JPMorgan has also warned that crypto legislation should close regulatory gaps rather than create new ones. In a blog post published in June, executives at the bank argued that firms offering products that function like traditional bank accounts should face comparable oversight and consumer protections.　　The debate over stablecoin rewards has become one of the biggest sticking points in negotiations over the CLARITY Act. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has argued that banks are lobbying lawmakers to restrict
