Onramp Raises $12.5M Series A To Scale Multi-Institution Bitcoin Custody Platform

Onramp has raised $12.5 million in a Series A round led by Early Riders, valuing the bitcoin financial services firm at $135 million as it pushes to scale a custody model designed to meet institutional standards.　　The Austin-based company told it now holds more than $1 billion in assets under custody and has recorded zero security incidents since its founding in 2023. The new capital will support expansion of Onramp Finance, its recently launched platform that combines bitcoin custody, brokerage, and cash management, while funding new partnerships across banks, registered investment advisors, and fintech firms.　　At the center of the strategy is Onramps Multi-Institution Custody (MIC) model, which distributes key control across several regulated custodians rather than relying on a single entity or placing full responsibility on clients. The system is built with partners including BitGo, Coincover, and Tetra Trust, allowing for shared control structures that can span jurisdictions.　　The approach targets a long-standing tradeoff in digital asset custody. Investors have often had to choose between centralized platforms with counterparty risk and self-custody setups that require technical expertise and operational oversight. Onramp positions MIC as a middle path that removes single points of failure while keeping assets verifiable on-chain.　　Institutional traction has begun to

OpenAI Pushes New ChatGPT Safety Features as Lawsuits Mount

OpenAI says ChatGPT can now better spot signs of self-harm or violence during ongoing conversations.The update comes as the company faces lawsuits and investigations over claims that ChatGPT mishandled dangerous conversations.OpenAI said the new safeguards rely on temporary “safety summaries” rather than permanent memory or personalization.　　OpenAI on Thursday announced new safety features designed to help ChatGPT recognize signs of escalating risk across conversations as the company faces growing legal and political scrutiny over how its chatbot handles users in distress.　　In a blog post, OpenAI said the updates improve ChatGPTs ability to identify warning signs tied to suicide, self-harm, and potential violence by analyzing context that develops over time instead of treating each message separately.　　“People come to ChatGPT every day to talk about what matters to them—from everyday questions to more personal or complex conversations,” the company wrote. “Across hundreds of millions of interactions, some of these conversations include people who are struggling or experiencing distress.”　　According to OpenAI, ChatGPT now uses temporary “safety summaries,” which it described as narrowly scoped notes that capture relevant safety-related context from earlier conversations.　　“In sensitive conversations, context can matter as much as a single message,” the company wrote. “A request that appears ordinary or ambiguous on

EU-China trade: Pragmatic stance and targeted risks – Standard Chartered

Standard Chartered economists Christopher Graham and Carol Liao discuss the EUs widening trade deficit with China, highlighting the autos sector as a key example of the imbalance. They note EU efforts to expand its trade policy toolkit and industrial strategy, while expecting China to maintain a restrained, pragmatic approach that preserves trade ties but leaves room for targeted actions.　　EU weighs broader trade policy response　　“EU officials are growing increasingly concerned with the blocs widening trade deficit with China. Although largely due to higher import volumes, it is also being driven by weakening export volumes to China.”　　“The autos sector has become symbolic of this trade shortfall, with EU vehicle imports from China increasing 10-fold since 2019, while EU exports to China have fallen sharply in the past few years.”　　“EU officials have cited overcapacity in China‘s manufacturing sectors as a key driver of this growing imbalance. This has played a significant role in the Commission’s efforts to expand its trade policy toolkit and develop a broader industrial strategy.”　　“A Commission-led debate at the end of May may be used to discuss new trade measures, potentially focused on dealing with Chinas perceived overcapacity.”　　“We expect Chinas strategy towards the EU will remain restrained and pragmatic amid
