UN: Ad spending tops $1T but AI risk fueling misinformation

Tech　　UN: Ad spending tops $1T but AI risk fueling misinformation　　Global advertising spending topped $1 trillion annually, according to the United Nations (UN), but the untapped power of major brands to shape the future of artificial intelligence (AI) could fail to act and deepen global information integrity.　　In a new brief, the UN, together with the Department of Global Communications and the Conscious Advertising Network, reiterated that unchecked AI adoption in advertising can accelerate risks across the whole digital information ecosystem.　　The brief, titled “Strengthening Information Integrity: Advertising, Artificial Intelligence and the Global Crisis,” noted that the advertising sector plays a significant role in how information flows online, with its “spending decisions influencing which content is produced, amplified and monetised.” As AI tools become more popular and embedded in content generation and media buying, the risk of spreading false information may increase.　　“People are increasingly relying on AI to make decisions and shape their understanding of the world without the literacy or information needed to assess its safety and reliability. These dynamics are compounded by the use of AI to create and distribute false and hateful content at scale, contributing to a broader erosion of trust in information sources,” the UN warned. “Advertising may

Dominance of Tether and Circle is a net bad for stablecoins, says Bridge executive

Miami Beach — The stablecoin universe, dominated by Tether and Circle, hampers competition that could lead to better product-market fit for some important use cases, according to Ben O‘Neill, Bridge’s head of money movement.　　“I think it‘s a net bad for the growth of stablecoins as a whole, because you have two counterparties that have pros and cons to what they’ve built, and the design choices they‘ve made. But they don’t work for every use case,” ONeill said on a panel about stablecoin growth at Consensus Miami.　　Tether‘s USDT, with its gargantuan market capitalization of approximately $189.5 billion, and Circle’s USDC, which has grown to around $71 billion, each emerged at different generational eras in the crypto evolution.　　Tether, launched in 2014 as Realcoin, won the Chinese export trade, ONeill said, and built this shadow economy of dollars that people can use without the U.S. financial system. Circle, launched in association with Coinbase in 2018, sought to do the exact opposite: a U.S.-regulated stablecoin, which later leaned hard into decentralized finance (DeFi).　　For ONeill, the perspective of a large payments firm, such as Bridge-owner Stripe, illustrates the shortcomings of the two dollar-pegged token giants.　　“As a payments company, I need certainty on how things are

Solana Sees Rising Social Hype, Yet Network Activity Is Falling

Tech　　Solana Sees Rising Social Hype, Yet Network Activity Is Falling　　Data shows social media sentiment around Solana has been rising recently, but network utility has actually followed the opposite path.　　Solana Active Addresses Have Been On The Decline　　In a new post on X, analytics firm Santiment has talked about how a couple of key metrics related to Solana have changed recently. The indicators in question are the Positive/Negative Sentiment and Daily Active Addresses.　　First, the Positive/Negative Sentiment compares the bullish and bearish sentiments related to a given asset that are currently present on the major social media platforms. The indicator works by first separating positive and negative comments containing mentions of the asset using a machine-learning model and then taking the ratio of their counts.　　As the chart below shows, the Positive/Negative Sentiment has been going up for Solana recently, implying an improvement in investor mood around the cryptocurrency.　　Back in February, the indicator had plummeted for Solana as a consequence of the price crash. But even then, its value didnt drop below the 1 level, meaning that sentiment never outright turned bearish, at least from the perspective of this metric.　　From the graph, its visible that the improvement in sentiment was gradual at first, but

Stablecoin Industry Opposes Bank of England’s Unhosted Wallet Ban

Tech　　Stablecoin Industry Opposes Bank of Englands Unhosted Wallet Ban　　As the UK considers options to attract and develop the crypto industry at home, the Bank of England (BOE) has put forward several proposals for how it might regulate stablecoins to mitigate perceived financial risks.　　These have included a ban on custodial wallets for stablecoin holdings. The UK crypto industry, from stablecoin issuers to Bitcoin hardliners, has predictably taken issue with the ban.　　“This would be a serious misstep for the UK, risking long-term damage that is hard to unwind,” said Benoit Marzouk, CEO of stablecoin issuer tGBP told Cointelegraph.　　Ban could hamper operability and competitiveness　　At the heart of the BOEs approach to stablecoins, which it recently discussed in a series of inquiries before the House of Lords, is protecting the UK banking system.　　The bank argues that unhindered access to stablecoins, which can offer higher yields than traditional banking products, could lead to a run on deposits, and therefore on credit availability from UK banks.　　In March, Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden the House of Lords Financial Services Regulation Committee that BOE is “open to other ways of achieving the objective” of credit availability.　　“But I think you would expect us as the financial stability

Ondo Finance Clears First XRP Ledger Treasury Redemption Into Singapore Bank

Tech　　Ondo Finance Clears First XRP Ledger Treasury Redemption Into Singapore Bank　　Ondo Finance, a leader in the tokenized asset space, announced May 6 the successful completion of the first near-real-time, cross-border redemption of a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund. The pilot program, conducted in collaboration with J.P. Morgans Kinexys, Mastercard, and Ripple, is seen as a significant milestone in bridging the gap between public blockchain infrastructure and global banking systems.　　The transaction involved Ripple redeeming a portion of its holdings in the Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries (OUSG) fund. The redemption was executed on the XRP Ledger and triggered a fiat settlement through the Mastercard Multi-Token Network (MTN).　　Ripple characterized the successful test as a foundational shift for the industry.　　“This is a meaningful step toward 24/7 global financial markets,” Ripple said in a statement. “By combining the XRP Ledger with global banking infrastructure, this pilot shows how institutions can execute cross-border transactions in a single integrated flow.”　　The settlement process used J.P. Morgan‘s Kinexys blockchain infrastructure to initiate the fiat payment. The funds were then routed through the bank’s correspondent network to be delivered to Ripples bank account in Singapore. This workflow demonstrates that tokenized assets can be liquidated and settled across international borders and

LINK Price Prediction: $14.40 Target Emerges as ETF Momentum Accelerates

The Immediate Setup　　Chainlink is displaying textbook breakout behavior at $9.92, sitting comfortably above its entire moving average stack for the first time in months. The 3.55% daily surge pushed LINK through the $9.77 upper Bollinger Band, signaling institutional money positioning ahead of the Bitwise Spot Chainlink ETF approval. With RSI at 65.33 – positioned in the bullish zone without being overbought – and both retail (64.5% long) and smart money (69.3% long) aligned, the setup points toward continuation rather than reversal.　　The derivatives market tells an even stronger story. Despite a 4.83% drop in open interest, the aggressive buying pressure (1.2019 buy/sell ratio) indicates fresh capital entering rather than short covering. When Blockchain.news analyzed similar ETF-driven momentum in other major cryptos, the pattern typically lasted 2-4 weeks before meaningful corrections.　　Key Levels Exposed　　The technical architecture favors bulls right now. LINK has decisively reclaimed the $9.34 SMA-20 as support, with the entire short-term moving average cluster ($9.36 SMA-7, $9.40 EMA-12, $9.29 EMA-26) acting as a launching pad. The immediate resistance at $10.06 looks fragile given the momentum, but the real battle will be at $10.19 strong resistance.　　The 200-day moving average at $11.57 represents the final technical hurdle before higher targets become accessible.
