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

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

Fears of AI-driven DeFi hack epidemic overstated for now — but not for long

A wave of high profile crypto hacks in April that many suspected had been orchestrated using sophisticated AI tools to identify smart contract exploits, led to fears that every DeFi protocol was suddenly at risk.　　In May, Manuel Aráoz, founder of the blockchain security platform OpenZeppelin, declared “all of DeFi unsafe” following $630 million in crypto losses from exploits in April.　　But even as the industry braced for the scenario of DeFi protocols falling like dominoes to agentic AI, the stream of attacks seemed to ebb.　　That led Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi to declare recently that fears of a DeFi “hackpocalypse” were a “false alarm.” He pointed out that even including Aprils big hacks, the year to date has seen “a lower rate of hacked $ per month” and that the “median hack size by year is also declining.”　　So whos right？ Are the fears of an AI driven hacking epidemic totally overblown, or is this just the lull before the storm？　　“I think the ‘hackpocalypse’ narrative is overstated if it suggests AI has already replaced compromised keys, weak infrastructure and human error as the main causes of Web3 losses,” Stephen Ajayi, Hackens leading offensive security engineer, tells Magazine.　　But he adds that doesnt mean

Robinhood CEOs X account hacked in apparent memecoin scam

One or more hackers took over Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenevs X account on Thursday after a post appeared promoting a fake memecoin based on the company called “VLAD” and included what appeared to be a malicious token contract address.　　The post attracted more than 175,000 views in less than 20 minutes before users identified it as a scam and warned others not to interact with the token.　　Source: Vlad Tenev　　Robinhood had not confirmed the hack at the time of publication. While the company has expanded aggressively into digital assets, including tokenized stocks, crypto staking, perpetual futures and Robinhood Chain, it has never launched a memecoin.　　The compromise was reported by onchain data provider Onchain Lens. Robinhood Chain‘s blockchain explorer has since labeled the token’s contract address as a scam.　　Hacks and scams continue to plague the crypto industry, with attackers increasingly shifting toward phishing campaigns, according to Nominis. That trend comes even as the total value stolen through crypto scams has declined in recent months.
