B3 Labs launches B3IQ to let users earn from idle Nvidia GPU servers

B3 Labs, a startup founded by former Coinbase employees, has introduced B3IQ, an AI infrastructure platform designed to help users monetize idle GPU server capacity. The platform allows individuals and businesses to purchase dedicated Nvidia GPU servers through installment payments, with the hardware hosted and operated in B3 Labs data centers. Once operational, users can earn revenue by making their unused computing resources available to external parties, such as research institutions and AI developers.　　How B3IQ works and who benefits　　B3IQ targets a growing need for affordable AI computing power. Instead of paying high upfront costs for expensive hardware, users can spread payments over time, lowering the barrier to entry for participating in the AI infrastructure economy. B3 Labs manages the technical aspects, including maintenance and uptime, making it a passive income opportunity for owners.　　The platform is already in use by research teams at prominent universities, including Stanford, New York University, and Dartmouth. These teams are leveraging the GPU resources for cancer research and training specialized AI models, demonstrating the platforms real-world impact beyond commercial applications.　　Funding and growth trajectory　　B3 Labs was founded in 2024 by alumni of Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange, and has raised over $21 million in funding.

Galaxy lowers CLARITY Act odds to 10%

Galaxy Digital has lowered its estimate of the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Acts chances of passing in 2026 to 10%.　　It warned that multiple political issues remain unresolved and the Senate will have only about two to three weeks to pass it when it reconvenes on Sept. 14.　　Unless an initial motion to proceed vote occurs immediately upon lawmakers‘ return to Washington, there would be enough time for the CLARITY Act to pass the Senate only if it “dominates basically the entire working session,” wrote Galaxy’s head of firmwide research, Alex Thorn, in a Friday X post.　　Thorn added that lawmakers would still have to work through multiple issues, including ethics rules for government officials involvement in crypto and pressure from banks over stablecoin yield provisions.　　Galaxy lowered its previous estimate from 60% to 50% on June 26, after cutting it from 75% to 60% on June 6. Its 75% estimate was set on May 22.　　The CLARITY Act aims to establish the first regulatory framework for digital assets in the US, but it has faced criticism. It cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May, but most Democrats and the banking industry pushed back, arguing that it would allow crypto firms to offer yields
