Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said artificial intelligence infrastructure remains too expensive for widespread enterprise use, but that’s exactly what Amazon Web Services aims to change by developing its own chips and slashing inference costs. Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box , Jassy pushed back against speculation that recent advances in artificial intelligence model efficiency, such as those introduced by DeepSeek, would reduce the need for infrastructure buildout. “We have very high demand,” he said. “I don’t see us attenuating our building centers right now.” Jassy emphasized that AWS is experiencing no drop-off in AI infrastructure demand, despite macroeconomic uncertainty and the looming threat of tariffs. He explained that while more efficient models are welcome, the challenges of AI infrastructure are deeper and more persistent. “If you’re building frontier models like we are, you’re working on a lot of the same problems,” Jassy said. “The lower that we can make the cost of AI, the more customers are going to use it.” Jassy drew parallels between today’s AI shift and the early days of AWS. Lower costs per unit of compute, he said, often lead to increased customer spending—not less—as companies find new ways to innovate. “It allows them to save money in what they’re building, but they don’t spend less,” he said. “It unleashes them to do more innovation.” According to Jassy, there are two primary levers for reducing AI costs: the chips themselves and the cost of inference, the process of making predictions using trained models. While training dominates spending today, inference will become the cost center at scale. AWS has responded by building its own custom AI chips, which Jassy says deliver 30% to 40% better price performance than current GPU-based instances. He also noted that reducing inference costs involves advances in hardware and software techniques. Jassy framed the mission clearly: “If you sat in the meetings with the AWS team right now, they feel like it is their responsibility and their mission to make the cost of AI meaningfully less than today.” That push to lower AI costs is a potential catalyst for certain segments in the crypto sector. Notably, developers have long explored AI use cases but often hit a wall due to infrastructure and cost constraints. With more affordable technology to come within years, blockchain -native AI applications, from on-chain analytics to decentralized autonomous agents, could become more feasible at scale.

President Donald Trump has officially signed into law a resolution repealing the IRS DeFi Broker Rule established by the Biden administration. According to an Apr. 10 press release statement from Rep. Mike Carey (R-Ohio), who introduced the bill alongside Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the president’s signing of the bill marks a major legislative win for the crypto industry and its advocates in Congress. The bill repeals an IRS DeFi broker rule finalized at the end of 2024 that expanded the definition of “broker” to include decentralized finance platforms and other non-custodial digital asset services. The rule would have required DeFi platforms, wallet providers, and front-end protocol interfaces to collect user information and report crypto transaction data using Form 1099. “This is the first cryptocurrency bill ever signed into law and the first tax-related Congressional Review Act of Disapproval signed into law,” Rep. Carey said in a statement. He added that the rule “needlessly hindered American innovation” and would have overwhelmed the IRS with compliance demands it is unequipped to handle. “By repealing this misguided rule, President Trump and Congress have given the IRS an opportunity to return its focus to the duties and obligations it already owes to American taxpayers instead of creating a new series of bureaucratic hurdles.” — Mike Carey, Ohio Congressman The resolution, known as H.J.Res.25, passed the Senate on Mar. 4, 2025, and the House on Mar. 11. Due to its budget-related implications, the bill required a final Senate vote , which occurred on Mar. 26, before being sent to the president’s desk. Trump’s signature ensures the rule “shall have no force or effect,” and prevents the IRS from issuing a similar rule without explicit Congressional approval under the CRA. The White House had already voiced support for the resolution, calling the rule a “midnight regulation” introduced during the final days of the Biden administration. The signing comes amid a wider regulatory shift in Washington. In recent months, the Securities and Exchange Commission under acting chair Mark Uyeda dropped lawsuits against firms like Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken. On Apr. 8, the Department of Justice also disbanded its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, citing strategic missteps. In another major development, Paul Atkins, a long-time SEC commissioner and crypto advocate, is set to officially take office as the new SEC chair after Senate confirmation . With Atkins in office, industry insiders expect the agency to shift focus away from enforcement towards a more supportive environment for crypto innovation.

The current trade war and the tariff scheme recently paused by the Trump administration have analysts examining the new trade order that will result in the aftermath of these measures. Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, believes that bitcoin, due to its specific traits, will be favored after the normalization of this situation. Read more: Bitcoin Blazes Past $82K as Wall Street Roars on Trump’s 90-Day Tariff Timeout For Hougan, there is only one thing sure after the enactment of these tariffs: the Trump administration wants to fix a series of trade imbalances affecting the competitiveness of U.S. products in international countries. For this, Trump is considering a single solution: a weaker dollar, according to Steve Miran, chairman of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers. In the short term, Hougan claims that this will be good for bitcoin, given that a weaker dollar directly implies a stronger bitcoin, having an inverse relation. In the longer term, while devaluing the dollar might have a good effect on making U.S. products more exportable, it will also weaken the dollar’s role as the sole reserve currency. Hougan stated: We will move from a single reserve currency (the dollar) to a more fractured reserve system, with hard money like bitcoin and gold playing a bigger role than it does today. Hougan assessed that bitcoin represents a currency outside any country’s control and a scarce, global, digital store of value, making the case for its adoption alongside gold. Bitwise is still bullish about bitcoin, maintaining the same forecast for the prime cryptocurrency since January. Hougan concluded that $200K per bitcoin is a price that can still be reached this year, even with all the unknowns that can happen. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Major stock indexes slumped between 2.81% and 5.04% on Thursday in the wake of Wednesday’s afternoon rally. The crypto sector retreated by 3.54%, with bitcoin ( BTC) trading below the $80,000 threshold. Simultaneously, gold gained 2.58% over the past 24 hours, rising to $3,164 per ounce by 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time. In a recent video, Strike CEO Jack Mallers expressed a strong belief in bitcoin’s potential to decouple from traditional financial markets. He said that this was primarily because bitcoin is not tied to earnings like stocks or companies. Mallers argues that as countries and investors seek scarce reserve assets amidst economic uncertainty, bitcoin — alongside gold — will become increasingly attractive. Mallers advises bitcoiners to stay calm during market volatility, emphasizing the importance of understanding the nature of what they own. “Understand what you own,” Mallers explained. “Understand what we’re living through right now. Let the stock market puke and figure itself out.” He criticized Wall Street, describing it as filled with over-leveraged hedge fund managers who panic at minor market downturns and immediately call for bailouts. Mallers contrasts this with President Trump’s policies. Mallers insisted: Trump means business, whether you like it or not. Trump wants to help the poor American. Trump wants to create factory jobs. Trump wants to produce stuff here. Trump wants to fix the deficit problem. Mallers believes these policies, along with the need to stimulate the economy, will lead to significant money printing by the government. This debasement of fiat currency, according to Mallers, will be highly beneficial for bitcoin. As governments print more money to manage debt and economic challenges, the value of fiat currency will be debased, while bitcoin, being a scarce digital asset, will see its price surge dramatically. Mallers concluded: They’re gonna have to print so much money — they’re gonna have to. Bitcoin is really priced with how much fiat currency is sloshing around in the world. And in order for all of this to play out and work, we have to debase our currency, we have to devalue our debt, and we have to create more fiat. It’s gonna send bitcoin nuclear. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Liberland, a sovereign state located between Croatia and Serbia, is preparing to celebrate its 10th anniversary this weekend. The blockchain-based nation has already chosen leaders for its Congress ahead of building the next phase of its decentralization. Tron founder and Prime Minister of Liberland, Justin Sun, has publicly committed to supporting the nation’s infrastructure. He will be attending the much-anticipated event while setting the tone for the future. Former US Senator Rand Paul and blockchain entrepreneur Brock Pierce are also confirmed to deliver remarks. Justin Sun called the anniversary a “top priority” for both himself and his team. “This anniversary is a very big thing for Liberland as it will be a major event where all citizens can come together and share their vision,” he stated. While he might not attend in person, Sun confirmed he will participate virtually. He even expressed hopes that the gathering would “bring together more students, governments, and participants for Liberland as a country.” Sun’s message comes amid rising interest in the micronation’s efforts to build a blockchain-based governance framework. The self-declared libertarian micronation has long positioned itself as a testing ground for digital democracy and decentralized infrastructure. The crypto mogul has pledged the support of TRON’s technical team to help advance Liberland’s blockchain development, particularly as it moves toward Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. “We are going to be EVM-compatible, which will get more users exposure to the infrastructure,” he said, noting that adopting widely used standards will broaden participation in the nation’s governance protocols. EVM compatibility is a critical step for decentralized projects seeking to integrate with Ethereum’s expansive ecosystem of smart contracts and decentralized applications. In a political development timed with the event, Karnika E. Yashwant, known widely in blockchain circles as “Mr. KEY,” has been elected to Liberland’s Congress . His involvement adds further legitimacy to the blockchain-based nation’s institutional aspirations, as the micronation continues to attract high-profile figures from the crypto and political worlds alike. Mr. KEY, in a post, stated that when he first entered the blockchain space back in 2013, it wasn’t just the technology that caught his attention, it was the philosophy. He highlighted the idea of freedom encompassing the “Freedom of choice. Freedom of control. Freedom to build, to participate, to thrive.” He added that Liberland recognized these same values while saluting visionaries like Vit Jedlicka, Petr Krovina, and Samuela Davidova for carrying this vision forward. Crypto mogul Sun has also revealed plans to travel to the United States in May as part of a broader diplomatic and business outreach effort. It may include meetings with President Donald Trump. He stated, “If we have any agendas we want to push for Liberland in the US, we can definitely do that,” he said. As Liberland prepares to mark another year of its radical experiment in nation-building, Sun’s support represents a massive endorsement from one of the blockchain industry’s most visible figures.
