Turkey is trying to connect underground fuel pipelines as part of a $28 billion infrastructure expansion by NATO to enhance the allianceโs fuel security. The project would tie a pipeline system near Corlu, in Thrace, with one in the south near Mersin and the Incirlik Air Base.
Doing so would increase the size of the North Atlantic Treaty Organizationโs Cold War-era pipeline system. It would also bolster Turkeyโs own energy infrastructure, adding that Ankara would cover the cost of any part of the project intended for civilian use.

A set of seven crypto tax bills are being circulated in advance of a hearing of the U.S. House Ways and Means committee next week, with each of the legislative drafts tackling its own narrow aspect of digital assets tax treatment, including relaxing demands for taxes on small transactions and the assets gains in mining and staking.
The various proposals include:
โ eliminating tax demands on certain small ( or "de minimis") transactions,
โ stablecoin activity and network fees;
โ governing the taxation of assets acquired through crypto mining;
โ melding digital assets with existing tax treatment of securities;
โ applying so-called wash sale rules to crypto;
โ and cutting out an appraisal requirement in digital asset donations to charity.
Though the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act has been the top U.S. policy focus of the crypto industry, Washington lobbyists have routinely said that crypto tax policy was next in line.

โThere are concepts where pieces could be given to the American public, where the American public essentially becomes a partner with the companies,โ โ Trump said Friday when asked about the idea by reporters aboard Air Force One. โThereโs something very interesting about it, where it almost becomes a partnership with the American public, and weโll look into that.โ

Two city council committees just passed a data center moratorium in Seattle, making it the biggest jurisdiction in the U.S. to enforce a ban on these projects. But the moratorium and an accompanying resolution must still go through a full council vote on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
The city intends to spend the one-year hold on data center development to study its impact on the community surrounding it and what the local government should do to ensure that its constituents benefit from the project. This includes putting up pollution standards, determining energy connection requirements, setting contract terms, setting labor standards, and other regulations that will apply to data centers.

Jeremy Allaire, the C.E.O. of the stablecoin company Circle, trained an A.I. agent to think and write like him, feeding it his podcast interviews, his public writing and a corpus of internal communications. He called it the โJeremy Allaire skill.โ The bot helped him compose drafts.
โPeople can interact with the Jeremy Allaire skill on their own before they actually, you know, bring something to me,โ โ he told DealBook, adding, โItโs available to everyone in the company who wants to have a dialogue with me.โ
Jeremy Allaire decided to let the bot talk to his more than 1,000 employees. Because while Allaire canโt meet with everyone, he realized that the A.I. version of him can.

Hedera, XRP, and Stellar posted some of the strongest returns among 20 tracked index constituents last quarter. The three assets rallied 367%, 240%, and 237%, respectively.
That performance did not happen in a vacuum. These assets spent years under intense regulatory scrutiny, with authorities frequently labeling them as securities. That pressure tested their networks, their communities, and their staying power, and they endured it.
However, the assets still performed, and now the environment is shifting.
The document pointed directly to this shift, noting that โwith a more favourable regulatory environment expected under the new U.S. administration, these assets are likely to operate with less regulatory scrutiny.โ
These three assets faced more regulatory pressure than most of the market and survived it. Now they stand to benefit directly from the policy shift underway in the U.S. The evidence from last quarterโs performance supports that view.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and the White House are in ongoing talks about a possible government stake in the AI company. The discussions have been in progress for more than a year, as Altman first shared the idea with the Trump administration in 2025.
The talks continued this week as Altman met with a range of lawmakers and officials in Washington about regulation and the latest developments in AI. As part of the potential agreement, OpenAI could donate equity to the U.S. government to seed something like the โPublic Wealth Fundโ.
โThe fund could invest in diversified, long-term assets and would enable citizens to participate in the โupsideโ of AI growth, possibly by receiving the fundโs returns directly,โ โ OpenAI said.
