Polish crypto exchange Zondacrypto is under pressure over frozen and delayed withdrawals and alleged political influence campaigns.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk accused the company of financially backing lawmakers who opposed crypto regulation.

CEO Przemysław Kral insists the exchange is solvent, even as he admits Zondacrypto cannot access a 4,500 BTC wallet, and local media reports say blockchain data show its hot wallets have been largely drained.

Polish cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto's problems just keep mounting.

Already under fire following reports of frozen or delayed customer withdrawals, the company on Friday drew the ire of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who told parliament the company had sponsored some politicians who opposed crypto market regulation.

#In the latest generative AI news, CBS MoneyWatch reported that US households are actively making room in their budgets for AI subscriptions, backed by Bank of America Institute data showing the number of paying AI subscribers has surged 38% from the 2024 average. Summary Approximately 3% of Bank of America households paid for AI services in early 2026, with median monthly spend at $20, up 10.4% year over year, driven by growing use of tools like ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, and Gemini. The share of subscribers paying $21 to $40 per month jumped 50% year to date versus 2024, suggesting consumers are moving up the pricing tiers as they deepen their use of AI tools for daily tasks. Bank of America Research projects the US consumer AI market could scale to $75 billion annually as AI becomes embedded in productivity, search, entertainment, and personal assistant use cases. Generative AI news has moved from enterprise budgets to household spending lines. Bank of America Institute analysis of nearly 70 million consumer accounts found that the number of households making AI subscription payments is up 38% from the 2024 average, with median monthly spend sitting at $20 for those who pay, up 10.4% year over year. The market is still early: only around 3% of Bank of America households are currently paying subscribers. But the growth metrics tell a different story than the headline penetration number. Who Is Paying and How Much Higher-income households and younger generations make up the largest share of paying subscribers. But the Bank of America data shows expansion is happening beyond that base. Median AI spending growth was strongest among households earning $75,000 to $125,000 in February 2026, suggesting uptake among middle-income consumers who are integrating tools into professional and personal workflows rather than treating them as discretionary luxuries. The standard pricing tier across major AI platforms has consolidated around $20 per month, with ChatGPT Plus, Claude

Trump nominated Dr. Erica Schwartz as CDC director 2026 on Thursday, tapping a former Navy rear admiral and deputy surgeon general from his first term to lead an agency that has cycled through four leaders in the past 12 months and remains without a Senate-confirmed director since Dr. Susan Monarez was fired last August. Summary Schwartz, 57, holds a medical degree from Brown University, a law degree, and a master’s in public health from the Uniformed Services University, and spent 24 years in uniformed service including as the US Coast Guard’s chief medical officer and as deputy surgeon general from 2019 to early 2021. If confirmed by the Senate, she would become the agency’s second permanent director of Trump’s second term, with acting director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya expected to remain in an interim capacity during the confirmation process, which could take several months. Trump also simultaneously named four additional CDC and HHS leadership appointments including Sean Slovenski, former president of Walmart Health, as CDC deputy director and chief operating officer. The CDC director 2026 nomination arrives at one of the most unstable stretches in the agency’s modern history. The CDC has had no Senate-confirmed permanent director for all but about four weeks of Trump’s second term. Monarez was confirmed in July 2025 and fired just weeks later for reportedly not complying with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s demands on vaccines and personnel. Three acting leaders followed. The 210-day Vacancies Act clock ran out on Bhattacharya’s acting designation last month. Trump called Schwartz “a STAR!” in a Truth Social post Thursday, adding that she had “the knowledge, experience, and TOP degrees to restore the GOLD STANDARD OF SCIENCE at the CDC.” The announcement came on the same day Kennedy testified before the House Ways and Means Committee an
