Энергичное обещание Трампа о том, что США доминируют в криптовалюте и биткойнах, ускоряет развитие цифрового актива, создавая неудержимый импульс к американскому лидерству в глобальном блокчейн-доминировании.

Трамп обещает полное господство США в криптовалюте

Президент США Дональд Трамп выразил уверенность в доминировании Америки в криптовалюте на своей социальной платформе Truth Social 22 мая, незадолго до частного крипто-события в четверг вечером. Ужин, состоявшийся в Trump National Golf Club рядом с Вашингтоном, собрал известных держателей криптовалют и влиятельных лиц.

“Направляюсь на крипто-ужин в округ Лаудон, штат Вирджиния, через некоторое время,” написал Трамп, демонстрируя свою поддержку отрасли и стремления Америки к лидерству в цифровом активе. Президент подчеркнул:

США ДОМИНИРУЮТ в криптовалюте, биткойнах и т.д., и мы собираемся сохранить это!

Крипто-ужин Трампа был роскошным мероприятием в черных галстуках, эксклюзивно организованным для топ-220 держателей его монеты-мема TRUMP. Мероприятие, на котором прошел специальный прием для топ-25 держателей токенов, подчеркнуло глубокую взаимосвязь политики и криптовалюты. Сообщается, что участники внесли в общей сложности около $148 миллионов, в то время как некоторые, такие как Джастин Сан, вложили более $18 миллионов. Собрание вызвало резкую критику со стороны некоторых законодателей-демократов, таких как сенаторы Элизабет Уоррен и Джефф Меркли, которые осудили потенциал для иностранного влияния и этических проблем, особенно учитывая, что связанные с Трампом структуры контролируют большую часть поставки токенов.

Пресс-секретарь Белого дома Кэролайн Левитт заявила, что имена участников не будут раскрыты в ответ на вопрос журналиста, подчеркнув, что «президент посещает его в личное время». Газета New York Times сообщила, что несколько участников «заявили, что посетили мероприятие с явным намерением повлиять на г-на Трампа и финансовые регуляции США».

Однако некоторые участники остались разочарованными. Журналистка Fox Business Элеанор Терретт отметила, что, хотя гости хвалили еду, они были разочарованы отсутствием прямого взаимодействия с Трампом. «Он просто сделал несколько замечаний и ушел,» сказал один из участников. Те, кто рассчитывал на сессию вопросов и ответов или более глубокий диалог, получили лишь краткое подтверждение позиции Трампа по криптовалютной политике перед его уходом.

В то время как критики выразили озабоченность по поводу политической предвзятости и непрозрачного влияния донорами, сторонники утверждают, что вовлеченность Трампа отражает рост политического принятия биткойна и инноваций в блокчейне. Они уверены, что такое внимание высокого уровня может способствовать более четкому направлению криптовалютной политики.

Meta Joins the 'Selling Shovels' Game, Zuckerberg: 'Models Can Be Slow, but GPUs Must Earn'

Meta pivots to selling AI infrastructure as internal model development lags. Facing setbacks like Gemini usage restrictions and slower-than-expected progress on its own AI agents, the company is reportedly launching "Meta Compute." This service would rent out its massive GPU capacity and data center resources—projected to reach over 10GW—to external clients. The move mirrors SpaceX's "neocloud" model, offering high-margin, flexible compute contracts. Meta also plans to host third-party models like Anthropic's Claude, creating a platform similar to Amazon Bedrock. This strategy provides immediate revenue while its in-house models (like the upcoming "Watermelon") continue development. Wall Street reacted positively, seeing it as a way to monetize heavy AI investments even if Meta's models aren't yet industry-leading.

World's Largest Data Center Project Scrapped

Blackstone Abandons Plans for World's Largest Data Center, Signaling Wider AI Infrastructure Headwinds Blackstone has halted construction of its massive "Digital Gateway" data center campus in Virginia, which was planned to be the world's largest. The project's cancellation follows a five-year battle with local residents concerned about historical preservation, environmental impact, and strain on local resources. A procedural error in the zoning approval process ultimately led a state court to invalidate the project's permits. This move comes shortly after Blackstone sold other mature data center assets, suggesting a strategic pivot by the asset management giant. Industry analysts see this as a potential sign of "peak" investment enthusiasm, mirroring Blackstone's past exits from overheated sectors like office real estate. The cancellation highlights significant bottlenecks facing the AI-driven data center boom across the U.S. Key challenges include severe power grid constraints, with data centers' electricity demand projected to triple nationally by 2035, and mounting grassroots opposition. A report notes over $130 billion worth of U.S. data center projects were delayed in Q1 2026 alone, primarily due to power shortages and community resistance. Local and state governments are also beginning to implement stricter regulations, including new taxes and moratoriums on construction. Blackstone's exit underscores that the breakneck expansion of AI infrastructure is colliding with practical limits, from physical resource caps to social license, forcing a more realistic assessment of costs and feasibility.

OpenAI Proposes Transferring 5% Equity to the U.S. Government

OpenAI has reportedly proposed to sell 5% of its equity to the U.S. government, a stake valued at over $40 billion based on its $852 billion valuation. According to the Financial Times, CEO Sam Altman has engaged in preliminary discussions with senior officials, including the Commerce and Treasury Secretaries, framing public ownership as a way for Americans to share in AI's economic benefits. The proposal includes a broader vision where other major U.S. AI companies like Anthropic, Google, and Meta would contribute a similar percentage of their equity to a public investment vehicle, modeled on the Alaska Permanent Fund, to distribute dividends to citizens. However, there is no indication of interest from these rivals. This move is seen as an attempt to navigate increasing regulatory pressure and scrutiny over AI safety and societal impact. It contrasts with more radical proposals, such as one from Senator Bernie Sanders advocating for up to 50% public ownership. While the discussions are conceptual and would likely require congressional action, they signify a strategic shift: OpenAI is offering a financial stake to align government interests and potentially secure a more stable regulatory relationship ahead of a possible future IPO. The outcome could reshape how AGI development is governed and who benefits from its profits.

One Megawatt Sustains 60,000 Agents, NVIDIA GB300 Crushes Previous Generation by 20x

NVIDIA's latest GB300 NVL72 system achieves a 20x improvement in AI agent throughput per megawatt compared to its predecessor, the H200, according to a new industry benchmark called AA-AgentPerf. Where the H200 could handle roughly 2,600 concurrent agents per megawatt, the GB300 NVL72 can support approximately 61,400. The significance lies less in raw chip performance and more in the new benchmark itself. AA-AgentPerf, created by the independent firm Artificial Analysis, is the first benchmark designed specifically for "AI agent" workloads. Traditional benchmarks measure single, fixed-length requests, but AI agents operate in long, complex chains involving dozens of model calls, tool use, and ever-growing context. These create unique system pressures that older tests cannot capture. AA-AgentPerf replays real programming agent trajectories with lengthy sessions and varying input lengths. Its key metric is "agents per megawatt," measured under strict Service Level Objectives (SLOs) that guarantee a minimum token output speed per agent. It also allows real-world optimizations like KV cache reuse and speculative decoding, which older benchmarks often disable. The results highlight two key trends: rack-scale systems like the 72-GPU GB300 NVL72 are inherently more efficient than single nodes, and the architectural leap from Hopper to Blackwell (H200 to GB300) represents a systemic, not just incremental, performance gain. The GB300's advantage stems from its high-bandwidth NVLink fabric connecting all GPUs, allowing large MiE models to be efficiently distributed and parallelized. Important caveats include that the 61,400 figure represents simulated concurrent sessions, not independently running full models, and that benchmark results are a snapshot that will improve with software optimization. AA-AgentPerf is a new standard whose industry adoption remains to be seen.

Solana Says External Assets Need More Than A Bridge To Build Real Markets

Solana argues that merely bridging external assets to its network is insufficient for building real markets. The key challenge is ensuring these assets arrive into a ready ecosystem with deep liquidity, efficient routing, and integrated DeFi applications from day one. Projects like Sunrise are positioned as orchestration layers to coordinate this onboarding. This focus on market formation over simple token transfer is central to Solana's broader push to become a hub for capital markets and tokenized assets, where liquidity quality and seamless integration are as critical as network speed.
