Cardano is already being used by roughly 200 large companies in Germany through agentic AI deployments, even if those firms do not realize the blockchain is sitting underneath their stack, according to Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard. The claim, made during an interview with Jane King on GBBC’s Markets on Chain series from the New York Stock Exchange published April 16, points to a version of blockchain adoption that is less visible to end users but potentially more embedded in enterprise infrastructure.

200 German Companies Use Cardano Without Even Knowing It

Gregaard framed the Cardano Foundation’s role as pushing blockchain into systems people use without necessarily recognizing it. “We have about 200 companies in Germany who live on agentic AI, fairly large companies, and they don’t even know they’re using Cardano as a security layer, as a digital identity layer and as an accountability layer,” he said. “Part of when you have, for instance, agentic AI who’s using data from two different databases, [is] ensuring that the agentic AI is who they say they are, that they have the data they claim without disclosing it, because we want privacy.”

That argument was central to Gregaard’s broader pitch: blockchain, in his view, is becoming an underlying trust and coordination layer for AI-driven systems rather than simply a rails story for tokens or payments. He described a model where users could interact with seamless consumer applications while Cardano handles provenance, identity and compliance in the background. The point was less about visible crypto branding than about infrastructure-level deployment.

Payments still featured prominently. Gregaard said AI agents in some of these systems are already transacting using a regulated stablecoin called USDM, with microtransactions used to meter prompt activity and align incentives between partic

#Google stock (NASDAQ: GOOG) snapped its six-day upward trend after dipping 0.51% on Thursday’s closing bell. The search giant went from $273 to $335 in two weeks, displaying a remarkable rebound by rising 23%. GOOG surged nearly 23% in two weeks, making it the most sought-after asset in the US market. Google’s upcoming earnings call is scheduled for April 29, which can dictate the next direction of the stock.On the heels of the earnings call, 2 major concerns have arisen on Wall Street surrounding Google stock. This mostly has to do with AI, as the tech is yet to fully materialize. Until traders see a clear path and positive returns from the next-gen tech, doubts about its prospects will always keep cropping up. In this article, we will explain the concerns of Wall Street ahead of the revenue call.Also Read: New Price Target For Google’s Alphabet Stock is $405, 23% Profit2 Problems Plague Google Stock Before Earnings CallSource: Getty Images1. The New AI-Based ‘Search Generative Experience’ Squeeze MarginsWall Street is worried that Google’s AI could self-sabotage its stock prospects if the earnings call shows more capex for summaries. Search for something online, and Google summarizes what you’re looking for in its AI-based Search Generative Experience. While this has received mixed reactions from users, the cost to run the new tech is much higher than the previous blue link search results.Every time a user asks the AI a question, it costs Google more in computing power. This includes running electricity and putting chips to work, rather than the traditional search results. Wall Street is worried that the operating costs will eat up Google’s ad revenues, as the cost-to-serve is more expensive. Google will report the capex vs returns in the earnings call, and the numbers will decide which direction the stock will move.2.

Russia introduces bill to criminalize unregistered crypto services

Russia’s government submitted a bill to its parliament’s lower house in an effort to amend the country's legal code to attach criminal liability for crypto services offered without regulatory approval or licensing.

In a draft law sent to the State Duma on Friday, Russian lawmakers proposed that entities "carrying out activities related to the organization of digital currency circulation,” that operate without a license from Russia’s central bank, could be subject to criminal liability.

Without registration with the Bank of Russia, individuals could face up to $4,000 in fines and up to four years in prison, or more severe penalties if part of an organized group.
The same act committed by an organized group, or involving the infliction of damage or the extraction of income on a particularly large scale, would be punishable by compulsory labor for up to five years or imprisonment for up to seven years,” the bill’s text said.

The bill also proposes a “fine of up to 1 million rubles [$13,100] or an amount equal to the convicted person’s salary or other income for a period of up to five years.”

The draft law followed a package of bills initially proposed in March that included criminal penalties for illegal crypto miners, but the most recent legislation included details on fines and potential prison time for any unregistered digital asset services.

According to Russian media outlet RBC, the country’s Supreme Court said that the crypto bill lacks “reasoned justification” for criminal penalties.

The court said that the measure was “premature” until Russia enacted its “Digital Currency and Digital Rights law,” expected to go into effect in July. If the bill passes it would give Russia’s government more control and oversight over the crypto industry.

#Bitcoin price prediction turned aggressively bullish early Friday as CoinDesk reported that perpetual funding rates dropped to their most negative level since 2023 on a seven-day moving average, with ZeroStack CEO Daniel Reis-Faria targeting $125,000 within 30 to 60 days if the market’s heavily short positioning is forced to unwind. Summary BTC was trading near $74,700 in Asian morning hours Friday, up 3.5% on the week but down 0.4% on the day, with the 10-day global equity rally pausing ahead of the April 22 Iran ceasefire expiry. The 7-day moving average funding rate dropped to approximately -0.005% per Glassnode data, last seen during the FTX crash bottom in late 2022, with every prior historical episode of similar funding extremes — March 2020, mid-2021, August 2024 — aligning with local price lows. On-chain data shows many active bitcoin holders are currently underwater relative to their cost basis, meaning a squeeze-driven rally could face material sell pressure from holders who acquired BTC in the $75,000 to $95,000 range during 2025.
