Bradley Tusk, co-founder and managing partner at Tusk Venture Partners, stated on Monday that China remains dominant in producing cheap artificial intelligence products at scale but the United States still leads in creating the world’s best technology and innovation. Speaking on CNBC’s “The Exchange,” Tusk emphasized that free-market competition, not heavy government control, is the key for U.S. companies to maintain their edge in the global artificial intelligence race. “If the question is who can produce the cheapest products at the lowest quality, fastest, that’s still China for sure,” Tusk said. “But when it is who can produce the absolute best products, the best technology, the best innovation, that’s still the United States.” Tusk cautioned that increased government intervention could backfire. Specifically, open markets where companies can access global materials and sell products without heavy restrictions, are vital for maintaining the U.S.’s technological leadership. However, he said he does not have enough faith in any government, regardless of political party, to manage such ambitions.

He cited DeepSeek, a Chinese company that developed a more energy-efficient AI model after being cut off from U.S. technology, as an example. “The more that we keep them in a box, the more they’re going to end up being more innovative,” Tusk said. At the same time, he acknowledged that there are competing views, some believe that isolating China could stunt its progress. “No one actually knows the answer,” he said, emphasizing the complexity and unpredictability of the situation. Energy policy tied to AI competition Tusk also connected America’s AI competitiveness to its energy policies. Building cutting-edge AI models requires massive computational resources, which in turn demands large amounts of energy. Tusk urged the U.S. government to streamline the approval process for new energy infrastructure, including nuclear plants and renewable projects. He said he wants to see the Trump administration create a program that incentivizes cities and states to “compete against each other” in a race to remove permitting and regulatory obstacles. He called for reducing barriers related to environmental reviews, community approvals, and labor rules that often delay energy projects critical to supporting future AI growth. While acknowledging that President Trump opposes wind energy, Tusk argued for an inclusive approach that supports all viable energy sources, including nuclear, wind, and solar, to meet the nation’s escalating computational needs.

安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇 (Anthony Scaramucci) 在接受采访时预测，受美国可能采取战略加密储备措施、全球采用率不断提高以及机构兴趣增加的推动，比特币今年的价格可能达到 20 万美元。 SkyBridge Capital 创始人安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇 (Anthony Scaramucci) 认为，美国即将建立战略加密储备，并以比特币 (BTC) 为基石资产。 在盛宝银行最近为纪念唐纳德·特朗普总统执政 30 天而举办的一次采访中，crypto.news 被邀请提交问题。斯卡拉穆奇表示，由大卫·萨克斯等人物牵头的两党讨论正在为这一举措奠定基础。 斯卡拉穆奇表示：“在我看来，大卫·萨克斯在试图使战略加密储备成为两党共同的事情方面做得很好，但我不认为这会达到比特币用户想要的规模。” 斯卡拉穆奇确信，美国将在今年年底前建立比特币监管框架。他认为这是全球趋势的一部分，其他国家也将采用比特币，他认为这将推动比特币的发展。 他强调了此举在国际上可能产生的多米诺骨牌效应。 “It’s very clear to the rest of the world that the Americans are going to do something — which is why the rest of the world, lots of these sovereigns, are already getting in place. If you’re doing it, I’ve got to do it,” he explained. “It will be a when, not if, situation.”   你可能还喜欢：Tether 首席执行官讨论新 BrainOS 平台以推进脑机技术 比特币价格有望突破 20 万美元 展望 2025 年，斯卡拉穆奇做出了一个大胆预测：随着机构采用率的提高以及对其与黄金市值相媲美的潜力的认识不断提高，比特币今年的价格可能达到 20 万美元。 他说道：“从目前的水平来看，这是 100% 的回报，这将使比特币的市值达到 4 万亿美元。” Scaramucci sees Bitcoin’s trajectory as inevitable, given its digital scarcity and increasing adoption, particularly among younger investors. “For Bitcoin to truly be an asset class, it would have to trade into the $15-20 trillion zone, which would imply that it had roughly the same value to humankind as gold.” he said.  While acknowledging the inherent uncertainty in his prediction, Scaramucci remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s growth potential. “If I’m right, we’ll have another great year,” he added.

I own a lot of Solana,” he said, adding that he views the network as one of the most promising for scaling and supporting decentralized applications. 他还表达了对 Avalanche (AVAX) 和 Polkadot (DOT) 支持资产代币化的潜力的信心。Scaramucci 表示：“这些才是真正有助于地球代币化的东西”，并指出了现实世界资产代币化的更广泛趋势。 斯卡拉穆奇将当前的加密和人工智能格局与早期互联网时代进行比较，并将其与 20 世纪 90 年代末的科技繁荣相提并论。 “我 36 岁的时候，万维网和互联网（Web1）风靡一时。当 Web1 崩盘时，人们都破产了。但任何坚持下来的人都变得非常非常富有，”斯卡拉穆奇说，“我认为我们今天所处的境况与 Web1 和这两个资产类别（加密货币和人工智能）的境况相同。” 除了 Solana 之外，他还披露了对 Nvidia 和 Asteroid Labs 等人工智能公司的大量投资，尽管人们对人工智能市场泡沫存在担忧，但预计其仍将持续增长。 SkyBridge ETF 值得购买 SkyBridge’s crypto ETF has delivered a 150% return over the past year, outperforming many competitors. Launched in 2021, the ETF tracks Bitcoin-adjacent companies, including miners, MicroStrategy, and Coinbase. After weathering the 2022 downturn, the ETF rebounded, recently reaching $18 per share. “We were buying it at $3 or $4 a share, and it’s now back up to $18,” Scaramucci explained. “This year, there’s probably a $35-36 price target for that ETF.” The ETF’s composition reflects a strategic approach to mimic Bitcoin’s performance without directly holding the asset. “我们可以拥有数字生态系统的组成部分。我们可以拥有一些比特币矿工，这些矿工都是公开交易的，”他说。“我们可以拥有像 MicroStrategy 这样的上市公司……我们会积极管理它。” 你可能还喜欢：主权财富基金和比特币的未来 | 观点

美国证券交易委员会正在考虑撤销一项拟议规则，该规则将对处理加密货币的投资顾问施加更严格的托管要求。 据路透社报道，美国证券交易委员会代理主席马克·乌耶达 (Mark Uyeda) 周一在圣地亚哥举行的行业会议上宣布了可能的逆转，他表示担心该规则的范围过广以及合规挑战。 拜登政府于 2023 年 2 月提出的托管规则将要求注册投资顾问将加密资产存储在合格的托管人处，同时满足额外的保障措施。 乌耶达承认，公众的反馈提出了重大反对意见，促使该机构探索其他方法。 你可能还喜欢：Ethena 和 Securitize 推出代币化资产区块链 Converge ETF 将报告月度投资组合持有量 乌耶达还表示，美国证券交易委员会正在审查一项单独的规则，要求共同基金和交易所交易基金每月（而不是每季度）报告其投资组合持有情况。 该法规于 2023 年 8 月通过，旨在提高透明度，但行业反馈凸显了人们的担忧——尤其是关于人工智能 (AI) 在交易策略中的作用。 这些举措反映了特朗普政府领导下的 SEC 政策的广泛转变，该政府已经推翻了前任主席加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 提出的几项与加密货币相关的举措。SEC 最近撤销了针对加密货币公司的会计指导，放弃了针对行业参与者的执法行动，并成立了一个加密货币工作组来评估监管优先事项。 随着前美国证券交易委员会委员保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）即将接任主席，上田推动监管修订的举措表明了该机构更加有利于行业的立场，特别是针对数字资产和对严格合规要求持谨慎态度的金融机构。 你可能还喜欢：Robinhood 和 Kalshi 推出大学篮球体育预测市场
