π° Keep reading for all of today's biggest headlines & stories | | | | Trump sues JPMorgan over "debanking" U.S. President Donald Trump has filed a $5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan in a Florida state court, accusing the bank of abruptly closing accounts tied to him and his businesses after the 2021 Capitol riots. The complaint, which names CEO Jamie Dimon, claims the accounts were shut "without warning or provocation" and frames the move as politically motivated. If the case advances, it could drag one of the world's largest banks into a public fight over debanking, risk controls and how far financial institutions can go when they see a client as a reputational liability.
| | | | | | | | | | Why asking ChatGPT for legal advice can backfire AI tools like ChatGPT look like cheap legal help, but they come with hidden risks that lawyers say users tend to ignore. Chat logs can be pulled into lawsuits through discovery, used as evidence by opposing counsel and, in some cases, even undermine attorney–client privilege if they overlap with real legal strategy. Courts have already forced AI firms to retain records that users assumed were gone. That means a "quick question" about a dispute today could show up in a courtroom tomorrow, stripped of context and used against the person who typed it. | | | | | | | | | Coinbase builds a quantum risk watchtower Coinbase has created an independent advisory board to study how quantum computing could threaten the cryptography that secures Bitcoin, Ethereum and other major chains. The group includes researchers in quantum computing, cryptography and distributed systems from universities, the Ethereum ecosystem and Coinbase itself. Their mandate is simple and unnerving: map out which parts of today's crypto stack would break first under real quantum attacks and publish guidance for developers, companies and users before that happens. The question is whether the broader industry will act on those warnings or treat quantum risk as another distant problem.

The rollout is framed as a crypto-native interface for trading traditional markets without switching platforms, using workflows that resemble perpetual-style trading for active users. | | | | | | | | | Circle says USDC is "plumbing," not the next Visa Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire used the Davos stage to reposition USDC as neutral infrastructure rather than a direct threat to banks and card networks. Speaking on CNBC, he said Circle sees Visa and Mastercard as partners, not rivals, and wants USDC to function as shared settlement rails that many payment firms can use. The message matters as regulators and banks debate whether stablecoins are building a parallel system or simply upgrading the old one. If USDC is seen as a common layer, not a competing brand, Circle may find it easier to plug into traditional finance at scale.
| | | | | | | | | OPINION | | | | Bitcoin's quantum clock may be ticking faster than you think
Some Bitcoin advocates argue that the network has 20 to 40 years to adopt post-quantum security, betting that real threats will only appear once quantum machines can crack keys in real time. Critics say that view is dangerously slow. The real risk, they argue, is "harvest now, decrypt later," where adversaries copy vulnerable data today and wait for hardware to catch up.
