Curve Founder: Cryptocurrency and AI Are Not in Competition, Both Are Foundational Technologies

2 hours ago

On June 5, Curve founder Michael Egorov posted that widespread pessimism is gripping markets regarding Bitcoin and the broader crypto sector. The shift stems from crypto assets falling out of recent favor, as AI stocks now dominate the mainstream market. Egoror stressed crypto is far from a mere "toy"—it serves a real purpose: granting users self-sovereignty and building an always-on financial network that never halts. He added that institutions are increasingly adopting infrastructure that cuts out cumbersome intermediaries, making the crypto industry fundamentally stronger than it’s ever been. He also noted AI is a foundational technology but will navigate its own "uncanny valley" phase. Replacing humans with AI, he explained, creates a feedback loop where AI outputs become AI inputs, driving down quality and causing maintenance costs to grow exponentially. Major companies pushing AI’s widespread use may not implement it correctly, leading to inflated reported expenditures. Importantly, Egorov clarified that crypto and AI are both foundational technologies yet distinct, not fundamentally competitive. He concluded with a firm statement: "Crypto is the future of finance."

S&P Global Inc.: Mega IPOs Such as SpaceX Won't Be Quickly Added to S&P 500 Index

June 5: Standard & Poor’s Global announced Thursday it will retain eligibility criteria for key benchmarks including the S&P 500 Index, nixing a proposal to fast-track giant firms like SpaceX immediately after their initial public offering (IPO). In a press release, the S&P Index clarified it will not shorten the current 12-month “seasoning period” for newly listed companies, nor will it waive existing profitability and public float requirements based solely on company size. This means SpaceX will need to wait at least one full year after its IPO to qualify for inclusion in the S&P 500, and it must meet the index’s standard rules: GAAP profitability in its most recent quarter, cumulative GAAP profits over the past four quarters, and a public float of no less than 50%.
