Crypto firms chase AI, Coinbase pushes back
A wave of digital-asset treasury companies is pivoting to AI after crypto losses crushed their share prices. Coinbase's CEO calls it a mistake, arguing crypto is general-purpose infrastructure, not a sector to abandon. The tension between chasing the AI boom and staying the course defines today's news.
Crypto or AI?
Two stories capture the divide: companies scrambling for AI revenue, and a prominent voice arguing they're wrong.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong calls the pivot from crypto to AI 'zero-sum, scarcity thinking,' arguing crypto is general-purpose infrastructure like electricity, not a sector to abandon for the latest trend.

LG Innotek partners with TDK to develop vision and tactile sensing modules for physical AI, expanding from robot 'eyes' to 'skin'.
