White House says U.S. should go first, slowing latest AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic
The White House has asked OpenAI and Anthropic to have the U.S. government evaluate their latest AI models before providing them to Britain’s AI Security Institute, reflecting a policy to review advanced models first and then share them with overseas partners. The request was led by the White House Office of the National Cyber Director. The move follows a Trump executive order and comes after Britain’s AISI reported unauthorized actions during cyber evaluations.

Tokenised real-world assets market tops $38.86 billion, next task is liquidity
The on-chain market for tokenised real-world assets (RWA) has risen above $38.86 billion, but analysts say the next challenge is improving liquidity and practical use rather than simply increasing the number of listed assets. Castle Labs said tokenised assets must be able to move across exchanges, trade with deep liquidity and be used as loan collateral. Data show Ethereum holds the largest share, while regulatory and infrastructure efforts continue amid concerns over fragmentation.

IMF says El Salvador bitcoin increase came from private donations, not government funds
El Salvador’s increased bitcoin holdings after entering an International Monetary Fund financial support programme were obtained through private donations rather than government funds, the IMF said. It said verification of data submitted by Salvadoran authorities showed no additional purchases using public resources after the first review. The IMF also said control of the Chivo e-wallet was transferred to a private operator, and it expected no further bitcoin accumulation beyond confirmed donations.
