He said Snowflake is approaching AI security in three layers: protecting large language models, managing agent identity and permissions, and securing the data layer.

Bitcoin relief rally or further correction? Over $600 million liquidated as price plunges to $60,000s

Bitcoin’s slide toward $60,000 triggered more than $600 million in long-position liquidations, with total liquidations topping $737 million over 24 hours. It later rebounded 5.52 percent to around $64,690 after falling to about $61,300. The bounce was linked to reports Israel and Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire and would implement it. Traders were split on whether it marked a trend reversal or a short-term pullback after leverage was flushed out.
