Pulled the 1.2k restructure filings sent to the SEC since 2023 to see if #AI is really the top reason for job #layoffs.
So far this year 28 US firms said AI was part of their restructuring plan. 11 in 2025, 7 in 2024 and 3 in 2023.
30% of tech layoffs this year were Meta, Amazon and Microsoft. But nothing was filed to the SEC since it didnt affect the entire business.
So there is certainly a trend upwards, as expected. Its likely worse than the official figures.

the first 48 hours of Woke 2 has already produced more humor than the entire decade of Woke 1

Stablecoin rules in the UK are being finalized, and are at risk of preventing the UK from being globally competitive in the digital economy.
For example, the Bank of England is proposing a cap on stablecoin holdings for individuals and businesses.
The UK has a long history of being a financial hub. Embracing and encouraging innovation, especially when other countries are moving fast here, is important for maintaining that. The current direction of the rules does the opposite, and will act as an innovation blocker.
If you're from the UK you can sign the petition by @StandWCrypto_UK to set out a pro-innovation strategy for blockchain and stablecoins. Link below.

LIVE NOW - Etherealize: Ethereum is Open for Business
We’ve got the team behind @Etherealize_io on the show today—@VivekVentures and @dannyryan—to discuss their mission to onboard institutions, governments, and capital markets to @ethereum.
We explore how Ethereum is “open for business” with L2 scaling, modular architecture, and a maturing regulatory landscape. The Etherealize team breaks down their dual structure—a for-profit consulting and product arm alongside a nonprofit focused on R&D and policy—to drive institutional adoption.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this one @TrustlessState and @cryptopunk7213.
I think that the MPC weve developed for exchnages and banks can be a really useful tool to build autonomous teams of AI agens:
💪 Give AI the full threshold for autonomous operation
🛡️ Keep all shares, use AI for guidance only
🛡️ Give AI a share, keep a share for final approval
🔐 Run multiple AI agents with different roles, and allocate shares to each of them with a custom threshold. (Example: Complince agent, security agent, and treasury agent all need to approve)
🚨Big news from io.finnet: Our AI Agents are launching in May! Built on @elizaOS + #trustlessMPC security, they simplify crypto management like never before.

Spent the last 8 years of my life building the most secure MPC cryptography in the world. And now people are using it to store $20,000 Pudgy Penguin JPEGs…
I’m not mad. Just… impressed 🤡

Another day, another exploit that could be prevented using MPC.
@MetaMask thoughts about using io.vaults MPC sdk to secure your browser extension? 1 key share in the browser and the other on a mobile device? Cryptographic 2FA
1.4 BILLION lost due to bad security practices.
This is a wake-up call for us all. With @iofinnet trustless MPC for multi-party approval—eliminating single points of failure—and built-in @Blockaid tx simulation, you can stay protected. #crytpo #security #blockchain

Ben is stating what wallet he used to sign, but blind signing a malicious transaction is ultimately user error. Ledger devices were not at fault for this user action.
Clear Signing on a device with a secure screen is optimal security ensuring what you see is what you sign.

Nearly $1.5 billion gone in seconds for #Bybit because they trusted a website and signed the transaction
Blind signing sucks! @safe is okay until you sign blindly…
Stay safe, combine MPC from @iofinnet with tx validation from @blockaid_ (built in) with your safe wallet
