Carmelo and Sasha break down the disconnect between what markets are saying and what the economy is actually doing, plus the biggest stories across AI, robotics, crypto, and venture this week
Simultaneously, China’s Unitree Robotics secured green-light approval for a massive $619M Shanghai STAR Market IPO, signaling a massive pivot to move physical AI out of laboratory demos and directly onto the factory floor.
Meanwhile, 140 firms, including Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, BlackRock, Google, and Shopify, unveiled Open USD (OUSD). Unlike legacy incumbents ($USDT and $USDC), which hoard the yield generated by their underlying reserves, OUSD will redistribute reserve revenues directly back to its enterprise partners.
