Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. The modern economy runs on attention. The systems controlling it are still largely guesswork. Chronicle, an artificial intelligence startup launched in 2025, is betting it can change that, and a group of prominent investors is backing the wager. The company announced funding from Patron, Point72 Ventures, Z Ventures, and Sands Capital, raising nearly $12 million in this round. Chronicle is building what it calls an automation layer for the attention economy: a platform designed to simulate audience behavior, optimize content, and automate distribution across YouTube, Meta, TikTok, X, and other major platforms. “Social…

The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) announced today that it has begun deploying a portion of its treasury into Ethereum-native staking infrastructure, marking a transition from advocacy to direct operational use of the ecosystem. This step follows a board-approved treasury framework focused on risk management, diversification, and engagement with production-grade Ethereum infrastructure. As part of this deployment, EEA is engaging with established staking solutions within the ecosystem, including Lido. “Treasury decisions come down to three questions. Can we exit when…

Regulatory clarity finally arrived for stablecoins. But the EU and US solved the problem in fundamentally different ways. As MiCA and the GENIUS Act diverge on licensing, custody, and compliance architecture, institutions are discovering that “compliant” in one market doesn’t translate cleanly into the other. The new competitive edge may belong to firms and jurisdictions built to operate between regulatory systems, not inside just one.Both the EU and the US now have stablecoin frameworks. MiCA is in full enforcement. The GENIUS Act is in its rulemaking phase, with Treasury targeting final rules by July 2026. After years of regulatory uncertainty,…

Have you ever wished you had a time machine so you could go back in time and avoid all the costly mistakes you made early-on in your trading career? Unfortunately, there is no time machine, but for all you beginning traders out there, you have the enormous advantage of being able to learn from those traders who are more experienced than you. If you apply a little commonsense and humility, you can learn a lot from mentors like myself who have been trading for decades. I’m not saying you will be able to avoid losing trades by reading this article,…

The Industry Growth Program pause comes as startups grapple with broader uncertainty around grants, tax reform and Australia’s evolving innovation strategy. The federal government spent budget week promoting new startup tax incentives and innovation reforms. Not to mention scaring the ecosystem with CGT changes. But behind the scenes, one of Australia’s biggest commercialisation grant programs has quietly paused new applications. As first reported by InnovationAus, The Industry Growth Program (IGP) is no longer accepting new grant applications while the government reviews the program’s future. Businesses and advisors were reportedly notified of the pause last week. The program itself was originally…

US Tiger Securities, which is affiliated with the brokerage firm TradeUP Securities, disclosed the breach in a government filing last week. The firm says some of its files were copied by an unauthorized third party last July. “On July 10, 2025, we discovered that we were the target of a cybersecurity incident and that files were encrypted in our virtual back-office environment that supports the shared back-office functions of both US Tiger and TradeUP.

North American listed miners are responding to challenging post-halving economics by pivoting toward AI infrastructure — but not uniformly, and not without risk. The shift is splitting the sector into different kinds of companies. Bitcoin, meanwhile, looks likely to absorb the change largely as designed. One of the biggest stories of 2026 so far has been the shift by North American listed bitcoin miners into Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure. MARA and CleanSpark became the latest examples on May 11, 2026, both posting heavy losses for the quarter ended March 31, while elaborating on plans to expand their focus on AI…

Businesses evaluating AI phone agents aren’t comparing basic IVR systems or simple auto attendants anymore. In 2026, agentic AI platforms combine telephony, speech recognition, large language models (LLMs), analytics, compliance tools, orchestration layers, and CRM integrations into one connected workflow. As AI phone agents become more advanced, pricing has also become harder to compare. Some vendors charge a simple per-minute fee, while others separate telephony, transcription, voice generation, integrations, and AI model usage into multiple costs. Without understanding how these pricing models work, businesses can easily underestimate implementation fees, overage charges, scaling costs, and long-term operational expenses. This guide explains…
