Published 7:01 AM ET

Crypto outpaced equities overnight—BTC +2.9%, ETH +3.4%, XRP +3.5%—while tech stocks closed mixed, TSLA down 3.0% and AAPL -2.1% offsetting strength in AMD +1.6% and PLTR +1.9%. AI governance just shifted: Trump administration plans a White House clearinghouse for frontier model access, while Kimi K3's shock wiped $392B from OpenAI and Anthropic valuations. Fireworks AI's bet on distributed enterprise intelligence and Gritt's $34M robotics play for solar plants signal where AI-infrastructure capital is flowing.
