Memeifornia | Bitcoin News

Bitcoin news and macro news update. Today I cover California’s push to restrict memecoins tied to public officials, Japan Bitcoin Industry’s new Aurora Lightning payments platform, Genius Group’s plan to rebuild its bitcoin treasury, and why Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech matters for bitcoin, gold, Treasury yields, and monetary policy. I also look at reported Abu Dhabi backing for World Liberty’s proposed trust bank, IREN’s costly shift from bitcoin mining toward AI cloud services, and Nvidia’s reported move to acquire Hugging Face. The mix spans bitcoin regulation, Lightning payments, bitcoin investing, monetary policy, mining economics, and open-source AI.
