Donald Trump and three top tech firms announced on Tuesday that they would create a new company called Stargate to grow artificial intelligence infrastructure in the U.S. The President also said the three companies will collaborate and invest $500 billion in the AI infrastructure project.

Trump met with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, and Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison at the White House to announce the company. The President also said Stargate will be the “largest AI infrastructure project in history.”

SoftBank plans to pour $500 billion into Stargate

Trump announced that OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle will create Stargate to grow artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States. The firms also said they will begin with an initial $100 billion investment into Stargate and plan to invest up to $500 billion in the coming years. Trump also acknowledged that the project is expected to create 100,000 jobs in the U.S.

The president highlighted that Stargate would build the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of AI, including data centers nationwide. Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison also revealed that the group’s first 1 million-square-foot data project was already under construction in Texas.

“Infrastructure in the United States is super important, AI…requires massive amounts of infrastructure, power, computer chips, data centers, and we need to build that here and we need to be able to have the best AI infrastructure in the world to be able to lead with the technology.”

–Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI.

Leaders from AI companies have been advocating for months for more data centers to power their artificial intelligence ambitions in the coming years. Altman said that he believes Stargate will be the “most important project” in this era. He also maintained that the companies would not have been able to bring Stargate to fruition without Trump.

OpenAI’s CEO had previously urged U.S. officials to help in the infrastructure buildout to ensure the country remained ahead of China in the AI arms race. Altman argued that AI was poised to impact everything from the economy to military capabilities in the coming years.  He also met with Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son last year to solicit investment in new semiconductor plants for building AI chips.

Altman also said last month that he believes Trump will “be very good at” attracting AI infrastructure investments to the United States and that he was looking forward to working with Trump’s administration on such investments.

Altman hopes Stargate will secure American leadership in AI

OpenAI published a policy white paper last week revealing that investment in the U.S. AI infrastructure can ensure that U.S. AI tools win over Chinese technology. The report also highlighted that investment in U.S. AI infrastructure will create new jobs and economic opportunities. OpenAI also urged the U.S. government to create a foundational strategy to ensure that investment in infrastructure benefits Americans and maximizes access to AI.

The AI company also estimated that it had $175 billion in global funds awaiting investment in AI projects. The firm argued that if the U.S. did not attract those funds, they would flow to China-backed projects, strengthening the Chinese Communist Party’s global influence.

Oracle also acknowledged that the Stargate project will secure American leadership in AI. The firm added that the project will create hundreds of thousands of American jobs and generate massive economic benefits for the entire world. According to Oracle, Stargate will not only support the re-industrialization of the U.S. but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies. 

OpenAI said SoftBank will have financial responsibility for the project, and Son will be Stargate’s chairman. The firm also said it will have operational responsibility for the project. According to OpenAI, a fourth partner, MGX, will also contribute funding to Stargate.

The President also reversed former president Joe Biden’s executive order that aimed to monitor and regulate AI risks.

This situation has brought chip manufacturers like Nvidia to the forefront.

The new Digital Assets Sandbox (DAS) by Chainlink represents a significant advancement in the field of asset tokenization, allowing financial institutions to conduct tests in days instead of months. 

This innovative solution could accelerate the adoption of asset tokenization in the financial sector, offering a secure and efficient environment for experimentation. Let’s see all the details below. 

Acceleration of tokenization trials for Chainlink: Digital Assets Sandbox

As anticipated, Chainlink has launched the Digital Assets Sandbox (DAS) specifically designed for financial institutions, with the goal of accelerating digital asset innovation. 

The DAS allows institutions to quickly explore new revenue generation opportunities, such as the tokenization of bonds, with improved time-to-market and greater overall efficiency.

Angela Walker, Global Head of Banking and Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, emphasized the growing institutional demand for secure testing environments for digital assets. In a statement, Walker noted: 

“The Digital Assets Sandbox by Chainlink addresses this need by allowing institutions to create rapid Proof of Concept in a few days, not months, leveraging the expertise of Chainlink Labs in research and development.”

Financial institutions need greater access to blockchain technology to drive innovation and develop new use cases.

The DAS of Chainlink provides a secure and reliable standard, facilitating on-chain finance on a large scale and improving the infrastructure of the financial sector.

Walker ha sottolineato l’importanza di questa iniziativa, affermando: 

“The institutional world needs to access the blockchain sector, and Chainlink provides the secure and protected standard capable of supporting on-chain finance on a large scale.”

The DAS also offers ready-to-use digital asset workflows, including the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), allowing institutions to develop stronger business and investment strategies. 

Kevin Johnson, Head of Innovation Competence Center at Euroclear, commented: 

“The Digital Assets Sandbox provides a safe environment where financial institutions and fintech can experiment and understand how technology influences operational and business models.”

The future of tokenization: a trillion-dollar opportunity

The tokenization is destined to become a market opportunity worth trillions of dollars. 

According to a report by the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA) and the Boston Consulting Group, the value of tokenized illiquid assets could reach 16 trillion dollars by 2030. 

The analysts at Citigroup predict a further increase of 4-5 trillion dollars in tokenized digital securities by 2030.

The estimates of Northern Trust and HSBC suggest that from 5% to 10% of all assets could be digitally tokenized by 2030, highlighting the immense potential and transformative impact of tokenization in the financial sector.

Chainlink (LINK) on the rise: signs of recovery and strategic accumulation

The market of criptovalute is showing signs of recovery after a phase of intense selling pressure, caused by the German government’s decision to liquidate all its reserves.

Among the main altcoins, Chainlink (LINK) has recorded notable increases in value. Strengthening this positive trend are unknown entities, likely whales or institutional investors, who have continued to accumulate LINK tokens in their reserves.

In the last three weeks, the large-scale accumulation of LINK suggests a positioning strategy by a major market player, indicating a possible bull sentiment. 

The cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez revealed that the whales have purchased over 10 million LINK in the last two weeks, worth nearly 120 million dollars.

IntoTheBlock has highlighted a significant trend in the net flows of LINK exchanges, which have been negative in the last two weeks. 

Approximately 110 million dollars of LINK have been withdrawn from exchanges during this period, a behavior often associated with an accumulation phase. 

This suggests that investors are transferring LINK from exchanges to long-term wallets, indicating a growing confidence in the prospects of LINK.

The data from Lookonchain shows that 93 new wallets have collectively withdrawn 12.75 million LINK tokens. Worth approximately 167 million dollars, from Binance starting from June 24, 2024.

This accumulation behavior aligns with the positive market sentiment, suggesting potential bull developments for LINK in the near future.

One of the most prominent supporters of Dogecoin and the CEO of X, Tesla, and SpaceX, Elon Musk, is once again in the heart of debate about the cryptocurrency. Within the context of the DealBook Summit that was held by The New York Times, the entrepreneur made a few remarks.
In the interview, Jesse Powell, who was the co-founder of Kraken and had previously served as the CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange, gave his thoughts. More specifically, Powell discussed the manner in which Elon Musk approaches the management of the social media network.
X (Twitter), which was once a publicly traded corporation in the United States, was acquired by Musk in a transaction of one billion dollars, which was billed as an effort to "rescue freedom of speech." The entrepreneur asserted that the platform was "subjugated" to the government of the United States of America while speaking at the DealBook Summit.
In addition, Elon Musk argued that this purported control was in violation of the Constitution of the United States of America and the First Amendment. To quote Musk:
Considering the extent to which the entire Twitter platform was essentially a sock puppet for the government, it was incredible. It would appear that there is a serious breach of the first amendment, particularly with regard to the level of control that the government had over all of Twitter, which is no longer the case with Twitter.
The co-founder of Kraken expressed agreement with Musk's position. In an effort to "protect" free expression, the current chief executive officer of the social media platform has been adopting adjustments in the site's regulations. This is what Powell said through his X handle:
There is a very compelling argument that Twitter makes against the notion that billionaires should not exist. In point of fact, it demonstrates that we must ensure the care of at least one individual who is worth $44 billion.
A number of other members of the cryptocurrency community concurred with Powell and his support of Elon Musk. This group of people appreciated Musk's role in "protecting" freedom; nevertheless, other others pointed out that it is important to prevent individuals and entities from accumulating power.
During the same interview, Musk discussed the problem that the platform needs to overcome with regard to advertisements. Apple, IBM, and Disney are among the companies who have made the decision to discontinue their marketing campaigns on X because of the company's claimed tolerance with "pro-Nazi" tweets by its employees.
In a conversation with Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, Elon Musk remarked, "Go F yourself. Take care of yourself. Does that make sense? As a result, Musk's fans have shown their support once again, despite the fact that Disney+, the streaming service owned by Disney, is reportedly experiencing a rise in the number of users who are quitting the service.
