NVIDIA’s $4 Trillion AI Revolution: How the Chipmaker Overtook Apple and Microsoft

Government Shutdown Panic: Stocks Tumble, Jobs Data Vanish & Millions Brace for Impact

As the Sept. 30 spending deadline loomed, Congress remained deadlocked. The Republican-led House had passed a “clean” Continuing Resolution to extend funding, but Senate Democrats refused to back it without adding policy changes, chiefly extensions of Affordable Care Act insurance subsidies and undoing GOP Medicaid cuts reuters.com theguardian.com. Senate Majority Leader John Thune tried to invoke cloture on both the House GOP plan and a Democratic proposal that would fund through October with health-care add-ons. Neither measure secured the 60 votes needed, and the Senate adjourned without agreement. Once the clock struck midnight on Sept. 30, all unobligated appropriated funding lapsed, as The Washington Post and Reuters report bloomberg.com reuters.com. President Trump did meet with congressional leaders on Sept. 29, but talks collapsed. The White House Office of Management and Budget immediately directed agencies to execute their shutdown plans: “halt all but essential duties,” they ordered, “disrupting the jobs of hundreds of thousands of Americans” bloomberg.com bloomberg.com.

Meta’s $2B AI Chip Bet: Acquiring Rivos to Challenge Nvidia’s Dominance?

Meta’s move to acquire Rivos comes amid a major push by Big Tech to own the chips that power AI. The Santa Clara–based startup Rivos is a “stealth” AI-chip developer whose founders include former Apple and AMD engineers reuters.com waldencatalyst.com.

Kazakhstan’s Crypto Gambit: State Launches BNB-Fueled Digital Reserve Fund

Kazakhstan’s Crypto Gambit: State Launches BNB-Fueled Digital Reserve Fund

Kazakhstan’s bold move into crypto reserves reflects its ambition to become a regional digital finance hub. The Alem Crypto Fund is explicitly designed to accumulate high-grade crypto assets over the long term.

Capital One Savers Cheated Out of Billions – $425M Settlement Payout Deadline Fast Approaching

Capital One Savers Cheated Out of Billions – $425M Settlement Payout Deadline Fast Approaching

Capital One’s $425 million settlement stems from a years-long fight over alleged bait-and-switch tactics. The crux of the case is that Capital One promoted its “360 Savings” account as a top high-yield product, yet kept its rate locked at about 0.30% even as national rates climbed. At the same time, the bank quietly introduced a nearly identical “360 Performance Savings” account, which did pay much higher interest reuters.com consumerfinance.gov. Existing 360 Savings customers were largely kept in the dark – for example, Capital One reportedly removed most references to the old account on its website and even barred employees from telling customers about the new higher-rate account consumerfinance.gov. In January 2025, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau sued Capital One for this very scheme, estimating it cost consumers over $2 billion in lost interest consumerfinance.gov. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra blasted the bank for “cheating families out of billions” by baiting them with impossible promises consumerfinance.gov.
