The post Equities: AI Boom risks and resilience – Commerzbank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Commerzbank economists Dr. Jörg Krämer and Bernd Weidensteiner argue that the AI-driven investment surge in US high-tech and IT is substantial but not yet excessive compared with past booms. They see early signs of faster US productivity, elevated equity valuations and profit expectations, and warn of potential corrections, yet conclude the AI boom and associated stock market strength are likely to persist for now. AI boom, valuations and bubble risk “The introduction of artificial intelligence has triggered an investment boom, particularly in the United States. The sheer scale of the resources being deployed increases the risk of a bubble. This could trigger a setback in the stock markets. We have assessed the risks and concluded that the boom is likely to continue for the time being.” “Furthermore, while stocks are expensive, they are valued lower than they were at the peak of the dot-c

The post Empery Digital sells 1,400 BTC for $65M to fund AI pivot appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Empery Digital (NASDAQ: EMPD) sold 1,400 Bitcoins from the stash it built throughout 2025 at an average of $62,200 a coin, raising about $87.1 million to invest in AI data centers and pay down debt. The Nasdaq-listed company started the sale in May and is now left holding 1,514 BTC. Why did Empery Digital sell its Bitcoin? Barely one year ago, Empery Digital rebranded from Volcon Inc. and changed its whole business plan from electric vehicles to focusing on holding Bitcoin. Now, it is walking away from that strategy to chase the booming demand for AI computing power. Why? The simple answer is that its Bitcoin investment lost a lot of value. Cryptopolitan previously reported that Empery bought most of its Bitcoin when prices were around $117,000 per coin. However, when prices fell below $70,000 earlier this year, those holdings dropped more than 40% in value. The company revealed in an
Every AI headline in 2026, from frontier model launches to boardroom debates about agentic workflows, gets filed under the same catch-all word: AI. That flattening obscures a distinction that matters enormously for anyone trying to separate real capability from hype. Artificial intelligence is not one thing. It is a three-tier hierarchy, and almost everything currently […]
The post Kalshi vs Polymarket 2026: Fees, Markets & US Legality appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Two years ago the choice in the prediction market space was pretty straightforward. Polymarket was the crypto-native platform Americans weren’t meant to touch while Kalshi was the regulated US exchange that played by the book. Fast forward to today and there are multiple other prediction market platforms like Rothera, Predictdotfun, Opinion, Limitless etc that are looking to bite away at the market share. Despite competition ramping up, Kalshi and Polymarket are by far the leaders in terms of volume, number of trades and open interest. The line from two years ago, however, has mostly dissolved. Polymarket now runs a CFTC-licensed US arm and despite Kalshi fighting roughly a dozen states in the US over whether sports contracts count as gambling, the latest numbers on combined trading volume between the two platforms hit $47.5 billion in the month of June alone this year. That’s more tha
