The post Coinbase makes a major play for India’s booming $3 billion crypto market with local currency launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nasdaq-listed Coinbase exchange announced Monday a major market move: the launch of direct rails for Indian rupees (INR). Starting June 1, 2026, the exchange’s Indian customers can deposit and withdraw rupees directly from their bank accounts via the Immediate Payment Service (IMPS), a move designed to eliminate the need for intermediaries and simplify the often-clunky process of entering the crypto market in the region. For a long time, Indians have had to rely on Peer-to-Peer (P2P) markets or third-party intermediaries to fund their crypto accounts. This method can be slow and, at times, risky, often leaving vulnerable users to payment scams or the sudden freezing of their bank accounts by law enforcement due to suspicious fund trails from unknown counterparties. Coinbase is bypassing that by integrating directly with the Immediate Payment

The post Binance Loses $1.2B in Stablecoin Outflows as Crypto Liquidity Dries Up in May appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TLDR: Binance recorded $1.2B in net stablecoin outflows in May, reversing two months of positive inflows. Bitcoin dropped 3.5% in May while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted gains of 5.15% and 10.5% respectively. Binance stablecoin reserves have fallen from $51B to $44B since November 2024, a decline of 13.7%. Analysts describe Bitcoin’s current rebound as technical, not backed by consistent liquidity-driven momentum. Binance stablecoin outflows reached approximately $1.2 billion in May 2025, marking a sharp reversal from the two prior months of positive inflows. This shift came even as traditional equity markets posted strong monthly gains. The S&P 500 rose 5.15%, while the Nasdaq climbed 10.5%. Bitcoin, however, closed the month down 3.5%, reflecting a disconnect between crypto and equities. Liquidity is not flowing into the digital asset market at this time. Crypt

A new belief set is uniting some of the wealthiest men in the world around a ‘transhuman’ future – actual humanity be damned Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, took to the Internet a few years ago to propose that homo sapiens would be the first species “to design our own descendants”. In his best case scenario, the “merge” between humans and artificial intelligence occurs at some point over the next 50 years. The alternative, where we remain simply human and the machines follow their own path, is more ominous. “If two different species both want the same thing and only one can have it – in this case, to be the dominant species on the planet and beyond – they are going to have conflict,” he wrote. More recently, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, who at one point last year was granted the power to reconfigure the US federal government, argued on his social media platform, X, that “it increasingly appears that humanity is a biological bootloader for digital superintelligence” –

The post SoftBank Bets Big on AI: €75 Billion to Build Massive French Data Hub appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SoftBank Group has committed up to €75 billion to develop 5 gigawatts of artificial intelligence data center capacity in France, its largest AI infrastructure investment in Europe. The pledge was announced at the 2026 Choose France summit in Paris, where President Emmanuel Macron secured commitments of tens of billions in foreign investment. SoftBank cited France’s low-carbon grid, industrial land, and engineering talent as primary factors behind its selection. A Phased Buildout Across Hauts-de-France The first phase covers €45 billion to deliver 3.1 GW of capacity across three sites in the Hauts-de-France region by 2031. SoftBank plans to add further locations across France as the program extends toward the full 5 GW target, working with SB Energy and other strategic partners on development. SoftBank Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son framed the move as part of a broader glo
