Robinhood offers to Uber cash to customers and have AI give trading advice

Trading platform Robinhood Markets plans to offer a service that delivers cash to its customers alongside an artificial intelligence research assistant that offers trading advice.

The company said in a March 27 blog post that its online banking arm, Robinhood Banking, will offer savings accounts to its Gold subscribers through its partner Coastal Community Bank and will be given the option to have physical cash delivered on demand.

“You could be sitting at home and decide to get a cash delivery the same way you’d want to order an Uber or a Postmates,” Robinhood Markets CEO Vlad Tenev said during a livestream

He added there are already home delivery services for groceries and meals, but banking still “hasn’t progressed that much past the branch office and the ATM.”

OpenAI expects to 3X revenue in 2025 but Chinese AI firms are heating up

OpenAI expects to more than triple its revenue this year to $12.7 billion, despite fast-growing competition from the likes of China’s DeepSeek and other competitors making rapid progress.

The ChatGPT creators also expect its revenue target for 2025 to more than double to $29.4 billion by 2026, Bloomberg reported on March 26, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The 2025 estimate is a little higher than the $11.6 billion revenue target that OpenAI was reportedly eyeing for 2025, The New York Times reported last September.

Bloomberg noted that the bulk of ChatGPT’s revenue has come from its paid AI software subscription offerings for consumers and businesses.

OpenAI reportedly hit 1 million paid users for the corporate versions of ChatGPT last September, while the company more recently added a $200 monthly ChatGPT Pro option.

The Blockchain Group adds 580 BTC as stock jumps 226% since Bitcoin pivot

France-based The Blockchain Group has added another 580 Bitcoin to its Bitcoin treasury, following a 225% surge in its stock price since it began hoarding Bitcoin in November.

This is the largest of the three Bitcoin purchases made by the organization, per a March 26 after-hours statement. At the time of publication, 580 Bitcoin is worth $50.64 million, with Bitcoin’s (BTC) price trading at $87,311, according to CoinMarketCap data.

First purchases at pivotal Bitcoin moments

The Blockchain Group’s first two Bitcoin purchases happened around significant milestones for the Bitcoin industry. It bought 15 BTC on Nov. 5, the same day Donald Trump won the United States presidential election and before Bitcoin went on a month-long rally that saw it reach $100,000 for the first time in December.

Bitcoin is up 24.38% over the past

Crypto urges Congress to change DOJ rule used against Tornado Cash devs

A coalition of crypto firms has urged Congress to press the Department of Justice to amend an “unprecedented and overly expansive” interpretation of laws that were used to charge the developers of the crypto mixer Tornado Cash.

A March 26 letter signed by 34 crypto companies and advocate groups sent to the Senate Banking Committee, House Financial Services Committee and the House and Senate judiciary committees said the DOJ’s take on unlicensed money-transmitting business means “essentially every blockchain developer could be prosecuted as a criminal.”

The letter — led by the DeFi Education Fund and signed by the likes of Kraken and Coinbase — added that the Justice Department’s interpretation “creates confusion and ambiguity” and “threatens the viability of U.S.-based software development in the digital asset industry.”

The group said the DOJ debuted its position “in August 2023 via criminal indictment” — the same time it charged <a data-ct-non-breakable="null"

Hyperliquid JELLY ‘exploiter’ could be down $1M, says Arkham

The trader behind recent “suspicious market activity” on Hyperliquid that led to the freeze and delisting of the Jelly my Jelly (JELLY) memecoin is potentially down almost $1 million from their actions.

Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence said in a March 26 post to X that the trader attempted to manipulate the system to profit from price movements, withdrawing collateral before Hyperliquid’s liquidation system could catch up.

The trader opened three accounts within five minutes of each other, two with $2.15 million and $1.9 million long positions, and the third a $4.1 million short, to cancel out the long positions, according to Arkham in a post-mortem report.

“This allowed him to build up leverage in an attempt to drain funds from Hyperliquid,” Arkham said.

Resolution to kill IRS DeFi broker rule heads to Trump’s desk

The US Senate has passed a resolution to kill a Biden administration-era rule to require decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to report to the Internal Revenue Service, which will now head to US President Donald Trump’s desk.

On March 26, the Senate voted 70-28 to pass a motion repealing the so-called IRS DeFi broker rule that aimed to expand existing IRS reporting requirements to crypto.

The Senate had voted to pass the resolution earlier in March, which also passed the House, but it was sent back to the Senate for a final vote before it could be sent to Trump.

The White House’s AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, has said Trump supports killing the rule.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.

Argentine poll suggests 57% don’t trust President Milei after LIBRA scandal

Nearly 58% of Argentinians said they don’t trust President Javier Milei following his involvement in the $4.6 billion Libra crypto scandal, according to a recent poll.

“More than a month after the crypto fraud scandal broke out, how much do you trust Milei today?” polling platform Zuban Córdoba asked 1,600 respondents in its recently released March survey, to which 57.6% replied that they disapprove of him, while 36% said Milei still has their trust.

The remaining 6.4% said they weren’t sure, the report stated.

This was the first time the question was asked within a Zuban Córdoba poll. However, several other metrics, such as Milei’s image and the national management approval rating, have plummeted considerably in recent months.

The latter of those metrics, for example, fell from 47.3% in November

Wyoming's Mark Gordon says state should issue stablecoin by July

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon said the state’s proposed stablecoin might be ready to launch by July, with the Wyoming Stable Token Commission announcing interoperability protocol LayerZero as a partner for the token launch.

Speaking at the DC Blockchain Summit on March 26, Gordon praised the speed and efficiency of the Wyoming state government in embracing blockchain technology. Anthony Apollo, the executive director of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, also confirmed:

“The Stable Token Commission has formally engaged LayerZero as our token development and distribution partner, and we have stable tokens — Wyoming stable tokens — on several test networks.”

Wyoming, which is represented by pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis, has been planning a state-issued stablecoin for years and has a history of embracing innovation in digital assets.

Hester Peirce calls for SEC rulemaking to ‘bake in’ crypto regulation

US Securities and Exchange Commissioner (SEC) Hester Peirce offered a few suggestions for longer-lasting changes in crypto regulation between administrations with potentially different views.

Speaking at the DC Blockchain Summit on March 26, Peirce, who heads the SEC’s crypto task force, said she expected that the commission could create more “durability” for digital asset regulations through rulemaking at the agency and legislation in Congress. Such rulemaking and laws would be in contrast to guidance issued by the agency, such as a recent statement suggesting that memecoins do not qualify as securities.

“I hope people won’t be sitting around thinking about the Howey test,” said Peirce, referring to a method to determine whether an asset is a security. “Your lawyers have to think about these things, I’m not saying that they’ll not be relevant, but it shouldn’t be the kind of thing that

GameStop jumps 12% after Bitcoin purchase plans

GameStop shares jumped nearly 12% on March 26 after the company announced plans to purchase Bitcoin (BTC).

The company plans to finance the purchase through debt financing. After markets closed on March 26, GameStop announced a $1.3 billion convertible notes offering.

The convertible senior notes — debt that can later be converted into equity — will be used for general corporate purposes, including acquiring Bitcoin, according to a company statement.

“GameStop expects to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Bitcoin in a manner consistent with GameStop’s Investment Policy,” it said.

The company revealed on March 25 plans to use a portion of its corporate cash or future debt to buy digital assets, including Bitcoin and US-dollar-pegged stablecoins. GameStop’s cash reserves stood at $4.77 billion on Feb. 1 compared to $921.7 million
