🕶️ Binance breathes, OpenAI booms

A new Bitcoin-focused accelerator has launched in London with £2.5 million from Fulgur Ventures and Initial Capital. The program backs startups building Bitcoin infrastructure, payments, and digital identity tools. It offers a six-month program, workspace in Hatton Garden, investor introductions, and policy roundtables with regulators, alongside partners like Bitcoin Policy UK.

Why it matters: The UK wants to lead in crypto and fintech. If this accelerator connects builders with institutions effectively, we could see more compliant wallets, digital ID systems, and B2B payment APIs. Founders gain regulator access and investor connections; VCs get vetted deal flow; and policymakers get real-world feedback. The real test: follow-on funding and enterprise adoption—not just demo day hype.

OpenAI just signed a seven-year, $38 billion cloud deal with Amazon to power its next wave of AI agents. The rollout starts now, with all capacity booked before the end of 2026 and possible expansion into 2027+.

The deal comes right after OpenAI’s restructuring ended its exclusive tie with Microsoft—giving it more flexibility, better pricing leverage, and Amazon a major win. It’s part of a massive global infrastructure race involving Oracle, SoftBank, the UAE, and top chipmakers.
