Jane Street and TSMC's venture arm have backed Etched, the startup betting that locking silicon to transformers beats Nvidia on inference economics
Central banks are warning that AI leverage is the real risk, not just the valuations
Etched, the transformer-specialized AI chip startup valued at $5 billion, has revealed Jane Street and a TSMC-linked venture firm as investors. The disclosures, reported by Bloomberg on June 30, 2026, arrive as the company puts its total funding at $800 million and claims $1 billion in contracts for its Sohu chip, which it says can replace up to 160 Nvidia H100s per server.
Central banks are warning that AI leverage is the real risk, not just the valuations
The IMF, BIS, and Bank of England have each warned this month that AI leverage poses a greater systemic threat than stretched valuations alone.

With AWS, Alibaba Cloud, and major blockchain ecosystems already pledged, the company is racing Mastercard, Stripe, and Coinbase to own the payment rails of the agentic economy, before regulators work out who is liable when no human is in the loop.
Ionic Digital takes Celsius Network's ruins to Nasdaq at a $2 billion valuation
Ionic Digital, formed from Celsius Mining's 2024 bankruptcy restructuring, filed Monday for a Nasdaq direct listing under ticker IOND days after closing a $400 million raise that values the company at $2 billion.

JPMorgan is treating digital assets as core banking infrastructure and the rest of Wall Street is following
JPMorgan has launched a USD deposit token on public blockchain, is assessing spot and derivatives crypto trading for institutional clients, and is co-building a multi-bank tokenized deposit network with Citi, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo targeting 2027. It's not a bet on crypto. It's a structural move to keep dollar settlement inside the banking system before stablecoins make that choice for them.
