Read previewWhen the chief executive of cryptocurrency startup Anchorage Digital posted a message in the company's "announcements" Slack channel in late November about an executive's departure, employees started buzzing. Just over a year after it received the charter, the OCC issued a consent order against Anchorage in April 2022. Regulators are aggressively scrutinizing crypto players and prioritizing monitoring crypto compliance. Regulators' viewThe OCC is now led by Michael Hsu, the former Federal Reserve regulator and self-described crypto skeptic who has viewed crypto companies' regulatory compliance in some areas as inadequate. A crypto bank would face risks in safeguarding digital assets in its custody, maintaining appropriate hedges in crypto-lending, and adhering to capital requirements specific to crypto assets, said Kim, who studies crypto and blockchain technology.

Highly successful people overcome them by having "prodigious amounts of productive paranoia," according to multi-time bestselling author and leadership expert Jim Collins. "The question is not if bad things will happen, it's when," Collins said last week at the 2023 World Business Forum summit. Sometimes, productive paranoia takes the shape of over-preparing for a presentation so you can anticipate every possible question your audience might ask. Constantly thinking about potential futures — both good and bad — is the type of productive paranoia that all professionals should have, Collins said.

Learning and development programs (L&D) are rising in popularity. But employees and employers aren't seeing eye-to-eye about their value, and many workers don't seem happy about it. In contrast, 51% of the executives surveyed said their companies' existing L&D programs feel like a "waste of time." More than half of C-suite executives (65%) said that their employees are "very satisfied" with their company's L&D programs. Executives should give employees ample time in their working schedule to take L&D courses, instead of asking them to sacrifice their evenings or weekends, Morgan says.

Artificial intelligence chatbots can write corporate memos, compose new episodes of The Office in iambic pentameter and potentially land you a lucrative new job. Nearly three-quarters of CEOs call generative AI a "top investing priority," according to a recent survey conducted by KPMG, an international professional services network. They're spending on AI in the hopes of increased profitability, innovation and security for their companies, respondents said. More than half of the survey's participants said they're spending more money on new technology than training current employees. The average job posting involving generative AI skills offers a $138,232 salary, says a September report from job search platform Adzuna.

"The single most important skill that everybody has pointed to is these two words: prompt engineering," Agarwal, the chief platform officer of multimillion-dollar education technology company 2U, tells CNBC Make It. Prompt engineering is essentially the skill of refining and inputting text commands for generative AI programs like ChatGPT. "How you ask for something [from a generative AI tool] is very critical," says Agarwal, the founder of online educational platform edX, which was acquired by 2U in 2021. Prompt engineering can particularly help prevent generative AI's biggest current drawback: regular occurrences of mistakes, fabricated information and other errors, all known as "hallucinations." A well-trained engineer "can stop [AI] from hallucinating by providing constraints," creating more accurate and efficient results, Agarwal says.

Insider Today: Side hustles' turning point

A new study from Morgan Stanely makes the case that generative AI will enable people to work multiple jobs, writes Insider's Alistair Barr. In the US alone, multi-earning has increased 11% over the past year, largely thanks to the rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT. New research from EY found that nearly 40% of Gen Zers had a side hustle to earn extra money. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact bosses don't seem to care if their employees are working multiple jobs, albeit with one caveat. To be sure, executives' acceptance of employees working multiple jobs might be short-lived.

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio is sure that artificial intelligence will soon be a "great disruptor" in all of our lives — for both better and worse. "All these changes are going to happen in the next five years," Dalio, the founder of hedge fund giant Bridgewater Associates, added. I mean that you're going to see [changes] next year ... the next year, [even bigger] changes. That could open up a lane of opportunity for workers, who can learn and use AI skills to make some extra cash. Whether you're excited, curious or flat-out scared, "now would be the time to increase your knowledge," she added.

Nearly half of CEOs — 49% — say AI could effectively replace "most," or even "all," of their own roles, and 47% say it might even be a good thing, according to a survey from online education platform edX. The poll, published on Tuesday, surveyed 1,600 full-time U.S. workers, including 800 C-suite executives and CEOs, as well as 800 non-executive workers. "It is clear that a majority [of executives] think that AI is going to be transformative," he tells CNBC Make It. It could also tackle other CEO responsibilities, like analyzing market data and brainstorming ways to improve a business' operations, some experts say. Delegating those mundane tasks could help CEOs focus on "the things that make them CEOs ... vision and dreaming about new products and selling," Agarwal says.

Some investors are shunning Wall Street’s tech frenzy
  + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( Krystal Hur | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —While many on Wall Street have chased the monster rally in mega-cap tech stocks this year, exchange-traded fund (ETF) investors seem to be bucking the “all-in on tech stocks” trend and opting for a more diversified strategy. The Nasdaq Composite index has climbed about 31% for the year, powered by a handful of tech stocks that have soared on hype surrounding artificial intelligence. The Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund saw $955 million of net outflows in the first half of 2023 compared to $291 million net inflows in the first half of last year. Investors had piled into tech-focused ETFs last year when the sector had fallen out of favor, betting that tech stocks would recover, buoyed by an economy that remains resilient despite the Federal Reserve’s punishing pace of interest rate hikes. Now, investors are exiting these ETFs and reallocating their cash to quality stocks with strong balance sheets that can withstand a potential economic downturn, says Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi.

And the highly regulated institutions wanting to give their clients access to bitcoin are still a little skeptical that the crypto industry has learned its lessons. Another issue is there aren't enough dedicated custodians in the crypto industry. The Go Network acts as a platform on which partner firms can execute and settle trades between crypto assets and fiat currencies. BitGo handles custody of crypto assets while dollars are spread across a network of banks for safekeeping. "[The crypto industry] was operating on the edge, saying, it's risky, but we're making a lot of money.

For many crypto investors, this week felt like the beginning of a new era – and ironically, it was driven by the old guard of financial institutions. Bitcoin ended the week up 17.1% at $30,864.67, according to Coin Metrics, for its best week since March 17. At one point on Friday, bitcoin rose to as much as $31,412.72 , its highest level since June 8, 2022. BlackRock filed an application for its spot bitcoin ETF June 15, spurring a flurry of fund filings from other asset managers. In the past two weeks, bitcoin's trading volume has increased 0.5% on a week-over-week basis, according to JPMorgan.

Bitcoin price hits its highest level in a year

CNN —Bitcoin on Friday shot up to its highest level in about a year. The cryptocurrency rose above $31,400 a coin on Friday, its highest level since 2022, before paring back its gains. BlackRock last week applied to register a bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund, according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Crypto exchange EDX Markets, backed by firms such as Charles Schwab, Fidelity Digital Assets and Citadel, also launched its digital asset trading platform this week. The SEC earlier this month sued Coinbase, the US’s largest crypto exchange, alleging that it is acting as an unregistered broker.

Today we've got stories on a startup helping you build your credit with rent payments, Wall Street reentering the home-buying frenzy, and how to cut out late-night snacking. But that hasn't stopped critics from painting BlackRock's filing as part of a wider power shift in crypto benefiting traditional financial firms. (It's worth noting that the announcement coincides with the launch of EDX Markets, a crypto exchange backed by Wall Street royalty like Citadel Securities, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab, per The Wall Street Journal.) Wall Street isn't in the business of supporting causes that could put it out of business. By partnering with traditional finance firms, crypto companies are letting the fox in the hen house.

June 21 (Reuters) - Bitcoin rallied for a third straight day after hitting its highest level since mid-April, boosted by BlackRock's (BLK.N) plan to create a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) even as the sector faces U.S. regulatory scrutiny. Earlier this month, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued major crypto exchanges including Coinbase and Binance. Bitcoin, the world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency, was last up 5.5% on Wednesday at 29,881.00 after hitting a high of $30,755.00. "It started with BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF filing and now others are following," said Edward Moya, a senior market analyst at OANDA. "Who needs regulatory clarity if you see BlackRock making a move?"

Crypto influencers seized on BlackRock's application to launch a bitcoin exchange-traded fund. Some said it sends a bullish sign to the wider crypto market; others spread conspiracy theories. The attention underscores the relatively new scrutiny BlackRock faces in the mainstream. "So BlackRock, Citadel, Deutsche Bank and NASDAQ have all started to enter the crypto space in the last week. Citadel, BlackRock, Schwab JPMorgan…" (These tweets refer to Citadel, the hedge fund founded and led by billionaire Ken Griffin.

A crypto exchange backed by financial giants Charles Schwab , Fidelity Digital Assets and Citadel Securities has officially launched trading in four crypto assets, the company said Tuesday. EDX Markets first announced its launch plans for a "non-custodial" exchange in September, about two months before the collapse of FTX. The EDX exchange allows trading of bitcoin , ether , litecoin and bitcoin cash – none of which were named "crypto asset securities" in the lawsuits the Securities and Exchange Commission brought against Binance and Coinbase two weeks ago. EDX also has plans to launch a clearinghouse business this year to facilitate the settlement process but will still keep customer assets held at third-party banks and a crypto custodian. The company is set to announce Tuesday that it has closed a second funding round with new investors, including the options-exchange operator Miami International Holdings and affiliates of proprietary trading firms DV Trading, GTS, GSR and Hudson River Trading.
