AML Bitcoin founder to be sentenced on July 22, faces up to 30 years in prison for fraud and money laundering

A federal jury in San Francisco has convicted AML Bitcoin founder and CEO Rowland Marcus Andrade of wire fraud and money laundering. Andrade will be sentenced on July 22, 2025. He faces up to 20 years in prison for wire fraud, up to 10 years in prison for money laundering, and forfeiture of assets related to his crimes.

Trump plans to issue an executive order to promote the development of artificial intelligence and considers setting July 23 as "AI Action Day"

The Trump administration is preparing a series of executive actions aimed at powering the expansion of artificial intelligence in the United States, according to four people familiar with the matter. Among the measures being considered are making it easier for power generation projects to connect to the grid and providing federal land for the construction of data centers needed to expand artificial intelligence technology, the sources said. According to data from Grid Strategies, a power industry consulting firm, U.S. electricity demand is expected to grow five times faster than the 2022 forecast between 2024 and 2029. A report by consulting firm Deloitte shows that by 2035, the demand for electricity from artificial intelligence data centers could grow more than 30 times. People familiar with the matter said the government is considering putting high-maturity power generation projects in the front of the grid connection queue. The executive order will also authorize the Department of Defense and the Department of the Interior to govern land for project construction. The government is also considering simplifying data center permits by developing a national Clean Water Act permit, rather than requiring companies to apply for permits state by state. In addition, the White House is considering setting July 23 as "AI Action Day."

According to market news: Trump plans to deliver a speech on artificial intelligence on July 23

Trump plans to deliver a major speech on artificial intelligence next week, outlining his vision for ensuring the United States maintains dominance in the field of artificial intelligence. Trump is scheduled to speak at an event called "Winning the AI Race" on July 23, an administration official said in advance. The speech comes as the Trump administration is putting the final touches on an artificial intelligence action plan. The policy directive was ordered by Trump a few days after he took office in January. After the plan is released, Trump is expected to sign an executive order to implement the relevant policies, another person familiar with the matter said. Trump showed his interest in artificial intelligence early during his campaign, promising to unleash the vitality of artificial intelligence innovation by abolishing what his predecessor called "overly cumbersome regulations."

Latest Ethereum ACDE meeting: Developers plan to launch Fusaka Devnet-3 on July 23

The minutes of the 216th Ethereum Executive Core Developers Meeting (ACDE) summarized by Christine Kim show that today developers decided to remove EIP 7907 from the Fusaka upgrade, which means that there will be no changes to Ethereum's smart contract code size limit in the foreseeable future. A version of this EIP may be re-proposed for the Glamsterdam hard fork, but there is no guarantee that it will be included in the next hard fork. In addition, Tim Beiko shared a possible timetable for Fusaka's launch on the mainnet at the meeting. The proposed timetable is as follows: 1. Client public testnet release: the week of August 25; 2. First public testnet upgrade: September 22 to October 3; 3. Second testnet upgrade: October 6 to 10. ; In addition, developers plan to launch Fusaka Devnet-3 on July 23.

Regarding the Glamsterdam hard fork, developers have generally reached a consensus on what they plan to implement. However, they are still discussing several key issues on how the fork, including the "proposer-builder separation solidification mechanism" and the "block-level access list", will be implemented. After further consultation with the wider Ethereum community, developers plan to make a final decision on the core code changes in the Glamsterdam upgrade in the next two to four weeks.
