Goldman Sachs CEO Solomon wrote in The New York Times that the market's concerns about AI triggering a "massive wave of unemployment" are exaggerated. The U.S. economy will continue to create more new jobs through technological transformation, just as it did during the past industrial revolution and the internet era. Solomon stated that Goldman Sachs expects AI or automation to affect about 25% of existing work hours over the next decade, with significant impacts on white-collar sectors such as banking, accounting, and law. Research from Stanford shows that entry-level positions in highly automated roles like software engineering and customer service have declined by 16% compared to less automated industries.However, he pointed out that AI is also creating new job demands. For example, since 2022, the construction of data centers in the U.S. has generated over 200,000 construction jobs. Goldman Sachs itself may reduce some compliance and account opening positions but will increase hiring for client-facing roles in banking, trading, and asset management. Solomon believes that AI is more likely to enhance productivity rather than directly eliminate 25% of jobs. He stated, "Technological advancement and cultural change do not occur simultaneously; being replaceable does not mean one will necessarily be replaced." He also called for the government and businesses to jointly promote large-scale job retraining to address the structural changes in the workforce brought about by AI.

According to Cryptopolitan, Kenya's 2026 Finance Bill proposes a 10% consumption tax on virtual asset service providers, which is double the 5% rate for the gambling industry. The bill also requires crypto companies to pay a one-time licensing fee of 150 million Kenyan Shillings and an annual renewal fee of 2 million Kenyan Shillings before operating in Kenya, and to submit an annual report to the Kenya Revenue Authority containing user and transaction details.Analysts believe this move could force crypto trading platforms and users to relocate their business to countries that are more friendly to cryptocurrencies, undermining Kenya's significance in the African crypto market. Protests led by GenZ have resumed in places like Nairobi, protesting the increased tax burden on digital services, cryptocurrencies, mobile, and financial transactions.

Babylon Labs has initiated a temperature check proposal in the Aave community, proposing to integrate native Bitcoin as collateral on Aave V4 through the Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults protocol.This solution does not require wrapping, cross-chain bridges, or custodians. Users will lock Bitcoin in Taproot UTXOs, and redemptions will be controlled by on-chain rules (such as loan repayments), settling directly to Bitcoin UTXOs. The proposal deploys two Aave V4 Spokes: Babylon Core Lending Spoke (lending) and BTC Vault Swap Spoke (post-liquidation settlement).Collateral exists in the form of vaultBTC, a transfer-restricted ERC-20 token that can only be transferred between fixed whitelisted addresses. In the liquidation process, liquidators can immediately settle with WBTC, and subsequent Bitcoin redemptions will be completed by arbitrageurs.
