    as the end of next year.

    SEC APPROVES RULE CHANGE TO ALLOW CREATION OF ETHER ETFS (3 MINUTE
    READ) [8]

    The SEC has approved a rule change that paves the way for ETFs that
    buy and hold ether. The commission approved bitcoin ETFs less than six
    months ago - those funds have proven a big success for the industry.
    Many of the companies that sponsor bitcoin ETFs have already started
    the process of launching an ether fund. The approval of ether ETFs is
    a sign that the SEC's stance toward crypto may be softening. The
    approval for ether ETFs does not extend to other crypto projects on
    the Ethereum network.

    A GRAND UNIFIED THEORY OF THE AI HYPE CYCLE (8 MINUTE READ) [12]

    The AI industry has seen several hype cycles throughout the decades,
    each producing genuinely useful technology and lasting longer than the
    last. Every cycle follows the process of a sigmoid curve rather than
    an exponential one. All strategies for developing the technology
    inevitably have a limit that doesn't take too long to find. While the
    current AI hype cycle is unlike any that have come before it, it will
    likely follow a similar trajectory as previous cycles.
