Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins is spearheading an effort to create a "token taxonomy" that looks to delineate between what cryptocurrencies would be securities as the agency forges ahead with a new approach to regulating digital assets. In prepared remarks on Wednesday at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's Fintech Conference, Atkins laid out his plans for that taxonomy, which he said will be rooted in the Howey Test. The Howey Test is based on a 1946 U.S. Supreme...

The video is slapstick perfection: a humanoid called AIdol staggers onto a Moscow stage to the Rocky theme, wobbles, waves—and promptly face-plants as handlers rush in with a black sheet. The clip went viral within hours. Its team blamed “calibration issues.” The symbolism is too neat to resist. Russia, punch-drunk on techno-nationalism, is playing catch-up, a week after America’s most controversial CEO was doing the robot dance in Austin—and asking investors for $1 trillion to finance an emb...

Even if Tesla builds the robots elsewhere, it will still depend heavily on China. Whether the servomotors that drive a humanoid's joints, the harmonic reducers that give it fluid movement, the force and torque sensors, the machine-vision modules, the LFP batteries that stabilize its center of gravity, and the aluminum alloys and specialty steels that form its skeleton — China leads in production, cost, and refinement for nearly all of them. Musk can diversify assembly, but he cannot escape de...
