Crypto is global, and despite geopolitical conflicts, transactions continue to flow. As of early 2026, while a few countries strictly regulate crypto, the majority, including Russia and Ukraine, recognize that the underlying technology is here to stay.

Most conversations about crypto and artificial intelligence (AI) tend to drift into hypotheticals. The real overlap between the two is much simpler. If AI systems are going to work on their own, they need a way to pay for services. During a recent interview on TheStreet Roundtable with Markus Levin from XYO, Scott Melker framed the intersection clearly. “I get countless questions about the crossover between crypto and AI, where they meet,” he said. “And I think the clear answer is payments.” Related: E ...

Kiyosaki argued that policy mistakes at the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, and the US government make hard assets the safer long-term choice. He continues to advise his followers to remain consistent with gold, silv ...
