Meta, previously recognized as Facebook, is working on crafting chatbots powered by artificial intelligence, each endowed with a unique personality. These bots will be capable of engaging in human-like conversations on a wide array of subjects or even emulate certain characters. The first iterations of these chatbots are slated for an official roll-out in September. Their primary role will be to assist in information retrieval or offer suggestions. Currently, the company has chosen not to offer any comments regarding this development.

A Twitter user (@hufhaus9) has created a visual timeline outlining the SEC’s response deadlines for the approval of BlackRock’s Bitcoin spot ETF. Just 10 days ago, the renowned global investment firm with $10 trillion in assets applied for a groundbreaking Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund in the United States. First deadline: August 12, 2023 Second deadline: September 26, 2023 Third deadline: December 25, 2023 Final decision: February 23, 2024 If granted approval, BlackRock will be able to purchase BTC directly from the spot market, potentially utilizing platforms like Coinbase, on behalf of its clients. With the BTC halving and these deadlines coinciding, the first quarter of 2024 promises to be an exciting period!

This Sunday (August 13) marks the first deadline for the SEC to weigh in on ARK 21Shares' Bitcoin ETF application. Weekend deadlines are tricky, but some analysts suggest the decision could drop today. Analyst James Seyffart puts the odds of approval at less than 5%. Keep an eye out for the next milestone: BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF deadline is September 2.

The decision is driven by the challenging regulatory situation. American clients will be able to purchase cryptocurrency until September 2nd, with a selling prohibition coming into force from October 2nd. Following this, the crypto platform will become completely inaccessible to American users, putting a stop to all digital asset operations, including holding.

Contrary to forecasts, the value of Salvadoran bonds rose by 62% after Fitch downgraded the country's credit rating in September 2022. Perhaps the 79% surge in BTC during the same period played a role in this unexpected turn of events. In 2021, El Salvador declared Bitcoin as legal tender and currently holds 2546 BTC. Despite skepticism from the IMF, the country also allocated $1 billion for the construction of a mining farm with a capacity of 241 MW.
