The Bank of England has overhauled its approach to stablecoin regulation, ditching individual holding caps in favor of a forty billion pound per-coin issuance limit. Issuers will also be allowed to hold more reserves in government debt, a move that signals the BoE is trying to find a workable framework for digital currencies without strangling the sector before it matures.

Meanwhile, over at the Ethereum Foundation, the leadership conversation is heating up again. Co-executive director Hsiao-Wei Wang has announced she's stepping down, reigniting long-running questions about whether the foundation has the right people and structure to guide one of crypto's most important ecosystems through an increasingly competitive landscape.

And in Hollywood, A24 is taking seventy-five million dollars from Google to develop artificial intelligence tools for film production. It's a significant bet, pairing one of the most creatively distinctive studios in the business with one of the most powerful technology companies on earth. The question everyone in the industry will be asking is what that partnership does to the films themselves.

Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
