FCC to scale security around undersea cable security to deter AI threats from China

The Federal Communications Commission has cleared new measures designed to accelerate and strengthen the security of subsea data cable networks, over concerns of rising dangers from China and other foreign actors. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr commented , “We not only want to unleash the deployment of new undersea cables — we want to make sure those cables are secure. In recent years, we have seen submarine cable infrastructure threatened by foreign adversaries, like China.” U.S. reinforces security and streamlines licensing Undersea systems are a critical communication backbone and thus high-value targets for espionage or sabotage. FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty even cautioned, “Our global adversaries understand this,” emphasizing that these networks are uniquely exposed to espionage, sabotage, and surveillance. Nonetheless, under the new framework , authorities will simplify the licensing process for subsea cables, impose tougher security standards, and bar involvement by foreign entities flagged as security threats. License bids from entities linked to rival governments will also face an initial presumption of rejection, unless proven harmless to U.S. security interests. The regulations further compel enhanced cyber and physical protections for all cables making landfall in the U.S. The measures fit into a wider U.S. push to curb China’s influence in critical technologies. Trusty noted that China’s swift expansion in undersea infrastructure and Russia’s proven capacity to trace and chart cable networks are realities that underscore the urgency of the new regulations. In its release, the commission also said that with the submarine cable market becoming increasingly competitive, U.S. connectivity should remain a top priority. It added that the new measures will help expand network capacity to serve growing internet and data requirements and help maintain U.S. dominance. Moreover, it has put forward an NPRM inviting feedback on further protections for subsea cables, measures to boost reliance on U.S. cable service vessels, and efforts to advance “trusted technology abroad.” Ciena’s CTO says authorities should deploy cables in new, less-populated areas According to Carr, undersea cables handle nearly all internet traffic worldwide and support over $10 trillion in daily financial flows, inviting more private companies to invest. He stated that private sector spending on new undersea cable projects has averaged $2 billion per year for the last ten years. The new rules won unanimous support from the three current commissioners, with the FCC planning to gather public comments on further measures to hasten infrastructure deployment that can cost $30,000 to $50,000 per kilometer. In a blog post, Ciena’s international CTO advised that future submarine cables should be deployed in new, less populated areas that are closer to power. However, he warned the strategy would be costly and time-consuming. Nonetheless, FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez believes the new regulations will boost critical investments needed for future developments, aside from streamlining processes related to submarine cables. U.S. regulations of subsea cables stretch back to the 1800s, with the FCC regulating them since 1954. So far, the commission has issued licenses for 90 systems, noting 5.3 million Gbps of available capacity in 2022 and an anticipated 6.8 million Gbps in 2024. Get seen where it counts.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Can BTC Reclaim $120,000 Or Is It A Bridge Too Far

Bitcoin (BTC) started a fresh increase on Wednesday, reclaiming $115,000 and settling at $115,051. The flagship cryptocurrency continued pushing higher on Thursday, rising over 2% to cross $117,000 and settle at $117,483. However, BTC is marginally down during the ongoing session, trading around $116,924. BTC found support after a substantial decline on Tuesday thanks to a dovish Federal Reserve. Analysts believe the latest rally is driven by institutions that are leveraging market liquidity and liquidation effects to push BTC past $115,000. Union Jack Oil Bets On Bitcoin (BTC) Union Jack Oil, a publicly traded UK energy company, is eying Bitcoin to help unlock its West Newton field. The company is betting on converting gas into Bitcoin hashrate to generate cash flow from the field, which has around 200 billion cubic feet of untapped gas. The company has announced an agreement with field operator Rathlin Energy and Texas-based 360 Energy to explore Bitcoin mining at the West Newton gas field. The deal will see the mining companies deploy modular data centers. These data centers will use stranded gas from the field’s WNA-2 well. If the project is approved, it could be expanded across the field’s 200 billion cubic feet of reserves. Union Jack Oil hopes the initiative can help break the field’s regulatory quagmire. The discovery was announced in 2019, but the field remains undeveloped due to the UK’s fragmented onshore planning network. David Bramhill, executive chairman of Union Jack Oil, outlined the company’s frustration, stating, “Regulatory uncertainty has unduly hampered progress, and planning challenges have tarnished somewhat the perception of several commercially attractive onshore projects, such as West Newton.” The partnership with 360 Energy could help monetize gas, which would otherwise remain stranded. “The relationship with 360 Energy has the potential to enable the Joint Venture partners to realise significant returns from natural gas volumes via wells that would not otherwise contribute to either the early production scheme or the full field development.” SBI Holdings Denies Filing For Bitcoin-XRP ETF Japanese financial conglomerate SBI Holdings has denied reports that it had filed for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ripple (XRP) ETFs. Several media reports on Wednesday claimed SBI had filed an ETF application for two crypto investment products, a dual gold and crypto ETF and a dual BTC and XRP ETF. The reports cited SBI’s earnings report to back up their claims. However, an SBI representative stated, “Contrary to some media reports, we have not filed any applications with the authority to form an ETF related to crypto assets. It is only at the planning stage.” Japanese regulators are still debating the classification of crypto. Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) proposed recognizing specific crypto assets and products as financial instruments under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA). The SBI representative stated, “In Japan, ETFs that incorporate crypto assets are expected to be approved in a way that aligns with the responses of the financial authorities and tax authorities. Therefore, the filing will be done after these legal revisions have been made.” Bitcoin (BTC) Could Be Heavily Undervalued: Capriole Investments Charles Edwards, the founder of Capriole Investments, believes Bitcoin (BTC) is heavily undervalued and should trade as high as $167,800 per coin if its price matched its energy value. Charles calculated that Bitcoin’s true value is 45% higher than the current price levels. According to Edwards, Bitcoin’s fair value metric, created by Capriole Investments in 2019, states that Bitcoin’s fair value is a “function of energy input, supply growth rate, and a constant that represents the fiat dollar value of energy. In simple terms, this means Bitcoin’s value should be zero if miners stopped participating in the network. However, current record hashrates show Bitcoin is anything but worthless. According to on-chain analytics platform Glassnode, the current hashrate stands at 1.031 zettahashes per second (ZH/s). Edwards stated, “Hash Rates are flying, and Bitcoin Energy Value just hit $145K. That puts the price at a 31% discount on value. We are trading at a deeper discount to value today at $116K, than when Bitcoin was at $10K in September 2020.” Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis Bitcoin (BTC) made a strong recovery after dropping to an intraday low of $112,707 on Tuesday. The flagship cryptocurrency reclaimed $115,000 on Wednesday and soared past $117,000 on Thursday, settling at $115,483 before dropping during the ongoing session. BTC’s strong recovery is likely due to the Federal Reserve and President Trump. Federal Reserve governors struck a dovish tone, with Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams opening the door for a rate cut in September. Mary Daly, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and Neel Kashkari, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, cited the NFP report and revisions as a reason for interest rate cuts. President Trump’s executive order allowing Bitcoin and other alternative assets in retirement plans also boosted investor sentiment. Markets will now turn their attention to the US CPI report due next week. Lower-than-expected numbers could seal expectations for a rate cut in September, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell likely announcing it at the Jackson Hole Symposium. However, higher-than-expected numbers could see the Fed adopt a hawkish stance yet again. BTC’s recovery was also driven by smart money, pushing prices up after weeks of sideways movement. Bitunix analysts explained that major funds are leveraging market liquidity and liquidation events to push BTC higher. This means institutional players are buying BTC when liquidity is low. Thanks to low liquidity, the purchases are having a substantial impact on prices, drawing in more traders. “If $115k holds, smart money may guide the market to clear liquidity up to the $123k – $127k range. Continued ETF accumulation and expectations of macro monetary easing remain the broader backdrop for the bull market.” BTC started the previous week in the red, dropping 1.11% to $118,069. It encountered volatility on Tuesday as buyers and sellers struggled to establish control. Sellers ultimately gained the upper hand as the price registered a marginal decline. BTC fell to an intraday low of $115,772 on Wednesday. It rebounded from this level to reclaim $117,000 and settle at $117,788, ultimately registering another marginal drop. Sellers retained control on Thursday as the price fell nearly 2% and settled at $1165,800. Selling pressure intensified on Friday as BTC plunged over 2%, slipping below $114,000 and settling at $113,365. The flagship cryptocurrency continued declining on Saturday, falling 0.67% to $112,601. Source: TradingView Despite the overwhelming selling pressure, BTC recovered on Sunday, rising 1.52% to cross $114,000 and settle at $114,311. Buyers retained control on Monday as the price rose 0.69% to cross $115,000 and settle at $115,097. Price action turned bearish on Tuesday as BTC plunged to an intraday low of $112,707. However, it rebounded from this level to settle at $114,135, ultimately registering a 0.84% drop. Buyers returned to the market on Wednesday as BTC rose 0.80% to reclaim $115,000 and settle at $115,051. Bullish sentiment intensified on Thursday as BTC rallied, rising over 2% to cross $117,000 and settle at $117,483. The current session sees BTC marginally down, trading around $116,629.

XRP Faces Sell Pressure As Short-Term Holders Shift To Distribution Mode

As the broader crypto market gains bullish momentum, XRP is seeing renewed upward movement, reclaiming the $3.3 mark after trading below the level for several days. XRP’s price has bounced back from the recent downward trend, but notable selling activity has been observed among investors. Short-Term XRP Wallets Enter Distribution Mode Following its renewed upward move, XRP is once again in the limelight due to short-term holders, who seem to be changing their strategies. XRP is once again in the news because short-term holders seem to be changing their strategies. A recent report from Alphractal, an advanced investment and on-chain data platform, shows that the short-term holders appear to be moving from accumulation mode to active distribution mode. The development was observed and reported by the platform after examining the short-term holder active supply ratio. This behavioral shift among short-term investors points to growing prudence in the face of market turbulence. XRP’s Short-Term Holder Active Supply Ratio chart reveals that these investors are currently selling their holdings. According to the platform, these distribution and selling patterns imply that recent buyers are reducing their losses or taking profits, which puts pressure on the market to sell. Another key metric examined by Alphractal to gauge XRP’s on-chain activity is the Net Realized Profit/Loss (NUPL). Looking at the chart, the metric is still at high levels that have not been seen since the peak in 2021, approaching those recorded in 2018. According to the on-chain platform, these high numbers show that there are still a lot of unrealized profits in the market, which often represent zones of possible distribution and price correction. Its Delta Growth Rate is not left out. Specifically, the Growth Rate is a metric that measures the 365-day moving average of the difference between market cap and realized cap growth rates. Alphrcatal noted that the key metric is currently displaying positive values. Such a reading suggests that speculative inflow is still driving the market, where price growth is outpacing the buildup of underlying on-chain value. A Critical Moment For The Altcoin After independently investigating these metrics, Alphractal has combined the results from each indicator, highlighting that the combined data results imply a delicate moment for XRP. While short-term holders distribute, NUPL remains in areas that have traditionally been linked to market peaks. In addition, speculative growth continues to outweigh fundamental considerations. As the altcoin approaches a crucial moment, the platform emphasized that this situation requires prudence and careful observation of support levels. This is due to the fact that it can signal a period of consolidation or correction prior to stronger long-term movements founded on actual accumulation. However, XRP might set a price base and win back investor trust if the overall cryptocurrency market starts to rise again.
