Let's now take a look at what's trending in the news this morning.

El Salvador is looking to become a global leader in technology once again.

After being the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, the country is now betting big

on artificial intelligence.

The government has announced a

partnership with Elon Musk's ex-AI to launch the world's first national AI-powered public education

system. The initiative will put the GROC chatba into 5,000 public schools, aiming to modernize the

curriculum for more than 1 million students and teachers. Our next story, Terraform Labs co-founder Doe Kwan has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.

A federal judge in New York handed down the sentence Wednesday for Kwan's role in a massive fraud scheme.

The 2022 collapse wiped roughly $50 billion from the crypto ecosystem. The 15-year term is actually

longer than the 12 years prosecutors had asked for. Kwan must serve at least half of that

sentence in the U.S. before he's eligible to be transferred to South Korea, where he faces

additional charges. And lastly, Coinbase is making it easier for AI agents to handle money.

The company has released version 2 of its X402 protocol, a system that lets AI programs make stable coin payments autonomously.

This update adds support for more blockchains and fiat currencies.

It also introduces new security features like wallet-based identity, allowing developers to build smarter and safer payment tools for the artificial intelligence sector.

Those are your top three stories for the morning.
