Deep & Emerging TechWe Want to 'Dominate' US: Revolut's Storonsky
Revolut is treating the US as a full-stack digital bank play—cards, loans, and AI-driven automation—rather than a niche FX or debit product. US banks and fintechs should assume fee pressure and higher UX expectations on every consumer touchpoint once that stack lands at scale.
Deep & Emerging TechNvidia commits $1B over five years to build out the US' "capacity for super intelligence research" in fields including quantum computing, healthcare, and energy
Nvidia putting $1B over five years into US “super intelligence” research is a bet that national-scale scientific compute will be GPU-centric and politically strategic. If you’re in healthcare, energy, or quantum, assume grant programs and preferred-partner lanes will increasingly bundle funding with specific compute stacks.
Deep & Emerging TechRevolut CEO Aims To Rival JPMorgan, American Express
Revolut’s stated goal to rival JPMorgan and Amex in the US, backed by AI and automation, is a direct challenge to the economics of legacy card and lending businesses. Incumbents should assume pressure on interchange, FX, and rewards economics, and accelerate their own automation to defend unit costs.
Deep & Emerging TechTechnology Used by Optical Atomic Clocks May Jump From Lab to Consumer
If optical frequency combs can be miniaturized out of the lab, precision timing and sensing move from national labs into consumer and industrial hardware. Hardware teams should start mapping where sub-nanosecond timing or ultra-stable references would unlock new products or margins.
