cryptocurrency sector

The artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency industries are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising campaigns across the United States. The money aims to shape American public opinion on the two technologies and to elect allies to Congress and key state offices ahead of the midterm elections. The effort reflects how deeply both sectors now invest in politics as regulation of AI and digital assets becomes a live issue in Washington.

Solmate has appointed Scott Buchanan as its chief financial officer. Buchanan joins from Bitcoin Depot, where he built his reputation as a finance executive in the cryptocurrency sector. The move signals the company's intent to strengthen its leadership as it navigates the digital assets market. Details on his start date and remit were not immediately available.
