Happy Monday, Ndaxers— Here’s what happened last week:
US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed venture capitalist David Sacks as the White House’s first AI and Crypto Czar, a role designed to shape regulatory policies for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. Sacks, who will also chair the Presidential Council of Advisors for Science and Technology, is tasked with fostering a crypto-friendly regulatory environment and enhancing American competitiveness in emerging technologies. Acting as a liaison between the administration, Congress, and agencies like the SEC and CFTC, Sacks is expected to advocate for clearer legal frameworks for AI and crypto. His appointment underscores Trump’s ambition to position the US as a global leader in these sectors. cryptonews
Solana developers have proposed an increase in the network’s block compute limit from 48 million to 50 million units to enhance transaction capacity and efficiency. The proposal aims to improve transaction processing without compromising network stability, with a focus on non-vote transactions. The change is still in draft form, and further adjustments may be made before final approval. The adjustment is seen as a step towards greater scalability while maintaining balance and performance.

Canada's unemployment rate increased by 0.3 percentage points to 6.8% in November, while the economy added a net 50,500 jobs, raising expectations for a potential 50 basis point interest rate cut from the Bank of Canada. The unemployment rate, the highest since January 2017 (excluding the pandemic period), reflects a mismatch between job growth and the expanding labor force. Despite a significant gain in full-time jobs, particularly in the public sector, the rise in unemployment suggests economic struggles, particularly in private sector growth. The jobs report has led to increased market speculation that the Bank of Canada may opt for a 50 basis point rate cut, with economists divided between a 25 or 50 basis point reduction. Yahoo Finance
