De Nederlandse neobank Bunq heeft een opmerkelijke stap gezet: sinds kort kunnen klanten ruim 300 verschillende cryptocurrencies kopen via de Bunq-app. In samenwerking met handelsplatform Kraken kunnen gebruikers nu niet alleen Bitcoin, Ethereum en Solana aanschaffen, maar ook vele kleinere munten. CEO Ali Niknam geeft aan dat hij deze stap durft te nemen dankzij de heldere regelgeving die nu in Europa bestaat rond cryptovaluta. Het staat in schril contrast met de houding van Nederlandse banken in het verleden, toen cryptobedrijven vaak geen bankrekening konden openen. Nu lijkt de trend te keren, en bieden steeds meer traditionele financiële instellingen cryptodiensten aan. Critici vragen zich af of de bank hiermee niet haar beschermende taak uit het oog verliest, aangezien ook twijfelachtige coins als Fartcoin, Trump en Apu Apustaja worden aangeboden. De grote betalingsnetwerken laten ook van zich horen in de cryptowereld. Zowel Visa als Mastercard hebben plannen onthuld om stablecoins te integreren in hun betalingsnetwerk. Visa doet dit in samenwerking met Bridge, een onderdeel van betalingsverwerker Stripe. Mastercard kiest voor een partnership met OKX en Nuvei. De betalingsgiganten willen hiermee hun netwerken moderniseren en zich positioneren in een markt die steeds meer digitaal wordt. Voor deze bedrijven is dit een manier om relevant te blijven in een veranderend financieel landschap. Delen van deze plannen staan direct al live, wat aangeeft dat de ontwikkelingen in hoog tempo gaan. Ook op de cryptomarkt zelf valt er voldoende te melden. De Bitcoin-koers beweegt zich al sinds 23 april net onder de 100.000 dollar. MicroStrategy heeft zojuist weer 15355 BTC bijgekocht, wat bijdraagt aan de positieve prijsontwikkeling. Bij Ethereum-beleggers is de stemming anders - in vergelijking met Bitcoin staat ETH op het laagste punt in vijf jaar. De verhouding tussen deze twee grootste cryptomunten blijft een belangrijk aandachtspunt voor beleggers. Gasten Bert Slagter Links Bunq verkoopt crypto Visa integreert stable coin Mastercard ook!

What happens when blockchain meets AI infrastructure at scale? In today's episode, I sit down with Tory Green from io.net to explore how a decentralized GPU network could reshape the future of machine learning, AI development, and compute accessibility. io.net has grown rapidly over the past year. With more than 325,000 verified GPUs already in its decentralized network, it's offering an alternative to the high costs and limitations of traditional cloud compute. What caught my attention is the platform's ability to reduce GPU costs by up to 90 percent, giving startups and researchers access to performance that would otherwise be out of reach. In fact, over 73 partners have already integrated io.net's infrastructure, helping drive month-over-month network earnings growth of nearly 60 percent. But this conversation goes far deeper than computing. Tory walks me through the vision of a more transparent, open, and incentive-driven AI development ecosystem. From its collaboration with OKX to power Web3 infrastructure for AI developers to enabling real-world applications like Zerebro AI agents, io.net is building a new paradigm for how infrastructure should work in the era of intelligent systems. We also dive into the convergence of blockchain and AI, and why this isn't just a niche Web3 experiment. It's about creating real incentives for data sharing, enabling collaboration across models, and removing bottlenecks in how builders access the tools they need. Tory also shares how the company is evolving from a computing network into a full-stack AI development platform, including tools for no-code agent creation. So what will the next generation of AI applications look like when they're powered by a global, decentralized network instead of a handful of cloud giants? And how can developers take advantage of this shift today?
