Crypto Jobs May Be the Shortcut Past Trump’s New US Visa Rules

Crypto Jobs May Be the Shortcut Past Trump’s New US Visa Rules

The post Crypto Jobs May Be the Shortcut Past Trump’s New US Visa Rules appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US President Donald Trump has tightened rules for skilled workers, leaving foreign talent in limbo. A new $100,000 H-1B petition fee, proposed wage-based selection, and stricter entry controls are reshaping the immigration landscape. For many professionals, traditional pathways now look more like barriers. Yet one niche industry—crypto—may offer a lifeline. With skills in short supply and contributions easily proven in public, blockchain careers create alternate routes into the US through visas that reward distinction, not lottery luck. The Immigration Crackdown In September 2025, President Trump signed a proclamation imposing a $100,000 surcharge on new H-1B petitions. The fee does not apply to extensions or renewals, but it locks out new applicants without deep-pocketed sponsors. Sponsored Sponsored Alongside the fee, the administration proposed reforms that prioritize higher-wage and specialized roles. Entry-level or mid-salary applicants will find it harder to secure a visa. Trump just killed the H1B visa. Companies now have to pay $100K per year to bring foreign hi-skilled workers to the U.S. This will dissuade them from doing so, some jobs will be offshored. For Indian techies, the American dream just got killed. pic.twitter.com/j2Lx10ThPE — Zakka Jacob (@Zakka_Jacob) September 20, 2025 The move comes as H-1B registrations for FY 2026 dropped by 26.9% compared with the prior year. Uncertainty is already shaping hiring decisions across tech, healthcare, and finance. The Crypto Pathway To US Immigration Crypto is global, remote-first, and short of qualified professionals. Developers, cryptographers, and tokenomics experts can prove their impact with open-source code, conference talks, and published research. That record matters for visas like the O-1 “extraordinary ability” category. Unlike the H-1B, the O-1 has no cap and no lottery. It rewards applicants who can prove distinction through public achievements. Crypto professionals may also qualify for EB-1A or EB-2 NIW green cards. These categories value national…

Cardano proposes $50M to boost stablecoin, DeFi, and RWA

Cardano proposes $50M to boost stablecoin, DeFi, and RWA

The post Cardano proposes $50M to boost stablecoin, DeFi, and RWA appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Cardano Foundation has proposed allocating 50 million ADA (worth about $40.5 million) to a new liquidity fund to expand stablecoin adoption and DeFi activity on the network. The Foundation argued that deeper liquidity remains one of the blockchain network ecosystem’s most urgent needs. It added that an expanded stablecoin supply could bolster Cardano adoption and provide an adequate revenue source for its treasury. According to the Foundation: “This proposal not only seeks to deploy treasury funds for the good of the Cardano blockchain and create a sustainable source of revenue, but will also create additional benefits for the ecosystem.” According to estimates, the deployments could return about 4% annually to the treasury, citing correlations between trading volume and total value locked (TVL). If liquidity deepens, trading volumes are likely to rise, generating more sustainable yields for the network. The revenue earned through these protocols would be split: 15% would be converted to ADA and returned to the treasury each month, while 85% would stay in protocols to compound growth. Cardano’s new roadmap Meanwhile, the liquidity fund is only one element of a wider roadmap marking Cardano’s eighth anniversary. In its new roadmap, the Foundation revealed plans to scale its Web3 adoption team to target exchange integrations, tokenized asset partnerships, and enterprise use cases. By 2026, the Foundation expects to commit 2 million ADA ($1.62 million) to its Venture Hub, a program designed to back startups through collaborations with Draper University, Techstars, and CV Labs. According to the Foundation: “We aim to bootstrap the sustainability of the Cardano projects in the Venture Hub through direct investments and loans, technical advisory services, coaching, network advisory consultancy, integration support, and other business critical solutions.” The roadmap also extends Cardano’s push into real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The Foundation revealed that Cardano has already…

Telegram Launches NFT Stickers on TON Blockchain

Telegram Launches NFT Stickers on TON Blockchain

The post Telegram Launches NFT Stickers on TON Blockchain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Telegram, the renowned messaging platform with over 900 million active monthly users, takes a decisive step into the world of Web3. Starting today, thanks to the Sticker Pack initiative, NFT stickers are officially available on TON Blockchain. This innovation transforms one of the most loved and used tools by Telegram users into true digital assets: rare, ownable, and tradable directly within the app. From Pavel Durov’s Vision to Reality The idea of bringing stickers into the world of NFTs was anticipated by Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, during TOKEN2049 in Dubai in April 2024. Until today, ownership on Telegram was limited to elements like usernames, anonymous numbers, and gifts. The arrival of NFT stickers represents the natural evolution of this strategy, offering users a new way to express identity and community belonging, with the possibility of truly owning the symbols they use every day. NFT Stickers: What Changes for Users With the official launch, users can now mint limited edition stickers created by artists and communities from all over Web3, including well-known names like BAYC and Pudgy Penguins. These stickers can be transformed into NFTs on TON Blockchain, thus becoming unique and tradable digital items. NFT stickers are accessible directly in the app via Sticker Pack or through Getgems, the largest NFT marketplace on TON. The sticker market on TON was already buzzing: just in the last month, the trading volume grew by 8%, reaching 1.6 million dollars. With this new feature, the growth prospects are exponential. An Opportunity for Digital Culture Stickers have always been one of the most powerful tools for communication on Telegram, exchanged millions of times every day. Bringing them on-chain opens the doors to one of the largest potential waves of NFT adoption ever seen so far. As Alex T., Head of Growth at Sticker…

Verifying Intelligence in Singapore! – AMBCrypto

Verifying Intelligence in Singapore! – AMBCrypto

The post Verifying Intelligence in Singapore! – AMBCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. contributor Posted: September 23, 2025 House of ZK and Boundless, in partnership with Google Cloud, today announced Verifying Intelligence – a focused program on verifiable AI: proof-carrying inference, accountable data pipelines, audited agents, and privacy-preserving computation. The event, to be held on September 29th during TOKEN2049 week in Singapore, will convene prominent builders and policy leaders to define minimal verification standards for high-impact AI systems and to examine their societal externalities. Sponsors include Veridise, Ontology, 0G Labs, Laz AI, Gorka AI, and Altlayer. Verifying Intelligence addresses a simple requirement: powerful systems must be provable. If model behavior, data lineage, and policy constraints cannot be demonstrated with evidence, the system should not be deployed. The program pairs concrete technical work – proof systems, attestations, and verification tooling – with discussion on real-world failure modes: misaligned optimization, synthetic media risk, power concentration, and the erosion of user agency. “Verifiable AI should be viewed as an essential safety baseline,” said Ben Wynn, Chief Media Officer at House of ZK. “Our goal is to ultimately align builders on practical standards that any team can implement and any user can verify.”This edition follows the recent launch of The Verifier (hozk.io/the-verifier), House of ZK’s flagship editorial that examines the motive and consequence of technology.“In a time defined by exponential advances in cryptography, AI, and automated coordination, much of the conversation revolves around speed, scale, and market value. What’s missing is scrutiny of motive – the human layer underneath all this technology.The Verifier is not a source of final answers. It’s intended as a tool for asking better questions – about the systems we’re building, and why they exist.” – An excerpt from The VerifierVerifying Intelligence follows the ZK/AI Summit co-organized by House of ZK and Lagrange at TOKEN2049 Dubai (April 28th), which drew 3,000+ registrants, 500+…
