Citadel Securities just put institutional weight behind what the AI bulls won't say out loud. In a new macro note titled "Tokenomics," Citadel makes the argument plainly: even the most powerful technology on earth still has to pass through the boring discipline of cost curves, capacity limits, and marginal returns. The evidence is piling up: – Amazon removed its token usage leaderboard – Microsoft cancelled Claude Code subscriptions – Multiple companies reporting unexpectedly massive token bills Their conclusion is the part that matters. Adoption is no longer about what AI can do in principle. It's becoming about the price and scarcity of the inputs needed to run it at scale. Compute. Power. Cooling. Memory bandwidth. Inference budgets. All real, all binding constraints. And here's the kicker from the chart. The Silicon Data LLM Token Expenditure Index, a benchmark for how much the market is actually spending on AI tokens, has started rolling over. Citadel reads it as a shift toward cheaper models. Companies substituting away from expensive frontier AI toward "good enough" alternatives. That's economics 101 doing what it always does. When the price of something rises, people use less of it, or find a cheaper version. Citadel sees a bifurcation forming. Frontier AI concentrated among a few firms with the balance sheets to absorb the cost. Everyone else quietly downgrading to simpler, cheaper models. This is the part of every technology revolution the early narrative ignores. The technology being real was never the question. The question was always whether the economics could carry the valuations. When one of the most sophisticated trading firms on earth starts writing about AI in the language of cost curves and rationing instead of limitless demand, the conversation has quietly changed. The hype was about what AI could do. The reckoning is about what it costs.

How does a fugitive cyber-scam boss buy his way into mainstream corporate industries? He uses Wall Street. A leaked forensic report shows Benjamin Mauerberger put millions of dollars straight into Bank of America. Short thread on the scoop. 1/3👇

Stablecoins are not an efficient way to strengthen the international role of the euro, says President Christine @Lagarde. The best solution remains deeper capital market integration through the savings and investment union and a stronger safe asset base ecb.europa.eu/press/key/date…

The Trump family crypto project quietly cashed in while regular investors got stuck holding the bag. Any crypto legislation that doesn’t shut down this presidential corruption and protect investors isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

THIS IS CRAZY: 🇺🇸 Weeks ago we started tracking a whale. 11 oil trades. 11 wins. Perfect timing. Every time. BBC validated it. White House denied it. Now a reporter asked Trump directly. "Are you concerned about insider trading?" Trump: "The world is a casino. It is what it is." Trade on a tip from your friend. Federal prison. Front-run a war decision with $17 million. No consequences. The President just told you the rules don't apply to everyone. The game is rigged. He just confirmed it.

Just finished Dalio’s Changing World Order. Now reading Fergusson’s When Money Dies. Weimar ran the same mechanism as quantitative easing. The collapse was more compressed, but the behavior of unconstrained fiat under runaway political pressure is identical. h/t @freddienew

Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files. Trump told him three times: "I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life." This video was deleted from twitter yesterday, you know what to do ‼️‼️

one of the scammier and more organized crime/china/russia linked crypto exchanges that published an "audit" a few years ago containing 3 pages where they redacted all of the numbers just bought itself a U.S. bank charter. what could go wrong?

Late to this as have been distracted by the far more fascinating story of what TerraLabs alleges really brought down the Terra Luna stablecoin. Also because I already explained my thinking about AI a couple of weeks ago at length. But will say this (since someone asked me). The Citrini report’s hypothetical scenario is the definition of “anti intelligence”. At some point the collective wisdom must and will recognise that allocating huge amounts of capital to AI to generate short term gains from labour displacement is the definition of investment in anti-intelligence. By definition, if the externality of your investment destroys your own market, makes everyone collectively poorer and results in stripping everyone from their their agency, it is a DUMB investment. The market selling off on this just signals the over dominance of short term greed traders, notably algo market makers like Jane Street who have no basic understanding of economic fundamentals as they deal mostly in arbs all day long that create the equivalent of a circular zero sum ant mill effect for society. If there was ever time for an ESG style investment crusade focused on social outcomes rather than bottom lines this is it. Unlike the other efforts this one can actually make a positive sum difference. People whose jobs can now be automated should not be fired but put in charge of preserving analogue knowledge and training new staff on the basics of the old ways. Call it a cultural performative art movement. Whatever. Or failing that labour hoarded until it becomes clear just how ai deployment will lead to greater returns. Alternatively retired but in exchange for dividend yielding perpetual equity in their former employer. We should reframe the situation. Create a scenario where those who are displaced first get to benefit from a long term corporate pay off proportional to their old salary. In fact if politicians were smart they would create some sort of law that banned AI displaced redundancy without such a pay off. That way AI investment results in incremental expansion and productivity not just maintenance of a steady zero sum growth state. citriniresearch.com/p/2028gi…

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions: First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate. Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work. Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.

🚨 BREAKING: Gavin Newsom is sounding the alarm on the midterms. “Wake up, America. If he rigs this election, you won’t have a country. You’ll have a president running for a third term.” This isn’t hyperbole. It’s a warning about power that refuses to let go and a test of whether Americans are paying attention.

BREAKING: @AOC just completely went off on Trump after ICE murdered Alex Pretti. "Donald Trump [is] accusing a Veteran Affairs ICU nurse (Alex Pretti) as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating services members to our country, who was dedicating his life to serving Americans. Who in his final act on this earth was helping a woman pushed to the ground. And they are calling him a Domestic Terrorist, in order to defend their gross abuse of power, their absolute breaching of the law and in order to precipitate greater conflict."

#wirecard #elmarvitt finance-magazin.de/banking-b… Der Artikel berichtet über einen ungewöhnlichen Vorgang im Umfeld der juristischen Aufarbeitung des Wirecard-Skandals. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Rechtsanwalt Elmar Vitt, der den Musterkläger im Kapitalanleger-Musterverfahren (KapMuG) gegen Wirecard vertreten hat. Nach Informationen des FINANCE-Magazins hat Vitt vom Staatsschutz eine sogenannte Gefährderansprache erhalten. Dabei handelt es sich um ein präventives Instrument der Polizei, mit dem Personen angesprochen werden, bei denen aus Sicht der Behörden eine mögliche Gefahr für die öffentliche Sicherheit bestehen könnte – ohne dass dies zwingend mit einem konkreten Strafvorwurf verbunden ist. Die Maßnahme gilt im Kontext eines wirtschaftsrechtlichen Großverfahrens als äußerst ungewöhnlich. Unmittelbar im Anschluss an diese Gefährderansprache hat Vitt nach Angaben des Magazins entschieden, sich vollständig aus dem Wirecard-Musterverfahren zurückzuziehen. Zu den konkreten Hintergründen der polizeilichen Einschätzung, zu möglichen Anlässen oder zu konkretem Verhalten, das die Ansprache ausgelöst haben könnte, macht der frei zugängliche Teil des Artikels keine Angaben; diese Details bleiben dem kostenpflichtigen Inhalt vorbehalten. Fest steht jedoch, dass der Rückzug des Anwalts eine weitere Eskalationsstufe in der ohnehin komplexen und politisch wie juristisch sensiblen Aufarbeitung des Wirecard-Skandals darstellt. Der Vorgang wirft Fragen nach den Grenzen polizeilicher Prävention, nach dem Schutz der anwaltlichen Tätigkeit und nach den besonderen Spannungen auf, die dieses Verfahren seit Jahren begleiten.
