Microsoft (MSFT) is nearing a new deal with OpenAI to give it access to the latter’s technology and help OpenAI steer away from being “for-profit.” The companies have discussed new terms that would let Microsoft use OpenAI’s latest models and other technology, according to sources close to the negotiated deal. Negotiators have been meeting regularly, and an agreement could come together in a matter of weeks, according to three people with knowledge of the deal. OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella reportedly discussed the restructuring at the Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, earlier this month. No deal has been finalized, and the negotiations still face some hurdles on both sides. OpenAI and Microsoft to Reach a Compromise? The two tech giants have been at odds over maintaining an existing deal for months. Earlier this summer, rumors emerged that Microsoft and OpenAI could split.

As XRP trades above the $2 support zone, two artificial intelligence (AI) models have shared the price forecast for the asset at the end of 2025 in light of the recent stall in the Ripple and Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) case.  On May 17, a federal judge rejected a SEC settlement motion to reduce the $75 million penalty, citing procedural issues rather than addressing the case’s merits.  While the decision doesn’t worsen Ripple’s legal standing, it prolongs the uncertainty that continues to cloud XRP. This unresolved legal status may weigh on investor sentiment, as a judge’s approval of the settlement would have finally closed the chapter.  In light of this, Finbold gathered predictions from OpenAI’s ChatGPT and xAI’s Grok to assess how XRP might perform by the end of 2025 amid regulatory uncertainty. AI predicts XRP price for end of 2025 ChatGPT presented a scenario-based forecast shaped by how the SEC case unfolds in a bullish outcom...

The turmoil gripping the cryptocurrency market in 2025 has left many uncertain about where the many coins and tokens might go, and Finbold elected to ask artificial intelligence (AI) to predict XRP’s price this Easter. Indeed, the two strongly opposed factors affecting XRP price performance in 2025 – the increasingly permissive regulatory environment and the exhaustion of the digital asset bull cycle amidst broad economic uncertainty – are made abundantly clear by the token’s market fluctuations this year. Specifically, XRP has been volatile, reaching highs well above $3 and lows close to $1.75, but is, through the turmoil, a mere 0.21% down year-to-date (YTD) at its press time price of $2.08.

A closely followed crypto analyst believes one meme token operating on Solana (SOL) is in the early stages of a market recovery. Pseudonymous analyst Altcoin Sherpa tells his 243,800 followers on the social media platform X that he’s bullish on the memecoin Bonk (BONK). The trader shares a chart suggesting that BONK will face resistance at the $0.000012 level before printing a bullish higher low setup and rallying to his target above $0.0000145. “BONK is looking strong in the short term, and should go higher. Should be a pullback around the 200 EMA (exponential moving average) on the four-hour chart but still, I think this has pulled back enough to where any buying down here is probably reasonable.” Source: Altcoin Sherpa/X At time of writing, BONK is worth $0.00001376. Turning to the low-cap altcoin Alchemist AI (ALCH), the analyst says the coin appears to be in an uptrend and that he’s waiting for potential dips to accumulate the asset...
