The CBS segment was Trump’s first sit-down with 60 Minutes in five years, spanning the government shutdown, foreign policy, and crypto.
Trump said he “didn’t know” CZ and had been “told” Zhao was wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration.
O’Donnell pressed the president on Binance’s $2 billion transaction involving his family’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin.
In his first 60 Minutesinterview in half a decade, President Donald Trump defended his decision to pardon Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, insisting he had no personal knowledge of the crypto billionaire and was acting on what he described as a politically motivated prosecution by the previous administration.
Asked by correspondent Norah O’Donnell why he pardoned Zhao, who pleaded guilty in 2023 to violating anti-money-laundering laws, Trump replied frankly.
“Okay, are you ready? I don’t know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt,” Trump said in the interview, published Sunday evening.
Asked about how he hoped to address “the appearance of pay for play” given Binance’s $2 billion purchase of his family firm’s stablecoin earlier this year, Trump said he knew “nothing about it” and was “too busy” doing other things.
He added that his sons’ involvement in crypto was separate from government affairs: “They’re running a business, they’re not in government.”
Trump went on to describe Zhao as a “respected” entrepreneur who, he said, had been the “victim of weaponization by government,” referring to the prior administration.
Trump framed his decision as consistent with a broader push to support the U.S. crypto sector, saying his focus was on keeping the country “number one in crypto” amid growing competition from China, Japan, and others.
“I wanna make crypto great for America. That’s the only thing,” Trump said.
Adding a comparison with the U.S.’s position in AI, he said: “The same way we’re number one with AI, we’re number one with crypto. And I wanna keep it that way.”
The exchange was aired as part of a broader interview taped at Trump’s private residence in Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida. It also covered the ongoing government shutdown, immigration raids, and U.S. trade relations, following Trump’s visit to Asia last week.
It was the President’s first appearance on the CBS program since settling a lawsuit with parent company Paramount in July over a 2024 election interview with Kamala Harris, for which he received a $16 million settlement.
The segment marked the first on-record explanation for Zhao’s pardon, which had drawn scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators, given World Liberty Financial’s expanding crypto footprint.
Speculation that President Trump might pardon Zhao first surfaced in December 2024, weeks before he took office, following reports of backchannel lobbying within the digital-asset industry.
Just over a week before the pardon came to fruition, insider claims resurfaced the rumor.
Democrats have criticized the pardon, with some suggesting that Binance “greased the wheels” for Trump’s crypto dealings, citing payments and lobbying activity tied to World Liberty Financial.
Others have moved to tighten ethics rules, including a proposal to bar members of Congress and senior officials from trading or holding digital assets.
A resolution questioning the pardon’s propriety is being led by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff, who called for a congressional review of any connections between Binance and the Trump administration.

When it comes to game releases, November can sometimes be a slow month. When it is, there’s a reason for it: There’s a heavy hitter coming and everyone wants to get out of the way. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 hits this month, which is why September and October were pretty jam-packed this year.
Even so, there’s a bunch of stuff hitting aside from Call of Duty—puzzle games, VR games, racing games, and more. There are also some updated versions of pretty great games coming: Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2 are coming to Nintendo Switch 2, while Fallout 4 is getting an Anniversary Edition, which collects all the DLC and game content into one pack.
Here’s a look at what we’re looking forward to in November.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
Release Date: November 6, 2025Platforms: Nintendo Switch 2
If you dug Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity but wish it had offered a canonical story, you’re going to love Age of Imprisonment. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment offers improved combat and brings in a story that makes it an officially canonical prequel to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Building off of Tears, Age of Imprisonment features battles on the surface and in the Depths, and also features some Zonai devices—though don’t expect the building of Tears here. Age of Imprisonment also has Zelda herself taking the lead, making this a true legend of Zelda.
Lumines Arise
Release Date: November 11, 2025Platforms: PC (Steam), PS5, PS VR2
The music-powered action-puzzler Lumines is back with Lumines Arise, the first totally new entry in 14 years. This game features 35 new levels, 60 training levels, a bunch of new challenges, and leaderboards updated daily—which we’re hoping won’t be hacked and filled with impossible scores immediately.
Lumines has been an addictive game since the first one hit PSP two decades ago, and this one is likely no different. You can also check this one out as a demo on Steam and PS5, and it’s one of the few new games to support PS VR2.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
Release Date: November 13, 2025Platforms: PC (Steam, Battle.net), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
It’s Call of Duty, and that likely tells you everything you need to know before picking this game up. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is the latest in the Black Ops series, and features a new campaign set in the year 2035, acting as a direct sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and bringing back familiar characters. There’s also a zombie mode, of course, and multiplayer now includes two 20v20 “skirmish” maps, alongside 13 new (and three returning) 6v6 maps.
Where Winds Meet
Release Date: November 14, 2025Platforms: PC (Steam/Epic), PS5
Where Winds Meet is a free-to-play action-adventure RPG set in 10th-century China. You’ll take on the role of a young swordmaster who fights in Wuxia style-—that is, to say, a fantastical version of Chinese martial arts most often seen in Chinese Wuxia films. The team advertises over 150 hours of solo gameplay, as well as four-player seamless co-op.
As this is a free-to-play game, it remains to be seen how the monetization aspects of the game affect the gameplay itself. Visually, though, this game looks like a real treat, and free is a good entry price for that.
Marvel’s Deadpool VR
Release Date: November 18, 2025Platforms: Meta Quest 3 / Quest 3S
Ryan Reynolds was busy being Ryan Reynolds, so Neil Patrick Harris steps in to voice the Merc with a Mouth in this superhero VR game. This game is being released exclusively on Meta Quest 3/3S, and features both ranged and melee combat—and, importantly, an utterly shattered fourth wall. Even the advertising for this game has been on-tone for Deadpool, and we’re expecting the game to do the same.
Kirby Air Riders
Release Date: November 20, 2025Platforms: Nintendo Switch 2
The last time we heard about a Kirby racing game was 2003’s Kirby’s Air Ride. Over two decades later, it’s back for more. This game features 20 characters and offers racing, combat, exploration, and field event modes. It’s weird that Nintendo is once again releasing a character-driven racing game just months after Mario Kart World, but we’re not complaining. Air Ride was a blast, and we’re betting Air Riders will be, too.
Terminator 2D: No Fate
Release Date: November 25, 2025Platforms: PC (Steam/Epic), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch/Switch 2
Back in the day, when we had to walk uphill both ways to get to the arcade or video rental store, licensed games were the absolute worst. They barely resembled their cinematic counterparts, not least because they didn’t look that much like them. Games like Jurassic Park would end up making you shoot hundreds of velociraptors, making it hard to feel like you were in the film rather than just a platformer reskinned to look like some things from it.
Terminator 2D: No Fate retains the 16-bit look of so many of those games, but takes you through scenes as the T-800, and Sarah and John Connor, with scenes pulled from the movie. Perhaps most interestingly, though, the game features multiple endings and new “what if” style scenes—like “What if the T-800 had mercilessly gunned down all those police at Cyberdyne HQ?”—and lets you play those out with consequences. This might be what we’d been hoping for back in the 90s: a slick, authentic-feeling licensed game.

Europol said misuse of crypto is “becoming increasingly sophisticated,” straining national police resources.
Experts have called for global standards and unbiased blockchain training to strengthen cross-border investigations.
A recent conference highlighted the need for cooperation between public and private sectors as crypto crime evolves.
The head of Europol’s European Financial and Economic Crime Centre (EFECC), Burkhard Mühl, warned this week that the misuse of crypto and blockchain for criminal purposes is “becoming increasingly sophisticated,” as he pledged continued investment from Europol to support member states in complex and international investigations.
“Investigating these crimes places a significant burden on the law enforcement agencies of EU member states,” he added.
His comments came during the 9th Global Conference on Criminal Finances and Crypto Assets from Oct. 28-29, jointly organised by Europol, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the Basel Institute on Governance, and focused on the evolving ways that crypto assets and blockchain are being misused for crime.
While representing only a small segment of the overall proceeds of financial crime, the Chainalysis 2025 crypto crime report, released in January, gave a lower estimate of $40.9 billion in value received by illicit cryptocurrency addresses in 2024. The figure excludes traditional crimes such as drug trafficking, where crypto is used merely as a payment or laundering tool.
Europol has coordinated several major takedowns this year, including the dismantling of a cybercrime network in Latvia that laundered more than $330,000 through cryptocurrency, a clandestine hawala banking network that laundered over $23 million using crypto, and a “crypto investment fraud ring” that profited almost $540 million from more than 5,000 victims.
Europe has also been hit by a spate of so-called wrench attacks, which involve physical assaults on cryptocurrency holders to compel them to hand over their private keys to their wallets. In particular, France has seen 16 such attacks this year alone, according to a record of “Known Physical Bitcoin Attacks” kept by Jameson Lopp.
The challenges for many police forces in targeting crypto-related crime lie in its global nature, and the need for cross-border cooperation in operations that sometimes can be difficult to bring about. For example, victims of hacks or scams in Europe may be targeted by people running operations out of elsewhere.
Challenges also remain in how law enforcement and the private sector investigate crimes too. Among them, investigators say the lack of harmonized standards remains a serious hurdle. Diana Pătruț, project manager at the Blockchain Intelligence Professionals Association (BIPA), told Decrypt that varying analytics companies often produce inconsistent tracing results, complicating cross-border collaboration.
“Our stakeholders have articulated that different blockchain analytics firms produce different results when tracing transactions. There has also been no standardization for wallet attribution, methodology, training, and formatting, making cross-border investigations especially challenging,” Pătruț said.
“We are really at the beginning of this process and to make any real progress, we need to encourage more dialogue,” she said, “so that we can get stakeholders from both the public and private sectors to come together to develop these standards jointly and, more importantly, to adopt them wholeheartedly.”
Pătruț added that training also remains an area that needs work.
“The biggest issue we see at the moment is that blockchain intelligence training appears to be primarily driven by private sector solutions, and this creates the confirmation bias, herding trainees to specific commercial solutions and methodologies, without necessarily understanding or appreciating their underlying application,” she explained.
Pătruț suggested that there’s a “need for investigators and financial institutions to develop their own critical assessment capabilities,” and specifically called out a “skills gap” in regard to open-source tools and the technology underpinning crypto.
Pătruț also cautioned against oversimplifying what qualifies as a “crypto-related” crime, and comparing the scale of crypto crime compared to traditional financial crime.
“Because there are no universally-accepted definitions when it comes to what constitutes a crypto-related crime, it is hard to determine whether crypto-crime is significantly more widespread when compared to traditional financial crime, and there is a risk of narrative capture, depending on the agenda of those observing the data,” she said.
“It would probably be more helpful to look at financial crime in general, and recognize that crypto-related crime plays a significant and growing role, and one that must continue to be managed, as crypto-assets, stablecoins, and tokenized assets enter the mainstream financial markets.”

Coinbase exceeded Q3 expectations with $1.9 billion in revenue, driven by rebounding trading volumes and profitable services including its Ethereum L2 Base.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF IBIT saw major outflows of $290.8 million on Thursday as Bitcoin dropped below $110,000, though its cumulative inflows remain strong at $88 billion.
REX Shares launched ULTI, a new ETF targeting volatile stocks including crypto companies like Core Scientific and Gemini to generate weekly income from price swings.
Public Keys is a weekly roundup from Decrypt that tracks the key publicly traded crypto companies. This week: Coinbase wallops Q3 estimates, BlackRock’s IBIT sees a sharp pullback, and REX Shares’ new ETF is harvesting crypto stock volatility.
Coinbase’s Volatility Tailwind
Coinbase topped expectations on Thursday with Q3 revenue of approximately $1.9 billion and transaction revenue hitting $1.0 billion. That’s a sharp rebound as spot volumes return to the exchange.
The company also said Q4 is off to a strong start, with October transaction revenue already at $385 million. Beyond trading, Coinbase benefitted from a tailwind thanks to subscription and services: Staking, custodial services, interest. The company also flagged that the Ethereum L2 that it incubated, Base, was profitable.
The company, which trades on the Nasdaq under the COIN ticker, ended Friday having gained 4.65%. But the share price was still 3% lower than it was at the start of the week.
The earnings report reinforces that volatility and volumes—although they can be hell for traders—tend to bolster COIN’s bottom line.
And to supercharge that effect, the company has been focusing on making more and more assets available to investors. The expansion has taken Coinbase from “about 300 to over 40,000 assets in the U.S.” by way of DEX integrations, said CEO Brian Armstrong, who added that the quarter also included the first launch of “CFTC-regulated 24/7 perpetual style futures in the U.S..”
Perps have been all the rage among traders, but some industry experts have raised an eyebrow about how much risk they’re introducing to markets.
IBIT Traders Spooked
Speaking of volatility, institutions yanked funds from Bitcoin ETFs after BTC dove below $110,000 on Thursday.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, accounted for nearly half the Bitcoin ETF category’s outflows on Thursday, when it saw $290.8 million worth of withdrawals on a day when Bitcoin spot ETFs lost $488.4 million.
On Friday, IBIT saw traders sell $149.3 million worth of shares, making up 77% of outflows for the day, according to data from Farside Investors.
But IBIT is still BlackRock’s shining star among its ETF catalog. On a cumulative basis IBIT’s lifetime net inflow remains massive, with more than $88 billion worth of assets under management. One session doesn’t change the structural adoption story—just the week’s P&L.
Another REX Volatility Play
New York-based REX Shares has built its reputation on unconventional ETFs. Its latest offering treats volatility in equities—including crypto companies—like a feature, rather than a bug.
The REX IncomeMax Option Strategy ETF, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ULTI ticker, is an actively managed fund that targets some of the market’s most volatile U.S. stocks. And no surprise, really, that it includes crypto-exposed names like crypto miner Core Scientific, crypto exchange Gemini, and crypto lender Figure.
The portfolio extends beyond crypto too. The fund works by running a dynamic options book with a mix of puts and calls that convert price swings into weekly distributions while attempting to cap tail risk.
For investors who want exposure to the “crypto-beta via equities” trade, but prefer an income overlay, ULTI is a notable entrant—and another sign that Wall Street keeps packaging crypto volatility in different wrappers.
Other Keys
Stop the Core fusion dance: Bitcoin miner Core Scientific’s investors axed the company’s $9 billion merger with AI computing firm CoreWeave.
Remit this: Western Union—yes, the remittance heavyweight—has trademarked WUUSD. But confusingly, it showed up after the company said USDPT would be the ticker for its planned stablecoin. It might just be a flag planted to keep others from using the ticker.

Elon Musk predicted AI and robotics will replace all jobs and create a “universal high-income” society.
He believes future devices will replace phones with AI “edge nodes” and end operating systems and apps.
Musk said Tesla’s Roadster may fly, SpaceX is aiming for full rocket reusability, and Starbase is now a city.
The world’s (occasionally) richest man’s latest appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience had everything: flying cars, AI apocalypse talk, and a side of conspiracy. For three hours, he swung from promising airborne Teslas to alleging that an OpenAI whistleblower was murdered, while insisting he’ll never take his own life and that empathy is overrated.
Musk and Rogan discussed the recent Tucker Carlson conversation with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Musk referred to the death of OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji, and said the case “looks like murder.” He listed details he said appeared suspicious, including cut security camera wires, blood in two rooms, a wig found at the scene, and a food delivery placed shortly before the death.
“He ordered DoorDash right before allegedly committing suicide, which seems unusual,” Musk said. “It’s like, ‘I’m going to order pizza—on second thought, I’ll kill myself.’ That’s a very rapid change in mindset.”
Musk and Altman co-founded OpenAI in 2015, and later separated over its direction. Musk has since launched xAI and filed multiple lawsuits against Altman and OpenAI, alleging the company violated its nonprofit charter through its relationship with Microsoft and sought to steal company data from xAI.
Musk took a moment during the discussion to emphatically say he would never commit suicide. “I am never committing suicide, ever,” he said, adding that if any reports claimed otherwise, they should not be believed.
A flying Tesla?
He also discussed new developments at his companies. Musk said Tesla plans to debut its new Roadster before the end of 2025, and that the vehicle includes “crazy technology.” He said the car could be capable of flight and described it as “crazier than all the James Bond cars combined.”
“My friend Peter Thiel once reflected that the future was supposed to have flying cars, but we don’t have flying cars,” he said. “I think if Peter wants a flying car, we should be able to buy one.”
SpaceX and Starbase
Musk also discussed SpaceX’s Starbase launch site in Texas, which had been incorporated as a city in May, and said the company now delivers about 90 percent of all mass sent from Earth into orbit.
“It’s not that often you hear, ‘Hey, we made a city,’” Musk said. “That used to be, in the old days—a startup would be go and gather a bunch of people and say, ‘Hey, let’s go make a town.’ Literally, that would have been startups in the old days.”
He also said SpaceX aims to achieve full rocket reusability within a year to reduce launch costs by a factor of 100.
AI and the “woke mind virus”
On artificial intelligence, Musk said AI systems must be “truth-seeking” to avoid political bias. He used the phrase “woke mind virus” to describe what he views as ideological influence on some models.
“Let’s say if you told the AI that diversity is the most important thing, and now assume that becomes omnipotent. And you’ve also told her that there’s nothing worse than misgendering. At one point, ChatGPT and Gemini, if you asked which is worse—misgendering Caitlyn Jenner or global thermonuclear war where everyone dies—it would say misgendering Caitlyn Jenner, which even Caitlyn Jenner disagrees with,” Musk said.
He said his company’s chatbot, Grok, treats human life equally and predicted that AI and robotics will eventually replace all jobs, creating what he called a “universal high-income” society in which work becomes optional. Musk said a government-run AI could help manage the U.S. debt and administrative tasks.
Despite his optimistic view on AI, Musk has on different occasions pushed for a pause on AI and superintelligence development.
Buying Twitter
Musk also discussed his purchase of Twitter, now X, in 2022, and the disruption it caused.
“The reason for acquiring Twitter is that it was causing destruction at a civilizational level. I tweeted at the time that it’s Wormtongue for the world—like Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings, where he would whisper terrible things to the king so the king would believe things that weren’t true,” Musk said.
Musk said Twitter had fallen under the control of what he called “the woke mob,” which he claimed was spreading a nihilistic, anti-civilizational “mind virus” across the world.
“You can see the results of that mind virus on the streets of San Francisco, where downtown looks like a zombie apocalypse. It’s bad. We don’t want the whole world to be a zombie apocalypse,” he said. “That was essentially—they were pushing this very negative, nihilistic, untrue worldview on the world, and it was causing a lot of damage.”
XChat and the future of AI
Musk mentioned a forthcoming encrypted messaging feature called XChat, which he said uses peer-to-peer encryption and is designed to be a standalone app that he will “hopefully release in a few months.”
“Our goal with XChat is to replace what used to be the Twitter DM stack with a fully encrypted system where you can text, send files, and do audio, video calls,” he said.”I would call it the least insecure of any messaging system.”
Looking to the future, Musk said he believes traditional smartphones will disappear, replaced by “edge node” devices that act as interfaces for AI systems communicating between local hardware and cloud servers, generating real-time video and music, and eliminating the need for operating systems or apps.
“You’ll get everything through AI. Whatever you can think of, or whatever the AI can anticipate you might want, it’ll show you. That’s my prediction for where things end up,” he said. “It’s probably five or six years or something like that. Pretty much everything will run through AI. Most of what people consume in five or six years, maybe sooner, will be AI-generated content—music, videos.”

A weekly AI journey narrated by Gen, a generative AI model.
South Korea moves fast. Innovation is a habit here, not a trend. Every industry, from semiconductors to mobile devices, grew because people here value speed, precision, and practicality. Now AI is becoming the next major wave, and the demand for reliable GPU infrastructure is rising across Seoul, Pangyo, Daejeon, and Busan.
But the AI world today is running into a simple problem. Big cloud providers are powerful but heavy, expensive, and slow to navigate. Smaller GPU clouds are cheaper but often unstable. For a country that cares about efficiency, this gap is frustrating.
The new generation of GPU cloud providers is trying to solve this. They focus on speed, simplicity, transparent pricing, and real performance. This guide looks at the top options available in South Korea in 2025 and helps teams decide which provider makes sense for their training, inference, and research workloads.
Below is a comprehensive, detailed breakdown of the Top 10 GPU Cloud Platforms, starting with Spheron AI.
1. Spheron AI (Ranked #1)
Spheron AI is built for teams that want simple access to high-performance GPUs without going through enterprise-style complexity. It delivers fast provisioning, cost-efficient instances, and a unified multi-cloud GPU network across global and regional providers.
Teams in South Korea can use Spheron AI to spin up top-tier GPUs like NVIDIA H100, A100, L40S, A6000, and even Blackwell-class hardware as soon as they become available. The platform focuses on three things: speed, cost efficiency, and reliability.
Why Spheron AI is strong for Korean developers
Spheron AI aggregates bare-metal GPU capacity from multiple providers and exposes it through a single console. You get full VM access, root control, and pay-as-you-go billing without the virtualization tax. That makes it easy to run training and inference with high throughput and lower cost per hour than many hyperscalers. Spheron is a strong choice when you need consistent performance, simple pricing, and the ability to tune drivers and kernels yourself.
Developers like it because the setup takes minutes. MLOps teams like it because the environment is stable. Finance teams like it because the pricing is clean.
