BitGo, a leading digital asset infrastructure provider, has integrated Bitcoin Lightning Network access directly into its qualified custody platform, becoming one of the first to enable institutional Lightning payments without compromising security standards. Partnering with Voltage, the service allows clients to conduct faster, lower-cost Bitcoin transactions via simple APIs for wallet creation, payments, invoicing, and tracking, while BitGo manages nodes, channels, liquidity, and keys. This eliminates operational burdens for enterprises, building on prior self-custody solutions and aligning with federal trust bank approvals that boost regulatory clarity and confidence. As Lightning capacity reaches a record 5,637 BTC amid institutional inflows, the innovation signals growing mainstream potential for efficient Bitcoin use. "By offering institutional access to Lightning directly from custody, we are allowing our clients to focus on innovation instead of infrastructure," said Mike Belshe, BitGo CEO, "We are combining the speed and lower transaction costs of Lightning with the trusted security of BitGo to make bitcoin practical for everyday payments."

OpenAI has unveiled GPT Image 1.5, a native multimodal image generation model that enables conversational editing of photographs through simple text prompts, marking a significant advancement in accessible visual manipulation. According to Ars Technica's Benj Edwards, the tool generates images up to four times faster than predecessors while preserving facial likeness and details across iterations. It allows users to alter poses, remove objects, adjust clothing, or refine scenes, responding to competition from Google's popular Nano Banana models. "We believe we’re still at the beginning of what image generation can enable," OpenAI stated in its announcement. This innovation democratizes high-fidelity editing, empowering creative expression and professional workflows with greater precision and speed, though it raises questions about authenticating visual media in an era of effortless alteration. Safeguards like metadata tagging offer potential steps towards responsible use.

In a recent Bankless podcast episode, Threadguy, a prominent voice in the digital asset industry born in 2002, discussed how Gen Z's upbringing in online resale cultures, from sneaker flipping to NFTs and memecoins, has primed a generation for permissionless internet markets. He entered the space in 2020 via Top Shot trading, drawn by cultural speculation rather than early decentralization ideals. Threadguy argued that COVID accelerated this shift, fostering familiarity with niche, out-of-system income streams in Discord and Twitter communities. "My generation... grows up in a world where it is standard to make money out of the system in weird niche ways," he said. Surprisingly, he views trading as evolving into entertainment finance, with risk-takers as new cultural heroes in an open, global capital arena. He predicts token launches replacing traditional IPOs, positioning digital assets as a frontier for entrepreneurial freedom and investment spectacle. "Nobody will go public in 10 years, they will just launch a token," he noted, painting an optimistic, but strange financial future.

A growing body of evidence reveals strong links between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and circadian rhythm disruptions, affecting up to 78 percent of individuals with delayed sleep-wake cycles and 80 percent experiencing insomnia. In a new perspective published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, physician Brandon Luu synthesizes data showing delayed dim-light melatonin onset by 90 minutes in adults and 45 minutes in children with ADHD, alongside blunted cortisol rhythms and smaller pineal glands. Interventions like morning bright light therapy using 10,000 lux lamps advanced circadian phases and correlated with reduced ADHD symptoms, particularly hyperactivity-impulsivity. Low-dose melatonin (0.5 mg) advanced phases by 88 minutes and cut symptoms by 14 percent in adults. Combined approaches and behavioral strategies offer accessible, low-risk paths to better alignment, empowering individuals toward sharper focus, improved mood, and improved daily functioning as research advances these adjuncts.
