The 119th U.S. Congressional session has begun, and the digital asset sector is hoping there will soon be favorable and clear regulatory guardrails for cryptocurrency markets and stablecoins. During his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump pledged to transform the United States into the “crypto capital of the planet,” and, per the nonprofit industry group Stand With Crypto, the 2024 elections saw 250 “pro-crypto” members of Congress elected along with 16 “pro-crypto” senators. While the stage appears to be set for a sea of regulatory change, with crypto proponents set to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Commerce and more, one fundamental gap remains: actual policy being drafted, sponsored and referred to the relevant House or Senate committee

These collaborations, highlighted on stage at FIL Brussels alongside EthCC, underscore the Filecoin network's pivotal role as the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) backbone for advancements in AI.The AI industry is facing a critical juncture as more organizations shift toward closed and opaque training models, raising concerns about power concentration, creating information silos and centralized control that expose data to vulnerabilities. The lack of transparency in these systems obscures crucial aspects of AI development, including details on data sources and training methodologies.The Filecoin network offers an alternative to centralized models by enabling decentralization and transparency, addressing the pressing need for open AI systems and promoting the resilience of digital infrastructure.The latest announcements from the ecosystem highlight the diverse applications of Filecoin for AI. From decentralized storage integrations to open humanities datasets to make Filecoin data more accessible and usable, and comprehensive solutions for storing and processing machine learning (ML) workloads, Filecoin has emerged as the DePIN primitive for the AI wave.Secure Data Provenance and Verifiable Model TrainingSingularityNET , a leading AI platform developer, and Filecoin Foundation are collaborating to store SingularityNET metadata on the Filecoin network via Lighthouse, a data onboarding solution.

The Filecoin Foundation has successfully executed a groundbreaking mission, sending its digital asset’s whitepaper and an image of its mascot, affectionately known as “Biscuit, the FileCorgi,” into orbit and back to Earth using the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).As outlined in a Jan. 16 statement, this achievement exemplifies the potential of decentralized technologies in space facilitated by Lockheed Martin-developed software.The mission showcased the capabilities of IPFS, a decentralized content distribution system, in enhancing communications across vast distances and bolstering resilience in challenging space environments.The Filecoin Foundation highlighted several key advantages of leveraging IPFS for space communication, including accelerated data transmission, robust data verification, and heightened resilience.One notable feature of IPFS is its ability to eliminate the need for data to traverse back and forth from Earth with every interaction. Unlike traditional systems, IPFS identifies data based on its content rather than its location, assigning a unique “content ID” to each piece of content.Consequently, contents are retrieved from the closest available source, streamlining the process and avoiding unnecessary back-and-forth travel between Earth and space.Marta Belcher, the president and chair of the Filecoin Foundation, said:“IPFS is called the ‘interplanetary’ file system because, from the beginning, IPFS was envisioned as a technology that could enable networking in space.”Meanwhile, this successful demonstration is the culmination of nearly three years of collaborative efforts between the Filecoin Foundation and Lockheed Martin Space. The partnership, initially announced in Davos in May 2022, progressed to the unveiling of mission details in Davos in January 2023.FIL down 2%News of the recent development did not positively impact Filecoin’s native FIL token, which was down 2% during the past day to $5.79079 as of press time.The digital asset has faced considerable price struggles after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) labeled it a security in May 2023—a classification vehemently rejected by the Foundation.Data from Tradingview showed that the price struggles have extended into the new year, with its value down 16% on the year-to-date metric
