What’s New Today: Microsoft’s licence to ship around 60,000 chips, including the most advanced GB300 Grace Blackwell chips, to the UAE got approved this September.

Here’s a quick rundown of the biggest tech headlines making waves today. Let's dive into the top tech stories, from NVIDIA Chip transports to Bitcoin price.
Microsoft intends to transport more than 60,000 units of Nvidia’s new AI processors, including GB300 Grace Blackwell units, to the United Arab Emirates. This shipment promotes Microsoft’s investment of $7.9 billion on UAE data-centres and cloud computing services over the next four years. Additionally, it also has a connection with Donald Trump’s announcement that these specific chips were not going to China, and that the US government was changing its export policy.
The cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is in negotiations to acquire the London-based fintech firm BVNK at a valuation of about $2 billion. Coinbase is developing payment infrastructure outside of cryptocurrency trading. BVNK transfers institutional funds around the world using dollar-backed stablecoins. This has been implemented as a more efficient method than using Blockchain with regard to compliance because offerings and standards of financial oversight are still in a developmental stage related to the use of Blockchain. This acquisition also appears to align with the emerging regulatory framework for the US stablecoin regulation under the GENIUS Act.

Despite high hopes, AI-driven agents that are supposed to do freelance work, face key limitations. In one study, they earned under 3 % of the available $143,991 in value of jobs, earning only $1,810. In particular, AI agents struggle with long and multi-step tasks, vague client instructions, and environments with real external tools (such as login problems and CAPTCHA). Furthermore, they lack accountability for real and original quality. Freelance platforms currently allow for AI use only under human supervision. This illustrates that AI agents are only assistants, not freelancers.
In early Asian trading, the value of Bitcoin fell approximately 2%, dipping below $107,000, as the selling momentum from October's steep price decline persisted into November. On-chain data indicates the institutional accumulation has dipped below new coin issuance for the first time in seven months, indicating large players have stepped back from accumulating. Risk-off sentiment continues and questions around potential Federal Reserve policy weigh macro uncertainty, and any recovery will be dictated by ETF flows and broader investor positioning.
