tanit boonruen Payward, the parent of crypto exchange Kraken ( KRAKEN ), agreed to acquire Reap Technologies Holdings, a stablecoin-native, card-issuing, and payments infrastructure company, for $600M, the company said Thursday. The acquisition will expand Payward Services, the company's business-to-business, or B2B, infrastructure platform, providing a globally regulated infrastructure for card issuance and stablecoin payments. Payward Services provides to its customers a single integration point for the infrastructure they need to build 24/7 financial products — covering crypto trading, custody, tokenized assets, on/off-ramps, and derivatives. Reap extends that platform into the global cards and payments space. Payward's partners will be able to embed card issuance, cross-border payments, and stablecoin treasury services alongside Payward's existing capabilities without assembling multiple vendors or managing fragmented infrastructure, it said. "Reap is the payments layer for what comes next. Card networks, banking rails, and blockchains on a single API, settling in stablecoins," said Payward Co-CEO Arjun Sethi. The transaction follows Payward's acquisitions of NinjaTrader, Bitnomial, and Backed and continues its strategy of expanding the platform through capability-focused transactions, it added.

MDoculus Alphabet's ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) Google has launched Fitbit Air, a screenless health and fitness tracker powered by AI at $99.99. Google said Fitbit Air is designed to unlock the full power of the Google Health Coach — which is built on the company's Gemini AI models. The tech giant noted that Fitbit Air Fitbit Air is its smallest tracker yet — which uses high-fidelity sensor technology in a tiny pebble that enables advanced health and fitness tracking such as 24/7 heart rate, heart rhythm monitoring with atrial fibrillation alerts, SpO2, or blood oxygen levels, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep stages and duration. The band has up to a week of battery life, and fast charging gives you a full day of power in just five minutes. The tracking pebble is removable and can be used with different colors of bands the company is offering. Google said that co-designed with Stephen Curry, the Fitbit Air Special Edition Performance Loop band comes in a rye brown and a pop of game-day orange. Last month, Curry, an NBA player for the Golden State Warriors, had teased the device on social media without elaborating on the branding or functionality. The company said that Fitbit Air is compatible with Android and iOS and available for pre-order, starting today for $99.99. It includes a three-month trial of Google Health Premium, giving full access to Google Health Coach right out of the box. The Google Fitbit Air Special Edition will also be available for pre-order today, and on-shelf in the U.S. May 26 for $129.99. Accessory bands are available for pre-order starting at $34.99. Built with Gemini, Google Health Coach gives personalized insights and acts as a fitness coach, sleep expert, and health and wellness advisor. Google launched Public Preview last year, and starting May 19, Health Coach will exit preview and become available globally as part of the Google Health Premium subscription, according to the company. Meanwhile, some wearable makers like Apple ( A...

非洲首富 阿里 科·丹格特正筹划将其水泥帝国在伦敦证券交易所上市，这将是这家非洲最大水泥企业多年国际化战略的重要一步。 丹格特水泥公司是非洲大陆最大的水泥生产商，年产能达5200万吨，业务遍及尼日利亚、喀麦隆、埃塞俄比亚、南非等10个非洲国家。该公司已在尼日利亚证券交易所上市，市值约13.43万亿奈拉(按当前约1美元兑1370奈拉的汇率计算约合98亿美元)。 消息人士透露，丹格特已与美银美林等投行就伦敦上市事宜展开接洽。此前，丹格特水泥曾于2018年考虑伦敦IPO，但未能成行。该公司近年来通过发行商业票据和债券筹集资金用于扩张，并计划投资10亿美元在2030年前将产能提升45%至8000万吨。 分析人士指出，伦敦上市将有助于丹格特水泥拓宽投资者基础，为其泛非扩张计划提供更充足的资金支持。丹格特本人于2025年卸任公司董事长，但仍是这家水泥帝国的核心控制人。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

克利夫兰联储行长贝丝·哈马克表示，政策制定者的会后声明中暗示美联储下一步行动将是降息的措辞与她的预期不符。 “我们发布的声明是利率维持不变，但其中传递出下一步更可能是降息的信号，”哈马克周四接受WOSU公共电台采访时表示。“鉴于我对当前经济状况的看法，我认为这有些误导。” 克利夫兰联储行长贝丝·哈马克 她补充称，她的基准预期是“利率将在相当长一段时间内维持不变”。 哈马克是上周政策会议中三位持异议的官员之一，这些官员不认同暗示央行可能恢复降息的措辞。 这位克利夫兰联储行长周四重申，她支持维持利率不变，但认为经济前景和未来政策路径面临的不确定性上升。她表示，关键要看伊朗战争会持续多久，并指出价格上涨可能影响支出和增长。 责任编辑：丁文武

US President Donald Trump delivers remarks on 'Trump Accounts' at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, DC, on Jan. 28, 2026. Brendan Smialowski | AFP | Getty Images With less than two months until the official launch of Trump Accounts , there are reports that business leaders and philanthropists may, at some point, be able to donate stock to fund grants into the new tax-deferred investing accounts for children . "We all want to maximize more multi-billion gifts into kids accts & the gifts may be cash / shares!" Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner, who helped spearhead the Trump administration's new savings initiative , wrote in a post on X on Wednesday. Gerstner's post came in response to a DealBook report from Wednesday, which said that there have been talks about changing the rules to allow for direct stock donations. CNBC was not able to independently verify the DealBook report, which did not disclose its sources. Dealbook reported that White House and Treasury Department officials discussed potentially expanding funding for Trump Accounts to accommodate stock donations. "The Trump administration is always open to finding new ways to build on the immense success of Trump Accounts and help the next generation of American children build wealth," a White House official said in an email in response to CNBC's query about direct stock investment. "There are, however, no new updates to share at this time."

上周美国首次申领失业救济人数温和回升，但整体裁员规模仍处于低位，凸显就业市场韧性稳固，也进一步巩固了金融市场的预期： 美联储今年不会降息 。 美国劳工部周四公布每周初请失业金数据，这是反映经济景气度最及时的指标。数据显示，尽管美伊冲突引发油价冲击，但就业市场 尚未显现明显承压迹象 。 4 月末领取失业救济金的续请人数有所下降，不过这一回落部分源于部分申领者 救济期限用尽 —— 美国多数州失业救济金最长仅可领取 26 周。 当前裁员潮整体低迷，成为就业市场稳定的核心支撑。但受霍尔木兹海峡石油运输受阻影响，经济学家仍对后续下行风险保持警惕。 金融研究机构 FWDBONDS 首席经济学家克里斯托弗・鲁普基表示： “美联储去年降息，是出于对失业攀升、失业率走高的担忧。但目前就业市场稳如磐石， 完全没有任何降息的理由 。” 劳工部数据显示，截至 5 月 2 日当周，经季节性调整后 首次失业救济申领人数增加 1 万人，至 20 万人 。 路透社调查经济学家此前预期为 20.5 万人。此次回升，部分回吐了前一周的降幅；前一周申领人数一度跌至 1969 年以来最低水平。 美国政府周二公布数据显示，3 月 每 1 名失业者对应 0.95 个职位空缺 ，2 月为 0.91，进一步印证就业市场平稳格局。 尽管多家大型科技公司因 人工智能替代部分岗位 频频发布裁员公告，但今年初请失业金人数始终 低于 23 万人 关口。 经济学家分析认为，被裁科技员工大多能拿到 优厚离职补偿金 ，暂时无需申请失业救济。 全球职业转型咨询机构 Challenger， Gray & Christmas 周四发布报告： 美国雇主 4 月宣布裁员 83387 人 ，较 3 月环比上升 38%，但同比去年仍下降 21%。 裁员整体趋势持续走低 今年截至目前，美国企业累计官宣裁员 300749 人 ，较 2025 年同期 锐减 50% 。 裁员主力集中在科技行业， 人工智能 常被列为裁员主因。 美联储上周出于通胀顾虑，维持基准利率在 3.50%–3.75% 区间不变。金融市场普遍预期，美联储将 维持利率不变直至 2027 年 。 责任编辑：郭明煜
