For AstraZeneca, a series of AI-based partnerships and screening initiatives is setting the stage to gather and use data for cancer patients in neglected ZIP codes.<br>As it stands, innovation is outpacing health equity, widening the gap in oncology between patients who have access to novel medicines and those who do not, said AstraZeneca’s senior vice president and head of U.S. oncology Mohit Manrao.<br>Black Americans have <a href="https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/understanding/disparities">higher death rates</a> than any other racial group for many cancer types, according to the NIH’s National Cancer Institute. Furthermore, people without access to healthcare are more likely to be diagnosed later in their disease trajectory, putting them at greater risk of death.<br>“Science is moving so fast, but the job isn’t done after that,” Manrao said. “The challenge we have at a local level is that disparities are increasing, and more and more people fall through the cracks. Everyone in the system has good intent, but it’s important that as an industry, we embrace opportunities and collaborate to solve for it.”<br>AI is one of the most promising opportunities for improved health equity, Manrao said. By teaming up with diagnostic makers and AI companies, AstraZeneca wants to use data to expose the disparities in care, and address screening and access issues that exacerbate them. Manrao said AstraZeneca’s mission goes beyond developing oncology meds like the blockbuster Enhertu, which was originally approved for breast cancer in 2019 and <a href="https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2024/fda-enhertu-her2-positive-solid-tumors">recently scored a new expanded indication</a>, and AI can find patients who need it.<br>"The secret sauce for us, and it’s not truly secret, is external collaboration. What stands out for us and for anybody who wants to move the needle for patients is that we can’t work in silos."<br>Mohit Manrao<br>Head of U.S. oncology, AstraZeneca<br>“There is no reason that a Black woman with breast cancer in New York should have different outcomes than a white woman living in California or Atlanta — the ZIP code lottery exists today,” Manrao said.<br>Here, Manrao discusses the effect data-driven AI can have on the understanding and mitigating disparities in cancer care, the partnerships AstraZeneca has sought to bring AI into the fold, and how the feedback loop will also help drive better R&amp;D for more equitable outcomes down the road.<br><em>This interview has been edited for brevity and style.</em><br><strong>MOHIT MANRAO:</strong> Availability of data has multiplied in a multitude of ways, both in terms of genomic data and multi-omics data at a patient level and a customer engagement level.  Similarly, science, technology and data are converging very quickly, and that helps us believe we can have an impact on patients at every level. From a health equity lens, beyond our bread and butter in biopharmaceutical innovation, we want to start looking at the entire patient pathway and ask new questions. Are patients getting screened? What are the risk factors? Are they going to screening centers? Are they followed up appropriately in the system at the right intervals to be detected early?<br>Because of the socio-economic determinants of health, we need to have individualized interventions to solve for specific barriers that get in the way of a specific patient.<br>It’s a super important point. Being aware of bias that would get into a system and putting checks and balances around it can help us look at health equity. Across the pharmaceutical value chain, it starts with inclusive R&amp;D. We have drugs that get developed based on biosamples, and we’re working on creating diverse biosamples that are representative of the populations we serve. Of course, we can’t do that alone. So working at a local grassroots and community level to bring those diverse biosamples into drug development helps ensure that patient recruitment meets those goals. <br>For instance, at a clinical trial centered in a community in New Jersey that is 18% Black, we work with them to ensure that not only 18% is recruited from that community, but more so that we can help dig and gather data. And all this serves to help AI predict without bias.<br>When ChatGPT came out, it exploded into the world in a visible way, but we have been using AI in different parts of the value chain already. We have more than 700 data scientists who are AI experts working in different parts of our organization from early drug discovery to development to commercial organizations and operations. We’ve embedded them to think in terms of looking for partnerships — we can’t move forward alone. So looking at the right partners with the capabilities, values and vision in terms of transforming cancer care is very critical. For example, in early detection, there are a multitude of challenges. If we see that tissue-based screening is a challenge, we work with blood-based companies to look at how we can help improve their assay. That led us to <a href="https://grail.com/press-releases/grail-announces-strategic-collaboration-with-astrazeneca-to-develop-companion-diagnostic-tests-to-enable-the-treatment-of-early-stage-cancer/">work with Grail</a> in that space. <br><a href="http://qure.ai">Companies like Qure.ai</a> can use technology to find lung nodules on X-rays that a naked eye couldn’t see, and <a href="https://www.clinithink.com/news/clinithink-and-astrazeneca-launch-first-of-its-kind-ai-project-aimed-at-detecting-early-stage-lung-cancer#:~:text=Clinithink%2C%20the%20company%20that%20has,treatment%20can%20be%20more%20effective.">companies like Clinithink</a> have natural language processing that can go into electronic medical records. These are all important steps.<br>At the same time, let’s take the example of lung cancer — screening has been approved in the U.S. since 2013 and even a decade later, the uptake is dismal at only 5% to 6%. Socio-economic determinants are a barrier to lung cancer screening, and we’ve worked with the Association of Cancer Care Centers to understand and work with local communities, and use that rich data to inform where the pockets are, such as a <a href="https://www.accc-cancer.org/projects/appalachian-community-cancer-alliance/appalachian-community-cancer-alliance">rural Appalachian screening program</a> for lung cancer in Kentucky. <br>Similarly, we just announced a partnership with the University of Maryland system across counties in the state to identify at-risk populations. These academic and community institutes play a big part in the data-gathering process.<br>It’s critical that we put patients at the heart of drug discovery and development. All this data, in many ways, unlocks opportunities to uncover true unmet needs for patients, and the bigger picture is we want to eliminate cancer as a cause of death. Understanding through these datasets why the disease is progressing and informing R&amp;D by identifying patients earlier. The partnership with Grail, for instance, helps us not only identify patients but also to look at the data and [see] which patients within this group are high-risk and the kinds of interventions they need. So this is integrated across the internal value chain.<br>The secret sauce for us, and it’s not truly secret, is external collaboration. We don’t shy away from partnering with the right party. What stands out for us and for anybody who wants to move the needle for patients is that we can’t work in silos.<br>Get the free daily newsletter read by industry leaders<br>As another J&amp;J department bites the dust, leadership is focused on what&rsquo;s working in the pharma business, and there&rsquo;s plenty to see.<br>Keep up with the story.

Ripple Labs is leading a $1 billion SPAC initiative. This entity will establish the world’s largest XRP digital asset treasury.
Ripple Labs is leading a massive fundraising initiative of at least $1 billion. The project aims to establish a powerful new digital asset treasury. This new large entity will be very interested in accumulating a large amount of XRP. The required capital will be raised by the SPAC mechanism. Further, Ripple will donate its XRP to the treasury. This move helps match corporate capital with growth in assets.
Bitcoin and Ether have been the big winners of the crypto market story this year. A strong stimulus to this particular orientation has been the dissemination of standards and practices in institutional adoption. However, XRP has had far less success in taking hold of the treasury of other digital assets (DATs) as a base asset. This major funding push aims at radically altering that market narrative. Ultimately, this campaign will help XRP to immediately enter the corporate mainstream.
Related Reading: Gumi Expands Digital Asset Treasury with Bitcoin and XRP | Live Bitcoin News
If this plan works out, the new entity would be the largest DAT devoted to XRP in the world. Trident Digital, the Singapore-based startup, with similar plans, was announced earlier. Trident has a goal of funding an XRP treasury with $500 million. Other large companies have followed suit with much smaller purses. However, none compares to the sheer scale that Ripple has imagined for the new treasury.
This ambitious venture could make XRP one of the first altcoins to find its way onto corporate treasuries’ white list. The effort comes at a time when there is market discussion on the stability of digital asset treasuries. Moreover, shares in crypto-heavy companies have recently moved into the red on sector volatility. To take one example, Michael Saylor’s Strategy shares have been weak recently. This background adds to the potential danger.
Japanese company Metaplanet has also seen its share price swing as of late. Yet, Ripple planned expansion is a manifestation of its firm belief in its asset. The company is not at all affected by the short-term ups and downs in the market. As a result of this, the company feels that its asset is long-term value. This firm conviction stems from high confidence in XRP’s future utility.
The funds will come from a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC). This way of raising capital makes the process very fast. Furthermore, Ripple is donating some of its already existing corporate XRP to the treasury. This type of dual funding means that substantial capital is available at the start. An optimal structure that struck an effective balance between liquidity and strategic control.
If the plan is successful, it will instantly make Ripple the largest institutional holder of XRP. This move could be a major change in the way digital assets are utilized globally. Specifically, it affects their role as strategic corporate reserves. Therefore, this project can cause a strong new precedent for the institutionalization of altcoins. The development will be followed closely by the global market.
XRP has typically been less on institutional radar than other large coins. However, it goes to show that there has been a strong push to regain narrative momentum after a $1 billion target. The project brings the asset in sync with the conventional high-finance models. Ultimately, Ripple hopes to build a highly regulated and robust institutional product. This practice represents long-term commitment and stability.
Indeed, this move is a powerful counter-narrative to recent market pessimism. It is an indication that large players have an appetite for non-Bitcoin digital assets. As a result, the success of this DAT would open up vast institutional capital flow. Finally, this funding initiative is aimed at establishing XRP’s position in the future of corporate finance on a global scale.

San Francisco-headquartered enterprise blockchain company Ripple is raising $1 billion via a special acquisition company (SPAC) in order to set up an XRP treasury, Bloomberg reports. 
As part of the effort, Ripple will contribute some of its own tokens. 
Will XRP price surge? 
Ripple is definitely on a roll right now, given that the Bloomberg report comes shortly after the company announced that it had agreed to acquire treasury management company GTreasury for $1 billion. 
The bullish news, however, has had virtually no impact on the XRP price, which is down by nearly 3% over the past 24 hours. 
As noted by analyst Bill Morgan, Ripple announcements rarely have an immediate or short-term impact on the price of the token, especially when it is not immediately obvious how they will affect XRP. 
Too late to the party? 
Ripple's entry into the digital asset treasury (DAT) space comes at a time when the euphoria surrounding this business model, pioneered by Strategy's Michael Saylor, has already peaked.
Even permabull Tom Lee, who rose to prominence after spearheading BitMine's transformation into an Ethereum treasury firm earlier this year, recently admitted that the bubble has seemingly burst. 
In a stunning reversal, many DAT firms, including such prominent names as Metaplanet, are now trading below their net asset value.
Other XRP treasury players 
Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP has attracted relatively little attention from DAT firms. 
However, there are still several names that have adopted the token as a treasury asset. These include VivoPower International, Webus International, Wellgistics Health, Trident Digital Tech, and some other minor players. 
As reported by U.Today, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley previously predicted that Ripple could be viewed as an XRP treasury company.

Q3 2025 Cryptocurrency Industry Report  富途牛牛

What is Florida’s House Bill 183 and its Objectives?
Florida’s House Bill 183 is a significant piece of legislation that aims to introduce Bitcoin into the financial strategies of the state. Sponsored by Representative Webster Barnaby, this bill seeks to allocate up to 10% of public funds to Bitcoin and other digital assets like ETFs and tokenized securities. Its purpose is to help diversify state investments and possibly position Bitcoin as a safeguard against inflation.
The bill’s objectives go beyond simple investment. It proposes that residents be allowed to pay certain taxes and fees using Bitcoin. This move not only embraces digital assets but also represents a shift to a more contemporary financial paradigm. According to estimates, the bill could potentially enhance market liquidity by about $1.8 billion, thereby strengthening Florida’s cryptocurrency ecosystem.
How Could Bitcoin Serve as a Hedge Against Inflation?
Bitcoin’s unique features may make it an effective hedge against inflation. With a supply capped at 21 million coins, Bitcoin is inherently resistant to inflationary forces that often affect fiat currencies. Unlike traditional currencies, which can be printed at will, Bitcoin’s scarcity is embedded in its design, making it less prone to value depreciation.
Bitcoin’s decentralized nature adds another layer of protection, as it operates outside of government influence, making it less vulnerable to inflationary policies. Historical evidence suggests that Bitcoin has maintained or increased its value during inflationary periods, highlighting its potential as a store of value. Still, while Bitcoin’s fixed supply and independence from government control suggest it could be an effective hedge against inflation, its high volatility presents major risks, especially for public funds that require stable returns.
What Are the Risks of Allocating Public Funds to Bitcoin?
Allocating public funds to Bitcoin is not without its risks. The most apparent issue is volatility. Bitcoin has been known for its wild price swings, which can lead to significant losses for public funds. Even though some studies suggest Bitcoin’s volatility has lessened over time, it remains much more erratic than traditional assets like the S&P 500. Such volatility could pose risks to financial stability, particularly if public funds are exposed to abrupt price declines.
There are also regulatory compliance challenges. Public funds investing in Bitcoin must navigate complex and evolving regulatory frameworks focused on anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) protocols. The informal governance structures of many crypto projects add to the compliance burden. Lawmakers have raised alarms about potential fraud and operational failures in the absence of regulatory oversight, making it essential to develop strong risk management frameworks to protect public assets.
How Might Florida’s Strategy Influence Crypto Payroll Integration in Europe?
Florida’s strategy for Bitcoin investment could have significant implications for crypto payroll integration, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe. The increasing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrencies, coupled with Florida’s initiative, may encourage European SMEs to explore crypto payroll systems. This could lead to more efficient cross-border payments and less reliance on traditional banking systems.
Nonetheless, challenges persist. Price volatility, regulatory complexities, and operational risks are potential stumbling blocks to widespread adoption. Florida’s approach could help create a more favorable global regulatory environment, potentially alleviating some of these complications. If the strategy is successful, it could serve as a template for other regions, facilitating the integration of cryptocurrencies into daily financial transactions.
What Lessons Can Asian Fintech Startups Learn from Florida’s Approach?
Asian fintech startups can extract important lessons from Florida’s responsible yet forward-thinking strategy to integrate Bitcoin into public finance. Key takeaways include the following:
Regulatory Clarity and Compliance: Florida’s bill outlines a clear framework for digital asset investments, which is crucial for managing legal and operational risks. Startups in Asia should advocate for similar regulatory clarity to navigate the varying regulatory landscapes.
Phased Investment Strategies: The decision to cap Bitcoin investments at 10% reflects a cautious approach to risk. Asian startups can implement gradual accumulation strategies to achieve a balance between potential upside and volatility risks, thereby preserving shareholder value.
Institutional Collaboration: Florida’s use of regulated custodians and exchange-traded products enhances security and trust. Asian fintech companies should seek partnerships with regulated entities to ensure compliance and bolster stakeholder confidence.
Dynamic Liquidity Management: By incorporating measures to convert Bitcoin payments into stablecoins or fiat currencies, the state can mitigate volatility impacts on payroll and operations. This approach aligns with aims to maintain market stability and access.
Innovation and Strategic Positioning: Florida’s initiative positions the state at the forefront of public sector crypto adoption. Asian fintech startups can use digital assets strategically, differentiating themselves and capturing institutional interest.
In essence, Florida’s legislative initiative offers a blueprint for the integration of Bitcoin into public finance, emphasizing clarity, risk management, and strategic innovation. Asian fintech startups can adapt these lessons to fit their unique regulatory and market environments, effectively incorporating Bitcoin into their financial strategies.

Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao responded to Peter Schiff’s prediction of a brutal Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) bear market on Thursday, highlighting the leading cryptocurrency’s historical outperformance against gold.
Zhao sarcastically admitted that Bitcoiners “should have listened” to Schiff’s forecast now that BTC has plunged 32% against gold since its August peak. He did, however, point out that the two-month period represents only 1% of BTC’s 16-year existence.
“I am sure Bitcoin fluctuated negatively against gold more than that, except BTC went from $0.004 to $110,000 in 16 years,” the cryptocurrency mogul countered.
See Also: Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predictions: 2025, 2026, 2030
Zhao’s argument had merit. While BTC has fallen 32% against gold in the last two months, longer timeframes suggested a different story.
Over the last five years, BTC has jumped 317% against the yellow metal. Similarly, it has increased by 8673% over a 10-year timeframe.
Schiff has stepped up the attack against BTC amid gold’s record-breaking run, questioning the "Digital Gold" narrative touted by a big section of Bitcoiners. While gold reached fresh highs at $4,370 per troy ounce, BTC fell further to $107,000 on Thursday.
He predicted a “brutal” bear market for the asset and urged its holders to sell it for gold to avoid “going broke.”
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $109,016.76, down 2.30% over the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Year-to-date, the asset has gained 15%.
Spot gold was up 0.86% to $4,363.65 per ounce, having jumped over 60% this year.
