Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…

Bitcoin Exchange Balance Drops To Six-Year Low Amid Shortage

Bitcoin Exchange Balance Drops To Six-Year Low Amid Shortage

The post Bitcoin Exchange Balance Drops To Six-Year Low Amid Shortage appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The amount of Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges plunged to a six-year low as the asset climbed to a new all-time high. Bitcoin notched a new all-time high on Sunday morning, reaching a little over $125,700 on Coinbase, according to Tradingview. Its previous peak was $124,500 on Coinbase on Aug. 14. Bitcoin (BTC) pulled back by 13.5% by Sept. 1 but has recovered strongly over the past week as “Uptober” began.    “Bitcoin hits new all-time high … And most people still don’t even know what Bitcoin is,” commented Nova Dius President Nate Geraci. “If Bitcoin is able to convincingly break $126,500, then chances are price will go a lot higher and quickly,” said analyst Rekt Capital on Saturday, before the latest price peak. BTC prices reach a new peak above $125,000. Source: Tradingview Exchange balances drop to six-year low The total Bitcoin balance on centralized exchanges fell to a six-year low of 2.83 million BTC on Saturday, according to Glassnode. The last time that there were fewer coins stored on exchanges was early June 2019, when the asset was trading around $8,000 in the depths of a bear market. Blockchain analytics platform CryptoQuant has a slightly lower total exchange reserve figure of 2.45 million BTC, which puts it at a seven-year low.  Both platforms show that the BTC exchange balance has dropped sharply over the past couple of weeks. More than 114,000 BTC worth over $14 billion has left exchanges over the past fortnight, according to Glassnode. When Bitcoin moves off centralized exchanges into self-custody, institutional funds, or digital asset treasuries, it suggests holders are planning to keep their coins long-term rather than sell them. Bitcoin sitting on exchanges is considered “available supply” that could be liquidated and hit the market at any moment. BTC balance on exchanges dropped to…
