Crypto firms still seeking frontier AI access; only select few have it

Crypto companies are still seeking access to advanced AI models, despite some firms like Coinbase and Binance making progress.

While some crypto firms, like Fireblocks and Uniswap, have sought access, others remain in the dark.
