Crypto news flash: According to a report by Bloomberg, Adm. Daryl Caudle, the U.S. Navy’s Chief of Naval Operations, said that NATO’s naval alliance remains strong, as the U.S. transfers more responsibilities to allies while focusing on capabilities that only the U.S. Navy can provide. He noted that the Navy is accelerating the development of autonomous systems, preparing to meet increasing competition in the Arctic region, and that protecting global maritime sea lanes is a key priority for U.S. national security.
