Insta360's new wireless mic looks no bigger than an Apple AirTag
The Insta360 Mic Air is currently available through the company's online store and retailers like Amazon for $49.99 for the microphone by itself, or as part of a $69.99 bundle that includes a USB-C receiver needed to connect the mic wirelessly to smartphones and Insta360's stabilized gimbals.
Weighing just 7.9 grams, the Mic Air is lighter than the 10 gram DJI Mic Mini, the 30 gram Rode Wireless GO II, and even Shure's tiny 8.2 gram MoveMic. It's designed to be worn by clipping it to clothing, using a magnetic backing, or by hanging from a pendant strap. For solo creators, the Mic Air also has its own button controls that can be used to activate noise canceling, start or stop video recording, and even quickly mute it, while the USB-C receiver has its own volume controls.
Insta360 claims the Mic Air offers up to 10 hours of use on a single charge and a range of up to 300 meters, but that's while the microphone is connected to its optional wireless receiver in an 'open, unobstructed, and interference-free environment' and with noise canceling turned off. The Mic Air can also wirelessly connect directly to the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 action cam and Insta360 X5 8K 360-degree cam over Bluetooth (the company is promising compatibility with other models coming later). But doing so drops the battery life to up to 7.5 hours and the range will be reduced to between 30 and 50 meters.
Although Bluetooth connectivity is included, the optional USB-C wireless receiver is needed to use the Mic Air with smartphones, which also means you'll potentially need a cumbersome adapter dongle to use it with older iPhones that still have a lightning port.

White House says chips deals could perhaps expand to other companies
(Refiles to fix capitalization in headline, add period to end of second paragraph) (Reuters) -The White House said on Tuesday that perhaps deals could be expanded to other chip companies after Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of revenue from sales to China of certain advanced chips. "It stands with these two companies, perhaps it could expand in the future to other companies. I think it's a creative idea and solution," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing.

Tom Lee's Ethereum Treasury BitMine Ups ETH Raise by $20 Billion
Bitmine Immersion is upping its fundraise target for buying more ETH by $20 billion, according to the firm's filing with federal regulators on Tuesday, as it jockeys to maintain its standing as the world's largest Ethereum treasury. The cryptocurrency mining company aims to raise a total of $24.5 billion of its common stock. The announcement marks a dramatic expansion of its common stock sale, for which the company had already made $4.5 billion worth of its shares available to investors. Under the sale, Bitmine Immersion's common stock shares will go for $0.0001 each. It is unclear what percentage of Bitmine's stock sale proceeds will go toward purchasing ETH. A company representative did not immediately reply to Decrypt's request for comment on the matter. Bitmine Immersion's expansion of its common stock sale comes as a growing number of publicly traded firms establish Ethereum treasuries, fueling a resurgence in the cryptocurrency's price. Sharplink Gaming, BitMine and EtherMachine and Bit Digital largely began pivoting to accumulating massive amounts of Ethereum as a corporate strategy to lift shares of their stocks, adapting the playbook of Michael Saylor's software firm Strategy, which is the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. The companies' holdings could soon account for 10% of all Ethereum in circulation, according to one Standard Chartered analyst. And as publicly traded companies snap up greater amounts of Ethereum, the layer-1 token's price has skyrocketed. Solana Meme Coins Slump as Investors Rotate into ETH & 'Quality-Focused' Altcoins ETH is trading just below $4,500 as of writing time, up 50% in the past month and more than 70% year-to-date. That puts it less than 9% below its all-time high of just above $4,900 hit in November 2021. In a Myriad Linea markets, nearly 80% of participants expect Ethereum to trade over $5,000 by years-end. (Disclosure: Myriad is a prediction market and engagement platform developed by Dastan, parent company of an editorially independent Decrypt.) As the altcoin's value has swelled, so too has Bitmine Immersion's stock. The company's shares were recently trading at $62.05 on Tuesday, up 51% in the past month and up nearly 700% in the year to date.
