Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), on Tuesday indicated a willingness for the U.S. banking sector to fully incorporate cryptocurrencies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42798512/cryptocurrency-exchanges-will-have-banking-functionality-by-2027">into payment systems</a>.
This comes with a crucial condition: clear regulatory approval. 
What Happened: Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Moynihan <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/21/bank-of-america-ceo-financial-industry-will-embrace-crypto-if-regulators-allow-it.html">responded</a> to questions about the potential impact of President Donald Trump&#8216;s positive views on digital currencies.
This suggests a significant shift in tone, as previously, many big banks had shied away from integrating crypto payments at the consumer level.

However, Moynihan&#8217;s comments do not suggest that Bank of America, or the banking sector as a whole, currently see cryptocurrency as an investment vehicle, but rather solely as a transactional tool.
Moynihan explained that if regulators establish a framework that enables secure and legitimate cryptocurrency transactions, traditional banks would likely become heavily involved in facilitating them. 
He pointed out that these transactions could potentially operate in much the same way as existing payment systems. 
The implication here is that crypto payments might become as commonplace as credit card transactions. 
Bank of America, he further noted, has been actively researching blockchain technology, demonstrating their readiness to enter the space if and when regulations are approved. 
This suggests a level of readiness, rather than a speculation or projection. 
Moynihan drew a distinction between crypto&#8217;s use as a payment method and it&#8217;s possible uses as an investment, stating that these are separate concerns. 
This is important because while banks have been very active in some crypto areas like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETFs, they have so far been resistant to the idea of everyday payments.

Spotlight on RTX: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

America&#8217;s artificial intelligence boom is triggering an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42349552/is-the-mag-7s-ai-boom-supercharging-a-natural-gas-revolution">unexpected surge in natural gas power plant construction</a>, upending clean energy forecasts and culminating in Constellation Energy&#8217;s $27 billion acquisition of gas giant Calpine.
Energy consultancy Enverus projects that 80 new gas-fired plants will be built across the United States by 2030, adding 46 gigawatts of power capacity – equivalent to Norway&#8217;s entire electrical system, according to a report issued by the Financial Times. The expansion marks a 20% increase over the past five years&#8217; construction pace and reverses earlier predictions of declining gas capacity.
&#8220;Gas is actually growing faster now and in the medium term, than ever before,&#8221; Enverus research analyst Corianna Mah told the Financial Times.

Meta recently announced plans to power its $10 billion AI data center through Entergy&#8217;s $3.2 billion gas plant expansion. Once the facility comes online, the social media giant will become the utility&#8217;s largest customer.
The Department of Energy expects AI-related electricity demand from data centers to triple within three years. The surge caught even industry veterans off guard. &#8220;I wish I could&#8217;ve predicted it 18 months ago,&#8221; said Bill Newsom, CEO of turbine manufacturer Mitsubishi Power Americas, which now plans to boost production capacity by 50%.
Traditional energy companies are rushing to capitalize. ExxonMobil and Chevron are designing plants to supply AI data centers directly while utilities keep aging facilities running longer than planned. Wood Mackenzie has cut its 2035 forecast for gas plant retirements by 10%.

The construction wave threatens the Biden administration&#8217;s climate goals, which target a 50% emissions cut by the decade&#8217;s end. According to data from energy think tank Ember cited by the Financial Times, U.S. gas plants released over one billion tons of carbon dioxide last year – their highest output on record.
While renewable energy development continues, industry leaders say current battery technology can&#8217;t match gas plants&#8217; reliability for power-hungry AI operations. &#8220;Your ability to serve that kind of load reliably is very limited with traditional renewables,&#8221; Matt Bulpitt, Entergy&#8217;s vice president of power development, said to Financial Times.
Texas, Tennessee and South Carolina led the gas expansion. None of the planned facilities will include carbon capture systems, equipment that would become mandatory in 2032 under Biden-era rules likely to face rollback under Trump&#8217;s second term.

Drone delivery services will likely become a&nbsp;$10 billion industry&nbsp;by the decade&#8217;s end.
Amazon&#8217;s drone operation <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/39093895/amazons-drone-program-to-expand-with-new-faa-clearance-whats-on-the-move" rel="noreferrer noopener">aims to deliver</a> 500 million packages annually by the decade&#8217;s end.
Eleven years ago, Amazon founder&nbsp;Jeff Bezos&nbsp;shared plans to build drones capable of delivering products to customers in less than half an hour.
In December, two MK30 drones crashed during flights at the airport in Pendleton, Oregon, which Amazon uses for testing.
The company later discovered a software issue that caused the accident.
The MK30 drones, cleared to commence operations by the Federal Aviation Administration in October, have delivered packages to customers&#8217; homes in College Station, Texas, and Tolleson, Arizona.
Amazon representative Sam Stephenson told Bloomberg that deliveries will resume after the FAA approval.
Stephenson emailed Bloomberg, stating Amazon&#8217;s drones continued to deliver safely and within federal guidelines between the December crashes and Friday&#8217;s halt.
In December, the company completed its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35323630/amazons-drone-delivery-service-to-extend-to-uk-and-italy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first test flight</a> in Italy and plans to expand its service this year. It is also targeting the start of deliveries in the U.K.

The analyst flagged Amazon&#8217;s exposure to less discretionary categories (experiencing volatility in online spending from lower incomes) with high repeat behavior through subscriptions and essentials purchasing.
Amazon stock surged over 48% in the past 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through ProShares Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONLN#NYSE">ONLN</a>) and Vanguard Consumer Discretion ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCR#NYSE">VCR</a>).
