| | | | ETH Sells Off—but $10K Is Still on the Table Ether took a hit alongside Bitcoin, but the fundamentals tell a different story. Onchain activity hit 9.5 billion daily contract calls, while tokenized real-world assets have climbed to $11.7 billion in value. Analysts are calling it Ethereum's "new normal"—sustained usage, rising institutional flows, and a network that's quietly building the foundation for a run to $10K. | | | | | Meet Billions: The Cypherpunk Answer to Worldcoin Worldcoin isn't as dystopian as its critics claim—but it's still unsettling. That unease has given rise to Billions Network—a cypherpunk alternative built around privacy, not biometrics. The premise is the same—verifying real humans online—but without the biometric eyeball scans or corporate control. As governments push mandatory IDs, projects like Billions are proving you can fight AI fakery without handing your identity to Big Tech. | | | | | | | | [Brought to you by Mantra] | | | | | Agentic., a two-day summit in Abu Dhabi, dives into the future of finance: systematic trading of RWAs, tokenization, AI execution, cryptography and next-gen infrastructure.

Gold's at $4,000. Silver's at a 45-year high. The safe-haven trade has never looked hotter—but analysts say the rotation is coming. With precious metals stretched and the dollar faltering, Bitcoin is starting to look cheap again. The thesis is simple: when gold gets crowded, capital hunts for the next store of value. BTC may be the one asset still underpriced for what's coming. | | | | | | | | | [Accelerator]

Dubai is emerging as Hong Kong's strongest challenger in the race for crypto dominance. Backed by oil wealth and Islamic finance, the emirate's crypto strategy blends ambition with influence. But despite pilot programs, billion-dollar hubs, and growing global attention, real liquidity still sits in Hong Kong, where Beijing's support keeps the balance of power firmly in place. | | | | | | | | | OPINION Why XRP Still Matters | | | | | XRP's story isn't just about price charts—it's about infrastructure. The token powers real-world payments, loyalty programs, and institutional finance on the XRP Ledger, now bolstered by regulatory clarity and bank-grade adoption. It's one of the few assets bridging crypto and traditional money at scale. Price may grab headlines, but utility is what gives XRP its staying power. | | | | | | | | | —Written by Monica Hutchison | | | | 4.6 million people follow us on social media.
