If you haven't yet watched 'The Thinking Game' documentary that tells the story of @deepmind, you really should!

It's remarkable, and I am grateful to have shared some amazing memories with the Deepmind team during my time in in London (2016-18).

2026 will be the year of prediction markets - no doubt about it.

Space’s public sale reaching $10.6M committed (4.24× oversubscribed) is another strong confirmation.

We believe prediction markets are entering a phase of real adoption, but only platforms that deliver deep liquidity, capital efficiency, and trader-grade tooling will scale.

Space is built with that in mind:
- Leveraged prediction markets with up to 10x exposure
- Continuous, user-to-user markets enabling real price discovery
- Zero maker fees and capital-efficient liquidity design
- High-performance execution on @Solana

Space is built by a seasoned web3-native team, partnered with @PythNetwork, @Heliuslabs, @solanamobile and validated by strong demand across both the @echodotxyz sale and the current public sale.

Our thesis is simple:
prediction markets evolve into truth infrastructure, and @intodotspace is positioning itself as the base layer, where traders compete, developers build, and long-term value accrues.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is stunning. It really shows that, at this stage, the real competition in humanoid robotics isn't between the US and China, but Shenzhen vs Shanghai vs Hangzhou.

By my count there's already 35 strong humanoid robot companies in China, including the global leaders in sales and volume.

Several of these companies already have commercialized robots actually deployed at scale (e.g. anyone can buy Unitree's G1 robot for $13.5k today: https://t.co/qxnNguap4W).

On its end, the US has, arguably, 6 humanoid companies or products:
- Tesla (Optimus)
- Figure AI
- Agility Robotics (Digit)
- Boston Dynamics (Atlas)
- Apptronik (Apollo)
- Sanctuary AI (Phoenix)

But:
- Zero have commercialized products that consumers can actually buy today
- Zero have achieved mass production
- All are either in prototype phase, internal testing, or limited industrial pilots

Which means that stunningly, the city of Shenzhen alone, with 8 humanoid robot companies, probably outcompetes the entire US industry today.

If the US can't compete with a single Chinese city, then clearly the race is between Chinese cities.

Europe, meanwhile, true to form, is basically not even in the race at all.

1/ Tell me again how blue-collar workers wont be replaced in the very near future.

The robot Figure 02 had an 11-month deployment at BMW Group’s Spartanburg plant, including 10-hour daily shifts, during which it moved 90,000+ parts, ran 1,250+ hours, and contributed to the production of over 30,000 X3 vehicles.

The deployment yielded critical learnings (especially about reliability and mechanical design) that are being incorporated into the next-gen robot Figure 03.

Great times in Saudi at @FIIKSA 🇸🇦

Surprisingly there was little conversations around blockchain/crypto (except for impact of @tether on global inclusion), and lots of talk around AI, data centers and humanoid robots 🤖

BREAKING: 313K Players Migrated to Mainnet 📈

[Danilo S. Carlucci @daniloscarlucci]

@GUNbyGUNZ very good

[Danilo S. Carlucci @daniloscarlucci]

Great progress!! @VladK133 👏 $GUN

[Vlad Korolev @VladK133]

I know that many of you are thinking about the recent market shock. But during times of turbulence, it’s important to focus on positive progress — and I’d like to share ours.

GUNZ has just reached an all-time high in the number of decoded HEXs on the mainnet (each decode burns $GUN and decreases its circulating supply), following several recent migration waves — and the process is still in its early phase, with most users yet to migrate. 🚀

What did we do in Singapore last week at Token2049?

- Teased @EpicOnChain’s upcoming crypto card => launching soon with $XRP cashback and availability across 150+ countries, bridging digital assets with real-world payments.
- Proved that web3 gaming is thriving: @GUNbyGUNZ continues its mainnet migration, bringing tens of thousands of real players and transactions on-chain daily.
- Showed how simple DeFi can be: @defiapp is redefining on-chain trading with intuitive UX and mobile-first design made for both newcomers and degens.
- Opened applications on @BlockStreetXYZ launchpad: supporting the next generation of builders through the USD1 stablecoin and a new fundraising model.
- Tested the new $CUDIS rings. Collaboration with @SuiNetwork blending wellness, AI, and data privacy into one wearable experience.
- Explored Asia’s growing IP and RWA ecosystem together with .

And of course, met many new friends and familiar partners along the way.

Thanks to everyone who joined us 💫

Hard work pays off: $W outperformed $SOL, $HYPE, and $PUMP over the past 3 months.

The amount of product releases, partnerships, and upgrades the team is shipping is impressive. $W also stands out as one of the few “VC coins” adapting its tokenomics to the new market environment.

Keep it up @danreecer_ / @robinson 👏

[Vlad Korolev @VladK133]

Another round of EU mainnet migration waves arriving this week. Momentum keeps building 🚀
