Things that happened to $ATOM since @cosmoslabs_io took over:
→ Robinhood listed ATOM spot trading
→ Revolut launched ATOM staking
→ eToro added ATOM staking
→ Bitstamp added ATOM spot trading
→ Binance delisted the ATOM/BTC margin pair (less manipulation)
→ Part of Mastercard's crypto partner program
CCN reports: $ATOM is likely to be one of few assets qualified as “Mature” under the US Clarity Act’s guidelines.
Once ratified, this would classify $ATOM at the SAME level as Bitcoin and Ethereum, opening $ATOM up to a massive new class of investors.

This is a post to all the Cosmos builders.
First off, you are complete badasses for believing in the Cosmos vision. You have true grit to still be here.
Cosmos has been the most ambitious and challenging experiment in crypto. We are building the only credible Internet of Blockchains. We are actually decentralized. We have the widest-used blockchain stack in the industry, and building your own blockchain is extremely hard.
Given where the market is, and the reality of available liquidity, a lot of teams in Cosmos (like everywhere) are second guessing themselves. VCs are not deploying much, anywhere. There is a flight to quality, and to assets with fundamentals. A lot of teams are thinking of how to approach, and whether to bet on, the new era of Cosmos.
I want to personally say, we are changing everything about the ecosystem behind the scenes. In our new position, we are radically changing how we fund, support, and incubate teams. We are bringing in external investment, and supporting teams in-house. We are ravenous, and we are deeply committed. And we will fight for you, and with you, if you join us.
We cannot lift all boats. There are so many teams we will not be able to support, that probably deserve it. But we are committed to making the best teams in Cosmos shine and become massively successful.
Our strategy has been to focus on the success of the Cosmos Hub as the benchmark for the ecosystem. We want to build it into an incredible platform that onboards new users, provides magical services to app chains, and become the best place for new products to grow up. This will give users and investors a clear entry point, and give us the ability to grow more chains in the ecosystem. Everything we do, we do to grow the Internet of Blockchains.
If you are in Cosmos, this is the time to take off the gloves. This is the time to fight for your product & community, and to make a fuck ton of noise. This is the time to get down to fundamentals, accelerate what's working, and cut everything - and anyone - else. A simple product that does one thing 100% well is infinitely more valuable than doing 10 things at 80%. Focus on simplifying your onboarding experience, your branding, your best feature.
And if you are a founder, be a goddamn founder - do not blame your ecosystem. Missing liquidity? Go market and take it from Ethereum. Missing users? Take a flight, close Twitter, and market your product door-to-door. There is an entire world to be onboarded to the decentralized internet, and we need to work with real people to build something they want to use. No one is stopping you from growing - try different things, be bold. Crypto is called the Wild West for a reason.
If you want new energy, this is the time to leverage ATOM and its community - one of the largest and oldest communities in crypto - to supercharge your application and adoption. Speaking for the ATOM community, we are incredibly excited to use and try new things.
We will be your ally, and you will not have to build this alone. Cosmos has been fragmented for a long time, but as we come together - and if we rally around the Hub - we are unstoppable. Liquidity, users, and attention is attracted to unity, and this is our chance to stop infighting, bite our lip, and align. We've already learned the lessons that Ethereum, Solana, and everyone else are just learning now with their fracturing ecosystems. If we can do this, we can level up and execute a turnaround people will remember for decades.
In the coming months, we will launch the first-ever permissionless VM and ecosystem on the Cosmos Hub. We will bring liquidity, and incentives. It will be deeply integrated with ATOM. We will incubate and launch incredible new applications that use Eureka to natively distribute to users and capital on every ecosystem. And we will support any application built on the Hub to then become their own L1 application. It's time to build a new Cosmos.
We will use the Hub to unleash the builders, and we would love you to be one.

IBC Eureka Upgrade Vote Passes ⚛️
The Gaia v23 upgrade will enable IBC v2 and other key components for the upcoming launch of IBC Eureka, which will revolutionize interoperability:
✅ Connecting Cosmos to any ecosystem, starting with Ethereum
✅ Transforming the Hub into a coordination layer
This vote marks a significant milestone as we get ready for the full launch of IBC Eureka -- more to come soon!
Cosmos is the next Solana.
2019 - 2022: apps deploy on Eth as the only option.
2022 - 2024: apps deploy on Sol since it's fast/liquid.
2025+: apps become sovereign, interoperable L1s with IBC V2.
The internet of blockchains, powered by $ATOM.

@CoinGapeMedia If anyone happens to see this, it is fake news.
$ATOM's listing on Binance (for spot, perps, and margin) is alive and well and will be going forward.
Dual-investment is a niche product that has very few pairs, and does not constitute a "binance delisting"
When IBC V1 came out 4 years ago, it set the new standard for interop and started explosive growth in Cosmos.
Next month, IBC V2 comes out, which natively connects IBC to every chain on earth.
In case you didn’t know:
- We (the ICL) have zero investors
- We (the ICL) have zero advisors
- We (the ICL) got zero genesis or “founder” allocations
- ATOM has zero unlocks, ever
- ATOM is fully liquid and on the market
- ATOM was fairly launched via ICO in 2017 (8 years ago)
Three new ATOM-aligned chains are coming out soon.
Not "ICS alignment". Not "narrative alignment."
I'm talking real, simple financial alignment - when you use the app, and it takes ATOM off the market!
It’s funny to see posts like “the Cosmos stack is winning, but not driving value to X!”
1 - stop. Realize the largest chains choose our tech.
2 - you underestimate us. ATOM (what builds this) is sitting on the biggest adoption goldmine in crypto.
When it clicks, it clicks.
