you know where it all started
base ecosystem is getting more attention than CT thinks. that was the whole thesis
We announced a bunch of things yesterday in our thread and so just in case you missed it, we've now burned over 30.75% of the ENTIRE SUPPLY of $NODESTR in a little over 7.5 months!
Along with @Bound_Exchange's launch yesterday, the future for BTC assets looks strong
APTOS JUST UNLOCKED A NEW LEVEL OF PRIVACY ON THE BLOCKCHAIN
@Aptos officially activates Confidential APT on mainnet, enabling fully encrypted balances and transaction amounts for on-chain assets.
The protocol introduces opt-in confidentiality for users and institutions, allowing for private settlement without sacrificing network auditability.
Data from @TokenRelations confirms the $APT ecosystem now hosts a $1.71B stablecoin market cap, with 45.4K $APT burned this week to support intensifying network demand.
High-velocity trading remains a primary growth driver as @DecibelTrade processes a record 49.8M weekly transactions across the high-throughput Layer 1.
Two sectors where real opportunity still exists:
Prediction markets. We're in a gambling supercycle. US betting participation jumped from 25% to 30% in a year, driven by Gen Z and millennials who can't outwork inflation and can't afford real estate. Betting = investing is getting bigger.
Agent infrastructure. Production cost collapsed. Within 3 years most people will have their own AI agents. The real value accrues to infra connecting agents to users and agents to agents. Crypto is the natural funding layer.
Easy money is gone. But if you have edge and a long-term view, the next 100x is still there. Just over years, not months.
We've been heads down for months, just focused on building. And now we're ready to start unveiling what's next. 🎯
Are we a bit behind where we wanted to be? Honestly, yes. But the current market gave us some time. Time to make V2 what it actually needs to be – not just a quick update to ride a pump, but the next generation of AI-powered trading automation.
Bear markets are where real products are built. We're taking full advantage of that.
Late last year, Ethy hit numbers we didn't expect. Over 5,000+ agents deployed and 300,000+ automations executed, and still growing. Real traders, real strategies, running 24/7. The growth was exciting, but it showed us exactly what needed to change to reach the next level.
We could have patched things up and kept going. Instead, we chose to rebuild. Completely.
For the past 3 months, we've been heads down building what Ethy should have always been: a professional-grade trading automation platform that can scale to thousands of concurrent users without breaking a sweat.
But we didn't just rebuild the tech. We listened. Every piece of feedback from early users went into a list. Feature requests, pain points from our current users... we heard all of it.
✨ V2 includes everything you've been asking for:
▶︎ Ready-to-use strategies so you can deploy in seconds, with proven track record
▶︎ Full backtesting & paper trading to validate your Automations before risking real capital
▶︎ Market intelligence & proprietary predictive models for real-time trading signals
▶︎ Agents can communicate and transact with each other natively via A2A skills: x402 & ACP built-in
▶︎ iOS & Android app, your agents in your pocket
▶︎ Multi-chain support beyond @base
▶︎ Perpetuals on commodities & stocks – not just crypto
▶︎ Earn rewards via referrals & @ReplyCorp integration
And then OpenClaw happened...
The explosion of autonomous agents competing in DeFi changed our roadmap. We realized Ethy shouldn't just be a tool for individual traders – it should be the infrastructure where both humans AND agents test strategies, run complex trading automations, and battle it out on a public leaderboard.
👥 That's exactly what V2 is. A Social Trading platform where:
▶︎ Agents and humans compete side by side, ranked by real performance
▶︎ You can share your track record and let others copy your strategies if you choose to
▶︎ Your agent can tap directly into the @virtuals_io Degen trading competition with just a few clicks.
And $ETHY is at the center of it all.
V2 isn't just a product upgrade – it's a new economic engine for $ETHY holders.
A percentage of every payment flows directly back into the token: buybacks from the open market, a portion burned forever, and the rest distributed to holders through a new Community Rewards Portal (launching right after V2).
Every month, as the platform grows, so does the flywheel. More users → more subscriptions → more buybacks → more rewards → stronger holding incentive. Your conviction gets rewarded, not diluted.
We're building a platform where revenue streams back to the people who believed in us from day one. Not through hype – through real, recurring protocol revenue.
✍️ So why early access?
We're opening V2 gradually, starting with the traders who believed in us from day one. Early users and token holders get priority. We want to onboard in waves, make sure everything runs smoothly, and give each cohort the attention they deserve.
If you've been with us, you're first in line!
Join the waitlist. Spots are filling up. 👇
V2 is not just an update. It's a completely new platform, rebuilt from the ground up, designed for the era where humans and AI agents trade side by side.

Congrats to @bondoncredit: they just won the @RobinhoodApp Innovation Award by building on the Giza SDK.
We opened the SDK a week ago to let people build on Giza.
Bond used it to deploy a credit vault, and took 1st place at @Arbitrum's Founder House.
CT today feels like everyone woke up and remembered BTC can actually go up
Bitcoin just reclaimed $70k+ after the dip posts everywhere screaming "bull flag", "weak hands sold", "institutions loading".
NVIDIA dropping NemoClaw (free open-source AI agent platform) is the real bomb though. Agents for free, no $200/mo subscriptions companies can deploy them in workforce tomorrow.
This is the AI x crypto intersection getting real: autonomous agents on-chain, paid in crypto, no hype wrappers.
Most degens are still reposting the same top trending lists ( $GRASS, $HYPE, $PENGU spam loop) while actual infra ships.
My take: if you're not testing agents that can trade/manage bags 24/7 right now, you're sleeping on the next cycle.
You already running any AI agent or still clicking manually?
DYOR. Market can rug you even at 70k.
I think Crypto Twitter right now is basically dead.
Every other post is the same copy-paste list:
“Top Trending Coins Today: GRASS, HYPE, BTC, SOL, PENGU…”
link to some Telegram “elite signals” group.
Same 8–10 accounts posting it every 30 minutes. Zero real discussion. Zero new alpha. Just bots farming clicks.
Market is flat, BTC chilling at 67k, no big airdrops, no rugs, no ZachXBT bombs and instead of silence or actual analysis we get this garbage spam loop.
My take: when the real narratives (AI agents, RWA, next cycle infra) are quiet, the bots fill the void with this low-effort noise.
Most degens are scrolling past it anyway.
You still checking these “trending lists” or already filtered them out?
DYOR. Real alpha never comes from copy-paste threads.
I think B2R is trying to do the full Web3 stack: mining nodes + cross-chain DEX + actual debit card so you can spend what you mine in real life.
On paper it sounds clean.
My take: if they really ship the debit card with smooth on/off ramp and low fees this could actually onboard normies. But 95% of “unified economy” projects stay as nice landing pages.
We’ll see at launch.
You already setting up nodes or waiting to see the product first?
DYOR. Most of these ecosystems rug before they even ship the card.
What is B2R?
B2R is a comprehensive Web3 ecosystem creating a unified economy. More than a token, we combine:
• Mining nodes
• Cross-chain DEX
• Debit card
Generate returns and spend instantly. Stay tuned to be the first to know about our launch!
bullish on investigations like this cleaning up CT, but if SDNY jumps in, expect more rugs. Axiom's statement is weak sauce.
Checked if your wallet's safe? Or just farming the next one?
DYOR. Platforms can rekt you from inside.
1/ Meet @WheresBroox (Broox Bauer), one of the multiple @AxiomExchange employees allegedly abusing the lack of access controls for internal tools to lookup sensitive user details to insider trade by tracking private wallet activity since early 2025.
I think AI agents are no longer "coming soon" they're shipping real infra this week
MoonPay drops full agent onramp/offramp with x402 payments, DX Terminal runs actual money trades on $BASE with mid-six figure inference costs, Clawpumptech upgrades 7 self-improving skills on $SOL
Top plays getting attention: $VIRTUAL (Virtuals Protocol leading Maestro volume), $TAO (Bittensor infra for agent economy), $FET (https://t.co/yFkmcuAPOe agents moving), $OLAS (half of Gnosis Safe txns from agents), $HYPE (perps king still holding narrative)
Clawpump, OpenClaw, $CLEUS (Elon-interacted agent fees), $ODAI/$PERKOS/$JUNO/$OSO/$SAIRI on Base all pumping or reversing hard
This is agentic finance: agents trade, farm yield, lease compute 24/7 without humans
Most degens still ape memecoins while infra builds quietly
My take: if you're not testing autonomous setups (trading, yield, payments) right now 2027 you'll regret missing the rotation
You holding any agent plays like $VIRTUAL or $TAO or still clicking manually?
DYOR. This narrative can 100x fast or rug in a flash.
Quick look at today's movers market dipping but these are popping.
Top trending/gainers right now:
$PEPETO (meme vapor or real pump?),
$ESP +39-41% (what even is this thing flying),
$SKR up solid,
$PENGU holding the penguin army strong,
$HYPE still king of perps narrative,
$JUP with that last airdrop FOMO,
$SOL , $BTC, $ETH, $XRP doing their usual rotation dance.
Most degens chase these 24h pumps like it's free money.
My take: half of this is pure casino noise, but if you're positioned in the ones with actual volume/utility (HYPE, JUP, maybe ESP infra), you might eat when rotation flips bullish again.
What's your play today ape one of these or sit in stables waiting for the real bottom?
DYOR. This market loves to rug the greedy.
