XAU₮ at $2.24B cap already controls over half the gold stablecoin market. Visa integration and Dubai gold ATMs turn gold from a static reserve into a usable daily asset. That's the real shift here.

[SadeeQ @mr_abusadeeq]

Tether and Fasset have unveiled the first Visa card fully backed by tokenized gold, allowing users to spend $USDT anywhere Visa is accepted while earning up to 6% cashback in Tether Gold ($XAU₮).

Each $XAU₮ token represents one troy ounce of physical gold stored in Swiss vaults, and a $1M rewards pool is seeding the launch.

The card also features a round-up tool that converts spare change into gold, plus plans for co-branded gold ATMs starting in Dubai.

With $XAU₮ already controlling over half the gold stablecoin market at a $2.24B cap, this directly turns gold from a static reserve into a usable daily asset.

Upbit's KRW listing pushed $IO volume to ~$200M in a single day.

The token also surged more than 30% within hours of the listing.

Still $IO sits near a ~$48M market cap.

Was the Upbit move just another Korean exchange pump, or is the market starting to price real AI compute demand?

io net is building a decentralized GPU network for AI workloads.

The platform aggregates idle GPUs from around the world and turns them into a marketplace for AI training, fine-tuning, and inference.

The goal is reducing reliance on centralized cloud providers while lowering compute costs.

That’s where https://t.co/ZwSz2twBJm differs from many DePIN projects.

Instead of targeting general infrastructure, https://t.co/ZwSz2twBJm focuses specifically on AI and machine learning workloads.

The network supports:

• AI training
• Fine-tuning
• Inference workloads
• Distributed GPU clusters

There are still important risks.

Only ~43% of total supply is currently circulating.

Future supply pressure remains significant:

• Team allocations continue vesting
• Early backer allocations continue unlocking
• Treasury emissions extend through future years

The network's Incentive Dynamic Engine attempts to align emissions with usage, but adoption still needs to grow fast enough to offset ongoing supply entering the market.

At the same time:

• No major exploit history surfaced
• No public team misconduct emerged
• On-chain metrics remain transparent
• Real-world AI deployments have already been reported on the network

Tokenomics

• Price: $0.13
• Market cap: $48M
• Circulating supply: 346.46M
• Total supply: 800M

Always take whatever you read on the internet with a pinch of salt, do your own research, NFA.

@ronezra3 Decentralized AI validation solves a real trust gap. K2 Think proved efficient models can outperform 20x larger LLMs. If Bittensor's incentive structure holds at scale, trustless AI becomes the standard.

[K. Omar @khalidomarft]

@SilverBulletBTC Weekly setups take time. 27% retrace is sharp but doesn't break the structural thesis. Fair play on the honest follow-up though, most just delete the original.

🇺🇸 UPDATE: Senator Cynthia Lummis warns that the United States risks falling behind in digital finance and blockchain innovation if Congress fails to pass the CLARITY Act, emphasizing the need for clear regulatory rules to remain globally competitive.

[K. Omar @khalidomarft]

@2xnmore The prediction market mechanic is what makes $TAO interesting. Validators aren't just mining, they're pricing AI quality in real time. That's a meaningful crypto-AI convergence.

[K. Omar @khalidomarft]

@ourcryptotalk @PeterSchiff The fundamentals tell the real story. ETFs, regulated exchanges, institutional custody. None of this existed in 2018. Peter's comparing two completely different markets.

[John Squire 🇺🇸 @TheCryptoSquire]

🚨🏠 $5B GIANT MAKES A MOVE 🏠🚨

While most people are distracted by daily price action, the real story is happening behind the scenes.

OpenDoor is moving toward crypto integration, and the real estate market is worth over $400 TRILLION globally.

Think about that for a second.

When digital assets start connecting with one of the largest industries on Earth, the opportunity becomes hard to ignore.

The biggest wealth transfers happen when people recognize the trend before the crowd.

$XRP is positioning itself where real world value meets blockchain. 🔥

[woisau @woisau1]

The biggest bottleneck in AI agents isn’t intelligence.

It’s trust and shared memory.

@origin_trail DKG solves this with cryptographic provenance and verifiable knowledge graphs.

Every serious agent swarm will eventually need this layer.

Quietly one of the most important projects in crypto.

@Maria_1Appe Sub-$1 is accumulation with proper sizing. Fear is where positions get built, not abandoned.

[Jonny @jonnydahorse]

There will be no real alternative for production agents
Companies do not want the smartest model on paper
They want secure, reliable and cost efficient systems that can run at scale without breaking
That is what @openservai is building with SERV Reasoning

Soon everyone will ask where $SERV suddenly came from
The answer will be simple

It was being built while most people were still chasing demos

[Crypto Lens @crypto_lens_]

Bitcoin just rejected the final Bull Trap of this cycle.

It's the same Lower Highs fractal we've seen before, and next week $BTC will dump to $50,000 once again.

$61K → $65K → $52K → $50K → $48k → $43K

Scenario 1:
→ $48K within days

Scenario 2:
→ $43K by July

Don't become exit liquidity.

@VikingXBT @KobeissiLetter Simplistic take. Sailing warships into a blockade zone means direct confrontation. China's global trade relationships far outweigh discounted Iranian crude. They'll source elsewhere.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Iranian oil exports are collapsing:

Iran exported just ~209,000 barrels per day of crude oil and condensate in May, the lowest since early 2020.

This marks a -84% decline from April levels, which stood at 1.34 million barrels per day, and -89% from March levels, which were at ~1.90 million barrels per day.

As a result, China's imports of Iranian crude fell to 1.10 million barrels per day in May, the lowest since January 2025, according to Kpler.

This comes as the US naval blockade, which took effect on April 13th, has severely restricted Iranian exports by preventing most vessels from entering or departing Iranian ports.

Meanwhile, Iranian floating storage has declined -43 million barrels since late April, to ~147 million barrels, with ~67 million barrels stranded inside the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman and unable to reach buyers.

If these conditions persist for another 2 months, Iran could effectively run out of oil available to ship to China, its largest buyer.

Iranian oil shipments are declining at a rapid pace.

Are people still underestimating Stellar?

AI projects solving actual problems in financial infrastructure, that's where I'm focused. K2-level efficiency is where this space is heading. Real adoption over narrative every time.

[Santo @SolSantoX]

$SERV remains incredibly strong at a $48M market cap, even through the latest market-wide pullback.

While many small caps got crushed, SERV continues to show relative strength. That’s usually where the next runners hide.

AI is still one of the strongest narratives this cycle, but stock picking matters more than ever. Quality > quantity.

Stay selective. Stay patient. Keep dry powder ready for opportunities if the market gives us another flush.

What are your moonbags for the next 6-12 months? 👀

[Shuarix™ @Shuarix]

NGL this @openservai writeup actually changed how i see the project, and most people are still sleeping on why

Most read it as just another crypto-ai token but tbh that misses the point, because underneath the token and launchpad there's a legit enterprise reasoning engine that lets cheap models reason like the expensive ones (which matters a lot when frontier inference costs are quietly bankrupting teams running agents at scale)

The part that sold imo is the auditability angle, since banks and gov systems can't just say "the ai decided" and move on... they legally need to show their work, and a reasoning graph you can actually inspect and replay is exactly the kind of moat the big labs aren't going to build for 'em

It's not vaporware either, there's a real arxiv paper, public benchmarks you can verify yourself... plus an enterprise customer where tool-call reliability jumped from like 50-60% to 100% once they applied the full methodology

I'm leaning bullish here, because a project that can credibly stand in both the crypto and ai worlds w actual revenue under the ticker is rare, and @openservai looks like one of the few that genuinely pulls it off
