𝕏 has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors. Billions of dollars are allocated every day based on what people read on Timeline.

Today we're launching our new Cashtags feature in the US and Canada on iPhone, bringing real-time financial data to X.

Here's how it works:

1. When you search for or post a cashtag (or contract address), X will automatically suggest matching stocks or crypto tokens, so you can select the exact asset you had in mind.

2. Anyone who taps a Cashtag will see posts mentioning it along with its price chart—without ever leaving X.

This ensures that you're always matched to the chatter for the right stock or token.

Cashtags are just the first step in our commitment to be the best destination for the finance and crypto community.

The last administration drove away the digital asset industry. It’s time to welcome them home with clear rules of the road.

Pass the Clarity Act.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

The GENIUS Act, signed by President Trump last year, established U.S. leadership on stablecoins.

The CLARITY Act, also known as market structure legislation, would do the same for all other digital assets by providing clear rules of the road.

Secretary Bessent is right: the time to act is now. Senate Banking, and then the full Senate, should pass market structure.

I’m confident that they will. And then President Trump will sign this landmark bill into law.

Block anyone who was calling for the “local top” on the hottest AI coin in crypto, during the biggest AI wave in human history.

Meanwhile Intel is working with Targon (subnet), Jensen Huang NVIDIA CEO quite literally said what Templar (subnet) is doing is massively important.

What’s happening on Bittensor isn’t a pump and dump. It’s decentralized AI startups fighting to be a main piece of the future.

Higher for longer.

Advancing confidential computing for a more secure AI future.

Together with @manifoldlabs, we’re exploring how Intel TDX and Intel Trust Authority help enable confidential workloads across decentralized infrastructure, including @TargonCompute's Targon Cloud platform—protecting data at rest, in transit, and in use.

[Andy ττ @bittingthembits]

🚨 Intel just co-authored a whitepaper with Manifold Labs @TargonCompute A Bittensor subnet team $TAO's SN4

Let that land for a second 🔥

Not a blog post. Not a tweet. A formal technical whitepaper published on Intel's official site. Co-written by Intel engineers alongside the Manifold Labs team. Detailing architecture they built together.

This is Intel validating decentralized compute at the deepest technical level possible.

Most people will scroll past this without realizing what just happened.

The single biggest objection to decentralized compute has always been trust. If your AI workload runs on some random person's hardware, how do you know they're not stealing your data? Your model weights? Your training sets? Your proprietary information?

That objection just died.

Here's what Manifold Labs built with Intel.

When you rent a GPU from Amazon or Google, you trust them not to look at your data. That's it. Trust. A legal agreement. A reputation. But technically, the cloud provider can see everything running on their machines. Your data is encrypted when it's stored. It's encrypted when it moves across the network. But the moment it's actually being used, the moment the GPU is computing on it, it's exposed. Decrypted in memory. Visible to the host.

Every centralized cloud provider operates on this assumption. You just trust them not to look.

Manifold Labs said, we don't trust anyone. And neither should you.

They used Intel's TDX technology to create Confidential Virtual Machines. These are encrypted environments where your data is protected at every stage. At rest. In transit. And during execution. The person who owns the hardware physically cannot see what's running on their own machine. Not the data. Not the model. Not the intermediate computations. Nothing.

The hardware itself enforces the privacy. Not a contract. Not a promise. Silicon.

And it doesn't just check once. Every 72 minutes, the system re-verifies that the machine is still in a genuine confidential state. If anything changes, if the boot chain is tampered with, if the hardware is modified, if the VM is moved to a different machine, the system detects it immediately and shuts it down. The encrypted disk becomes permanently inaccessible.

You cannot copy it. You cannot move it. You cannot replay it. You cannot inspect it. The cryptography is enforced at the CPU level by Intel and at the GPU level by NVIDIA.

Think about what this unlocks.

Every enterprise that has ever said "we can't use decentralized compute because of security concerns" just lost their argument. Every regulated industry, healthcare, finance, legal, defense, that requires data to be protected during processing now has a decentralized option that meets enterprise-grade security requirements.

Every AI startup that can't afford $50,000 a month for secure cloud instances can now access the same level of confidential computing on decentralized infrastructure at a fraction of the cost.

Intel did not do this as a favor. Intel co-authored this paper because they see decentralized confidential computing as a legitimate market.

They see Bittensor subnet teams building real infrastructure that their enterprise customers will use.

They see the future of compute and they are choosing to build with the decentralized ecosystem rather than against it.

A Fortune 500 semiconductor company just put its name next to a Bittensor subnet's architecture in a formal technical publication.

That is not a partnership announcement. That is institutional recognition at the hardware layer.

The cloud monopoly is built on two things scale and trust. Bittensor subnets are solving scale through incentivized compute. Manifold Labs and Intel just solved trust through hardware-enforced confidentiality.

Both walls are falling.

$TAO

DYOR.

[Jesus Martinez @JesusMartinez]

A Bittensor subnet just dropped a white paper co-authored with Intel.

Not a "partnership announcement." Not a logo on a slide. Two Intel engineers put their names on it.

Subnet 4. Targon. The biggest confidential compute network on Bittensor. And Intel just validated the entire architecture.

Targon built something called the Targon Virtual Machine. It uses Intel TDX and NVIDIA Confidential Computing to spin up fully encrypted VMs on random people's machines.

The host operator can't see your data. Can't read your model weights. Can't inspect GPU memory. Can't even mount the disk.

Here's how it works.

• Every hardware provider gets a uniquely encrypted VM
• The VM only decrypts after passing remote attestation through Intel Trust Authority
• If any part of the boot chain is tampered with, the key never releases. The disk stays locked.
• Once booted, the VM is IP-locked to that specific machine. You can't clone it, migrate it, or replay it elsewhere.
• Every 72 minutes, the node re-attests with a fresh challenge-response nonce. No stale proofs.
• CPU attestation and GPU attestation are nested into a single cryptographic proof

The threat model assumes the hardware provider is actively hostile. Full physical access. Controls the hypervisor. Can snapshot VMs. Can collude with other providers.

And the system still holds.

This is Bittensor Subnet 4. Over 1,500 H200s on the network. 20 billion+ paid inference tokens per day. $60M+ in annual compute incentives flowing through it.

Manifold raised a $10.5M Series A from OSS Capital, with Ram Shriram (early Google backer) participating.

But the Intel co-authorship is the real signal here.

Intel doesn't put engineer names on white papers for marketing. This is their team validating that Targon's architecture correctly implements TDX for production confidential computing on decentralized infrastructure.

That's enterprise credibility you can't buy.

The biggest unsolved problem in decentralized compute has always been trust. Nobody serious will run sensitive AI workloads on machines they don't control.

Targon just solved it at the hardware level. And Intel co-signed the receipt.
