The latest in AI.
Bittensor’s TAO did not rally because traders suddenly discovered artificial intelligence. Crypto has been chasing the AI narrative for more than a year. TAO rallied because the Anthropic shock gave that narrative a sharper political edge. After the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to suspend acces
Arthur Hayes has never been a quiet macro tourist in crypto. The BitMEX co-founder has built his public reputation around bold, theatrical and often uncomfortable market calls. His latest warning is one of his sharper reversals: the artificial intelligence boom, he argues, may now be so overheated t
Worldcoin was supposed to be one of the market’s easiest targets during a crypto downturn. It is controversial, heavily associated with biometric identity, exposed to regulatory scrutiny, and still fighting skepticism over tokenomics. Yet while most major crypto assets have been struggling through a
Arthur Hayes has never been subtle about macro trades. When the former BitMEX chief and Maelstrom CIO sees a narrative forming, he tends to say the quiet part out loud. This time, the trade is privacy. Not privacy as a cypherpunk slogan, not privacy as a niche feature buried in wallet settings, but
For years, the crypto industry treated artificial intelligence as a growth story. Founders pitched AI trading agents, autonomous DeFi assistants, productivity tools, and automated customer service systems as the next major wave of innovation. But a new report from Binance Research suggests the most
The AI industry has spent the last two years obsessing over model intelligence, who has the best reasoning model, the best coding assistant, the best multimodal system. But while Silicon Valley raced to build smarter agents, a far more practical problem quietly emerged: autonomous AI still can’t actu
Brian Armstrong did not try to soften the message. The Coinbase CEO informed employees that the crypto exchange is cutting roughly 14% of its workforce, but the layoffs themselves were not the most important part of the announcement. The real story was buried in the rationale: Armstrong explicitly s
In a market saturated with AI narratives, most projects promise intelligence. Bittensor is doing something far more ambitious: it’s building an open, incentivized intelligence network where models compete, collaborate, and get paid in real time. And lately, the momentum around Bittensor hasn’t just p
Ethereum has long been treated as untouchable, a foundational layer of the crypto economy, second only to Bitcoin in cultural and financial gravity. But that assumption is starting to crack. A growing number of macro thinkers, including Arthur Hayes, are now entertaining a scenario that would have so
The crypto market has always been a story of cycles, but the next one is shaping up to look fundamentally different. Not because of regulation, not because of retail hype, and not even because of Bitcoin halvings alone, but because of a new force quietly entering the system: AI-driven capital allocat
Something unusual is happening at the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence, and it’s accelerating fast. In just a matter of months, on-chain registrations for AI agents under the ERC-8004 standard have surged from a negligible 337 to more than 162,000. This isn’t incremental growth.
The decentralized AI narrative just hit a wall. Bittensor, widely seen as a flagship project at the intersection of crypto and artificial intelligence, is facing a serious credibility challenge after a high-profile departure exposed internal tensions. Covenant AI, a key contributor to the ecosystem,
