-61% Bullish Shiba Inu (SHIB) Metric Plummets in Last 24 Hours

Tech　　-61% Bullish Shiba Inu (SHIB) Metric Plummets in Last 24 HoursShiba Inu outflows get thinnerAnother sign of a divergence　　Despite ongoing price chart weakness, Shiba Inu shows a shift in on-chain activity. Exchange outflow pressure, one of SHIBs historically important metrics, has drastically decreased over the last 24 hours, possibly signaling reduced movement of funds away from exchanges.　　Shiba Inu outflows get thinner　　The average exchange outflow decreased by more than 21% over the previous day, according to the most recent on-chain data, and after weeks of high activity, broader outflow-related metrics also began to stabilize. Practically speaking, fewer SHIB tokens are being withdrawn from exchanges. That change may indicate that traders and larger holders are becoming less aggressive in repositioning assets during the current period of uncertainty.　　SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingView　　The significant decrease in exchange-related transaction pressure after a protracted bearish period is the metric garnering the most attention. Exchange reserves are still comparatively stable at 80.8 trillion SHIB, but outflow acceleration has significantly decreased in comparison to earlier phases.　　Bitcoin (BTC), Hyperliquid (HYPE), Zcash (ZEC), Dogecoin (DOGE) and Ethereum (ETH) Price Analysis for May 23: Fundamental Shift in Investors Sentiment　　Fidelity: Bitcoin in Early Bull Market　　Strong outflow spikes and sharp price swings have historically

AI infrastructure race heats up as IREN pitches full-stack strategy, WhiteFiber lands $160M deal

IREN (IREN) co-founder Daniel Roberts outlined an ambitious vision for the company as a vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform in a lengthy X post on Friday, arguing that the biggest bottleneck in artificial intelligence is no longer chips, but physical infrastructure.　　“AI demand grows exponentially. Infrastructure doesnt,” Roberts wrote, pointing to growing constraints around power, land, cooling and data center construction.　　Roberts said IRENs strategy is built around three layers: physical infrastructure such as power and data centers, compute infrastructure including NVIDIA GPUs and servers, and enterprise software and operational tooling.　　“Layers 1 and 2 are where the overwhelming majority of IRENs value is being created today,” Roberts wrote. “Layer 3 is where that advantage compounds further over time.”　　The company, formerly known as Iris Energy, has expanded beyond bitcoin mining into AI infrastructure, a wider trend that has been seen in the industry, with projects spanning Texas, British Columbia, Oklahoma, Spain and Australia. Roberts said IREN has secured roughly 5 gigawatts of grid-connected capacity globally.　　He argued that owning the full stack creates a long-term competitive moat as AI demand accelerates globally, particularly in underserved regions such as Europe and Asia-Pacific.　　The thread also highlighted IRENs growing relationship with NVIDIA (NVDA), including a recently announced

With Presale Funding Now Above $7 Million, Ozak AI Enters a New Growth Phase Marked by Steady Capital Inflows

Tech　　With Presale Funding Now Above $7 Million, Ozak AI Enters a New Growth Phase Marked by Steady Capital Inflows　　Ozak AI ($OZ) is currently in a decisive phase of its presale campaign, having successfully raised more than $7 million. This achievement will likely kick off a positive trend among investors. Since its inception, Ozak AI has not hidden its intentions of focusing on an AI crypto project based on the combination of AI technology and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks). The more investors pour into the project, the more their actions seem to shift to conviction buying.　　Breaking the $7 million milestone puts Ozak AI in the fastest-growing AI presale of the year, considering that capital is currently moving away from meme coins and towards utility-driven platforms and projects that have made meaningful progress. Moving away from meme coins reveals that Ozak AI is now no longer considered an experiment, but rather an infrastructure play.　　Key Presale Data Indicate Increasing Demand　　The presale of Ozak AI is at this point in the current stage of presale, with the cost fixed at $0.014 for each OZ. After the presale has raised millions of dollars, as well as allocated several hundred million tokens, the percentage completion

NEAR Protocol spikes 21% as Worldcoin and AI infrastructure coins attract fresh flows

CoinGeckos Top 100 Token gainers. Source: CoinGecko.Why are NEAR and AI tokens leading today　　CoinMarketCap data shows that Worldcoins (WLD) token followed as the second best performer, gaining 12.39 to about 0.2947, while Artificial Superintelligence Alliances (FET)token advanced 9.05 to 0.2105 over the same period. Both tokens sit at the intersection of identity or AI infrastructure and crypto, underscoring how speculative capital continues to cluster around artificial intelligence narratives even as many large caps trade sideways.　　Quant‘s QNT token also broke higher, adding 8.76% on the day to roughly 79.28, while modular data availability project Celestia’s TIA climbed 8.74 to around 0.445. These gains come after periods of heavy drawdowns for both projects, with earlier analysis noting that TIA had suffered double digit intraday declines in January as emissions and weak demand weighed on price, and QNT remained well below its all time high above 400.　　What is driving the divergence with edgeX　　While major AI and infrastructure tokens pushed higher, edgeX was among the notable laggards in the same top 100 basket, falling 7.76 on the session. Data from market trackers shows edgeX currently trades around the 1.20 to 1.50 range with a market capitalization above 500 million and a 24 hour trading

Can The RBI Prevent The INR From Hitting 100 Per USD?

Tech　　Can The RBI Prevent The INR From Hitting 100 Per USD？　　Despite the capacity to defend the currency, top policy advisors—including leadership from the 16th Finance Commission – have signaled that defending a specific number can be counterproductive. The RBI is expected to allow a gradual depreciation past the 100 INR/USD mark due to several macroeconomic imperatives:Export Competitiveness: If global currencies weaken against a dominant US Dollar and the RBI maintains an artificially strong rupee, Indian exports become prohibitively expensive, which would significantly widen the trade deficit.Managing Oil Shocks: Since India imports approximately 88% of its crude oil, a weaker rupee facilitates structural demand destruction. This helps the economy naturally adjust to global energy shocks rather than relying on constant central bank intervention.Transition to Capital Mobilization: The central bank is increasingly shifting focus toward structural dollar generation. Key strategies include raising interest rates, incentivizing Foreign Non-Resident (FCNR) deposits, and encouraging Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) to issue foreign currency bonds.What Is the Future Outlook for the INR in 2026？　　Unless there is a significant de-escalation in global geopolitical conflicts or a sudden, sustained collapse in crude oil prices below $80 per barrel, the market is currently pricing in a standard 2% to 3%
