Mark Zuckerberg Brings $1,299 Meta VR Glasses and a Muse Keychain to Connect 2026

Meta Platforms (META) unveiled Meta VR Glasses, priced at $1,299.99, at its Connect 2026 event. The company also previewed Muse Charm, a keychain device for its Muse artificial intelligence (AI) agent.　　Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg called it the companys first attempt at delivering virtual reality (VR) in glasses rather than a full headset. The lineup also includes camera-free audio glasses and a third-generation Ray-Ban Meta.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Meta VR Glasses Shrink a Headset to 100 Grams　　The glasses weigh about 100 grams, according to Meta. A cable links the frames to a compute puck that clips onto a pocket or bag. As a result, the puck handles processing while the frames stay light.　　Meta pitches the device as a private cinema, a multi-monitor workstation, and a game console. Users control it with voice, eye tracking, and hand gestures instead of controllers. However, battery life tops out at roughly three hours of media playback. The glasses ship in spring 2027.　　Meta VR Glasses — private cinema, a workstation with multiple monitors, and a game console in a pair of high-res glasses. Our first time delivering VR in glasses rather than a full headset — really a glimpse of the future. pic.twitter.com/WFisOAgpcJ　　— Mark Zuckerberg (@finkd) September 24, 2026　　The launch

Nvidia Now Leads Every Individual Stock Token On Robinhood's Blockchain

Out of nearly 200 tokenized stocks now live on Robinhood‘sown blockchain, only one thing sits ahead of Nvidia, and it isn’t a company. Its an index.　　I‘ve been tracking Robinhood Chain since its public mainnet went live, mostly expecting the usual pattern: a flashy launch, a memecoin frenzy, and tokenized equities trailing far behind as a footnote. That’s roughly how the first few weeks played out. But pull the current asset rankings today, and the picture looks different. Nvidia isn‘t just participating in Robinhood’s tokenized stock experiment, its leading it, and by a wide margin over every other individual company on the chain.　　Nvidia Leads Every Individual Stock Token On Robinhood Chain　　Robinhood‘s tokenized equities platform currently lists 194 live assets, spanning single stocks, ETFs, and commodity-backed tokens, according to the official Robinhood RWA dashboard on DefiLlama. Ranked by active assets-under-management, the NVIDIA Corp. • Robinhood Token holds roughly $20.1 million in AUM, more than SpaceX’s tokenized shares ($11.2 million), Meta ($6.73 million), Alphabet ($5.64 million), Apple ($5.25 million), and Tesla ($4.72 million) combined against most of that field individually.Discover more　　Crypto trading course　　Financial technology news　　bank　　That‘s not a marginal lead.

Solana (SOL) Surges 21% Weekly Despite Yearly Decline as ETF Inflows Accelerate

Key HighlightsSOL reaches $117 following a 21% weekly surge but sits 44% lower than its price from one year ago.A 152% increase would be required for SOL to reach its $295 peak recorded in January 2025.Network fees have plummeted 97%, declining from $33 million daily to approximately $1 million.U.S. Solana spot ETFs attracted $28.87 million in net inflows on September 22, bringing cumulative inflows to $1.47 billion.Technical analysts track the $119-$121 resistance band as the Alpenglow network upgrade approaches on September 28.　　Solana currently trades at $116.87 following a sharp 21% rally across the past seven days. Despite this recent strength, the digital asset remains down 44% compared to its value twelve months earlier. Recovering to its peak of $295—reached in January 2025—would require an additional 152% advance from current levels.　　Solana (SOL) Price　　That January high coincided with a memecoin trading frenzy, partially fueled by the launch of the TRUMP token. Network fees reached $33 million per day during that period. Current daily fees hover around $1 million, representing a 97% decline.　　The circulating supply of Solana has expanded since that earlier peak. Approximately 587 million SOL tokens are now in circulation. A return to $295 per token would produce a network valuation

Neutron DAO passes a new proposal, and $9.3M in crypto disappears

Neutron voters passed proposal #9 on Sept. 22, with 11 “Update Admin” actions listed on the chain explorer. The same day, security tracker SlowMist recorded estimated losses of $4.9 million at Astroport and $4.4 million at Drop.　　The trackers combined estimate of $9.3 million reflects the reported incidents.　　Neutron‘s governance documentation calls its DAO the network’s highest governing authority and describes its power to execute messages through governance. “Update Admin” is the action identified on the proposal index.　　In practical terms, the network‘s governance process can change control of a contract’s administrator, even when users experience Astroport or Drop as separate services.　　The proposal was titled “AIATO: AI Agent Takeover. Phase 1: Agent Admin Registration.” The explorer marks it as passed and lists 11 administrator updates.　　That count describes the proposals administrative scope. SlowMist names Astroport and Drop in its Sept. 22 records.　　Neutron DAO approved 11 Update Admin actions as SlowMist estimated $9.3 million in combined Astroport and Drop incidents.　　The proposal shows the chain-level route to changing administrators, while the SlowMist entries show the reported financial impact at two applications. Together they point to a risk that is easy to overlook when assessing an application only by its procedures: network governance may retain consequential authority

Bitcoin bull market ‘confirmed’ but $90K presents profit-taking risk: Analysis

Bitcoin (BTC) faces its “next real test” at $90,000 as traders continue to return to unrealized profit.　　Key points:Bitcoin profit-takers may stall BTC price upside at $90,000, CryptoQuant predicts.Onchain signals, including price reclaiming its 365-day moving average at $80,500, led analysts to call the start of the next bull market.CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju sees future cycle tops and bottoms as shallower thanks to institutional ownership.　　Profit-taking means “natural pause” for BTC price at $90,000　　In its latest weekly report issued on Tuesday, onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant warned that the area around $90,000 will bring increased odds of profit-taking should price reach it.　　Bitcoin traders realized price — the average acquisition price of BTC that last moved onchain between one and three months ago — currently sits at $64,300. CryptoQuant data shows upper and lower bands around this level, signifying profit or loss margins for this cohort of the supply. The “upper band” for profit-taking sits at $90,300, or 40% above the realized price.　　“The upper band coincides with the $88K–$90K on-chain supply cluster, making it the next resistance to clear. Historically, as price approaches the upper band, trader profit margins stretch and selling can intensify — a natural pause point within an uptrend, not

XRP Is Flashing 3 Bullish Signals Heading Into a Historically Weak October

XRP (XRP) is still flashing 3 bullish signals across its holders, derivatives, and ETF data. These signals come as the token gave back part of its September gains on Thursday.　　The token traded near $1.50 at press time, down about 6.3% over 24 hours, according to BeInCrypto Markets data. The pullback still leaves XRP up over 15.6% on the week, a gain that tracks a broader market rally.　　XRP (XRP) Price Performance.

The altcoins 365-day market value to realized value (MVRV) ratio sits near -11.75%, according to data from Santiment. A negative reading means the average wallet active over that period sits at a loss.　　Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Chainlink (LINK) hover slightly over 0%, while Dogecoin (DOGE) sits deeper at -19.26%.　　According to Santiment, a low MVRV tends to limit downside because fewer holders have profits to take.

Bitcoin Whales Bought the Dip

Bitcoin breaks higher as large holders accumulate, but Wall Street money has also emerged as a major force behind the rally.　　Earlier this week, Bitcoin briefly tapped $87,000 for the first time since January before retracing and stabilizing near $84,000.　　But the “smart money” tier has continued to build its positions.　　Heavy Accumulation　　According to Santiment, Bitcoins whale wallets are stepping up accumulation. Wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC have added 113,950 units since July 15. Their total holdings have increased 2.22% to around 5.24 million. Santiment has tracked this wallet group for five years and found that its activity has often aligned closely with the broader crypto market. In the past, periods of heavy accumulation have appeared before or during stronger Bitcoin price moves.　　This trend has continued as the crypto asset climbed sharply from mid-August. The data not only indicates that large holders have continued buying during the rally but also shows that the recent surge is not being driven only by retail traders.　　The recovery and the subsequent rise in optimism come as Bitcoin cleared an important level after moving back above its 365-day moving average, which was around $80,500. The last time it made a similar move was back in March

PI price falls below $0.09 as bearish momentum returns

Pi Network price has fallen back below $0.09 on September 24 after its latest recovery failed near $0.093, leaving PI below its main daily moving averages as short term momentum weakened.　　According to the PI/USDT charts, Pi Network was trading near $0.0878 at the time of writing, after opening the daily session around $0.0881 and falling as low as $0.08765. The pullback followed an attempt to recover above $0.09 earlier this week, but buyers were unable to keep the token above that level.　　PI had already shown signs of losing momentum a day earlier. As crypto.news previously reported, the token reached $0.0926 on Sept. 23 before dropping back toward $0.088. The 50 day and 100 day moving averages were acting as overhead barriers during the move.　　Recent Pi Network developments have been more positive on the network side. More than 417,000 users were cleared to continue KYC, while Protocol V27 progressed through testing. The price response has remained limited despite those updates.　　Why is Pi Network price going down today？　　PIs latest decline comes after buyers failed to turn the recent move above $0.09 into a sustained breakout.　　The daily chart shows PI trading below its 20, 50, 100 and 200 day exponential moving averages.
