The protocol combines global computing power into a single open network for machine learning. The raise sits at $66.7 million with a $500M pre-valuation. The investor list runs deep, with 13+ backers including major industry names.　　The thesis is straightforward. AI training requires massive compute.

Traders are cutting risk ahead of the Feds April decision as Middle East tensions, a blocked Strait of Hormuz and fragile crypto sentiment keep markets on edge.Pepperstone‘s Michael Brown says traders are cutting risk before the Federal Reserve’s April decision.Geopolitical tensions and a blocked Strait of Hormuz add to caution across global markets.Derivatives data show markets largely positioned for the Fed to hold rates steady into year-end.　　Traders are trimming exposure to risk assets ahead of the Federal Reserves latest interest rate decision, with Pepperstone analyst Michael Brown warning that many participants “will want to cut back on their positions” before the announcement at 2 a.m. Beijing time on April 30.　　Fed decision looms as traders de‑risk　　According to a recent Pepperstone FOMC preview, money markets are pricing virtually no chance of a policy move, with the federal funds rate expected to stay in a 3.50%–3.75% range and only around 12 basis points of easing priced by year‑end, implying roughly an even probability of just one 25‑basis‑point cut in 2026.　　In crypto markets, earlier this month traders have already been fading aggressive Fed‑cut bets for 2026 as U.S. unemployment fell to 4.3%, tempering the liquidity story for assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.　　Middle East conflict

Iran demands US concessions, narrowing path to diplomatic talks

Tech　　Iran demands US concessions, narrowing path to diplomatic talks　　Iran‘s Parliament Speaker’s Deputy made a hardline statement demanding American concessions, and the market for no US-Iran diplomatic meeting by June 30 now sits at 25.2% YES, up from 16% a day ago.　　The odds for no diplomatic meeting by June 30 have more than doubled over the past week, driven by Irans hardliner rhetoric. USDC trading volume is at $3,031/day, and just $838 is enough to shift the odds by 5 points, making this a thin and volatile market.　　Markets for Reza Pahlavis potential return to Iran and an Iranian leadership change have both seen YES odds decline, pointing to skepticism about any near-term regime shakeup. Trading volume in these markets is low, suggesting traders are waiting for clearer signals.　　The statement reinforces the position of hardliners like Ahmad Vahidi and makes a diplomatic breakthrough less likely. Tehrans rhetoric has narrowed the path to de-escalation through direct talks.　　For traders, a YES share at 25¢ offers a potential 4x return if no meeting occurs by the deadline. That bet requires believing no diplomatic venue will materialize in the coming weeks.　　Watch for statements from Oman, UAE, or Switzerland about hosting talks. Any such announcement could move

A 1-hour pattern showed a potential retracement after buying liquidity was absorbed near the lows, with traders divided over whether the longer-term move will continue lower or whether there will be a short-term recovery towards the intraday highs.　　Downsiders Still in Overall Ascendancy　　Valeriya Breakout said XAUUSD remains bearish, noting price provided a CHoCH to the downside and is still below a significant level. On her 4-hour chart, gold broke down from underneath a noted structure zone between $4,580-$4,590, with the price currently close to $4,572 and expected to move lower after a pullback into the noted supply zone.　　Additionally, the X chart shows the market is already out of its former bullish run. Price took its liquidity, structure turned over, and now the price is below the prior support zone. While the market remains below that mitigation zone, the

ZetaChain Confirms Attack on Platform, No User Funds Affected

ZetaChain said attackers exploited a cross-chain loophole on the network last Monday.The network confirmed that users funds remained safe despite a $334,000 loss.The attacker aligned 3 issues in the cross-chain messaging system to exploit ZetaChain.　　Layer 1 network ZetaChain officially confirmed a targeted exploit on its platform involving deliberate preparation, including Tornado Cash funding and wallet address spoofing.　　$334,000 Stolen Across Four Chains　　In its latest post on X, the ZetaChain team stated that the attack affected specific GatewayEVM arbitrary-call functionality, resulting in approximately $334K in losses across four connected chains.　　However, the blockchain network noted that the exploit did not affect cross-chain ZETA transfers or user funds.

Meta Offers Circles USDC Creator Payouts Via Solana, Polygon

Tech　　Meta Offers Circles USDC Creator Payouts Via Solana, Polygon　　Meta Platforms is back in the crypto game with stablecoins in focus. This time, the social media giant is offering creators payouts in stablecoins. For this, it will use USD Coin (USDC) on the Solana and Polygon blockchains.　　Meta Offers USDC Stablecoin Payout To Creators　　The functionality is in beta with a handful of creators in Colombia and the Philippines. The concept is straightforward yet important.　　Rather than waiting a few days for bank deposits or cross-border payment hurdles, creators can now receive their earnings in USDC almost immediately. Its worth noting that Meta had earlier hinted at stablecoin integration in February 2026.　　To use the feature, users will have to copy and paste a third-party wallet address into Facebooks payout system. This might be a straightforward process for cryptocurrency veterans, but it creates a barrier for those who are new to wallets and keys.　　What is also clear is there is a conscious lack of intervention from Meta in terms of fiat exchange. It doesnt offer conversion services to turn USDC into local currencies, so users have to do their own currency conversion. This enables Meta to stay out of the business of financial services while

Securitize-Computershare: 70T$ Tokenization Move - COINOTAG

Tech　　Securitize-Computershare: 70T$ Tokenization Move – COINOTAG　　How Does the Securitize-Computershare Agreement Affect the BTC Market？　　Tokenization specialist Securitize and transfer agent giant Computershare‘s agreement is bringing the US stock market’s massive $70 trillion volume to blockchain infrastructure. Thanks to this BlackRock-backed partnership, publicly traded companies can issue blockchain-based shares without disrupting the existing market structure. Tokenized equity products called Issuer-Sponsored Tokens (ISTs) are offered alongside traditional shares, giving investors the option to hold them via digital wallets or classic systems. This move brings Wall Street‘s traditional mechanisms closer to blockchain tracks. As we saw in the BTC detailed analysis, such integrations accelerate BTC’s institutional adoption.　　ISTs and Computershares BTC-Compatible Transfer Services　　The system positions Computershare as the transfer agent for tokenized shares as well; it manages company records, processes dividend distributions and stock splits in both traditional and digital formats. Securitize provides the infrastructure, but blockchain elements stay in the background. This structure abandons the derivative token tactic commonly used in the crypto world and promises direct ownership. While serving more than 25,000 companies, Computershare supports approximately 58% of the S&P 500 index as a transfer agent. Names like Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo and Computershare North America Issuer Services CEO Ann Bowering emphasize that
