ChatGPT Is Losing Ground to Rivals—Here Are Some Numbers

Ramp lead economist Ara Kharazian called it “a stunning reversal.” A year ago, only 9% of businesses on the platform were paying for Anthropic at all. That number has now quadrupled. OpenAI, meanwhile, grew its business adoption by just 0.3% over the same 12 months.  The engine behind Anthropic‘s business surge is largely Claude Code, the company’s agentic coding tool, which has been expanding rapidly in developer teams at firms of every size. Ubers CTO publicly noted the company blew through its entire 2026 AI budget in four months—driven largely by Claude Code usage—with per-engineer monthly API costs running between $500 and $2,000.  One nuance the Ramp data can‘t fully capture: OpenAI pushed back through a spokesperson, noting that its biggest enterprise deals don’t flow through corporate cards. “We are driving enterprise transformation at scale,” the company said, per Axios. “These are not engagements where customers pay with a credit card.” That‘s a fair point—Ramp’s methodology captures a wide but imperfect slice of business spending.  Still, Ramp doesn‘t think the lead will be easy to hold. The report flagged three specific risks: Anthropic’s token-based pricing model incentivizes pushing users toward more expensive models; Claude has experienced service outages and quality complaints in recent

Best New Crypto Launches to Watch, With Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Gaining Fast Attention

The meme coin category is back on track in 2026, yet this time, the trend seems quite different from the previous iterations characterized by short-term hype and price action. Investors are becoming pickier, with an emphasis on projects that are not only popular in the community but also have some sort of practical use case.  While speculation continues to dominate much of the crypto market, todays investors place more value on the ability to scale the ecosystem, tokenomics, sustainability past the launch period, and overall growth potential. From among the recent crypto coin offerings, one of the projects making waves is Little Pepe (LILPEPE).  The project recently crossed the $28 million mark in presale funding, adding another major milestone to what has already become one of the fastest-growing meme coin launches this year. At the centre of the discussion is the fact that Little Pepe is not positioning itself as a standard meme token.  The project combines meme culture with its own Layer-2 blockchain infrastructure, aiming to create a faster and cheaper ecosystem built specifically for meme-driven applications.  The Meme Coin Market is Shifting Toward Projects with Utility  Meme coins were mostly associated with viral momentum, celebrity attention, and short-term speculation. Traders are rewarding projects

US Dollar Index climbs to two-week high as Fed rate hike bets intensify

In the daily chart, Dollar Index Spot trades at 98.83. The near-term tone is mildly constructive as price holds above the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 98.53, but remains capped just below the 50-day SMA at 98.99, keeping the broader range intact. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 54.15 has recovered from earlier levels near 40, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram turns slightly positive, hinting that bullish pressure is rebuilding, albeit under nearby trend resistance.  On the topside, immediate resistance emerges at the 50-day SMA clustered around 98.99, with a subsequent barrier at the horizontal level near 99.50, and a more significant cap at 100.50 if buyers extend the advance. On the downside, initial support is provided by the 200-day SMA at 98.53, ahead of stronger structural demand at 97.50, where a break would expose a deeper corrective phase within the broader consolidation.

Dune Cuts 25% of Staff and Bets on AI to Power Crypto Datas Next Chapter – Bitcoin News

Dune Cuts 25% of Staff, Bets Future on AI and Institutional Onchain Data  Haga announced the cuts this week, framing the decision as a restructuring rather than a retreat. “We‘re restructuring Dune to sharpen our focus around the core data products thousands of customers across the industry rely on,” he said. “That unfortunately means we’ve let 25% of the team go this week.”  Dune, founded in 2018, built its reputation by making onchain data accessible to analysts, developers, and companies through SQL-based dashboards. The company says it has since constructed a full-stack data infrastructure covering ingestion, quality assurance, storage, cleaning, normalization, and querying.  Haga pointed to two areas driving the company forward: AI integration and institutions entering onchain markets. “Going forward, Dune is all-in on two shifts: AI and institutions coming onchain,” he wrote.  The centerpiece of Dunes AI strategy is Dune MCP, a product that allows teams and AI agents to build dashboards and workflows without SQL knowledge or data infrastructure experience. Haga says the tool puts Dune in a position no competitor currently occupies.  “Were the only player who has done the hard work of building the end-to-end stack for data,” he said. “With Dune MCP, teams and agents can now build dashboards

Beyond the Shiba Inu price prediction: Why savvy investors are also watching Poly Truth

AI crypto coins are pulling attention from pure meme demand  AI crypto projects are gaining interest because they connect token use to data, automation, and market research. That makes the story different from older meme coins that rely mostly on social buzz.  Poly Truth fits that shift through prediction market intelligence. The project is built to read active prediction events across sports, politics, crypto, and other markets, then show which outcome has stronger data support.  The process has three moving parts.The Runners collect event data.The Starlet compares sources and calculates probability scores.The Presenter turns the work into a clear event brief.  This gives PTRUE a clear place in the AI crypto trend. It connects the token to access, staking, and future use inside a system built around data-backed prediction analysis.What comes next for SHIB and AI tokens  The next Shiba Inu price prediction depends on whether memecoin demand can return with enough force. SHIB still has the name, the community, and the exchange access to stay relevant.  Still, the path to another huge move looks harder than it did in the early memecoin boom. SHIB now needs larger capital inflows to move sharply because its market cap is already far above that of smaller tokens.  Meanwhile, Poly

Fed: Holding pattern extends into 2027 – TD Securities

TD Securities economists Oscar Munoz and team revise their Fed outlook, now projecting no rate cuts in 2026 as persistent inflation pressures from the Iran conflict, elevated Oil and strained supply chains delay disinflation. They still anticipate policy easing in 2027 back toward a 3% neutral rate, but warn the FOMCs bar for cuts is rising and hawkish risks remain.  No cuts as inflation risks linger  “We are revising our Fed call and no longer expect rate cuts in 2026. With the Iran conflict in a stalemate, oil prices still high, and supply chains stressed, we no longer see inflation progress as feasible this year. Additional easing in 2027 is still our base case once impacts from Iran subside.”  “We no longer look for rate cuts this year, as the inflation calculus will turn more problematic over the next few months. We remain optimistic regarding policy easing in 2027 (75bps starting in March), as we continue to expect the Fed to eventually bring policy back to our estimate of neutral at 3%. However, we cannot discard the possibility of the Fed staying on hold for even longer with numerous risks threatening the inflation outlook.”  “Absent an unexpected deterioration in the labor market or an
