$TRON surpasses 15B total transactions with 12.13M daily average

Another whale, 0x3ad3, spent $1M to buy 16.02M $CASHCAT.

Renowned crypto KOL Ansem has published a post noting that the crypto market is showing signs of forming a bottom. First, prices have begun to demonstrate resilience amid negative news: for example, when Saylor sold millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin (BTC) in the $58,000–$60,000 range, BTC continued to form higher lows. Second, crypto-native mobile applications are seeing real user growth: Pump.fun’s weekly revenue rose 20%, and Fomo surpassed 100,000 users in a week. Institutional interest is also rebounding, including progress on Robinhood Chain and billionaire Paul Tudor Jones’ public bullish outlook on BTC. Furthermore, crypto-related content has regained traction on social media. Ansem stated that a new bull market could be further confirmed if on-chain tokens continue to hit higher highs after their first volume-driven peak, the number of holders of popular tokens keeps growing, mainstream media refocuses its coverage, developers test new on-chain mechanisms, and successful protocols provide incentives via airdrops.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, whale address 0x3ad3 spent $1 million to acquire 16.02 million CASHCAT tokens.

ElizaOS founder Shaw published a statement saying the ai16z token is "completely dead", and the related foundation is gradually winding down operations. There are currently no funds available for token buybacks, nor will new funds or token supply be provided to support the market. He no longer holds any related tokens, and will not support the launch of an Eliza token in the future. Shaw stated that Burwick previously filed a lawsuit against the project; the team lacked funds for legal defense, eventually reaching a settlement with some holders and handing over the remaining treasury and funds. He added that he never sold ai16z tokens and did not profit from the project beyond a salary on par with other engineers. The team will continue developing Eliza and its underlying operating system, planning to restart operations free from the pressures of tokens, launchpads, and community price fluctuations. Intellectual property related to Eliza remains in his possession, and he will focus on localization, privacy protection, and cryptocurrency-enabled agent technology moving forward. Shaw also noted that he still recognizes blockchain technology, but is pessimistic about the current industry’s overemphasis on speculation, prediction markets, and meme coin culture. By contrast, he believes the AI community is more focused on building products.

Web3 game developer Proof of Play announced in a statement that the company will cease operations. The team noted that when founded, it believed blockchain games held the potential to drive the next generation of decentralized internet, but ultimately failed to build a scalable product to validate this vision and a sustainable business model. Proof of Play will open its source code and art resources as much as possible, including the Pirate Nation Unity application, Pirate Nation smart contracts, and more. The Founder Pirates NFTs, Pirate Nation artworks, intellectual property, and trademarks have also been released under the CC0 license. The Pirate Nation Foundation is independent of Proof of Play, and will continue to support the PIRATE token while its website remains operational. However, Proof of Play points will no longer be redeemable for any content. Additionally, Shiba Story Go! has been acquired by a third party and will operate independently going forward.
