Following a thousandfold surge, the crypto Meme project MEME extends its upward momentum, with its market capitalization breaking through $64 million to hit a new all-time high.
According to GMGN data, the stock-meme project MEME on Robinhood Chain has hit a new all-time high, with its market cap exceeding $64 million and currently trading at $52 million, surging over 1000 times in 24 hours and recording a trading volume of $49.1 million. Meanwhile, the public feud between Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and AMC CEO continues: the AMC CEO has slammed Robinhood’s tokenized US stocks as illegal, while Robinhood’s CEO quipped in response, “What’s there to worry about?” MEME leverages stock trading platform Robinhood, pairing with the tokenized US stock of AMC Entertainment (the American cinema chain with ticker AMC) as its liquidity pool, offering liquidity via the MEME/AMC trading pair. BlockBeats Note: Stock Meme is an emerging concept that combines traditional meme coins with tokenized US stocks: instead of pairing meme coins with USDT or ETH, they are directly matched with on-chain US stock tokens (such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, etc.). This model retains meme coins’ high volatility and community-driven speculative attributes, while tying to the popularity and narratives of real stocks. Typically, a portion of transaction fees flows back to the community treasury to accumulate corresponding US stock tokens, forming a dual-driven model of “sentiment speculation + real asset anchoring”. Prices are highly volatile; investors should exercise caution.

AI companies are growing increasingly wealthy, yet the hourly wage of security guards at their gates has risen by just 25 cents over four years.
Beating AI News Flash: Security personnel providing security services to office buildings of firms including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Salesforce have voted to approve strikes when necessary. The staff are mainly employed by third-party security companies such as Allied Universal and Securitas. No official strike announcement has been made yet; whether a strike will actually occur and its start date depend on upcoming labor negotiations, which have been underway for months.
The SEIU-USWW union is demanding a $30 hourly minimum wage, plus improved family health insurance, retirement benefits, and job security. The union states management proposed a total of just 25 cents in hourly wage increases over the next four years, with no raises for three of those years. The union currently represents around 14,000 security workers in the San Francisco Bay Area, Silicon Valley, and Los Angeles County.
The negotiations have already impacted AI companies' offices: Last week, Anthropic closed its San Francisco office and had employees work remotely after receiving a strike warning from Allied Universal, at a time when union members had not yet voted to approve strikes. That vote has now been completed. OpenAI and Anthropic have both faced security threats targeting their employees in recent years, and tech companies are continuously enhancing physical security.

Google’s Weather AI Gets Further Speed Boost: 5km-Resolution Forecasts, Updated Hourly
Beating AI News Flash: Google DeepMind and Google Research have released WeatherNext 3, a global weather forecasting model integrated directly with real-time global satellite observations, capable of regenerating global forecasts every hour.
The previous WeatherNext 2 operated on a 25-kilometer grid with 6-hour intervals; the new model boosts maximum grid resolution to approximately 5 kilometers for surface variables like temperature and humidity. Precipitation and snowfall forecasting were key focus areas for improvements. WeatherNext 3 was trained using NASA satellite precipitation data and radar data.
Google says that for forecasts of one day or longer, precipitation prediction accuracy can improve by up to 50%. Traditional AI weather models often produced overly vague forecasts for localized heavy rainstorms; this update primarily enhances details for such rapidly changing weather events.
WeatherNext 3 is now integrated with Google Search, Gemini, Maps, the Google Maps Platform Weather API, and Earth Engine. Developers can also access forecast data via BigQuery, Earth Engine, and Google Cloud Storage.
Traditional physical weather models will not disappear anytime soon. WeatherNext 3’s training still incorporates data from these models, and meteorological agencies typically combine multiple forecast sets when issuing disaster warnings. Google itself reminds users that severe weather and public safety warnings should still be based on local meteorological authorities.

Bonk Guy compares USELESS to PEPE from the last crypto cycle, hinting it could later stage a super rally to reach a multi-billion dollar market cap.
Trader Bonk Guy (Unipcs) posted that Solana ecosystem meme token USELESS has recorded $167 million in 24-hour spot trading volume, with perpetual contract volume surging to $1.87 billion. Open interest in perpetual contracts on Binance alone stands at $32 million, a scale that outpaces many blue-chip meme coins with far higher market caps.
Additionally, its spot volume, perpetual volume, open interest, and holder count have all hit all-time highs, with around 9,000 new holders added in the past week — all metrics typical of a bull market peak. Critically, these figures emerged before the broader market has fully embraced risk-on sentiment or the official start of the bull run, a detail many have overlooked.
In the last cycle, PEPE also saw a sharp surge in volume, leverage, holders, and attention long before the broader meme coin market exploded, later rallying to a multi-billion-dollar market cap and driving the entire meme season. I truly believe USELESS will follow a similar path: if it already posts bull-market-level data before the bull run accelerates, imagine what will happen when the overall market picks up. Many will likely regret not positioning early when the signal was so clear, as most are unprepared for the upcoming rally.
Per GMGN data, Solana meme token USELESS rose another 57% in the past 24 hours, pushing its market cap to $227 million. Notably, Bonk Guy himself holds 15.9 million USELESS tokens.
BlockBeats reminds users that meme coins generally have no real use cases, are highly volatile, and require caution when investing.
