eToro agreed to acquire US online brokerage TradeZero for up to $231M in cash and new shares, its biggest move yet to expand in the American market.

Founded in 2015, TradeZero brings broker-dealer infrastructure, execution technology and access to Canada, on roughly $80M of revenue at an 81% gross margin. eToro says the deal is accretive in year one and adds an experienced active-trader team.

Unveiled alongside eToro's Q2 earnings beat, the acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.

The biggest AI companies in the world are still private, and normally that means only insiders and funds get exposure. Bitget changes that: its pre-IPO board lets you trade the names before they ever ring the bell, all USDT-margined and 24/7.

Three are live right now on Bitget: OpenAI at a reported ~$852B (20x), Anthropic at ~$965B (20x), and Moonshot AI, the team behind Kimi, at a rumored ~$50B (10x).

The startup is building a prime brokerage for prediction markets: a single terminal and API to trade every venue like Kalshi and Polymarket, with cross-exchange routing and the pro order types desks expect, such as icebergs, pegs and stop-losses.

It is pitched as institutional infrastructure for one of crypto's fastest-growing arenas, event contracts.

Anthropic is targeting a late September or early October IPO and has begun meeting investors, the Wall Street Journal reported, months after a confidential SEC filing that could bring one of the largest AI listings yet.

Recently valued near $965B, the AI lab has lined up Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley for a possible Nasdaq listing, as it races OpenAI to public markets. Separately, Anthropic said it will watermark the text and files its models generate, adding C2PA metadata to comply with the EU AI Act, applied worldwide.

The filing is confidential, so the timing stays unofficial and could shift with market conditions.

The hub will bring tokenized RWAs on-chain, much of it on Coinbase's Base network, as the exchange pushes institutional tokenization into the Middle East. ADGM has become a magnet for on-chain finance under the FSRA's virtual-asset framework.

It follows Coinbase taking exposure to a tokenized Mubadala Capital fund that has already drawn about $75M on-chain.

No matter what the market's doing — green, red, sideways — new projects keep launching every week. And the best window to get involved is the earliest one: before the token, before the crowd, while the door's still open.

We rounded up 12 fresh projects with open waitlists into one Early Access Radar — DePIN, perp DEXs, Neobanks, Prediction Markets. A few minutes each, all in one place, so you don't have to go hunting.

FlightAware sued Kalshi, alleging the prediction market used its flight-tracking data without permission to run flight-cancellation betting markets and falsely presented FlightAware as a partner.

The suit claims Kalshi violated FlightAware's trademark and contract rights, and seeks a temporary restraining order plus injunctions. FlightAware warns the markets could strand travelers, disrupt airline operations, and even push people toward unsafe actions.

It piles onto Kalshi's mounting legal troubles, from a New York illegal-gambling suit to blocked sports contracts in Washington and Michigan.

Anthropic signed a 20-year, $9.1B lease for 191 MW of capacity at Riot Platforms' Rockdale campus in Texas, per Bloomberg, marking the Bitcoin miner's biggest pivot into AI infrastructure.

The contract runs through June 2048, with full deployment targeted for June 2028 and 96 MW online by December 2027. Extension options could lift total revenue to $16.1B. Riot secured $573M from Morgan Stanley for initial construction, and its shares jumped about 25% after-hours.

It is the clearest sign yet of Bitcoin miners repurposing cheap power and ready-built sites into compute for the AI boom.

Vitalik Buterin overlaid his 2023 Ethereum roadmap onto the current plan, reshuffling and reprioritizing items rather than starting from scratch.

Quantum safety moves up the list, joining native rollups, strong default privacy, and AI-accelerated formal verification as headline priorities. Several original targets were deprioritized or replaced with what Vitalik called superior constructions.

The refresh signals where Ethereum's long-term research focus is heading, even as much of the 2023 plan still stands.
