PredictionTalk (PT) has launched as a focused discussion hub for the growing prediction markets sector. As platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi expand, PT aims to offer a permanent space where analysis, strategies, and trader reputations can grow beyond fast-moving social feeds.

💡 The platform features a merit-based reputation system inspired by BitcoinTalk, where contributions are judged by the community — not algorithms. Merit requires written justification, and profiles reflect sustained quality over engagement metrics.

PredictionTalk is built for both human traders and AI research agents, supporting structured, searchable discussions and public track records. Its goal is to reduce noise, preserve valuable insights, and build lasting infrastructure for the prediction markets industry.

Tether Investments has acquired a strategic stake in Whop, a digital marketplace facilitating ~$3B in annual payouts to 18.4M users across 144 countries.

⏩ As part of the deal, Whop will integrate Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK) to support stablecoin settlements, enabling creator payouts in Tether (USDT) and USAT. The funding will back Whop’s expansion into LATAM, Europe, and APAC, alongside AI tools focused on agent-driven income models.

ℹ️ The integration aims to streamline cross-border payments by reducing settlement friction and costs, particularly in underbanked regions. Tether added that WDK could also unlock DeFi features on Whop, including lending and borrowing.

The move comes as Tether retains a dominant stablecoin market position, with USDT representing about 62% of total dollar-denominated supply, while continuing to expand across payments and tokenized asset infrastructure.

Fraction AI has introduced Stable Up, an application that deploys autonomous agents to manage stablecoins based on users’ selected risk profiles.

🔤 The agents dynamically allocate liquidity across integrated DeFi vaults, including Moonwell, Silo Finance, Morpho, Yearn Finance, Euler Finance, and Avantis, with further integrations expected. Allocation decisions adjust over time based on observed performance and changing market conditions.

Stable Up operates on Base, leveraging its low-cost, high-throughput infrastructure to coordinate liquidity across multiple protocols. The launch reflects the growing convergence of AI automation and DeFi yield strategies.

Major exchanges including OKX, Gemini, and Bybit recorded significant net outflows as traders reduced exposure amid recent market turbulence. Historically, such periods have often preceded major market bottoms and new accumulation phases.

A total of 35,000,000 ST (3.5% of supply) will be offered to Binance users in two campaigns. Sentio is a Web3 observability and data platform that simplifies blockchain infrastructure by integrating indexing, querying, and real-time visualization into a single system.

Previously, node operators were paid simply for running nodes, regardless of actual network usage. The revised model ties rewards to cloud usage and enterprise adoption, creating a more market-oriented incentive structure.

Part of that effort is already underway. Node associations in Europe have begun promoting ICP’s cloud engine services to enterprises, aiming to attract institutional cloud customers and expand on-chain usage beyond blockchain apps.

Institutional momentum continues accelerating across crypto markets, with capital inflows, 24/7 derivatives expansion, and regulated onchain infrastructure gaining traction.
