JUST IN: Hyperliquid now trades more oil, gold, and silver than crypto.


Tether AI breakthrough Tether AI team just released new version of QVAC Fabric to include the World’s First Cross-Platform BitNet LoRA Framework to Enable Billion-Parameter AI Training and Inference on Consumer GPUs and Smartphones. Background Microsoft's BitNet uses one bit architecture to dramatically compress models. Traditional LLMs operate on full-precision computation, where weights are stored as complex, high-resolution numbers. The innovation of BitNet is that it shrinks these weights into a tiny ternary range of only -1, 0, and 1. significantly reducing memory usage and computation. LoRA, is a parameter-efficient fine-tuning technique that reduces the number of trainable parameters by up to ninety-nine percent. Together they slash memory and compute requirements. Yet BitNet has mostly been limited to CPU or CUDA NVIDIA backends, and lacked the support of LoRA fine-tuning. Enters QVAC Fabric: the unlock Today, with QVAC Fabric LLM, is the first time BitNet LoRA fine-tuning and inference work cross-platform across GPU vendors and operating systems using Vulkan and Metal backends. That means support for AMD, Intel, Apple Metal and also Mobile GPUs. And for the first time ever, BitNet inference runs efficiently on smartphones using mobile GPUs. On flagship devices, GPU inference is 2 to 11 times faster than CPU while using up to 90% less memory than the full precision models. The biggest unlock: QVAC Fabric LLM support for BitNet LoRA fine-tuning on heterogeneous GPUs. Our team was able to demonstrate this by fine tuning models up to 3.8 billion parameters on all flagships phones such as Pixel 9, S25 and iPhone 16 and up to 13 billion parameter models on the iPhone 16. Github repositories: github.com/tetherto/qvac-… : general QVAC Fabric codebase github.com/tetherto/qvac-… : specific QVAC Fabric's BitNet knowledge base, architecture docs and pre-built binaries What does it mean? What used to require dedicated GPUs now runs on consumer hardware. This breakthrough is the first real-world signal of a local private AI that can truly serve the people. And this is just the beginning. In the next months and years Tether will relentlessly continue to invest significant amounts of resources and capital to continue to research and develop open-source intelligence that can scale and evolve on local devices, providing maximum utility and privacy to its users. The era of Stable Intelligence has just begun. Free as in freedom.



H.E. Wamkele Mene met with Robert Thomson, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Government Affairs at Visa. During the meeting, H.E. Mene presented the key pillars of the AfCFTA Digital Trade Protocol, highlighting the continent’s readiness to collaborate with the private sector where the provisions of the Protocol align with business operations and innovation models. Discussions focused on how Visa can position itself to support the implementation of selected provisions, including collaboration under ADAPT, cross-border data sharing, and digital trade facilitation. #AfCFTA #DigitalTrade #PublicPrivatePartnerships #FinancialInnovation #AfricaDigital


📣 New digital asset listing: @iota is now available to trade on Bullish in eligible regions.


Decentralized Identity. Leveraging the @IOTA identity framework, TWIN is evaluating the Eclipse Decentralized Claims Protocol. This handles participant identity assertions and credential issuance, offering a decentralized alternative to – or extension of – standard OpenID flows. 6/9

🔥 What IOTA signaled back in December is no longer speculation — it’s now boiling. Negotiations with several ASEAN countries are starting to bear fruit, and the momentum is becoming impossible to ignore 🚀 This won’t come as a single announcement or a one-shot mega deal. This is a real fight, slow and structurally complex. ASEAN is not a monolith. Some countries operate with multiple layers of government, overlapping authorities, parallel ministries, and fragmented regulatory powers. Progress often means multiple negotiations within the same country — not one table, but many. Nothing here is simple. Nothing is automatic. And yet, progress is happening: 💎 Some authorities are already signing 💎 Others are locking regulatory frameworks 💎 Others have clear timelines in motion The agreements won’t arrive all at once. They will come country by country, case by case, structure by structure. And yes — this is being fought hard, on every front. A reminder for those still underestimating it 👀ASEAN represents more than 650 million people. One of the most dense, productive, and strategic regions on the planet. This is not the periphery. This is the core. And here’s a detail many still overlook: several ASEAN countries already operate under some of the most advanced legal frameworks in the world for tokenization and RWAs. Pragmatic, infrastructure-ready legislation. Unique regulatory environments, designed for real adoption — not theory. If anyone thought AfCFTA was the final destination, they were wrong. It was only the beginning. We already speculated months ago about negotiations underway with Vietnam. The question now isn’t whether they exist. The real question is 👇 Is Vietnam the country with the most advanced negotiations? Or is there another one, with equally mature negotiation tables and a well-defined timeline, moving in parallel? Mmmmm… The pieces are being positioned ♟️ And not all of them are visible yet. #IOTA #ASEAN #AfCFTA #RWA #Vietnam
