AMAZON ADDS $5B TO ANTHROPIC, EXPANDING COMMITMENT TO UP TO $25B Amazon is investing an additional $5 billion in Anthropic immediately, with up to $20 billion more tied to commercial milestones. The new round brings Amazon's total committed capital to the AI lab to as much as $33 billion, adding to its existing $8 billion stake. In exchange, @AnthropicAI has committed to spend more than $100 billion on @awscloud over the next ten years. The deal secures up to 5 gigawatts of capacity across Amazon's Trainium2, Trainium3, Trainium4, and future chip generations, plus tens of millions of Graviton CPU cores. The scale is unusually large even for hyperscaler-AI lab deals. Amazon booked a $9.5 billion mark-to-market gain on Anthropic's last financing round, and Anthropic workloads are now routed through AWS Project Rainier, a multi-gigawatt Trainium complex.

Bitcoin rally tied directly to war and financial system fractures Bitcoin’s recent rally is being driven directly by geopolitical conflict, Bitwise CIO, Matt Hougan, says. Since late February, Bitcoin $BTC has gained 12% despite broader market weakness. The S&P 500 has declined while gold has also seen notable losses. This divergence challenges the idea that Bitcoin behaves like a risk asset. Bitwise argues instability is increasing demand for neutral financial systems.

🚨 NEWS: ANTHROPIC SAYS CLAUDE CODE SUBSCRIBERS MUST PAY EXTRA FOR OPENCLAW USAGE @AnthropicAI announced that starting today, Claude Code subscribers can no longer use their subscription limits for third-party tools including OpenClaw. Anthropic's head of Claude Code Boris Cherny said their subscriptions were not built for usage patterns of third-party tools. Users will now need a separate pay-as-you-go option. OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger, who recently joined rival OpenAI, said he and OpenClaw board member Dave Morin tried to negotiate but could only delay the pricing change by a week.

Tokenized stocks might end up being as big as the entire crypto market- maybe even bigger because the underlying equities market is more than 20x larger. U.S. equities: $70 trillion, Crypto: $3 trillion. Kraken just acquired @BackedFi @tradeXYZ is already doing over $600M in daily volume with more than $150M in open interest. People still don’t realize how big of an impact @edeldotfinance can have. $EDEL is building the OS where investors can earn rent on stocks across all these rails.

$750T in global assets remain trapped in illiquid markets. Real-world assets (RWA) are finally being unlocked through digital rails - creating transparent access, better capital efficiency & global liquidity. We’re entering the era of Internet Capital Markets #ICM

I definitely think hyper-gambling will gain more adoption in the AI era. Stock markets will become even more volatile as people lose their real-world jobs, while the markets remain open as a way for them to try to get rich quickly. There will be two sub-sections of society: -The rich will survive by leveraging AI to work for them. -The average Joe will survive on universal basic income, or by plugging themselves into AI/humanoids to train and regulate them (which might last only a few years). The average Joe will then turn to gambling in the markets as a way to try to change their fortunes.

Realise has paid out $1M USD in dividends to investors over the past 12 months 💸 Yeah, you read that right - real yield, not hopium - all backed by a real-world business. Wanna get in before the next wave hits? 🌊 Keep your eyes peeled - next pool opening soon. ⏳ #RWA #RWB

Tokenized stocks market cap → $661M US equities market cap → $60T $ONDO Global Markets → $300M+ Almost half of the entire tokenized stock market already belongs to $ONDO This is only the warm-up phase of RWA adoption, giga bullish here Tokenized stocks hitting this valuation is huge for RWAs! We're seeing some serious growth here. NFA

🚨BlackRock CEO Larry Fink on CNBC: “We’re just at the beginning of RWA tokenization — from real estate to equity to bonds, across the board.” TRILLIONS INCOMING LFG! 🚀

Nock nock, who's there? 😉 A potential BTC 2.0 with ZK tech. Loving the thesis here, especially the Cobie soft-shills. bought a bag, lets ride! $NOCK 🔥

The past 12 hours have been the most brutal I have ever seen in crypto. I thought the Covid crash was the worst, but this was probably much worse- many big alts went down by 70–80% for a while due to a liquidation cascade. Talking in numbers: • Covid crash: $1.2 billion in liquidations • FTX crash: $1.6 billion in liquidations • Today: $30–40 billion in liquidations (estimated) This is the biggest liquidation event in the history of crypto almost 30–40 times larger than the COVID crash of March 2020. If you have survived this, kudos to you. If you lost significantly, all I can say is: be more focused, sit down, and assess what went wrong- how you could have played it differently and managed your risk better. If you couldn’t survive, my empathy is with you. Please feel free to DM me- we can discuss and figure out ways to rebuild yourself and your confidence. What’s next? I’ve survived the BTC crash from $21k to $3k- a brutal time when all my belief systems were destroyed and my mind went blank. I survived the Covid crash, the Luna/FTX/3AC cascade and even the Trump tariff mania crash. So, what I can tell you is: things will definitely get better over time. What do we do now? We reassess all our positions and slowly get rid of low-conviction ones. We look at all the tokens and see which ones were the strongest to bounce back. Ideally, focus on those with solid revenue streams and strong thesis/catalysts, and slowly redeploy into the market as we feel comfortable. GL Degens, Stay sharp.

Found a good competitor to Railgun ($270M)/Zcash ($3.5B), both of which are being shilled by Vitalik and Naval Sitting at just $6–6.5M MCap, backed by Base Eco Fund/Coinbase Ventures. $VEIL is a Base-native privacy protocol using zk-SNARKs, where verified users (Coinbase Onchain Verification, Binance BAB, Ethos reputation) can deposit, send, and withdraw privately. Privacy Stack Comparison: Both Veil cash and Railgun ($270M FDV) leverage zk-SNARKs for private DeFi on Ethereum-compatible chains: • Veil cash → Base-native, simpler UX, lower fees, verified users • Railgun → Multi-chain, more complex, higher fees • Zcash → Separate L1 using zk-SNARKs for shielded txns; strong privacy but high gas & low composability Backing: Backed by Base Ecosystem Fund / Coinbase Ventures. x.com/Veildotcash/st… Social Proof: • Followed by Base handle, Jesse (Base Lead), multiple Coinbase/Base team members, Alliance DAO founder, Scroll founder, and other top-tier accounts. x.com/Veildotcash/fo… • Founder Apex is also followed by: Base, Bankless founder, Horse, 0x Project, ZapperFi, Scroll, Syndicate, Definitive, Messari, Polymarket, Aerodrome, Framework Ventures, Eigenlayer, and more. x.com/apex_ether/fol… Narrative Fit: Ethereum Foundation has been actively pushing privacy protocols, and Veil fits perfectly into this emerging meta. x.com/ethereumfndn/s… Recognition & Partnerships: • Mentioned on Bankless alongside Tornado Cash & Privacy Pools x.com/apex_ether/sta… • Partnered with Maestro Bot x.com/MaestroBots/st… • Integrated with Ethos Network x.com/ethos_network/… • Featured on EthOS Phone x.com/apex_ether/sta… • Built a mini app on Farcaster x.com/Veildotcash/st… TL;DR: Base-native privacy primitive backed by Coinbase Ventures, already tied into Base’s growing ecosystem and on-chain identity stack (Coinbase Onchain, BAB, Ethos). If privacy meta catches hard- Veil cash could be the compliant, retail-friendly privacy layer for Base. At $6–7M MCap vs. Railgun’s $270M and Zcash’s $3.5B, the asymmetry is 🔥 dexscreener.com/base/0x7f1a5b6… CA: 0x767A739D1A152639e9Ea1D8c1BD55FDC5B217D7f
