There is a rare kind of talent in the tech ecosystem: the kind that turns a weekend project into a global phenomenon, and does so with no backers, no offices and no PR agency. Peter Steinberger, an Austrian developer with a long track record in the iOS app world, is the most recent case of this species. In the space of just a few months, he built from scratch what is now called OpenClaw, formerly known as Clawdbot, then as Moltbot, changing its name twice for reasons that speak for themselves, and on 14 February announced that he was joining…

The pace of release of artificial intelligence models in 2026 has now surpassed that of the tech industry’s canonical cycles, and Anthropic is the most striking proof of this. On 17 February, the company founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers launched Claude Sonnet 4.6, officially calling it the most capable Sonnet model ever. This is not an incremental upgrade: it is a complete upgrade on all major operational dimensions, from coding to reasoning over long contexts, from agent planning to autonomous computer use, to design and knowledge work. This is the second significant release of Anthropic in less than…

There is a fine line between visionary gamble and financial trap, and the crypto market crosses it with embarrassing frequency. Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal, one of Facebook’s historical backers, and an iconic figure in American venture capital, notified the SEC through a Form 13G amendment that he had completely wiped out his stake in ETHZilla Corporation, the Nasdaq-listed company that had built its identity around the systematic accumulation of Ethereum as a corporate treasury asset. The news, which emerged on Tuesday 17 February, confirmed with cold bureaucratic precision what the graph of the ETHZ share had already been…

As the crypto market experiences weeks of brutal volatility and bitcoin hovers below $70,000 after touching $126,000, Michael Saylor has no doubts: “We will never sell.” In an interview Tuesday on CNBC’s Squawk Box with Andrew Ross Sorkin, Strategy’s executive chairman reiterated that the company will continue to buy bitcoin “every quarter, forever,” regardless of the market’s direction in the short term. His prediction is as bold as his positioning: over the next four to eight years, bitcoin will ‘double or triple’ the returns of the S&P 500 index, rendering the tactical swings that terrorise intraday traders irrelevant. Saylor’s words…

While the cryptocurrency market watches closely every move of Bitcoin and Ethereum, Tether Holdings is quietly writing a structural growth story that says more than any price chart. The company behind USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin with a market capitalisation of $185 billion, has announced that it will hire 150 new employees over the next 18 months, bringing the total workforce from around 300 to 450 by mid-2026. We are not talking about a cosmetic expansion, but an almost complete doubling of the workforce that marks the transition from an agile start-up to a global system infrastructure. The most interesting…

K33 sees ‘uncanny’ similarities in price action, but less likelihood of a -80% drop; meanwhile, Ethereum treasury and DeFi prime brokerage change the rules. Bitcoin ‘s 40 per cent drop from its October highs has reopened a drawer the market likes to keep close at hand: the ‘four-year cycle’, with its liturgy of euphoria, distribution and volume desertification. K33, a research and brokerage firm, does not deny that the intonation of the latest sell-off has something familiar, indeed: head of research Vetle Lunde speaks of ‘uncanny similarities’ with the deep sell-offs of 2018 and 2022, where market behaviour tends to…

The year 2026 opened with a clear message: the game is no longer ‘crypto versus traditional finance’, but ‘crypto within traditional finance’. The most explicit signal came from Tether, which announced the official launch of USA₮ (ticker USAT), a dollar-anchored stablecoin designed to operate in the US market within the new federal framework provided by the GENIUS Act. This move is far from cosmetic: for years USDT has been the de facto industry standard, but it was not born under a US federal regulatory regime and was not distributed directly by Tether to US users. With USAT, however, the company…

If there is one thing the crypto market continues to do better than anyone else, it is turn every technological novelty into a financial arena in a matter of days. In January 2026, this dynamic exploded in four different directions, seemingly unconnected but in fact daughters of the same matrix: attention, liquidity and infrastructure. On the one hand, the hype of artificial intelligence ‘packaged’ in tokens on Solana; on the other, the rise of predictive markets as a new real-time media; in the middle, the concrete promise of spending digital assets in everyday life; in the background, Ethereum cutting fees…

The vision of a national strategic cryptocurrency reserve in the US is becoming increasingly concrete. Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest and a leading figure on the innovative investment scene, recently stated that the US government may soon move from words to deeds, starting to actively purchase Bitcoin to fuel what has already become an institutional reality under the Trump administration. The question is no longer if, but when. Currently, the strategic reserve only includes Bitcoins confiscated through government seizure actions, a prudent choice but limited in its potential. The stated goal of reaching one million BTC seems ambitious if…

We are witnessing a paradigm shift that will make 2026 the year zero for a new species of machine. If until yesterday we marvelled at how software could write poetry or generate surreal images, what emerged from the CES in Las Vegas shifts the bar towards a far more tangible and complex frontier: Physical AI. We are no longer talking about bits that reorganise digital information, but artificial intelligence that understands, navigates and manipulates the physical world with an understanding that begins to blur the boundaries with biological perception. Central to this revolution is the announcement of the new Vera…
