Pi Network’s token has rebounded after hitting a fresh all-time low earlier this month, but the outlook remains cautious as the market wrestles with a nearby technical ceiling and ongoing token unlock supply. At the time of writing, Pi is trading at $0.09119, down 1.9% over the past 24 hours, while still up 10.7% on a seven-day view. Investors are weighing a new ecosystem upgrade—Protocol v25—against persistent unlock-related pressure and renewed attention on wallet security after community reports of missing balances following token migration. Key takeaways Price move: Pi is down 1.9% in the last 24 hours to $0.09119, but…

Super Micro Computer shares surged in premarket trading after the server maker reported preliminary fourth-quarter results that showed stronger-than-expected profitability, even as revenue came in near the low end of its guidance. The move lifted investors’ sentiment across the broader server and infrastructure complex, with Dell Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise also gaining ahead of the opening bell. In other premarket action, Pegasystems fell after its second-quarter results missed Wall Street expectations, while nuclear reactor developers Oklo and X-Energy rose on a Bloomberg report tying them to an effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to accelerate nuclear power for AI…
Stellar and XRP are vying for a share of the fastest-growing segment in digital assets: tokenized real-world financial products. The competition matters to investors because the addressable market for tokenized assets is expected to expand materially over the coming decade, raising the odds that protocol-level distribution and institutional access will be decisive. While Stellar has a larger base of tradeable tokenized assets today, a growing body of industry developments points to XRP as having stronger momentum with institutional “plumbing,” including its permissioned infrastructure and exchange-traded fund access. Still, investors are watching whether Stellar’s integration efforts—particularly through major market infrastructure providers—can…
Investors are focusing on Meta Platforms ahead of its second-quarter earnings report on July 29, with one question dominating expectations: whether the company will move to launch a cloud computing business. The potential shift could reshape how markets evaluate Meta’s heavy investment in AI infrastructure, while any indication that a cloud offering is delayed could pressure sentiment. Recent reporting and ongoing debate around AI spending have added to the scrutiny, as shareholders seek clearer monetization pathways for Meta’s large computing build-out. Key takeaways Price move: The stock’s near-term direction is likely to hinge on the July 29 earnings outcome tied…
Jito’s token JTO rose after the launch of JTX, a self-custodial trading platform aimed at Solana assets and tokenised real-world assets. At the time of writing, JTO was up 2.3% to $0.6149, as investors rotated back toward crypto projects offering new product rails while broader market sentiment improved. Data on Jito’s ecosystem activity also pointed to sustained engagement: total value locked stood at $7,873.43 million, according to DefiLlama, while JTO’s trading volume reached $31.73 million. Still, the token’s move appeared to track the wider digital-asset tape rather than reflecting a surge in standalone demand for Jito. Key takeaways Price move:…
Sui shares a modest but meaningful lift at the start of the week, extending a recent recovery and trading at $0.768, up 2.2% over the past 24 hours.

Data cited in the article points to a steady improvement in both price action and momentum over the past week and month, with Sui up 5.4% over seven days and 9.2% over the last month. For traders, the focus is now on whether buyers…
Zcash shares moved higher again as the broader cryptocurrency market rebounded, with Zcash rising 1.5% over the past 24 hours to $541.07. The move extended Zcash’s monthly gain to nearly 20%, keeping it among the stronger performers in the large-cap digital-asset group, as investors weighed Bitcoin-led momentum, shifting derivatives positioning, and expectations around the Ironwood network upgrade. Key takeaways Price move: Zcash gained 1.5% to $541.07, continuing a near-20% monthly run. Catalyst: Strength in Bitcoin lifted the sector, while derivatives flows and ongoing support from the Ironwood upgrade storyline helped sustain demand.

Bitget has launched “Stocks 2.0,” a June 2026 initiative designed to let investors access U.S. equities from within a crypto exchange environment. The platform offers two separate routes to stock exposure: tokenised assets issued via Reality-issued rTokens, and direct share ownership via a brokerage-style product called Stock+. Bitget’s push aims to reduce the operational friction that typically forces crypto holders to open and fund separate brokerage accounts to invest in U.S. stocks. The central question for market participants is whether the integration meaningfully improves equity access for crypto-native users—or whether it adds another layer of complexity in an already crowded…
The National Media Authority (NMA) has continued its nationwide campaign to raise awareness of media content standards with a session held in Ras Al Khaimah. The event, organized with the Ras Al Khaimah Government Media Office, focused on how 20 national standards are intended to guide professional, responsible and reliable media production across both traditional and digital platforms. For the UAE, the push is part of a wider regulatory approach that seeks to keep pace with rapid changes in media consumption, production tools, and distribution channels.

Indigo Telecom Group, a provider of operational services for critical digital infrastructure, has appointed Nick Barton as its Chief Revenue Officer. The move is designed to strengthen the company’s commercial strategy as it continues to scale services across a global footprint, including support for hyperscalers, carriers, and subsea and network infrastructure operators.

AI is no longer the question in professional services, at least at the individual level. A new Thomson Reuters report argues the real problem is operational, where organizations struggle to turn widespread AI usage into dependable, governed outputs that clients can trust. In its Future of Professionals 2026 report, Thomson Reuters surveyed 1,816 professionals across law, tax, audit, accounting, compliance, risk, and global trade. The results point to an “execution gap” between AI ambition and day-to-day delivery, and warn that the downstream effects are becoming measurable in both talent and client relationships. AI usage is rising, but value delivery is…
LexisNexis says it is expanding and fully localizing its legal AI platform for the Middle East and GCC, positioning the update as part of a broader effort to make AI tools more usable for legal professionals working across regional jurisdictions. The company’s announcement centers on Lexis+ with Protégé, which it describes as built on authoritative regional legal content rather than general-purpose AI approaches. In the release, LexisNexis also links the regional rollout to rising demand for legal and regulatory support as governments and businesses move faster on digitization and AI adoption. What LexisNexis is launching in the Middle East According…
