Celestia’s modular blockchain thesis is getting its first real stress test. OnchainDB, an independent project building on the network, has unveiled a pay-per-query database designed for a future where AI agents make millions of micropayments per second for data access.The timing isn’t coincidental. Celestia announced its Fibre Blockspace protocol on January 13, 2026, achieving 1 terabit per second throughput in testing across 498 nodes—a 1,500x improvement over original roadmap targets. OnchainDB is essentially betting that bandwidth will finally be cheap enough to make per-query payments economically viable.The Economics of Every API CallHere’s the pitch: instead of paying monthly cloud bills,…

Artificial intelligence has emerged as the dominant investment theme for the world’s largest family offices, while cryptocurrencies continue to attract limited interest, according to a new report from JPMorgan Private Bank.The bank’s 2026 Global Family Office Report polled 333 single-family offices across 30 countries between May and July 2025.

Bitcoin’s BTC$78,443.11 price sell-off has paused in the last 24 hours. However, prospects for a long-lasting recovery look dimmer as the dollar index springs back to life, threatening to squeeze crypto prices.Prices for the leading cryptocurrency by market value have stabilized between $75,000 and $80,000 after a weekend decline that saw valuations drop from $85,000 to under $75,000. Some observers are pinning hopes on futures market dynamics to trigger a recovery above $80,000.While that’s possible, sustainability is called into question as the dollar index, which tracks the greenback’s value against major fiat currencies, is buoyant. Some experts expect the dollar…

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a new creator token model that combines decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) with prediction market mechanics to incentivize higher-quality content creation.Creator tokens, or content coins, are blockchain-based assets that can grant fans a slice of ownership, access rights, or even royalties for the content creator’s work, which could be in the form of posts, photos, music, or videos. However, in a post on X on Sunday, Buterin said existing creator token platforms notably prioritize mass content creation over quality, and that this is now being exacerbated by AI-generated content.To combat this, Buterin said one idea would…

‘This is absolutely INSANE.”While the comment came from a social media post, the painful knee-jerk reaction is likely reverberating across the board for anyone even remotely interested in crypto, as bitcoin just plunged to near $77,000 on Saturday and has held there since.The price of the largest digital asset didn’t just stumble; it plunged through the $80,000 floor, hitting levels not seen since the “tariff tantrums” of April 2025. By Saturday afternoon, in thin weekend liquidity, at just above $77,000, bitcoin had seen a staggering $800 billion in market value vanish since its October peak above $126,000, and about $2.5…

According to previous analysis from blockchain.news, analysts had projected SOL targets of $150-$162 during late January, though current market conditions have led to different outcomes. Historical predictions from Rebeca Moen suggested resistance at $142 could unlock upside potential, while Darius Baruo forecasted $162 targets…

Bitcoin’s dip to around $75,500 briefly pushed the price just below Strategy’s (MSTR) average purchase cost of roughly $76,037 per coin.That may sound alarming at first glance, and it technically puts Michael Saylor’s firm underwater on its bitcoin holdings, but it doesn’t fundamentally change the company’s financial position.There is no balance sheet stress and no forced selling risk. What it does is slow down its future bitcoin buying.Strategy currently holds 712,647 bitcoin — all of it unencumbered, meaning none of the holdings are pledged as collateral, so there’s no risk of forced selling just because the price falls below its…

NVIDIA has released Triton-to-TileIR, a new backend that bridges OpenAI’s Triton programming language with the company’s recently introduced CUDA Tile architecture. The integration, now available on GitHub under the triton-lang organization, allows machine learning researchers to compile Triton code directly to CUDA Tile IR instead of traditional PTX assembly.The move addresses a persistent bottleneck in AI development: getting peak performance from NVIDIA’s Tensor Cores typically requires deep CUDA expertise that most ML practitioners lack. Triton already simplified GPU kernel development through Python syntax, but still compiled down to thread-level SIMT code. The new backend preserves tile-level semantics throughout compilation, potentially…
