Additionally, the credit card provides zero foreign exchange fees and a 24/7 AI-native concierge service based on WhatsApp.Data shows that Karta's revenue and payment transaction volume achieved over tenfold growth in 2025 and continued to record a fourfold quarter-on-quarter growth in the first quarter of 2026.

Placeholder partner Chris Burniske tweeted that holding cash at this stage has a very high opportunity cost, and mentioned that he has recently been gradually building positions. He also pointed out that multiple factors are converging around October, believing that this timing is "not to be ignored." Burniske did not specify any particular investment targets.Previously, Chris Burniske had stated in a post last October that after the recent crash in the crypto market, sustained buying pressure is unlikely in the short term, and if BTC falls to $75,000 or below, he may consider buying again.

Hyperbridge Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol Hyperbridge announced the completion of a comprehensive architecture reboot, re-launching after completing security audits, bug bounty incentives, and system reconstruction, and officially transforming into a "hyperstructure." The protocol was suspended after the security incident on April 13, during which it completed a joint audit with organizations such as SRLabs and paid over $150,000 in bounties to security researchers.The team stated that this upgrade removed the original centralized management keys, transitioning to a fully permissionless network of validators and provers, achieving full-stack decentralized operation.This reboot also introduced the "Hyper Fungible Token (HFT)" standard, making each cross-chain asset an independent application layer structure, with issuers autonomously controlling cross-chain behavior rules, including pause mechanisms and throttling strategies. Hyperbridge also released the OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) adapter, which is compatible with existing cross-chain protocols like LayerZero, allowing assets to be migrated to a zero-knowledge proof-based transport layer by simply modifying configuration parameters, without the need to redeploy contracts.In addition, the protocol's business model has shifted from a pay-per-use model to a subscription model, allowing cross-chain applications to pay a stablecoin fee of $50 to $1,000 per month for bandwidth services. The official statement indicated that this upgrade marks Hyperbridge's transition from an early cross-chain bridge project to a fully decentralized infrastructure protocol, aiming to provide a unified interoperability layer for a multi-chain ecosystem without the need for trusted intermediaries.

According to official news, Open Genesis (OG) will officially launch on June 13 at 13:13 Singapore time. The project is positioned as an AI + Web3 consensus ecosystem, operating on a purely on-chain smart contract architecture, with no APP, no DAPP, and no centralized backend, and core rules executed automatically on-chain.OG is currently developing a long-term ecological layout around AI applications, community consensus, and on-chain value networks, and exploring the integration path of AI technology and the Web3 value system.The official statement defines OG as "the world's first mechanism model fed by AI large models," promoting the formation of a new generation of on-chain value collaboration networks through the continuous accumulation of on-chain behavior, community consensus, and ecological data. By continuously accumulating value through community consensus and on-chain behavior, it becomes an important value infrastructure for future AI large model feeding and ecological applications.

Sources say that Nvidia has begun marketing its first standalone Central Processing Unit (CPU) product, Vera, to Chinese customers. This chip is designed for Agentic AI systems and has now entered mass production, marking Nvidia's attempt to further expand its presence in the Chinese market through CPU products.Insiders indicate that some Chinese customers have shown interest in Vera. One large Chinese cloud computing company plans to purchase over 300 servers equipped with dual Vera CPUs for testing and will decide whether to scale up purchases after the testing is completed.Vera is built on the Arm Holdings architecture and is Nvidia's first standalone CPU product. Nvidia previously stated that Vera's performance in AI agent-related computing tasks can reach 1.8 times that of competing products, and it is expected that this product will contribute approximately $20 billion in revenue before the end of the current fiscal year (by the end of January next year).Reports point out that as the focus of the AI industry gradually shifts from model training to inference computing, CPUs and custom chips are gaining more attention. Vera also puts Nvidia in direct competition with Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which have long dominated the server CPU market.Insiders have noted that due to strict restrictions imposed by the U.S. on high-end GPU exports, CPUs face relatively fewer regulatory hurdles in the Chinese market compared to GPU products. Currently, some Chinese customers plan to first deploy Vera chips in overseas data centers for testing. Meanwhile, software ecosystem compatibility and the existing domestic AI chip deployment system may still affect the subsequent large-scale adoption of Vera.
