HTX  Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500U 💥

Miami, FL – The volume of payments made using stablecoin-linked debit and credit cards has grown by approximately 105% over the past year, according to John Timoni, head of partnerships at the stablecoin infrastructure firm Rain. Timoni shared the data during a panel discussion at the Consensus 2026 conference in Miami, highlighting a rapid shift in how digital currencies are being used for everyday transactions.Stablecoin cards allow users to spend digital assets like $USDC or $USDT at any merchant that accepts traditional card payments. The card issuer converts the stablecoin into fiat currency at the point of sale, enabling seamless transactions without the volatility associated with other cryptocurrencies. Timoni noted that the growth is particularly pronounced in regions with unstable local currencies or limited access to traditional banking.Timoni predicted that stablecoin card usage could capture double-digit market share in several Latin American markets within the next few years. Countries such as Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia have seen rising adoption as citizens seek alternatives to inflation-prone national currencies and restrictive capital controls. Rain, which partners with card networks and local financial institutions, has been expanding its infrastructure to support this demand.The surge in stablecoin card usage signals a maturing cryptocurrency ecosystem. Unlike speculative trading, card payments represent real-world utility and integration with existing financial rails. For regulators and financial institutions, this trend underscores the growing need for clear stablecoin frameworks that balance innovation with consumer protection. For consumers, it offers a practical bridge between digital assets and daily spending.The 105% year-over-year growth in stablecoin card payments, as reported at Consensus 2026, reflects

Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Intel (INTC) have reached an agreement for Intel to make chips in Apple devices, according to the Wall Street Journal. The deal provides Intel with a foundational customer for its nascent foundry business and could provide the chipmaker with the financial resources to continue investing in new semiconductor technologies. WSJ’s reporting helped fuel a 15% rally for INTC stock, while AAPL is also up a modest 2%.JUST IN: Apple and Intel $INTC reach agreement for Intel to make chips in Apple devices, WSJ reports. pic.twitter.com/SbN4ZxU52U— Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) May 8, 2026INTC is already up over 240% YTD, one of the best performers among chip stocks on Wall Street, even outperforming NVDA. The iPhone maker has had a long-time reliance on chips from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM). However, Intel has made its way up the hierarchy of semiconductor technology, and Apple is looking to interweave with the resurgent chipmaker.It’s still unclear which Apple products Intel would make chips for as part of the deal. Apple ships more than 200 million iPhones per year, as well as millions of iPads and Mac computers. Neither Intel nor Apple immediately commented on the reported deal or provided any specific dollar figures for it. Prior reports had indicated that Intel might initially make chips for Apple’s M series, which power the company’s desktop and laptop computers, some high-end iPads, and its Apple Vision Pro headset. There is also speculation that Apple would use Intel chips in established technology rather than its newest models.Also Read: US Stocks Climb After Solid Jobs Report: Nasdaq Up 1.4%Intel’s most recent rally isn’t fluff, as its recent numbers suggest this is not a one-off surge, but rather the opening chapter of a multiyear rally.

Администрация Трампа готовит указ о безопасности ИИ для американских ведомств

Администрация Трампа готовит исполнительный указ, который обяжет государственные учреждения США сотрудничать с компаниями, занимающимися искусственным интеллектом, для усиления сетевой безопасности от кибератак с использованием ИИ.

В какой контекст это вписывается в более широкую повестку дня в области ИИ

Планируемый указ о безопасности станет дополнением к растущему числу исполнительных указов, связанных с ИИ, из Белого дома Трампа. 23 января 2025 года президент подписал исполнительный указ № 14179, который был направлен на устранение препятствий для лидерства США в области ИИ.

Затем, 11 декабря 2025 года, второй исполнительный указ под названием «Обеспечение национальной политической основы для искусственного интеллекта» продвинул эту стратегию дальше. Он предписывал создание Целевой группы по судебным разбирательствам в области ИИ и поручал министру торговли пересмотреть законы штатов об ИИ к 11 марта 2026 года.

With UFO and extraterrestrial disclosures hitting the mainstream, crypto markets are paying close attention. Narratives drive momentum in crypto, and alien-themed projects are rapidly capturing the interest of speculative investors.

Standing out in this emerging trend is Alien Pepe on the Ethereum blockchain. Pepe-related assets have already proven the massive power of internet culture. Alien Pepe taps directly into that viral energy while introducing a fresh narrative aligned with the world's growing UFO fascination.

What makes Alien Pepe unique is its authenticity: it was created by the same artist behind the original Pepe character. This gives it a cultural relevance that most meme coins simply lack.

The team is also making strategic moves to accelerate growth, recently partnering with EAC. This respected crypto marketing agency is known for scaling major meme coin brands, including Brett—another highly successful Matt Furie-inspired project.

For traders, the opportunity is compelling. Alien Pepe's market cap remains extremely low compared to established meme coins, offering outsized upside potential while it is still in its early discovery phase. Organic momentum is already building on Crypto Twitter, fueled by the team’s consistent, high-quality promotional videos and community engagement.

$GMX Labs, the development team behind the decentralized derivatives exchange $GMX, has appointed a community member known only as Q as its first Chief Executive Officer. The appointment marks a significant step in the project’s evolution from a community-led initiative toward a more structured operational frameworkA Community-Driven Leadership Transition

Q, who has been an active participant in $GMX’s governance and a major token holder, will now lead $GMX Labs. The decision follows a formal proposal from the $GMX community aimed at improving operational efficiency by introducing a more traditional leadership structure. $GMX Labs stated that Q has consistently played a pivotal role across the ecosystem, particularly in governance and community coordination.

The appointment of a CEO represents a maturation point for $GMX, which has operated with a relatively flat organizational model since its inception. For users and token holders, this change could bring clearer accountability, faster decision-making, and more strategic direction. The move also signals to the broader DeFi market that $GMX is prioritizing long-term stability and professional management.The transition was initiated by the community itself, reflecting a growing recognition within decentralized projects that formal leadership can coexist with community governance. By appointing a CEO, $GMX Labs aims to streamline operations without undermining the decentralized ethos that underpins the platform. This balance is critical as the exchange continues to compete in the crowded derivatives market.The appointment of Q as $GMX Labs’ first CEO is a notable development in the DeFi space, illustrating how community-governed projects are adapting to the demands of scale and competition. For $GMX users, the change promises improved operational clarity while maintaining the community

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Crypto pundit Bull Theory has alluded to a Russell 2000 signal, which has always triggered every major Bitcoin bull market. This signal is again said to have triggered, signaling that another major bull run may be on the horizon. Russell 2000 Signal Points To Another Bitcoin Bull MarketIn an X post, Bull Theory stated that the Russell 2000 just gave the same signal that has triggered every major Bitcoin bull market in the past. The pundit further revealed that this index has broken out after consolidating for 64 months, which is its longest base in over 20 years. This matters because of how a bull run has followed every breakout.  Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bottom In After Showing A Total Of 7 Bear Flags?The pundit pointed to the fourth quarters of 2012, 2016, and 2020, when the Russell broke out, after which Bitcoin bull markets followed. Now, the Russell has broken out again after 64 months, which is 17 months longer than the consolidation prior to the three previous breakouts. Bull Theory explained that the Russell 2000 is a leading indicator of liquidity and risk appetite, as when small caps rally, it means that capital is flowing to risk-on assets such as crypto. Source: Chart from Bull Theory on XBull Theory also noted that the length of this consolidation matters, as it means liquidity was constrained for an unusually long time. However, the breakout signals that conditions have materially changed. Furthermore, the pundit stated that the ISM Manufacturing PMI confirms liquidity expansion, as the Bitcoin cycle has historically begun 4 to 5 months after the PMI bottoms. As such, Bull Theory believes that the small caps and the PMI are sending the same message that liquidity is rising and risk appetite is returning, which means that the setup for a new Bitcoin

Bitcoin Reclaimed $80K After Trump Announced Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire
US President Donald Trump announced on his social media platform that the two warring parties in Europe, Russia and Ukraine, have agreed to a three-day ceasefire.

Bitcoin’s price reacted to the news positively, but in a more modest manner.

“This Ceasefire will include a suspension of all kinetic activity, and also a prison swap of 1,000 prisoners from each Country. This request was made directly by me, and I very much appreciate its agreement by President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” reads the Truth Social post.

Trump also expressed hopes that the ceasefire now will be the beginning of “the end of a very long, deadly, and hard-fought war.” He added that both parties have opened talks in an attempt to end the conflict, which he described as “the biggest since World War II.”

Bitcoin tends to react well to ceasefire news in the past month or so. The asset had dipped to $79,100 yesterday after it was rejected at $83,000 in the middle of the week, but jumped by over a grand to well above $80,000 as of now.

However, this $1,000 rally isn’t as impressive as its move after the ceasefire between the US and Iran. At the time, the cryptocurrency traded at around $68,000 before it shot up to $73,000 in minutes.

Weeks later, bitcoin registered another notable price pump after the ceasefire was extended, and most altcoins followed suit. Today, very few larger-cap alts have marked substantial gains, such as SOL (5.5%) and ZEC (10%).
