Introduzione

Solana-based move-to-earn token STEPN (GMT) is now the 48th largest cryptocurrency by market value, following a recent price surge.

Solana-based move-to-earn token STEPN (GMT) is now the 48th largest cryptocurrency by market value, following a recent price surge. The token’s latest rally is spurred by the addition of the project to several popular marketplaces.
GMT, the governance token of the project, rallied nearly 20% in the past 24 hours to a record high of $4.1024, data from Coinmarketcap showed. The token has rallied over 3000% in the past three months, and is among the best-performing cryptos this year. Its current market capital is about $2.3 billion.
The token’s initial rally was sparked by speculation that STEPN will partner with a major sports brand this year. While the STEPN is yet to make an announcement on the matter, hype around the possibility boosted its token.
STEPN now supported by Coinbase, OpenSea
In a big boost for adoption, world no.3 crypto exchange Coinbase said it will now support STEPN’s two tokens, GMT and GST. GST, which is the token through which STEPN users are given incentives, will be given an “experimental asset” label by Coinbase.
GST surged nearly 20% in 24 hours, and is trading around $6.
OpenSea, the world’s largest NFT marketplace, said it will now support the trade of STEPN’s sneaker NFTs. The sneaker NFTs grant access to STEPN’s move-to-earn features. The NFTs are also among the first Solana-based tokens supported by OpenSea, which until recently supported only Ethereum-based NFTs
The Coinbase and OpenSea integration follows earlier support by Binance for both GMT and STEPN’s sneaker NFTs.
Move-to-earn in vogue
STEPN’s growing popularity also appears to have spilled over to other tokens. Data from Coinmarketcap shows that move-to-earn tokens were the best performing category in the past 24 hours, up an average 11%.
Polygon-based move-to-earn token DEFIT rallied 44% overnight after it announced plans for a new mobile app and website. Augmented reality sports token Dotmoovs (MOOV) surged 22%, while the second-largest move-to-earn token, Genopets (GENE), added 2%.
Still, STEPN is by far the biggest move-to-earn token by market capitalization, at over $2 billion. By comparison, GENE’s total value is $49.9 million.

Banking Giants Battle in the Tokenization Arena: Who Will Take the Lead?

**Banking Titans Battle in Tokenization: Who Leads the Pack?** Four major banks—JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, and BNY Mellon—are heavily investing in tokenization infrastructure but have adopted distinct strategic paths. This analysis compares them across four key dimensions: verified transaction volume, product breadth, regulatory compliance, and underlying infrastructure model. JPMorgan's Onyx network stands out with over $1 trillion in cumulative cleared transaction volume, focusing deeply on niche areas like tokenized collateral management and intraday repo settlement. However, its closed private network limits market reach. Goldman Sachs Digital Assets Platform (GS DAP) leads in product diversity, having executed tokenized bond issuances for sovereign entities and supranational organizations, and launched tokenized money market funds. It is also a founding member of the Canton Network, a shared ledger for institutions, though its overall cleared volume is less publicly disclosed than JPMorgan's. HSBC's Orion platform carves a niche in cross-border tokenized securities and sustainable finance, exemplified by its tokenized gold product and its role in large-scale digital green bond issuances for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Its global network provides a unique advantage in Asia and emerging markets. BNY Mellon, as the world's largest custodian, plays a fundamentally different role by providing essential custody and asset servicing infrastructure for digital assets, notably supporting the Canton Network. It does not actively issue front-end tokenized products. In summary, no single bank dominates all fronts. JPMorgan leads in scale, Goldman in product breadth, HSBC in global cross-border positioning, and BNY Mellon in foundational custody services. The market is likely to see multiple parallel development paths. A key future challenge is avoiding fragmentation; the success of interoperability standards like those within Canton Network will be crucial to realizing blockchain's full efficiency gains across the entire financial ecosystem. The next 5-10 years will reveal which institution builds the most enduring competitive moat.

Ethereum Advances Glamsterdam Upgrade Ahead of Planned 2026 Launch

Ethereum developers have entered the final development phase for the Glamsterdam upgrade, targeting a mainnet launch in late 2026. The upgrade, combining the consensus layer "Gloas" and execution layer "Amsterdam," aims to significantly enhance Ethereum's Layer-1 performance. Key improvements include Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS) for better scalability and fairness, Block-Level Access Lists for increased transaction processing, and a gas repricing bundle expected to reduce Layer-1 fees by up to 70%. Currently undergoing comprehensive testing on development networks, Glamsterdam is viewed as Ethereum's most substantial scaling effort since The Merge, intended to improve transaction speed, cost, and the network's competitive position.

Focus: Five Leading AI Stocks on Nasdaq

The report analyzes five Nasdaq-listed AI infrastructure stocks—Micron (MU), MaxLinear (MXL), AMD, Lumentum (LITE), and Vicor (VICR)—as distinct plays within the AI capital expenditure chain, rather than a single "AI trade." While all benefit from AI data center spending, they differ in their specific roles (e.g., memory, computing, optics, power, connectivity), financial resilience, and risk profiles. The author argues that the key question is not whether the AI narrative remains intact, but whether capital expenditure translates into real orders, earnings justify valuations, and portfolios can withstand high volatility. Historical data shows these stocks have significantly outperformed benchmarks but also experienced deeper drawdowns (~28% to -32%), highlighting their high-beta, high-volatility nature. An investment framework is proposed: core positions (e.g., MU, AMD) for stocks with stronger fundamental evidence; satellite positions (e.g., LITE, VICR) for high-potential, high-volatility names; and cautious observation (e.g., MXL) for smaller-cap ideas with unproven financials. The emphasis is on disciplined, phased buying during pullbacks—only when price corrections align with intact fundamentals and available risk budget—rather than emotional "buy-the-dip" strategies. Overall, AI infrastructure offers long-term potential, but success requires strict position sizing, role definition for each holding, and preparedness for significant volatility.
