Back in 2021, the Dogecoin price reached its $0.7376 all-time high after having a legendary run spurred on by billionaire Elon Musk shilling the meme coin on X (formerly Twitter). At the time, the meme coin hit this peak price after touching an $80 billion market cap. However, things have changed since then and due to the inflationary nature of Dogecoin, hitting this market cp again would not see it hit this peak price again.

Dogecoin Supply Rises By 40% In 3 Years

Unlike Bitcoin, the Dogecoin supply is designed in a way that it is infinite. This means that that there is an endless supply of DOGE tokens to be mined, and this comes back to the fact that the altcoin was created as a joke. So, over the years, the supply has continued to rise as mining has continued.

Back in 2021, the total circulating Dogecoin supply was a little above 108 billion when it hit its $0.7376 all-time high. This put the market cap at all-time high at just a little over $80 billion. Fast forward to 2025 and the DOGE circulating supply has risen steadily risen, recording an over 40% increase in the past three years. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin supply is sitting at 148.83 billion DOGE.

With this increase in supply, it means that the Dogecoin market cap would have to be significantly higher for it to reach the same $0.7376 peak from 2021. Using the current circulating supply and multiplying it by the all-time high price, the market cap would have to hit approximately $110 billion to reach the same highs from 2021.

Furthermore, as already explained above, the DOGE supply is designed to keep increasing and miners receive more rewards from their activities. This means that the market cap that DOGE would have to reach to clock its previous highs will continue to rise with the passage of time.

DOGE Price Hitting $1 At $148 Billion

For this cycle, the major target for the Dogecoin price has been the $1 target, but so far, the meme coin has only managed to go halfway to $0.5 before being pulled down by the market crash. This expectation has been spurred by major developments for the altcoin such as the launch of a potential Dogecoin ETF.

AI predictions have also become increasingly popular and once of those if the Grok AI prediction that the Dogecoin price will likely hit $1 in 2026. But interestingly, the CoinCodex algorithm predicts that the Dogecoin price will not hit $1 until 2029, giving another 3-year runway of low price expectations.

A 10,000-Word Interpretation of the "Optical Interconnect" Industry Chain: The AI Infrastructure Bottleneck Obscured by GPU Glare

**Summary: The Rise of Optical Interconnect in AI Infrastructure** This analysis explores the critical, yet often overlooked, role of optical interconnects in large-scale AI data centers. While GPUs provide raw computational power, the efficiency of AI clusters depends heavily on high-speed data transfer between thousands of cooperating GPUs during both training and inference tasks. Copper-based electrical connections are hitting physical limits in bandwidth, distance, and power consumption. Fiber optics, using light signals, offer a superior solution with exponentially higher bandwidth and lower energy use over longer distances. This shift is driving rapid growth in the optical interconnect market. The core translation device is the pluggable optical transceiver (or module), which converts electrical signals from GPUs into optical signals for fiber transmission and vice versa. Its manufacturing involves two distinct semiconductor domains: indium phosphide (InP) for optical chips (lasers, modulators, detectors) and silicon for digital signal processing (DSP) chips. A transformative next-generation technology is Co-Packaged Optics (CPO). CPO moves the optical engine (a silicon photonic integrated circuit, or PIC) much closer to the GPU or switch inside the same chip package, drastically reducing power loss and latency. CPO necessitates an external laser source and relies on silicon photonics (using Silicon-on-Insulator/SOI wafers) for integration with silicon chips. The optical interconnect ecosystem is highly fragmented, unlike the concentrated GPU market. Key bottlenecks and players span the entire supply chain: InP substrates (e.g., AXT), epitaxial wafers (e.g., IQE), laser chips (e.g., Sivers, Lumentum, Coherent), silicon photonics foundries (e.g., Tower Semiconductor), SOI wafers (e.g., Soitec), DSP/switch chips (e.g., Broadcom, Marvell), and underlying fiber (e.g., Corning). The article posits that AI infrastructure competition is extending from "who has more GPUs" to "who can secure the scarce optical interconnect supply chain." CPO represents the largest potential growth variable, with projections suggesting it could become a market worth tens of billions of dollars by 2028. Investment opportunities vary from conservative (large, diversified players) to aggressive (small, high-beta companies focused on specific bottleneck technologies), but the sector carries significant volatility and execution risks.

a16z: RWA Has Passed the Proof of Concept, but the Real Challenges Are Just Beginning

a16z highlights that the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market, excluding stablecoins, has grown tenfold in under two years to roughly $340 billion. This surge is primarily driven by US Treasury bonds and gold, offering investors yield on idle stablecoins and providing institutions with more efficient settlement and collateral flows. However, the core insight is that most tokenized assets today are simply digital certificates for off-chain holdings—used for ownership and transfer but not deeply integrated into DeFi as composable financial building blocks. For instance, only about 5% of tokenized bonds ($8B) are actively used in DeFi protocols. Smaller categories like reinsurance tokens show much higher DeFi utilization (84%), indicating they were designed for on-chain composability from the start. The market remains concentrated, with US Treasuries and commodities comprising two-thirds of the total. Gold dominates the commodities segment. While Ethereum holds over half the market, activity is spreading across multiple chains like BNB Chain and Solana. Predictions for the market's future size vary widely (from $2 trillion to over $30 trillion by 2030/2034), reflecting different definitions of what constitutes tokenization. All agree on significant growth. The current market is minuscule compared to traditional finance (e.g., tokenized bonds are 0.01% of the global bond market). The key takeaway is that the initial "proof-of-concept" phase for moving familiar assets on-chain is proving successful. The next, harder challenge is moving more complex financial instruments onto blockchains and enabling true on-chain composability, where these assets become programmable components within a native digital financial system, rather than just digitized records.

The Wind of 'Proactive' AI Blows into Silicon Valley: Hark Secures $700 Million in Funding

Hark, an AI startup founded in late 2025, has raised $700 million in Series A funding at a $6 billion valuation. Led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from NVIDIA, AMD Ventures, Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, and Salesforce Ventures, the company aims to develop next-generation human-computer interfaces using a combination of proprietary foundational models and custom-built AI-native hardware. Founded by serial entrepreneur Brett Adcock, Hark envisions a system of multimodal devices equipped with agentic capabilities, end-to-end voice models, and personalized memory. This "active" AI approach seeks to move beyond passive chatbots, creating collaborative companions that anticipate needs and interact naturally within the real world. Adcock's experience with Figure, a humanoid robotics company, informs this hardware-focused venture. The article argues that while current AI is powerful, it remains confined to screens and traditional interfaces like chat. The next paradigm shift requires dedicated hardware that is always-on, possesses persistent memory, and enables intuitive interaction, potentially rivaling the impact of the iPhone. Hark is assembling a team with talent from Apple, Meta, Google, and Tesla to tackle this complex engineering challenge across models, hardware, and interaction design. Finally, the piece suggests Chinese startups may have an advantage in this "active" AI hardware space due to strong manufacturing ecosystems, a vast domestic market, and supportive government policies, framing the competition as one that requires integrated progress in models, operating systems, and devices.

Competitors Going Public, Kimi Can't Sit Still

Competitors Go Public, Kimi Feels the Pressure Yue Zhi An Mian (Moonshot AI), the company behind the AI assistant Kimi, has begun dismantling its VIE and red-chip structure, clearing a key obstacle for a potential Hong Kong IPO. This marks a significant shift from six months ago when founder Yang Zhilin stated the company was in "no hurry" to list. The move comes as rivals like Zhipu AI and MiniMax have successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in early 2026, experiencing massive surges in market value. This has reset valuation logic for AI companies, turning "going public" from an end goal into a competitive necessity. Analysts suggest Kimi is both seizing a favorable market window and responding to competitive pressure. Kimi's valuation has skyrocketed from around $3 billion at its 2023 founding to over $20 billion by May 2026. Capital is betting on its potential as a future AI platform and gateway, though some caution this "emotional valuation" depends on sustained technological leadership and successful commercialization. Traditionally focused on core model R&D over user growth, Kimi has recently pivoted strategy. While its monthly active users declined through 2025, it shifted focus to Agent development and reducing marketing spend. The release of its K2.5 model in early 2026 reportedly generated substantial revenue, with annual recurring revenue reaching $200 million by April, driven by subscriptions and API services. A $2 billion D-round financing in May signaled investor approval of this commercial shift. However, listing will bring new pressures. Experts predict a listed Kimi would face stricter scrutiny on financial controls, compliance, and R&D efficiency. The narrative must evolve from pure technological breakthroughs to demonstrating clear commercialization paths, sustainable income, and a defensible valuation, balancing model superiority with business performance.
