From $0.014 to $25 by 2029? Ozak AI’s Tokenomics Suggest a 178,000% ROI Scenario Early Investors Are Racing Toward

Ozak AI, currently in its presale phase at $0.014 per token, is being discussed by analysts as a high-potential AI infrastructure project with a long-term growth model. Some projections suggest a theoretical price target of $25 by 2029, which would represent a 178,000% return for early investors. These forecasts are based on a multi-phase expansion plan including presale repricing, post-listing adoption, ecosystem scaling, and broader AI market growth. The tokenomics are designed for gradual supply absorption aligned with increasing utility and demand. Ozak AI’s infrastructure components—such as Prediction Agents, the Ozak Stream Network, and integrations with EigenLayer and Arbitrum Orbit—support its potential for compounded growth. Early investors are accumulating tokens ahead of anticipated price appreciation, though all projections remain speculative.

Video | Dialogue with Sei Founder Jay: Belief and Survival Rules Through the Crypto Super Cycle

Video | Conversation with Jay Jog, Founder of Sei: Belief and Survival Strategies Through Crypto’s Super Cycle Jay Jog, co-founder of Sei, shares his journey from Robinhood to building the world’s fastest blockchain. The 2021 GameStop short squeeze and Robinhood’s trading halt revealed structural flaws in traditional finance, inspiring the creation of Sei—a high-performance, decentralized alternative to Nasdaq. Sei began development in 2021, launching its Cosmos-based V1 mainnet in August 2023. To attract more developers, the team integrated EVM support, addressing Ethereum’s scalability limitations. With the launch of parallel EVM in July 2024, Sei achieved up to 50x performance improvements, processing over 5 billion transactions and attracting 100 million unique wallets. Major institutions like BlackRock, Brevan Howard, and Ondo have launched products on Sei, drawn by its growing user base and distribution channels rather than underlying tech alone. Jay emphasizes that real adoption comes from killer apps and user growth, not just high TPS. Reflecting on his journey, Jay highlights the challenges of fundraising after Terra’s collapse and the importance of building through bear markets. He remains optimistic about crypto’s future, citing real-world adoption and regulatory progress. Sei’s vision is a “Wall Street on-chain.” Upcoming upgrades like Sei Giga aim for another 50x performance boost, enabling Nasdaq-level order book systems. The team is also focusing on permissionless asset trading and internal app incubation to drive ecosystem growth. Jay advises investors to build strong conviction in crypto’s value rather than following hype. For developers, he recommends focusing on financial applications and emerging opportunities like AI agent payments, which align with internet-native currencies.

Crypto Gaming Enters New Era With Pudgy World’s Debut

Pudgy Penguins has launched its browser-based crypto game, "Pudgy World," marking a new era for NFT games. The free-to-play game emphasizes creative freedom, community, and accessibility, requiring no downloads. Players explore a virtual world, complete quests, and customize penguin avatars.

This "no-crypto" approach aligns with Pudgy Penguins' strategy to make blockchain an invisible infrastructure supporting ownership and rewards. The launch also integrates physical toys with digital experiences through QR codes, further expanding the brand's ecosystem.

Ripple Engineer Reveals Why Codius Project Failed Years Ago

A former Ripple senior engineer, Steven Zeiler, has reignited discussion by explaining why the Codius decentralized computing project failed. Zeiler argued that despite solid technology and vision, Codius lacked a native token to incentivize early adopters and bootstrap the network, unlike Ethereum which succeeded partly due to the ETH token. His comments drew pushback from XRP Ledger validator Vet, who contended that Codius was intentionally designed to be token-agnostic via the Interledger Protocol, without an ICO or insider advantages. Vet also disputed claims that Codius is dead, citing ongoing development efforts. The debate also touched on Ripple’s former CTO Joel Schwartz’s earlier signals about reviving Codius, though no recent updates have followed his departure from Ripple in 2025.

ZCash surges on funding news, but ZEC traders shouldn’t buy yet – Here’s why!

ZCash (ZEC) surged 8.17% with a 43% increase in daily trading volume following the announcement that ZCash Open Developmental Lab (ZODL) secured over $25 million in seed funding from major investors including Paradigm and a16z crypto.

Why Doesn't Stripe, Valued at $160 Billion, Go Public?

Stripe, valued at $159 billion, and Plaid, valued at $8 billion, recently conducted tender offers, reflecting a structural shift in how companies access capital and provide liquidity. This trend allows firms to bypass traditional IPOs, avoiding dilution and regulatory burdens. The private secondary market reached $240 billion in 2025, surpassing global IPO proceeds. Companies now wait an average of 16 years to go public, and private market assets have doubled to $22 trillion over 12 years. New infrastructure layers like Forge and EquityZen facilitate secondary trading, while platforms like Robinhood’s Ventures Fund I are opening private markets to retail investors. However, risks include structural complexity, valuation opacity, and counterparty risks. Despite a 2025 IPO rebound, many companies trade below their offering prices, making tender offers an attractive alternative amid geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.
