MetaMask Expands With Polymarket Integration

TheCryptoTimes2025-10-14 tarihinde yayınlandı2025-10-14 tarihinde güncellendi

MetaMask, the leading self-custodial wallet developed by Consensys, has announced an exclusive partnership with Polymarket, the world’s largest decentralized prediction market, marking its first major expansion into onchain forecasting and event trading.

The integration will allow users to participate in prediction markets directly within the MetaMask platform, enabling them to trade outcomes on topics ranging from crypto and politics to global events, all while maintaining full self-custody. The move positions MetaMask as not just a wallet, but a gateway to decentralized speculation and information markets.

The move comes as prediction markets gain momentum as a new frontier for onchain finance. Platforms like Polymarket have seen near $20B in trading volume, according to TokenTerminal data.

MetaMask will launch its Rewards program by the end of October, a seasonal point-based system that incentivizes trading and stablecoin activity through perks like $LINEA tokens, fee discounts, and access to the upcoming Metal Card.

Convergence in trading, speculation, and access

MetaMask’s latest updates align with its ongoing partnership with Hyperliquid, which first introduced perpetual futures on mobile earlier this month. The combination of in-app perps and the Polymarket integration highlights a strategic expansion: turning MetaMask into a decentralized trading hub rivaling centralized exchanges, without custody risk.

The approach mirrors a trend in Web3, merging user-friendly interfaces with complex market tools. By offering perps, prediction markets, and reward incentives natively, MetaMask is positioning itself as the entry point for both active traders and casual users exploring the next wave of on-chain finance.

As the company readies its long-awaited token launch, these updates mark its evolution from a simple Web3 wallet into a decentralized platform where users can trade, earn, and manage assets independently.

Investment Philosophy of Gavin Baker, an Early Nvidia Investor: Long AI Infrastructure Bottlenecks, Short Overall Market Risk

Gavin Baker, an early investor in Nvidia and founder of Atreides Management, outlines his investment philosophy: going long on AI infrastructure bottlenecks while hedging against broader market risk. He argues AI is not a bubble but a supercycle driven by constraints in power, wafers (semiconductors), and compute efficiency (tokens per watt). True alpha, he believes, lies not in application-layer companies like OpenAI but in "picks and shovels" providers—companies solving physical bottlenecks in GPU connectivity (e.g., Astera Labs), memory (Micron), inference chips (Cerebras, Positron), advanced manufacturing (TSMC, ASML), and energy supply. His portfolio reflects this barbell strategy: concentrated bets on key infrastructure players alongside a significant put position on the QQQ ETF to hedge overall market downside. Baker contends this cycle differs from the dot-com bubble because demand is fueled by the strong balance sheets of hyperscalers (Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft), not debt, and physical supply constraints (e.g., chip manufacturing capacity) prevent runaway overinvestment. He highlights the growing importance of inference (vs. pre-training), vertical/small language models, sovereign infrastructure deployment speed, and the convergence of energy and space (e.g., orbital compute). His long-term view is that performance-per-watt and token cost reduction will dictate winners as AI scaling hits fundamental physical limits.

Apple Re-invented Image Compression with AI: Same Quality, One-Third the File Size

Apple’s PICO: An AI-Powered Image Codec That Cuts File Size by Two-Thirds at Equal Perceived Quality In 2025, JPEG AI became the first international standard for learned image compression. However, it, like most codecs, still prioritizes mathematical metrics like PSNR over true perceptual quality—what the human eye finds pleasing. Apple researchers have introduced PICO (Perceptual Image Codec), a neural codec designed to optimize for human perception. It tackles key practical challenges: 1) Speed: A novel "one-shot context model" accelerates entropy encoding without sacrificing compression efficiency. 2) Artifacts: A dedicated TextFidelity loss preserves text clarity, and a TilingArtifact loss eliminates color seams between image tiles processed in parallel. 3) Control: It avoids the "hallucinations" common in GAN-based perceptual models. In a large-scale human evaluation (74,925 comparisons), PICO achieved the same perceived quality as standards like AV1, VVC, and JPEG AI while using only 30-43% of the bitrate. It also outperforms other learned perceptual codecs by 20-40%. Remarkably, it runs in 230ms (encode) and 150ms (decode) on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. While less efficient on synthetic graphics, PICO represents a significant shift from optimizing mathematical scores to directly targeting human visual experience, making high-quality perceptual compression practical for consumer devices. The work builds on expertise from WaveOne, whose team joined Apple and previously advanced neural video compression.

Shanghai's Leading Large Model Company Initiates A-Share Listing

Shanghai-based AI large language model leader MiniMax has initiated the process for an A-share listing in China, having filed a pre-IPO tutoring report with the Shanghai Securities Regulatory Bureau on May 29. This move positions it to compete with Zhipu AI for the title of the first major domestic LLM company to list on the A-share market. Having already completed an IPO in Hong Kong in January 2026, MiniMax's stock price has surged approximately 409% since its debut, with its market capitalization reaching around HK$263.45 billion (approximately RMB 227.55 billion) as of May 29. The company's rapid growth is supported by strong business performance. Its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) has grown over 100% in the past two months and now exceeds $300 million. It serves over one million global enterprise and developer clients and has around 300 million users worldwide. For the full year 2025, MiniMax reported revenue of $79.038 million, with a gross margin of 25.4%. While it reported an adjusted net loss of $250 million, the loss rate has narrowed significantly year-over-year. On the product front, MiniMax has released several flagship models this year, including MiniMax-M2.5, M2.6, and M2.7, with the first and last being open-sourced. Its models gained significant traction earlier in the year, briefly becoming the top model provider by usage share on the OpenRouter platform in February. The company has also upgraded its AI agent product, now named Mavis, and is preparing to launch its next-generation MiniMax-M3 model. Technical previews indicate M3 will feature a novel "MiniMax Sparse Attention" mechanism, promising substantial improvements in inference speed. MiniMax's push for an A-share listing reflects a broader trend among China's leading AI firms, including Zhipu AI, Moonshot AI, StepFun, and 01.AI, to seek public listings. This strategy aims to secure broader financing channels to support the immense computational costs and ongoing commercialization efforts inherent in developing advanced large language models.

Bit Digital CEO: Why I'm Still Buying More ETH

The author explains his decision to purchase more ETH, driven by a fundamental analysis rather than cyclical trends or narratives. He argues that framing ETH solely as "money" is a mistake; unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum prioritized utility by building a programmable settlement layer actively used for stablecoins, tokenized U.S. Treasuries, and AI agent transactions. While acknowledging coordination challenges within its ecosystem, he asserts that institutional capital needs a reliable, battle-tested settlement layer, which Ethereum uniquely provides at scale alongside a computational layer. He believes the catalyst for value reassessment will be institutional demand, not retail narrative hype, and that this demand is nearer than current prices reflect. His investment is based on ETH's role as a yield-generating asset underpinning the dominant smart contract platform, which processes trillions in transactions annually. He concludes that ETH's current price represents a significant discount to the value of the infrastructure it secures, making it a sound capital allocation.

Cardano (ADA) Ecosystem Growth Fuels Strong Increase In Staking Activity

Investors' confidence in Cardano (ADA) is rising sharply, especially in staking, despite price downside pressure. Staking activity has accelerated significantly, with over 21.75 billion ADA (nearly 58% of the total supply) now staked. This high level of participation secures the network and reflects strong long-term conviction within the community. According to infrastructure provider Everstake, this trend coincides with Cardano's ecosystem growth and signals confidence in its future. Additionally, on-chain data reveals renewed accumulation by large investors (whales). Wallets holding at least 1 million ADA now collectively control over 25.11 billion ADA, representing 67% of the supply—its highest level since July 2020. Analytics platform Santiment notes that such accumulation by key stakeholders is generally a bullish long-term indicator of confidence.
