Özet

The Sandbox ecosystem has integrated Corners, a new Web3 platform currently in invite-only beta. Corners enables users to create, curate, and share collections of internet content (URLs) as transferable digital assets called "Corner Coins." These assets allow communities to form around topics and gain value through curation and contributions. The platform is deeply integrated with the SAND token, which powers its economy, rewards user activity, and enables trading. Corners expands The Sandbox beyond gaming into digital culture distribution. It is built on Base (Coinbase's Layer 2) and is scheduled for a full public launch in early 2026. Early adopters can join the waitlist at corners.market.

The Sandbox ecosystem welcomes Corners, a new Web3 platform in invite-only beta that lets participants coin and gain value from Internet content

Expanding The Sandbox ecosystem, Corners is a new Web3 platform to coin, curate, and share the content of the Internet, allowing curators to gain value from collections of URLs from all corners of the Internet

The Sandbox and Animoca Brands welcome the new free-to-use curation platform, Corners, into their ecosystem. Corners has launched an invite-only beta where users can coin, create, and share collections of internet content. Users can join the waitlist at www.corners.market.

Corners allows anyone to create a “Corner Coin” – a user-created, transferrable digital asset based on a curated collection of internet links, conversations, and content. Once a corner is created, anyone can share and curate content for it, and contribute to its growth and value by adding links or new content.

The launch of Corners expands The Sandbox’s ecosystem beyond gaming, as previously announced as part of The Sandbox 3.0 rollout, and into a broader distribution network of culture while introducing new utility for the SAND token.

Robby Yung, CEO of The Sandbox, said: “Corners is a great example of how partners can help extend the utility of the SAND token and support the continued evolution of The Sandbox ecosystem beyond gaming. By enabling curators to tokenize the content they love, Corners opens meaningful new opportunities for creativity and participation. We’re pleased to support products that build on our foundation and bring more communities into The Sandbox’s wider ecosystem.”

Corners deeply integrates the SAND token as its main utility token, powering platform activity. Curators can earn rewards for their activity and curation. Additionally, a portion of the platform’s activity is used to reward Corner Coin holders with the SAND token, promoting its distribution and use within the ecosystem.

The SAND token will also become available on Base through an initial liquidity pool on Aerodrome. This expansion will make the SAND token and The Sandbox ecosystem accessible beyond Ethereum and Polygon, offering a new on-ramp for on-chain communities and making it easier to move the SAND token across the crypto ecosystem.

Ahead of the full public rollout scheduled for early 2026, Corners is releasing a comprehensive “How to build your corner” guide on www.corners.market to provide additional details on getting started, understanding market price, transferrable digital assets, and more.

Early adopters who wish to discover and create their own corner can join the waitlist at www.corners.market.

About Corners

Corners explores a new paradigm for digital interaction on the Internet. On Corners, communities form around a collection of links, and every community becomes a valued community collection. Communities form around a topic, idea, or niche, and others can trade those markets, curate content, and contribute to the growth of the corner via comments and upvotes.

Corners is launched on Base, Coinbase’s layer 2 blockchain, and supported by The Sandbox and powered by the SAND token.

This week, CEOs from Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America are scheduled to meet with bipartisan senators to discuss key issues, including bank permissibility, interest payments, and illicit finance concerns. The Senate faces challenges in advancing the bill, with unresolved ethics and quorum language from the White House and complications from its division between the Banking and Agriculture committees. Key concerns include stablecoin yields, conflicts of interest, and DeFi regulation. Some Democrats demand provisions addressing potential conflicts related to the President's family's crypto involvements. A markup session is tentatively scheduled for mid-December.

While Altcoins Bleed, Ozak AI’s Presale Is Breaking Records — Analysts Expect 700× Growth After Listing

While the broader altcoin market has struggled in 2025, Ozak AI ($OZ) is experiencing record-breaking demand in its presale. Currently in Phase 7, the AI and DePIN-driven project has raised over $4.85 million, selling more than 1 billion tokens at $0.014 each. The token price is set to increase in the next phase, with a long-term listing target of $1.00. The project's core utility lies in its hybrid infrastructure, combining AI automation with decentralized computing for predictive analytics and cross-chain compatibility. It has completed a smart contract audit and secured key partnerships with Hive Intel, Weblume, Meganet, and SINT to enhance its data, analytics, and execution capabilities. Analysts highlight its rising presale demand, working product, and strong partnerships as reasons for its post-listing growth potential, positioning it as a utility-focused infrastructure project rather than a speculative asset.

How prediction markets raise insider trading and credit risks

Prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket are experiencing significant growth, with billions in trading volume, but face scrutiny over ethical and financial risks. Concerns include insider trading, as seen in a manipulated map edit during the Russo-Ukrainian War that influenced a Polymarket bet resolution, and wash trading, which comprised up to 60% of volume on Polymarket. Regulators, including the CFTC, have granted some approvals, but states are challenging these platforms over gambling classifications. Analysts warn that easy access and gamified interfaces could lead to credit overextension and loan defaults, introducing new risks for lenders and consumers.

Bull vs. Bear Debate: Is the Profit Moat of Stablecoin Leader CRCL Solid?

The article presents a heated debate surrounding Circle (NYSE: CRCL), the issuer of the stablecoin USDC, focusing on the sustainability of its business model following its IPO and Q3 2025 earnings report. Key bearish points, led by figures like Jiang Zhuo'er, argue that CRCL's profits are unsustainable. They compare it to a bank reliant on an interest rate spread, which is highly vulnerable to Federal Reserve rate cuts. Critics highlight that over 60% of profits are paid to distributor Coinbase, leaving CRCL with a thin margin. They warn that competition from traditional financial giants like JPMorgan could easily disrupt its model, and that its regulatory advantage is a temporary benefit, not a permanent moat. Bullish commentators, including @BTCdayu and @qinbafrank, counter that CRCL is a long-term infrastructure play, not a simple bank. They believe current profit-sharing is a strategic cost to achieve market dominance and network effects, similar to companies like Amazon in their early days. They argue that future growth from massive USDC adoption (potentially reaching trillions) will far outweigh the impact of falling interest rates. They see compliance as a powerful, long-term moat that will eliminate smaller competitors. Additional short-term concerns include a significant sell-off pressure from the post-IPO lockup expiration and a structural barrier to USDC's use in U.S. retail payments due to its classification as a taxable asset. In summary, the debate pits short-term cyclical risks (interest rates, high costs, sell pressure) against a long-term structural opportunity (market growth, network effects, compliance as a barrier to entry). The core question remains whether CRCL's current model is a fragile interest-rate play or a foundational bet on the future of digital currency.
