Singapore, Singapore, February 13th, 2026, Chainwire

Ethereum-based payments settlement network Morph has integrated USDT0, the omnichain Tether liquidity network powered by LayerZero. The move gives Morph, which aims to become the settlement layer for everyday money, direct access to unified USDT liquidity across 18+ blockchains.

For developers building payment apps, merchant tools or even DeFi protocols on Morph, this means they can tap into a massive, ready-made liquidity pool from day one without the headache of managing a dozen different bridged token contracts.

No more bridges. No more wrapped tokens

Traditionally, using USDT on another blockchain requires a bridge. This process locks the original tokens and mints a new, “wrapped” version on the destination chain.

These wrapped variants are not the same asset. They are separate tokens backed by assets held in complex smart contracts, leading to liquidity fragmentation — where the same currency is trapped in isolated pools — and introducing counterparty risk if a bridge fails.

USDT0 proposes a different model. Instead of locking and minting, it uses a burn-and-mint mechanism. To move USDT from Chain A to Chain B, tokens are burned on Chain A and minted directly from Tether’s canonical supply on Chain B.

As a result, USDT0’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard creates a single, consistent asset across all supported networks.

What USDT0 enables for builders on Morph

While many L2s compete for general DeFi activity, Morph is engineered for a specific vertical: payments. Its architecture — featuring sub-300ms block times and zero-fee stablecoin transfers — targets merchant settlement, remittances, crypto cards issuance, and treasury management.

For such use cases, deep and frictionless liquidity is non-negotiable. USDT, with a market cap exceeding $185 billion, represents the largest pool of stablecoin liquidity in crypto.

As the USDT0 integration is now live on Morph mainnet, developers on Morph can integrate what is effectively a universal USDT, slashing technical overhead and simplifying cross-chain user experience, which means:

  • Payment applications can process cross-border transactions with instant settlement and minimal overhead.
  • DeFi protocols can access deeper liquidity without managing multiple stablecoin variants.
  • Merchant platforms can accept stablecoin payments with seamless conversion and settlement.
  • Financial institutions can execute treasury operations with predictable behavior across chains.

The combination of USDT0’s unified liquidity and Morph’s payment-optimized infrastructure lays a powerful foundation for next-generation financial applications.

We’re excited to work alongside the USDT0 team in advancing the vision of unified, omnichain liquidity that makes stablecoins truly borderless.

Money at the speed of life.

Claude's Major New Feature: Screen Recording + Voice, Distilling Your Skills into AI Tasks in One Click

Claude has introduced a major new feature called "Record a Skill," available for Pro, Max, and Team users. This function, found in the Claude desktop app's CoWork menu, allows users to create reusable AI skills simply by recording their screen and providing voice narration while performing a task. Claude then automatically analyzes the recording and generates a functional Skill. A hands-on test confirmed the feature works seamlessly. Users start recording via the Skills manager, perform their workflow while verbally explaining the steps and logic, and avoid including sensitive information. After recording, Claude processes the content and creates the Skill, which can be saved and later invoked with a slash command (/). This eliminates the need for manual adjustments or writing complex instruction files. The innovation goes beyond mere efficiency. Previously, creating a Skill required writing a detailed SKILL.md file in Markdown—a significant barrier for non-technical users. "Record a Skill" bypasses this by directly capturing both actions and the implicit reasoning shared in the narration. This lowers the barrier to knowledge transfer and automation, addressing a core challenge in corporate knowledge management: the difficulty of getting experts to write and maintain documentation. However, the feature also highlights a shift in the nature of work. A case study from March 2026 showed a freelancer whose five-year client relationship was effectively replaced by a hand-coded Claude Skill automating their content workflow. With the even lower barrier of screen recording, the ability to distill personal expertise into automatable skills accelerates this trend. The "moat" for work is moving from simply knowing how to do a task to mastering tasks that are difficult or impossible to automate.

Feeding AI "Noise" Can Also Boost Scores, This Work Enables Positive Transfer with Noise

Feeding "Noise" to AI Can Improve Performance: A Method Enables Positive Transfer from Noise This work, Semi-Supervised Noise Adaptation (SSNA), introduces a Noise Adaptation Framework (NAF) that challenges traditional transfer learning. Instead of requiring a labeled source domain of real data (e.g., images, text), NAF uses randomly generated Gaussian noise as the source. For a target task with C classes, it constructs C noise clusters by sampling from Gaussian distributions. Although this synthetic noise contains no semantic meaning, NAF trains it to form a discriminative class structure in a shared representation space—clustering same-class noise and separating different classes. The key is aligning this learned structure from the noise domain to the real, sparsely labeled target domain. A small number of target labels are still essential to establish the correspondence between noise clusters and actual classes. The training objective combines: 1) supervised loss on the few labeled target samples, 2) classification loss for the noise to build its structure, and 3) a distribution alignment loss (using Negative Domain Similarity) to minimize the gap between the noise and target domains in the shared space. Experiments show significant gains in few-label settings. With just 4 labels per class, NAF with a ResNet-18 backbone improves accuracy over a standard supervised baseline (ERM) by +12.35% on CIFAR-10, +7.61% on CIFAR-100, +4.38% on DTD-47, and +2.74% on Caltech-101. It also benefits fine-grained datasets and scales to ImageNet-1K (with 100 labels/class) and text classification (AG News). NAF can be integrated into existing semi-supervised methods like FixMatch for further gains. Ablation studies confirm the transferred benefit comes from the discriminative structure of the noise, not randomness itself. Collapsing all noise into a single point causes negative transfer, while increasing separation between noise cluster centers improves performance. The amount of noise per class is less critical once a basic structure forms. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that for positive transfer, the semantic content of source data may not be necessary. What can be effectively transferred is the *organizational structure* of categories within a representation space. This offers a promising alternative for scenarios where real source data is unavailable due to privacy, copyright, or procurement constraints.

Bitcoin, XRP left out – The S&P Digital Asset Index shows crypto’s biggest shift yet

Pantera Capital and S&P Dow Jones Indices have launched the S&P Digital Asset Index, a basket of 18 cryptocurrencies focused on fundamental strength. Notably, Bitcoin and XRP are excluded from the initial confirmed assets, which include Ethereum, BNB, Solana, Hyperliquid, and Tron. This selection highlights a potential market shift, prioritizing Layer-1 networks with proven scalability, utility, and sustainable on-chain revenue—reportedly $3 billion annualized in the past six months—over mere market capitalization. Analysts suggest this "fundamental index for crypto" could guide institutional capital toward assets with real economic activity, possibly leading to a significant divergence in the next market cycle where fundamentals, not just price momentum, drive investment.

The White House's "Exclusive" Teleprompter Operator Makes Over $100,000 by Profiting from Insider Information Predictions

"White House Speech Prompt Operator Earns Over $100,000 Using Insider Information on Prediction Markets" U.S. White House staffer Gabriel Perez, a long-time teleprompter operator for former President Donald Trump, has been suspended without pay for using non-public information to profit on prediction markets. As one of the few individuals with advance access to Trump's prepared speech texts, Perez placed bets on specific words or phrases Trump would mention in speeches over a three-month period, earning over $100,000. His activities were flagged by the prediction platform Kalshi, which froze over $90,000 in his account and reported him to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). While Perez avoided criminal charges, he is required to return his profits and cease such trading. This case marks the third major instance of insider trading on prediction markets involving government or corporate insiders, following earlier cases involving a special forces soldier and a Google engineer. The incident highlights the vulnerability of "mention" markets on prediction platforms, where individuals with advance knowledge or even the speakers themselves can easily manipulate outcomes. In response, platforms like Kalshi are tightening rules, now requiring users to disclose their employers to help prevent similar abuses.

White House 'Exclusive' Teleprompter Operator Cashes in Over $100,000 Using Insider Information for Predictions

The White House is embroiled in another insider trading scandal, this time involving a teleprompter operator for former President Trump. Gabriel Perez, a longtime aide who controlled Trump's speech teleprompters, used his advance knowledge of speech content to profit over $100,000 on prediction markets like Kalshi by betting on which specific words Trump would mention. After Kalshi's monitoring systems flagged suspicious trading activity and froze his funds, the case was referred to the CFTC. Perez was suspended without pay by Trump, who called his actions "disgusting." Unlike previous insiders prosecuted in similar cases, Perez faced no criminal charges, only a CFTC settlement requiring him to return profits and cease such trading. The article highlights how "mention" markets are uniquely vulnerable to manipulation by insiders or even the speakers themselves, citing examples like a Grammy host jokingly saying a random word and a Coinbase CEO reading all prediction market options aloud. As prediction markets like Kalshi tighten compliance—such as requiring users to disclose employers—the piece argues this crackdown on insider trading, while promoting regulatory compliance, may move these markets further from "collective wisdom" and closer to being pure gambling venues.
