Watching the recent World Cup matches has been a real rollercoaster, with several upsets likely leaving many people feeling the pinch 😂

While enjoying the game, most of our group mates are looking to predict the market and set up a position.

If you want to participate in predictions at low cost or even zero cost, check out XBIT's newly launched Spin & Win (lucky wheel) event.

The event runs until July 19th, and the logic is simple: complete a few basic tasks that are essentially free, and you’ll earn chances to spin the wheel for prizes.

They’re all straightforward tasks: download the official app, make your first deposit/trade, follow the official Twitter, join the TG group, invite friends, and so on.

The prize pool includes a $2 USDC cash reward and up to 5 prediction tickets.

Don’t underestimate those prediction tickets; once you have them, you can participate in XBIT's $1,000,000 USDC World Cup daily highlight prize pool—guess the match results correctly, and you’ll earn some USDC!

In simple terms, this is the official newbie/active user benefit during the World Cup.

More tasks completed = more spins = more prediction tickets to chase that hefty prize pool.

With the matches heating up, grab this chance to stack some starter chips with zero cost for protection.

Injective's moves this week are something else.

Vulcan's mainnet upgrade just dropped, and the x402 payment standard immediately went live on mainnet.

First off, Vulcan – gas fees have plummeted by 90%, and they've integrated top-tier oracle engines like Pyth Pro and SEDA.

For regular users, the most noticeable impact is that transaction fees are now so low they’re almost negligible.

For developers, EVM contracts can now uniformly access oracle data, significantly enhancing the dev experience.

Adding to this, the standardized USDC and the brand-new RWA market mean Vulcan has effectively institutionalized the three core components of on-chain trading: pricing, settlement assets, and tradable instruments.

Once the upgrade was prepped, the x402 payment standard quickly followed suit on mainnet.

This protocol cleverly reuses HTTP's 402 status code, which is a smart approach.

AI agents request data, the server returns quotes, and the agent directly pays with USDC, completing settlement in 650 milliseconds, with data returned.

The whole process requires no API keys, no accounts, and no manual approvals. For the first time, AI has the ability to spend its own cash.

Injective's block time is under a second, plus Vulcan has just driven costs to rock-bottom prices; this is the underlying payment infrastructure that machine economies truly need.

Put together, it’s essentially Vulcan paving the way and x402 hitting the gas.

In the future, an AI trading bot could instantly buy on-chain data, pay for inference costs, and automatically execute strategy settlements, all done on-chain with receipts for every transaction—auditable and traceable.

With a better path at a lower cost, AI could genuinely evolve into an independent economic entity's infrastructure.

Of course, the x402 ecosystem still needs time to grow, and the RWA market requires more real assets to go on-chain.

But the direction is clear; when every AI agent can pay instantly like a human, the structure of participants in the on-chain economy will fundamentally change.

Injective's recent actions are laying the groundwork for that shift.

With a solid foundation laid, it’s now about what can grow from it.

During this period, Injective is rolling out the Nova Plan, supporting and accelerating developers to build comprehensively on-chain.

Stay tuned; we’re looking forward to seeing some unique developments!

Honestly, I didn't see this coming; I'm already cashing in on the World Cup bonuses! Haha

🥳

On the 9th, I got onto the whitelist for XBIT's leveraged prediction.

Sticking to the principle of 'if there's a chance, take it; if there's something new, give it a try,' I quickly opened a position.

I checked the data on Polymarket for the Brazil vs. Morocco match, and over 57% were betting on Brazil to win, while only 22% were on a draw.

So I went against the grain and opened a 2.75x leverage bet on the draw.

To be honest, I was just trying out the product and didn’t have much confidence in the outcome.

But to my surprise! Brazil actually ended up getting held to a draw!

This trade only cost me $2, and I pulled back $18, turning my funds into 9x in just a few days.

After running through the whole process, I have to praise XBIT's product design.

Many platforms that offer leverage are essentially just gambling against you, but XBIT is different.

Whatever leverage position you open, they actually buy the corresponding amount in the real external market.

Plus, their risk control is very strict; only popular matches with good liquidity can have leverage, preventing everyone from getting chopped up by obscure small markets.

By the way, there's a sweet deal I've been cashing in on these past few days: XBIT's World Cup carnival event has some hefty rewards, with a total prize pool of 1.1 million USDC.

As long as you trade on the platform, you can earn prediction tickets. Every day there are featured matches; use these tickets to predict, and if you guess the right direction, you can directly earn real USDC.

There are also leaderboards for contracts and predictions with plenty of rewards.

While the profits can be enticing, I must remind everyone:

Once you add leverage to the prediction market, losses can also be magnified, and there's a risk of liquidation and going to zero.

So when you experience it, make sure to manage your principal well; treat it as a high-risk, high-reward strategy tool, and absolutely don't go all-in just because you're hyped!

The whole Chinese community and Binance Square are buzzing about $BEAT .

Every day it's getting pumped, and it's been over a week now, skyrocketing more than 6x.

Just in the last 24 hours, it surged over 80%+, and this isn't just a small bounce; we're talking serious capital pushing it up.

The scariest part? The trading volume hit 300 million, up 270%.

What does this indicate? It shows that it's not just one or two whales playing around; the entire market is diving in.

Plus, Alpha's ranking has jumped into the top three. You know what that means, right? So many projects are eyeing that leaderboard, and BEAT just cut straight through.

That's how the market rolls; it won't give all projects equal attention for no reason. Right now, most of the capital is focused on $BEAT . $BEAT

The overall market sentiment is currently cautious, with most participants still on the sidelines, hesitant to make any moves.

However, the money flow always has the sharpest instincts, and quality assets are already charting their own independent trends.

$BEAT is a prime example of this cycle, with a staggering increase of 339% this week and a 24-hour surge of over 23%; the trading volume has surpassed $110 million, making a strong entry into the Alpha leaderboard Top 4.

This clearly indicates that big money is continuously entering the market, and the overall acceptance is steadily rising.

The current surge is just the beginning of the trend; the long-term potential is worth digging into. $BEAT

Time flies, and in just a few days, the World Cup kicks off on June 11.

For the next couple of weeks, whether you're in the crypto space or not, all eyes and cash will definitely be on the prediction markets. After all, watching the game while placing bets is the essence of the experience.

While the matches haven't officially started, I've been doing some daily trades on @XBITDEX_ZH to get a feel for the market.

Just in time, their leverage prediction whitelist activity is in its final countdown, so hopping in now is a solid move.

If I can score some leaderboard rewards and invite bonuses, that'd be awesome, but if not, I can still snag some World Cup prediction vouchers for free.

During the World Cup, @XBITDEX will have a 1 million reward pool up for grabs.

Let’s not miss out; get on the whitelist now!

Hit me up if you have trading needs, and make sure to trade on XBIT—this could be a hidden gem.

We often hear the term community-driven in the industry, but what does it really mean?

It shouldn't just be a slogan in the community; rather, it should reflect a continuous inflow of retail buying on-chain when the market adjusts.

It's when the broader environment cools down, and there's still stable on-chain activity supporting it.

Looking at the recent performance of $BEAT , it perfectly exemplifies this.

FDV hit a peak of over $1.5 billion, with 24h contract volumes reaching $4B-$5B.

On-chain data shows that retail accumulation has been active at various time frames over the past 30 days, and a retention rate of 74.39% is pretty solid.

This trust, built by countless real retail traders after experiencing actual gains multiple times, is the toughest defense barrier to break.

This might also explain why it can break out into its own independent trend at critical junctures. $BEAT

Why does this bear market feel more desperate than the last one?

Because last time, it was just the price that fell, and people's spirits were still intact.

Back then, the stories of DeFi, L2, NFTs, RWA, and other sectors weren’t finished yet; folks were still holding onto their faith amidst the despair.

They believed that if they could just weather the winter, their holdings would soar a hundredfold in the next bull run.

This time, every sector has lost its charm.

The so-called value coins are nothing but massive unlocks and sell-offs;

The supposed tech upgrades are just excuses to rebrand and drop new coins for a cash grab.

Last time, we thought we were making early investments, growing alongside projects.

This round, retail traders have finally seen the light; this isn’t about value investing at all—it's just a massive zero-sum game.

The project teams don’t even pretend anymore; launch and it’s peak, while retail traders are left scrambling to chase after meme coins and pick pockets.

The mantra that used to keep us going—building Web3—now sounds like a joke.

When the market is devoid of new sectors that can support big funds and big dreams, and is only filled with endless meme chaos and PVP liquidation, the sense of exhaustion vastly outweighs the sense of expectation.

Essentially, this time we lost to a future lacking imagination.

That’s the real killer!

Many projects are talking about the full-chain ecosystem, but the biggest pain point for all DeFi players has always been: fragmented liquidity and cross-chain friction.

I just found out that Injective has finally dropped a big bomb: native $USDC and CCTP are officially live on the mainnet.

Taking a closer look at the underlying logic, this move has far greater strategic significance for the entire $INJ ecosystem than simply integrating a stablecoin.

There’s some serious alpha here worth dissecting.

1️⃣ Unlocking a $77 billion liquidity super reservoir.

Previously, funds entering the ecosystem had to navigate cumbersome cross-chain bridges and hefty friction costs.

But CCTP (Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol) is different; it directly bridges barriers between over 20 chains.

This means that up to $77 billion in external USDC liquidity can now seamlessly, natively, and with zero slippage flow directly into this ultra-fast network designed for finance.

The inflow channels for capital have been completely widened.

2️⃣ The real killer feature: One token, all VMs.

This is the aspect of the update that truly blew my mind.

Injective has rolled out a multi-VM token standard.

On Injective, Solidity developers and Wasm developers share the same native USDC liquidity pool for settlement!

This shared liquidity layer architecture has maximized the capital efficiency of the entire ecosystem.

3️⃣ Fully activating the 2026 core narrative: AI Agent automated trading.

What happens when the ultra-fast network, native stablecoin, and shared liquidity come together?

It unlocks scenarios that were previously limited by infrastructure from exploding on a large scale:

AI agent trading: Along with Injective’s MCP servers, AI Agents can now autonomously execute high-frequency trading, arbitrage, and position rebalancing in a T+0 real-time settlement environment that operates 24/7.

Micropayments and cross-border transactions: With settlements taking less than a second and costs being nearly zero, micropayments and real-time cross-border transactions have finally completed the commercial loop on-chain.

In summary:

This move by Injective is an epic liquidity ammunition boost for dApps within the ecosystem.

The infrastructure is already laid out; now it’s all about the on-chain data and ecosystem applications exploding.

For those holding $INJ and developers still on the sidelines, this is definitely a critical turning point worth paying close attention to.

Recently, Injective's upgrade is actually quite crucial, and many people may not have fully realized what it is doing.

Circle's $USDC and CCTP have officially integrated with Injective, bringing the entire infrastructure of compliant stablecoins + native cross-chain liquidity directly in.

More importantly, the mainnet upgrade proposal.

What Injective wants to do is not just support USDC, but to push itself towards becoming a stablecoin settlement layer.

Several points can be simply broken down:

First, all ERC20 trading pairs will be required to undergo metadata verification, which is actually solving many long-standing issues on the chain, such as inconsistent asset standards and differences in information after cross-chain transactions.

Setting the standards at the bottom level makes it meaningful to do combinations and expansions later.

Second, the issuance of native USDC will expand on Injective.

This means that liquidity is not just used to bridge over, but begins to settle on-chain.

Third, combined with CCTP, cross-chain capital flow will be cleaner, no longer relying on traditional bridge liquidity pool models, and the flow of funds will be more direct.

Looking at these pieces together, the logic is actually very clear:

What Injective is doing is transforming itself into a foundational network that can support stablecoin settlement + cross-chain liquidity + programmable payments.

The role of $INJ here is also very clear; all settlements must ultimately go through it.

If stablecoins really become the core medium for on-chain payments and AI agent economies, then whoever can provide a stable, low-cost, and composable settlement layer will have their long-term value amplified.

Have you all noticed that whether it's CEX or various public chains and protocols, they are all embracing AI!

On March 5th, @injective @InjectiveLabsCN also released a new Injective CLI Skill.

This update essentially wraps Injective's CLI tool into a capability that can be called by an AI agent.

It seems like a rather ordinary update, but it actually contains a lot of information.

To put it simply:

In the future, many on-chain operations will not require you to manually type a bunch of complex commands, nor will you need to repeatedly check the documentation.

The AI agent can directly call the Injective CLI in the terminal, helping you query on-chain data, send transactions, manage keys, and even automatically execute a series of operational processes.

Technically, it has actually accomplished several key things:

1⃣ It has automatically mapped the subcommands and parameters of the CLI, so developers no longer need to remember a long string of flags;

2⃣ It has unified wallet handling, network endpoint selection, and gas configuration;

3⃣ It can directly integrate into the AI workflow, allowing the agent to perform on-chain tasks.

In other words, it essentially equips the AI agent with a complete blockchain operation terminal.

The significance of such tools is not just about convenience.

If AI agent + on-chain automation becomes the trend of the future, then what developers need is this kind of infrastructure interface that can be directly called by the agent.

The CLI Skill format essentially lowers the barrier for AI and blockchain interaction.

For developers, building dApps, creating automated strategies, or writing on-chain tools will be much easier.

From a broader perspective, this also indicates that Injective is continuing to push itself towards AI + financial infrastructure.

Many people usually focus on price or narrative, but updates like this at the development tool level often truly determine the speed of ecosystem growth.

Surprise！

Received the heartfelt message from @iryscn just before the Lantern Festival.

This bowl of steaming glutinous rice balls is probably the warmest comfort in the tumultuous year of 2026.

Reunion and lasting togetherness.

Hope that in 2026, everyone can be as complete and sweet as this bowl of glutinous rice balls.❤️

Thank you to the thoughtful and caring community at @iryscn !

This circle has never lacked opportunities; what it lacks is the eye to discover them.

@KodiakFi The New Year Trading Competition has 3 days left (deadline January 31), and rewards are available for the top ten in trading volume, sharing a total prize of $69,000.

I took a look at the real-time leaderboard, and currently, the top trading volume has just surpassed $10 million, the second place is $9 million, and the last place has a trading volume of only $1.86 million.

At this level, in our Chinese trading circle, it might just be the level of a mid-tier player in a single day.

This means the window of opportunity hasn't closed yet, and the competition in the field is much lower than expected.

Entering now, you have the chance to use the trading intensity and rhythm we are familiar with to hit the leaderboard.

The prize distribution is very straightforward: $20,000 for the first place, $12,000 for the second place, and everyone in the top ten gets a share. This is solid, bricks you can earn just by ranking based on trading volume.

In addition to the prize money, you can also enjoy:

1⃣ Lower fee environment: RWA markets (such as XAU gold, XAG silver) have reduced transaction fees, combined with 20x leverage, resulting in a more favorable cost structure.

2⃣ VIP system: Staking $KDK can enjoy up to 75% fee discount, making high-frequency trading even more powerful.

3⃣ Points season: Points will be automatically accumulated during trading, and at the end of the season, you can also share $xKDK, which equals dual benefits of competition prize + protocol incentives.

4⃣ The platform's momentum is also online: spot trading volume has broken $5.75 billion, perpetual trading volume is steadily rising, and the liquidity foundation is evident.

In simple terms, this is a low competition density + high certainty rewards + multiple gains, a short and fast 3-day opportunity window.

Many people are already trading; why not allocate some firepower here for a ranking reward;

Or directly fill in the invitation code: 8JP7UJTR

Since the launch of Kodiak's Perp trading, it has been incentivizing traders, having distributed $500K in incentives, and there may be more rewards in the future, so keep an eye on it.

Today, AI and technology have developed to such an extent that looking back, the fall of the Qing Dynasty was only more than 100 years ago.

The evolution and accumulation of humanity over the past few thousand, even tens of thousands of years, have all been paving the way for these short 100-plus years.

The Industrial Revolution, electricity, the internet, computers, and today's AI—every major transformation compresses the time scale.

In the past, a technology might take decades to slowly permeate society; now it only takes a few years, or even less.

In just a generation, the world's modes of production, communication, power structures, and individual destinies have undergone earth-shattering changes.

So fast that history hasn't had time to settle into common knowledge, reality has already entered the next version.

Perhaps we are truly living in an extremely rare time window, the steepest part of the acceleration curve of human civilization.

Standing here, it is both fortunate and very pressuring.

As a long-term holder of $INJ, I feel it's necessary to have a serious discussion about the IIP-617 proposal that @injective just voted through a couple of days ago.

The core of the IIP-617 proposal is just one thing: $INJ Supply Squeeze, which means permanently increasing the deflation rate of $INJ by 100%.

Many governance proposals are just minor parameter adjustments, but this time is different; this is a real upgrade that changes the monetary structure of $INJ.

$INJ is no longer just a token with a deflation mechanism; it is now an asset that actively compresses supply at the protocol level.

Let's talk about the most critical change.

The Supply Squeeze will tighten issuance parameters at the protocol level, leading to a long-term decrease in the speed at which new $INJ enters the market.

More importantly, this mechanism works in conjunction with the Community BuyBack.

One is responsible for issuing less, while the other is responsible for continuous buyback and destruction.

The Community BuyBack will start operating in October 2024 and has already accumulated the destruction of 6,870,000 $INJ.

The amount of destruction itself is already large, and combined with the decrease in issuance speed, its effect may be exponentially amplified.

In other words, a decrease in new supply + a fixed monthly rhythm of buybacks and destruction means that $INJ officially enters a long-term deflationary phase.

Observing the deflation path of $INJ is actually a continuous evolution route.

From the earliest burn auction to INJ 2.0, 3.0, and now to the Community BuyBack, this Supply Squeeze is the next step along this line.

Early on, it was about verifying the feasibility of deflation; mid-term was about expanding participation; now we begin to focus on the efficiency of the long-term monetary structure.

One point I personally value is that this upgrade does not introduce complex new mechanisms.

From the holder's perspective, the protocol utilization rate increases, and the scale of buybacks increases accordingly.
The issuance side is locked in a lower range, and supply elasticity is compressed.

Against the backdrop of @InjectiveLabsCN continuously advancing RWA, derivatives, and institutional-level applications, this deflation framework is actually crucial.

The Supply Squeeze may not immediately change the price, but it will change the direction of supply and demand evolution for $INJ in the coming years.

For long-term participants, this is more important than short-term volatility.

I prefer to view this upgrade as a fundamental adjustment.

It is locking in a more restrained monetary system for a larger-scale financial network in advance.

Today, the global assets have collapsed, except for gold and silver, almost all assets are declining.

The $BTC we are most concerned about almost dropped below 90,000 USD.

It’s still because of tariffs; Trump has picked up the weapon of tariffs again to impose taxes on Europe. Thus, the market is worried about another downturn and begins to decline.

This thing from Trump sounds quite bizarre; why is America suddenly interested in Greenland again? What is so special about that place? Personally, I believe this is not his main goal; the core is still to divert attention to win the midterm elections.

Now Trump is already very experienced; only by wielding the weapon of tariffs can he attract votes and create public opinion favorable to himself.

Greenland is just an opportunity.

I have to admire this old man; he really knows how to stir things up. At his age, he still spares no effort in working hard for his position, which makes me feel embarrassed!

Of course, barring any accidents, he will eventually announce the cessation of turmoil and win once again. If you don't believe it, just wait and see; it's a sure thing.

With less than a month until the New Year, I have completely relaxed and probably won’t make any moves before the New Year unless a black swan event occurs.

I also recommend everyone to actually take it a bit "slower" in market investments. Stay away from the mentality of getting rich overnight; investing becomes much easier.

Sometimes it feels great to watch #meme pump up, but if you look at it over a longer time, chasing a few meme stocks might not actually earn much by the end of the year, and could even lead to losses.

Isn’t this just a waste of effort! $ETH $BTC

Injective 26 has also destroyed 40,000+ $INJ. At this rate, by the first half of 2026, 7,000,000 $INJ will be destroyed.

It is crucial that the destruction of $INJ is done through community buybacks.

After carefully reviewing the details of this community buyback mechanism, it is indeed very Web3 fundamentalist.

Unlike the previous auction destruction, community buybacks benefit the participants of the @InjectiveLabsCN ecosystem more, allowing real users to gain the dividends brought by ecosystem development from the buybacks.

The process is actually very simple:

1️⃣ Whitelist real on-chain active addresses that have used dApps, directly keeping bots and opportunists out.

2️⃣ As real users who have obtained the whitelist, put $INJ in to participate in the buyback.

3️⃣ Tokens are directly destroyed, reducing the supply.

4️⃣ Real profits generated on the Injective chain are distributed to real users on the chain.

Essentially, it is a win-win-win approach, where users convert on-chain behavior into long-term rights; $INJ continues to deflate and become scarcer; more users pay attention and convert into real users.

This is currently the only buyback mechanism that can simultaneously achieve deflation + profit distribution + community participation.

It is also a very good arbitrage method during a bear market.
