Tether Launches Tether.ai — AI, USDT, BTC All in One Chain

Tether is creating something new called Tether.ai. It is a smart AI working alongside blockchain so anybody can run AI on any device even if they never get passwords or keys. 

It’s safe because there’s no central control. You can also use coins like USDT and Bitcoin with it! Tether.ai may also interface with Tether's other tools, such as Keet and Pear. Paolo Ardoino announced on his official X account, "Tether.ai coming soon!"

Bybit Is Adding U.S. Stocks, Gold, and Oil – Not Just Cryptocurrency!

Bybit, a big crypto exchange, just said it will soon let people trade U.S. stocks like Apple and Microsoft, as well as gold, oil, and stock market indices. CEO Ben Zhou shared this news on May 3. 

Bybit intends to launch this around the end of June 2025.  All trades will happen on the same app people use now. Experts say crypto and regular finance are mixing more and more, as exchanges expand their offerings.

Big Win for Pi Coin! BANXA Makes Buying Easy Worldwide

Pi Coin just got a big boost! BANXA, a popular platform, passed something called KYB (it’s like KYC but for businesses). Now, BANXA can sell Pi Coin in over 100 countries

People can buy it with cash — no more confusing peer-to-peer stuff. This is great news, especially for beginners and countries where crypto is hard to use. It also keeps things safe and trusted, so users don’t have to worry about scams.

XRP Tumbles Hard — But a Big Comeback Could Be Next!

XRP dropped 6.8% this week and now costs $2.17. Ripple released 500M XRP from escrow, which made prices fall. Plus, the U.S. delayed a decision on the XRP ETF, making people worried. 

But good news may come! ProShares will launch a futures ETF on May 14, and Ripple got approval to work in Dubai, where there’s big money in payments. Many think this could help XRP recover soon. Let’s watch what happens next!
