Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

Solana’s DePIN sector maintained strong operational activity in April 2026 as revenue stabilized above $2.5 million, according to Syndica’s latest Solana DePIN Deep Dive report.

The report tracked major Solana-based DePIN protocols, including Helium, Render, Hivemapper, UpRock, NATIX, XNET, and GEODNET. Collectively, these projects generated $2.8 million in April revenue, holding near March’s $2.9M after several months of rapid expansion.

Revenue Stabilizes While Rewards Continue to Decline Although revenue remained resilient, deployer rewards continued to weaken. In April 2026, Solana DePIN protocols collectively distributed $1.8 million in rewards, representing a 14% decline from March.

The decline suggests protocols may be shifting toward more efficient network participation models as operators adjust to changing market conditions and lower incentive payouts. Despite softer rewards, overall protocol usage remained elevated across several sectors, particularly wireless infrastructure.

Wireless Networks Continue to Dominate Activity Wireless-focused DePIN projects remained the largest contributors to network usage across the Solana ecosystem. In April 2026, Dabba Network, Helium Mobile, and XNET collectively delivered 44,000 terabytes of offloaded data. While this marked a slight 2% decline from March’s all-time high of 45,000 terabytes, activity still stood at 17 times the level from April 2025.

Helium Mobile continued to lead the sector. The protocol generated $2.3 million in April revenue, representing an 8% decline from March’s all-time high but still the second-strongest month in its history. Cumulative Helium Mobile revenue since January 2025 has now surpassed $20 million.

Network usage also remained strong. Average daily offload held steady at 111 terabytes while average daily subscribers climbed to a new record of 2.9 million users. The stable offload rate despite subscriber growth suggests that average usage per user remained consistent as the network expanded.

Dabba Network also maintained strong activity despite slowing deployment growth. The protocol consumed 40,000 terabytes of data during April, only 5% below March’s level. Cumulative network consumption surpassed 205,000 terabytes. However, new deployments slowed to 2,000 as attention shifted toward the $DBT token generation event.

XNET also continued posting operational growth. The network delivered 164 terabytes of offloaded data in April, up 9% from March and marking its third consecutive monthly all-time high. Cumulative XNET offload crossed 1,098 terabytes during the month, surpassing the 1 petabyte milestone.

Mapping and Location Protocols Show Mixed Trends Mapping-focused DePIN projects recorded uneven performance during April. Hivemapper processed 4 million mapping events and 10 million kilometers mapped during the month. These figures represented declines of 20% and 9%, respectively, compared to March. Notably, NATIX resumed token burns after pausing buy-and-burn activity for two months.

Elsewhere in the location infrastructure sector, Onocoy recorded accelerating growth. The protocol added 341 new minerstations during April, representing a 13% increase from March and its strongest expansion month since late 2025.

Wingbits launched its $WINGS token on April 22. By the end of April, cumulative claims reached 11.3 million $WINGS.

Ambios maintained elevated operating activity, captured 27 million new streams in April, holding close to March’s record levels.

Compute and AI Protocols Continue to Expand Compute, AI, and data-focused DePIN projects delivered mixed but generally improving results in April. Nosana showed signs of stabilization after several months of declining activity, while UpRock reached a new all-time high in revenue.

Render also continued recovering from earlier weakness. The protocol generated $221,000 in burn-based revenue during April, up 26% from March and marking the second consecutive month of gains following February’s low. April also marked the first time Render's revenue exceeded $200,000 since September, 2025.

Syndica’s report also showed that DePIN growth continues shifting between sectors rather than slowing uniformly across the ecosystem. Wireless networks remain the dominant revenue drivers, while compute and AI protocols increasingly attract attention through GPU integrations and infrastructure partnerships.

Solana vs Hyperliquid

Render rose to $2.25 on May 26, gaining 13.16% over 24 hours and 24.16% over seven days, according to crypto.news price data. 

Summary

Render rallied above $2.25 as daily active addresses and new wallets hit 12-week highs together. Derivatives volume rose 126.52% while open interest climbed 47.27%, pointing to stronger trader activity. Render’s AI compute narrative gained attention as GPU demand stayed central to the 2026 market. The token traded between $1.99 and $2.26 during the same 24-hour period, while trading volume stood at $219.35 million.

The move came as Santiment reported a sharp rise in Render’s on-chain activity. The analytics platform said daily active addresses climbed to 394 in one day, while 118 new wallets were created. Both figures reached their highest levels in 12 weeks.

Santiment said “Render’s on-chain activity has seen a major breakout in late May.” The firm added that the token moved back above $2.25 for the first time in more than four months.

The increase in active addresses shows that more wallets used the network during the move. The rise in new wallets also points to fresh users entering the Render ecosystem during the latest price rebound.

AI demand keeps Render in focus Render has remained closely tied to the artificial intelligence trade because its network supports decentralized GPU computing. The project connects users who need computing power with distributed GPU providers that can process rendering, machine learning, and AI-related workloads.

Santiment linked much of Render’s 2026 momentum to demand for AI infrastructure. It said Render has positioned itself as a decentralized GPU computing network that can support AI training, machine learning, and advanced rendering tasks.

https://twitter.com/SantimentData/status/2059130573461860836?s=20

As previously reported by crypto.news, Render as a token is often linked to GPU scarcity and decentralized rendering demand, and is widely connected by the market to AI compute and distributed GPU use cases.

The same report also noted that Render can benefit when investors focus on persistent GPU bottlenecks and distributed rendering power. However, it also listed competition from cloud providers and other DePIN GPU networks as a risk for the sector.

Bollinger Bands show a stretched breakout Technical data showed Render trading above the upper Bollinger Band at $2.176. The middle band stood near $1.944, while the lower band was around $1.712.

A move above the upper band often shows strong short-term buying pressure. It can also mean the move is stretched if buyers fail to hold the breakout zone. For Render, the $2.17 to $2.18 area now serves as the first key level to watch.

If Render stays above that range, the breakout structure remains active. A clean push above $2.27 would give buyers stronger confirmation because it would clear the recent high area.

If price falls back below $2.17, the setup would weaken. In that case, the middle Bollinger Band near $1.94 would become the next major support zone on the daily chart.

Render price chart, source: crypto.news Volume also increased during the upward move. The chart showed volume near 2.49 million, which supported the breakout attempt. Still, volume did not reach the kind of extreme level seen during larger past moves.

The Aroon Oscillator stood at 50, showing positive momentum but not full trend strength. The recovery from negative territory showed that buyers had regained short-term control.

Derivatives data shows stronger trader interest Derivatives data added another layer to Render’s move. According to Coinglass data, trading volume rose 126.52% to $302.39 million, while open interest increased 47.27% to $112.82 million.

Rising open interest means more futures positions were active during the move. When open interest climbs with price, it often shows that traders are adding exposure instead of only closing old positions.

Source: Coinglass This does not confirm that all new positions are bullish. It only shows that more capital has entered Render-linked derivatives markets. That makes the next price move more important because crowded positioning can raise volatility.

Render’s market capitalization stood at $1.16 billion, with a fully diluted valuation of $1.20 billion. The token ranked #63 by market cap, while its circulating supply stood at 518.74 million tokens.

Despite the latest rally, Render remained far below its all-time high of $13.53, set on Mar. 17, 2024. crypto.news data also showed that Render was still down 53.61% over the past year, even after gaining 24.71% over the past 30 days.

The current setup leaves Render at a clear short-term test. On-chain activity has improved, AI demand remains part of the market story, and derivatives activity has expanded. Price now needs to hold above the breakout zone to keep the rebound intact.

Altcoins

26 May 2026 | 14:59 Render broke above all three moving averages on record volume with on-chain activity at 12-week highs.

Key Takeaways:

RENDER up 32% in past 7 days, breaking above all three SMAs. 394 active addresses and 118 new wallets, highest since March 12. $2.48 resistance is the last barrier before 2026 high retest. Break above $2.48 opens path to approximately $2.70 January peak. Failure to hold current levels brings $2.20-$2.25 support into play. RENDER is trading at $2.357 today, up 32% for the week, and the move has substance behind it. Price broke above all three moving averages in a single candle – SMA50 at $1.888, SMA100 at $1.744, and SMA200 at $1.748, on volume of 9.79M, the highest daily volume seen in months. The SMA100 and SMA200 are sitting just four cents apart, which makes that $1.74-$1.75 zone a particularly strong floor if price were to pull back sharply.

But the move stopped at $2.41. And what’s sitting just above that is the level that matters most right now.

The $2.48 resistance: why this specific level is the one to watch The blue horizontal line on the chart sits at approximately $2.48 to $2.50, and its history explains its importance. This is the level that capped price both before and after RENDER reached its 2026 high of approximately $2.65-$2.70 on January 11. It stopped price on the way up into that high, and again on the way back down when price tried to recover. A level that stops price from both sides has a demonstrated concentration of sellers, it’s not a randomly drawn line.

The current move peaked at $2.423 on today’s candle before pulling back to $2.357, meaning the market is already reacting to that $2.48 zone before even reaching it. If buyers push through it with conviction, there’s no major resistance between $2.48 and the January high around $2.65-$2.70. That zone was only briefly visited in January before price reversed, leaving little overhead supply to work through.

Getting through $2.48 cleanly would mean RENDER has reclaimed every major moving average, broken a multi-month resistance ceiling, and is in position to retest its highest price of 2026.

What the on-chain data says about this move The Santiment data makes today’s price move harder to dismiss. Daily active addresses hit 394 in a single day, the highest reading since March 12. New wallet creation reached 118 in the same session, also a 12-week high. Active addresses show existing holders engaging with the network. New wallet creation shows fresh participants entering for the first time. Both spiking together on the same day price breaks above three moving averages on record volume tells you this move has real network activity behind it, not just a liquidation cascade or a thin-market candle.

Render’s underlying momentum throughout 2026 has been driven by its position as a decentralized GPU computing network for AI training, machine learning, and advanced rendering workloads. The network has been expanding its GPU capabilities through integrations and infrastructure growth, adding tens of thousands of GPUs and supporting more advanced NVIDIA hardware. AI infrastructure demand isn’t slowing down, and Render is one of the few crypto projects with a direct, functional connection to that demand rather than just a narrative attached to it. That’s why buyers show up at support on this asset in a way they don’t on purely speculative tokens.

RSI at 74.58: elevated but not exhausted RSI at 74.58 on the daily is hot but hasn’t crossed 80, which is where momentum moves on RENDER have historically shown exhaustion. The signal line sits at 53.83, well below the RSI, meaning momentum is accelerating rather than rolling over. When RSI is this far above its signal line on a breakout candle, the move typically has more room before cooling. So $2.48 is likely the real test here, not current price.

If the move fails: $2.20-$2.25 is where the next floor is The pullback from the $2.41 intraday high to $2.357 is the first sign that $2.48 won’t be taken without a fight. If buyers don’t return with enough force, the next solid support sits in the $2.20-$2.25 range, where price spent several days consolidating before the current breakout. A pullback there would be a 6-7% correction from current levels but would keep the overall move intact, the three moving averages would still be below price, and $2.20-$2.25 would represent a higher low compared to the early May lows near $1.80.

A breakdown below that zone changes the picture and would need a full reassessment. But given the volume and on-chain confirmation behind today’s move, that’s not the most likely outcome right now.

Where things stand RENDER cleared three moving averages on the highest volume in months, with network activity at 12-week highs behind the move. One resistance at $2.48 separates current price from a full retest of the 2026 high. The move stalled at $2.41 today, meaning that resistance is already being felt before price reaches it.

If buyers hold above $2.20-$2.25 on any pullback and make another attempt at $2.48 with similar volume, the path to $2.65-$2.70 opens. If the pullback deepens past $2.20, the setup changes. The volume, RSI momentum, active address spike, new wallet growth, and AI infrastructure fundamentals all point toward the breakout case, but $2.48 has to be cleared first, and today it wasn’t.

The next 48 to 72 hours on the daily chart might settle it

On-chain data shows whale-sized Chainlink wallets have reached a new all-time high (ATH), a sign that big-money interest has been flowing into the network.

Chainlink Wallets With At Least 100,000 LINK Have Set A New Record According to data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, Chainlink has seen large wallets reach a new record. The indicator of relevance here is the “Supply Distribution,” which tells us about the total number of addresses that belong to a particular address group.

Wallets or investors are divided into these cohorts based on the number of tokens that they are carrying in their balance. For example, the 1 to 10 coins group includes all addresses holding between 1 and 10 LINK. In the context of the current topic, the range of interest is the one with a lower bound at 100,000 LINK and no upper limit.

At the current exchange rate, the cutoff for the range converts to $957,000, which is a significant amount. Thus, the only investors who would qualify for the group will be the big-money entities like the sharks and whales. Such holders can carry some degree of influence on the network so their behavior can be worth keeping an eye on.

Below is the chart shared by Santiment that shows how the Supply Distribution has changed for these Chainlink investors over the past few months.

The value of the metric seems to have been rising in recent weeks | Source: Santiment on X As is visible in the graph, the Chainlink wallets with 100,000 LINK or more have witnessed a rise in the indicator during the last couple of months. This suggests that the population of big-money investors on the network has grown.

More specifically, the Supply Distribution of the LINK whales has increased by 8.2% over the last seven weeks, a notable figure. Interestingly, this inflow of large investors into the network has arrived while the cryptocurrency has followed an overall trend of sideways movement.

Currently, there are 805 wallets holding at least 100,000 LINK, which is a new ATH. “Key stakeholders are showing bullishness toward the #16 market cap in crypto,” noted Santiment. It now remains to be seen whether the optimism from the LINK whales will end up reflecting on the cryptocurrency’s price.

While Chainlink has witnessed a trend of accumulation, Bitcoin has observed distribution from its large hands instead. As analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted in another X post, the supply of the BTC whales registered a decline recently.

Looks like the whales have been participating in net selling | Source: @alicharts on X From the chart, it’s apparent that the Bitcoin whales sold 18,447 BTC between the 18th and 21st of this month, worth approximately $1.41 billion.

LINK Price At the time of writing, Chainlink is trading around $9.57, unchanged from one week ago.

It is not a rally in price that first demands attention—it is the sudden reappearance of wallets that were not there before. For Render, that is exactly what happened in late May. According to the Santiment update, the network’s daily active addresses climbed to 394 in a single day while 118 new wallets were created—both the highest readings in 12 weeks. The activity coincided with RNDR pushing back above $2.25 for the first time in over four months.

Those numbers are not enormous by broader crypto standards, but they matter because Render is not a high-volume utility token for everyday transfers. It is a specialized network for decentralized GPU rendering, and spikes in address activity usually mean actual usage, not just speculation. A jump to 394 daily active addresses, with fresh wallets entering the ecosystem at the same time, points to renewed demand from creators, developers, or node operators. When such a network sees dormant on-chain behavior revive after months of quiet, market participants pay attention.

On-Chain Expansion and the AI Infrastructure Play Render sits at the intersection of two narratives that have been reshaping crypto markets: artificial intelligence and decentralized physical infrastructure. Because its tokens are used to pay for rendering jobs, network growth can be a leading indicator for AI compute demand. The latest uptick in addresses and wallets is small on an absolute scale, but the change relative to recent history is stark. Three months of stagnation suddenly gave way to a single-day burst that reset local highs.

That pattern has appeared before. In previous cycles, sharp increases in daily active addresses and new wallet creation on less liquid utility tokens preceded extensions in price, though not always immediately. The difference this time is that the AI sector has remained a focal point even as broader altcoin markets consolidated. Tokens that connect decentralised computing with machine learning workloads have outperformed many peers, and Render’s infrastructure positioning gives it a durable bid when interest returns.

What Traders Should Watch Next The one-day spike is just that—a single data point. What matters now is whether the new addresses stick around. If the same batch of wallets remains active over the following week and daily active addresses stay above the three-month average, the market will treat it as a genuine shift in network fundamentals rather than a fleeting anomaly. If the numbers retreat as fast as they arrived, the move will be filed under temporary curiosity.

There is also the question of whether this activity is organic or tied to a specific event. No major partnership or protocol upgrade was announced at the same time, which makes the on-chain action stand out even more. In the absence of a clear catalyst, the safest read is that a cohort of users returned to the network for jobs that required rendering, and their wallets lit up the metrics. For traders watching AI-related tokens, the next few days of on-chain data will tell whether that cohort brought friends.

Summarize this article with:

Centralized AI has just reached its breaking point. When Anthropic folds under regulatory pressure, decentralized tokens like TAO and RENDER soar. Crypto proves once again that it is the ultimate escape from censorship. But is this runaway trend sustainable?

In brief Anthropic forced to suspend Fable 5 and Mythos 5 following a directive from the US Department of Commerce for national security reasons. Historic rally of decentralized AI tokens: Bittensor (+39%) and Render (+15%) capitalize on the situation. Decentralized AI establishes itself as a resilient alternative to censorship and regulatory restrictions. Anthropic forced to suspend Fable 5 and Mythos 5: the explosion of AI tokens On June 12, 2026, the US government delivered a heavy blow to centralized AI. Indeed, an emergency directive forced Anthropic to globally disable its flagship models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, citing national security risks. Officially, a jailbreak vulnerability was identified, allowing exploitation of minor known weaknesses.

Fable 5 and Mythos 5 suspended by the US government. Result? A total shutdown for all users! Because isolating foreign nationals is technically impossible with the current architecture. The market reacted instantly. Decentralized AI tokens, like Bittensor (TAO) +39% and Render (RENDER) +15%, surged. Investors saw in this crisis proof that AI was the only way to escape arbitrary regulation. A speculative rally, but also ideological.

Is decentralized AI experiencing the same situation as decentralized cryptos? Is decentralized AI following the same path as decentralized cryptos? The answer is yes, and it makes sense. Indeed, just as Bitcoin (BTC) emerged in response to centralized banks, decentralized Artificial Intelligence develops in response to centralized giants like OpenAI or Anthropic, now under regulatory pressure.

Decentralized cryptos have proven resilient to restrictions. Despite bans, BTC survived. Similarly, decentralized AI resists censorship thanks to distributed networks, where no state can disable access. Yet, challenges remain immense: 

Scalability;  Energy costs; Mass adoption.  The rally of decentralized AI tokens is a sign of the times: crypto fills the gaps of centralization. But between technological idealism and economic reality, which will prevail? What if decentralized AI is just a band-aid on a wooden leg? And you, would you be willing to bet on decentralized artificial intelligence, or is centralization still inevitable?

Livepeer (LPT) Sheds 29%: Correction or Collapse Ahead?

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Livepeer ($LPT) witnessed an impressive surge over the past month, potentially sending other AI coins like SUBBD Token soaring in an increasingly pro-AI crypto market.

Livepeer is a decentralized network for video computing, enabling AI processing and transcoding jobs to power the future of video.

Despite being released all the way back in 2019, $LPT kept a low profile until November, 2021, when it recorded its ATH $74.62 with a 24-hour trading volume of $262M.

Then came a crash, followed by a period of consolidation, just for 2025 to come and bring another sudden surge, this time at a more sustained pace. We’re talking about 86% growth over the span of one month.

This comes in the context of AI-based crypto projects like SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) catching steam during its presale and promising similarly wallet-watering market performance once it lists.

What Does $LPT’s Surge Suggest for AI-Based Cryptos? With a 193% jump between May 7 and May 30, from $4.6 to $13.48, $LPT’s impressive chart performance reflects growing investor interest in AI cryptos.

This comes after other AI-based coins like FUNToken and Donut took the lead in driving AI-agent innovation and investor interest.

MIND of Pepe ($MIND) is another successful story after it accumulated over $12.7M during its presale. It is now up over 100% after launching two days ago, with the AI agent already on the loose.

These cases show a growing trend in the AI crypto niche, which Finro Financial Consulting highlighted in their March 31, 2025, report:

‘AI agents are no longer a fringe category — they’ve become a serious slice of the early-stage tech market, with capital flowing into everything from autonomous dev tools to vertical workflow automation.
Valuations are no longer driven just by flashy demos or OpenAI integrations. In 2025, the real drivers are category maturity, workflow defensibility, cross-model independence, and early traction with developers or enterprise users.’

—Finro Financial Consulting, AI Agents Valuation Multiples: 2025 Insights & Trends‘

But what is driving $LPT’s performance?

Simply put, it’s the project’s fundamentals, as Livepeer is a generative AI video platform with a decentralized foundation that streamlines the content creation process.

The real-time AI can convert simple and complex prompts into video, a goldmine for next-gen video applications.

It’s fairly similar to another high-profile project, which seeks to implement AI tools into its upcoming content creation platform.

We’re talking about SUBBD Token ($SUBBD), one of the most exciting crypto presales.

SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) — AI-Driven Content Creation Platform Granting Access to Exclusive Content SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) offers you a variety of rewards and advantages if you become a holder. These include access to exclusive content, private requests, early access to Beta features, and loyalty-based bonuses.

The project pushes the boundaries of AI agents by implementing several advanced AI tools like the personal AI Assistant. This takes over the post-production work, so that content creators can focus on producing more and better content.

Livepeer is up 4%, holding steady near the $5 mark. LPT’s daily trading volume has exploded by 462%. The crypto market is riding the mixed signal wave with the neutral sentiment lingering across the assets. The largest assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trade at $107.4K and $2.4K. With the red and green painted altcoins, Livepeer (LPT) is trying to bounce back, jumping by over 4.89% in the last 24 hours. 

Notably, LPT kicked off the day trading on the downside, visiting its daily low of $5.51. A sudden shift in momentum triggered the bulls to push the price to a high of around the $6.57 range. Moreover, a steady correction on the upside can help the price movement stay up. 

Meanwhile, as per CoinMarketCap data, Livepeer is currently trading at the $5.80 zone, with its market cap at $242 million. In addition, the daily trading volume of LPT has exploded by over 462%, reaching $158 million. 

Where is Livepeer Headed? Assuming the bull entry, the asset could rise and test the nearby resistance at the $5.90 mark. With the sturdy bullish momentum, Livepeer might invite the golden cross to take place and likely initiate a rally, with the price heading toward its high range crossing $6 threshold. 

On the downside, if the bullish sentiment fades and bears take command, the price might slip to its initial support at the $5.74 zone. A failure in holding this level could trigger the Livepeer bears to the emergence of a death cross, driving the price to the former lows below $5.67.

Livepeer’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is above the zero line, indicating upward momentum. However, if the signal line is below the zero line, the uptrend is still developing, potentially at an early stage. Besides, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) evaluates the capital flow into the asset; currently, the value is found at -0.15, suggesting a moderate selling pressure in the market, with the money flowing out of the asset. 

Furthermore, the asset’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned at 49.50, which implies that the asset is in a neutral zone, neither overbought nor oversold. LPT’s Bull Bear Power (BBP) value of 0.034 signals a mild bullish pressure in the market, with fluctuating momentum.

Quick Answer: Livepeer (LPT) is trading near $2.00–$2.60 as of May 2026, down approximately 95% from its all-time high of $100.53 (November 2021). Analyst forecasts for 2026 range from $1.32 (CoinLore bear case) to $9.42 (Coinpedia bull case). For 2030, projections span from $0.916 (Changelly conservative) to $132.71 (Changelly’s separate bull model, updated). Key catalysts include expansion of AI video computing services on Livepeer, growth in active orchestrators, the planned ultra-low latency upgrade, and Livepeer’s positioning at the intersection of decentralized AI compute and video streaming infrastructure.

Key Takeaways:

LPT trades ~95% below its November 2021 ATH of $100.53; ranked #3 in AI & Big Data developer activity in February 2026 Livepeer cuts video transcoding costs by up to 10x vs centralized cloud providers using distributed GPU nodes February 2026: Livepeer ranked 3rd in AI & Big Data developer activity (score: 31.2), behind only ICP and Filecoin August 2025: LPT surged 35.1% in a single day as one of the top daily crypto gainers 2026 base case consensus: $1.32–$5.57; bull case $9.42 requires AI video adoption momentum What Is Livepeer (LPT)? Livepeer is a decentralized video streaming network built on Ethereum, launched in 2018 by Doug Petkanics and Eric Tang. Its core mission is to reduce the cost of video broadcasting by up to 10x compared to centralized cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure — by routing video transcoding workloads through a global network of independent GPU operators called orchestrators.

When a developer or platform sends a video stream to Livepeer, the network transcodes it into all required formats and resolutions (mobile, HD, 4K) using its distributed orchestrator network. Orchestrators stake LPT tokens as economic security and earn LPT rewards for providing honest, reliable transcoding services. The protocol uses inflationary LPT rewards to incentivize both orchestrators (who process video) and delegators (who stake LPT to back orchestrators they trust).

In 2025–2026, Livepeer expanded beyond video transcoding into AI video computing — offering GPU infrastructure for AI inference workloads including video analysis, generative AI for video content, and model inference tasks. This expansion positions LPT at the intersection of three high-growth narratives: decentralized infrastructure (DePIN), AI compute, and Web3 media.

According to CoinMarketCap, LPT has a circulating supply of approximately 31.7 million tokens with no hard cap, and a market capitalization of approximately $63–82 million as of May 2026.

How Does Livepeer Compare to Similar Projects? Livepeer occupies a unique position: the only dedicated decentralized video transcoding and AI video compute network with a proven, operating mainnet.

Its advantage over Akash is that video transcoding is a measurable, high-frequency workload that generates consistent organic demand rather than speculative cloud compute. Its market cap ($70M) represents significant undervaluation relative to Render ($1.5B) if video transcoding achieves even partial parity with centralized CDN alternatives.

The market sentiment is Bearish (52%) with a Fear & Greed Index near 23–25 (Extreme Fear), consistent with the broader altcoin market condition.

Despite weak price action, Livepeer recorded a developer activity score of 31.2 in February 2026 — ranking 3rd among all AI & Big Data blockchain projects, behind only Internet Computer Protocol (237) and Filecoin (36.3), and ahead of The Graph (24.4). Developer activity of this magnitude typically precedes application development by 12–24 months, suggesting meaningful product launches may be in the pipeline for 2026–2027.

On August 27, 2025, LPT surged 35.1% in a single trading day, ranking among the top daily gainers alongside NMR and CRO — demonstrating the token’s capacity for sharp moves when sentiment shifts toward AI and video infrastructure narratives.

Its November 2021 ATH of $100.53 came during peak DeFi and Web3 hype. The current price near $2.00–$2.60 represents the deepest pullback since the project’s early 2018 launch — a level that the most bearish models treat as a floor and the most optimistic treat as a launch pad.

LPT Price Prediction 2026 2026 is a critical year for Livepeer. The AI video computing expansion, new Web3 social and creator platform integrations, and growth in active orchestrators are all catalysts that could shift the narrative.

CoinLore’s $1.32–$5.57 range captures both extremes for 2026. DigitalCoinPrice’s $4.87 year-end target requires the 200-day SMA to trend upward, which needs a sustained recovery above current resistance levels.

Coinpedia’s $9.42 bull case is built on: AI-powered video computing services on Livepeer expanding significantly, growth in active orchestrators driving higher staking demand for LPT, and new integrations with Web3 social platforms driving organic transaction volume. This scenario requires both macro improvement (Bitcoin recovery) and project-specific catalysts to align simultaneously.

LPT Price Prediction 2027 2027 is the prime post-halving window. Livepeer’s developer activity rank and AI video narrative could attract significant capital rotation if DePIN + AI themes dominate the 2027 altcoin cycle.

SourceLowHighCoinLore$1.87$3.96DigitalCoinPrice—$4.13 (avg)Changelly—$28.37CoinCodex (earlier)—$11.98Coinpedia—$20+ CoinLore and DigitalCoinPrice provide the conservative range ($2–$4) — moderate appreciation through the halving cycle with no dominant catalyst. Changelly’s $28.37 and CoinCodex’s earlier $11.98 represent more constructive views, built on the assumption that LPT captures AI video infrastructure demand as the market rotates into DePIN tokens. The wide spread between models reflects the genuine uncertainty about whether Livepeer’s technical advantages will translate to user adoption at a scale visible to the token market.

LPT Price Prediction 2028 2028 coincides with the next Bitcoin halving — the trigger for the previous LPT cycles’ most significant gains.

SourceLowHighCoinLore—$7.48Coinpedia—$21+Changelly (earlier model)—$80+ Coinpedia’s 2028 projection places LPT above $21, driven by the planned ultra-low latency upgrade that would allow Livepeer to compete directly with major cloud providers on latency-sensitive workloads. CoinLore’s $7.48 is the conservative halving-cycle estimate. Reaching $21 from current prices represents approximately a 10x gain — significant but consistent with LPT’s historical cycle behavior (the 2021 ATH was a 10–15x gain from its 2020 base).

LPT Price Prediction 2029 SourceLowHighCoinLore—$23.50Coinpedia—$28+ 2029 is typically the late-cycle bull phase. Coinpedia’s scenario for 2029 centers on autonomous AI agents creating and streaming video on the Livepeer network — a genuinely novel use case that could open new revenue streams beyond human-initiated video transcoding. CoinLore’s $23.50 is a moderate recovery to 2021 trading range levels.

LPT Price Prediction 2030 2030 is the most speculative long-term horizon, with the widest range of any year across all models.

This contradiction between Changelly’s models illustrates how scenario-dependent long-term crypto forecasting is.

The most credible range for 2030 planning purposes sits at $8–$36: CoinCodex ($8), AMBCrypto ($21–$32), and Coinpedia ($36) all converge in a zone that represents meaningful halving-cycle recovery without requiring LPT to revisit its $100 ATH. Reaching $36 from current prices is approximately a 15–18x gain — exactly consistent with LPT’s historical cycle performance from major bottoms.

Changelly’s $132.71 scenario — which would give LPT a market cap exceeding $4 billion — requires Livepeer to become a dominant global video and AI compute infrastructure provider at scale comparable to Akamai or a major cloud CDN. This is theoretically achievable but is not a base-case forecast for any mainstream financial analysis platform.

What Drives Livepeer (LPT)’s Price? AI video computing expansion. In 2025–2026, Livepeer expanded from pure video transcoding into AI video computing — GPU inference workloads for video analysis, generative AI video, and model inference. This expansion dramatically increases the total addressable market for Livepeer beyond traditional streaming, tapping into the multi-hundred-billion-dollar AI compute market.

Orchestrator and staking dynamics. LPT’s inflationary reward mechanism means that holders who don’t stake dilute their position. Higher staking rates reduce circulating liquid supply and align with network demand growth. Growing orchestrator count improves service quality and network reliability — attracting more platform integrations.

Bitcoin halving cycles. LPT has historically tracked Bitcoin cycles with high correlation and significant amplification. The 2028 halving is the next major trigger. LPT enters the cycle at a price level last seen in early 2018 — a structural entry point that previous cycles have rewarded significantly.

Developer activity. LPT’s #3 ranking in AI & Big Data developer activity (February 2026) is a leading indicator of future application development. High commit velocity relative to market cap rank suggests the development team is actively building ahead of the market cycle.

Ultra-low latency upgrade. The planned upgrade to compete with major cloud providers on latency-sensitive video workloads is the single most important near-term product catalyst. If successfully deployed, it opens Livepeer to enterprise streaming clients who currently require CDN-level latency guarantees.

Web3 social and creator platform integrations. Each new integration with Web3 social platforms creates organic demand for video transcoding services. Volume begets volume — as more platforms use Livepeer, more LPT is consumed as fees, reducing liquid supply and creating demand from new orchestrators.

Is Livepeer (LPT) a Good Investment? LPT at $2.00–$2.60 prices the token at a near-decade-low in real terms — below where it traded in early 2018 before most of its adoption milestones. The positive case: strong developer activity, expansion into AI compute, proven production infrastructure with actual enterprise use, and a market cap ($70M) that dramatically undervalues the network relative to comparable DePIN infrastructure projects.

The risk case: LPT is a highly volatile small-cap token with thin liquidity, no hard supply cap (continued inflation without proportional demand growth is dilutive), and faces competition from larger compute networks. The conservative models from Changelly place the 2030 price at $0.775–$1.13 — below current levels — reflecting genuine uncertainty about whether decentralized video transcoding achieves material scale within a single decade.

For investors who believe AI-driven video infrastructure will be a significant market by 2030 and who accept the binary nature of small-cap DePIN positions, LPT near its lowest levels in six years offers asymmetric speculative exposure. Position sizing should reflect the token’s volatility profile.

Nothing in this article constitutes financial advice. Cryptocurrency investments carry substantial risk.

Where to Buy Livepeer (LPT) Centralized exchanges (CEX):

Binance — LPT/USDT and LPT/BTC; highest global liquidity Coinbase — LPT/USD for US users Kraken — LPT/USD and LPT/EUR KuCoin — LPT/USDT with competitive fees Gate.io — LPT/USDT available globally OKX — LPT/USDT spot trading Decentralized exchanges: LPT is an ERC-20 token tradeable on Uniswap (LPT/ETH and LPT/USDC pairs) and other Ethereum-based DEXs. For best execution on large trades, CoinGecko’s liquidity data shows Binance provides the deepest LPT order book.

Staking: LPT holders can delegate their stake to orchestrators on the Livepeer network at livepeer.org to earn inflationary staking rewards. Delegation does not lock tokens permanently — users can un-delegate at any time subject to the current unbonding period. Staking is the recommended holding strategy for long-term LPT holders to avoid dilution from the protocol’s inflationary reward model.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the Livepeer price prediction? For 2026, forecasts range from $1.32 (CoinLore bear) to $9.42 (Coinpedia bull). CoinCodex's model places LPT at $1.48 — below current prices. DigitalCoinPrice targets $4.87 by December 2026 based on 200-day SMA recovery. The base case consensus sits at $2–$5.57 for 2026, with above-base scenarios requiring AI video compute narrative momentum and a Bitcoin-driven altcoin recovery.

How high can LPT go? In a moderate bull scenario by 2030, AMBCrypto projects $21–$32 and Coinpedia targets $36. CoinLore's 2030 model reaches $23.50. Changelly's bull model places LPT at $132.71 — representing a new ATH — but this is their extreme scenario. The most cited realistic 2030 bull range is $21–$36, consistent with LPT recovering to 2022–2023 trading levels across two halving cycles.

Will LPT reach $10 again? LPT last traded above $10 in late 2024 during the post-halving rally. Coinpedia's 2026 bull case of $9.42 approaches $10 — achievable if AI video compute narrative drives sector rotation. CoinLore's 2028 model places LPT at $7.48 in the base case, with $10 plausible in their bull scenario. A confirmed break and hold above $4.87 (DigitalCoinPrice's 200-day SMA target) would be the first technical milestone on the path to $10.

What is the LPT price prediction for 2030? The 2030 range spans from $0.775 (Changelly conservative) to $132.71 (Changelly bull). CoinCodex estimates $8. CoinLore projects $23.50. AMBCrypto targets $21–$32. Coinpedia's bull case is $36. The most widely cited realistic range for 2030 planning is $8–$36 — representing a 4–18x gain from current prices — contingent on Livepeer's AI video compute expansion and two Bitcoin halving cycles providing market tailwinds.

What is Livepeer used for? Livepeer is a decentralized video streaming network that processes video transcoding workloads at up to 10x lower cost than AWS or Google Cloud. Developers and platforms integrate Livepeer to transcode live and on-demand video into all required formats. In 2025–2026, Livepeer expanded into AI video computing — GPU inference for video analysis, AI-generated video content, and model inference tasks. LPT is staked by orchestrators as security and by delegators to earn staking rewards.ShareContentThe theoretical threat of quantum computers to Bitcoin’s cryptographic security now has a dollar figure: $469 billion.

Audius is a San Francisco-based startup offering a decentralized blockchain-powered digital streaming network, with the aim of connecting artists directly to fans. Following its mainnet launch in 2020, the service has reached more than 6 million unique users. 

The platform also aims to hand control over music distribution and monetization back to the artists, addressing long-standing issues over how they're compensated on other music streaming platforms.  

Unlike other music streaming services like Spotify, Audius isn’t looking to make a profit in a traditional way. Instead, an open-source community of artists, fans and developers are rewarded for participation with the AUDIO token, with a view to turning a profit as its value increases with the growth of the service. Recent investors include the likes of Nas and Katy Perry, who are part of a recent $5 million investment round. Not too shabby...

Ease of useAudius is available for free as a web app and as an app on iOS and Android devices. Signing up to the service is quick and easy; enter your email, choose a password, and you’re all set.

Anyone who’s used a music streaming service before will immediately feel right at home, though things might feel a little ‘empty’ if you’re used to the pages and pages of curated playlists offered by incumbent services. 

One thing that's definitely worth checking out is the aforementioned playlists, which can be accessed by pressing the Explore option. The Trending section is also useful for seeing what new content is proving popular. Your enjoyment of suggested material will of course vary depending on your taste, but browsing through the most popular playlists is a decent way to help you get used to the lay of the land, so to speak. 

Another feature that Audius also offers is the ability to download songs as mp3s for free. Just hit the ‘Download button’ on a song’s page, and you’re good to go.

Design and UXAudius has a streamlined, stripped-back design that's a far cry from the likes of services like Spotify, which have grown a little cluttered and harder to navigate over the years. 

Audius can be used as a web app on desktop devices. Image: AudiusBoth the browser and mobile app have a clean, minimal interface that's easy to navigate. We rather like the coherent purple colours throughout the design scheme—it matches both the light and dark mode rather nicely, and there’s an overall feeling that you’re using a service that’s new, and a little bit different. 

Audius is also available as a smartphone app. Image: DecryptPricing and subscriptionAt the time of writing, Audius is free, letting users listen to high-quality 320kbps streams without them having to pay a penny. That, of course, means that artists can’t currently make any money on it either, but that’s set to change in future.

The company has plans to let artists opt into requiring users to occasionally listen to ads or pay a few dollars a month for a subscription. 

Music catalogueAs a free service, Audius is closer in spirit to music discovery platforms like Soundcloud than paid streaming music services like Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal. Approach it in the spirit it's intended, and you'll find thousands of tracks from new and unsigned artists to whet your appetite.

When it comes to established artists, however, Audius' catalogue is, well, limited. Much has been made of the fact that artists such as Deadmau5 and Skrillex have embraced the platform, but don't expect to find their full discographies on Audius; indeed, they only have nine tracks and a single track uploaded, respectively.

The majority of content on Audius is from new and unsigned artists. Image: AudiusThe same is true of other big names on Audius, like Weezer, Diplo, Disclosure and Mike Shinoda; their use of the platform stretches to experiments and remixes, rather than album tracks and singles.

You might get lucky and find unofficial fan uploads which, while not kosher, technically can’t be removed due to the decentralized nature of the platform—which poses some interesting legal questions. We found Eminem’s Music to be Murdered By uploaded by a random user in its entirety, for example, which definitely isn’t an official upload from a legit channel.

That all sounds rather negative, but let’s pause a second. It’s best not to approach Audius as a straight-up Spotify replacement because, well, Spotify, and the other cookie-cutter services that compete with it, already exist. There’s not much point trying to use Audius as a direct replacement when there are so many existing options out there that have all the known artists you could possibly ever need. Plus, of course, there’s the fact that Audius is free, so you’ve got nothing to lose. 

When it comes to the content that is available, there’s plenty of it. We found ourselves rather enjoying just clicking through top artist and album lists and trying out different things at random. From Cyberpunk movie soundtracks to a rather relaxing Chill Drive Lo-Fi Hip-Hop album, we’ve come across enjoyable tracks and albums that we otherwise would never have found.

PlaylistsIf you’d rather not spend the time skipping between random tracks from new artists, Audius offers a handy feature which lets users create and share their own curated playlists. Each week, the five most popular playlists win AUDIO tokens, providing an incentive for discovery and engagement with the platform.

Playlist categories include the overall top trending playlists, underground trending tracks (the best up-and-coming music on Audius), or even your personal favourite tracks on rotation. There’s also a Let Them DJ playlist which serves up playlists created by the people you follow, and those are just a few examples. 

The variety of ways in which to simply dive in and discover new music (some you’ll love, some you won’t, natch), is pretty impressive, not to mention, necessary. Overall we found ourselves returning to Audius when we got bored of listening to our overly familiar Spotify library, and the novelty was more than welcome. 

Social featuresOne of Audius’ biggest social features is the recently announced ability for artists to directly share their tracks to TikTok, opening their creations up to a potentially massive (and lucrative) new audience.

Non-artist Audius users can also use the platform to follow other users. This can be used to help you discover new music, or just see what your friends are listening to (if you can convince them to give Audius a try, that is).

Audio qualitySound quality on the Audius app is impressive, offering streaming at 320kbps—the highest quality sound currently available from any free music platform. Paid services like Tidal HiFi and Amazon Music HD offer higher 24bit streams, but unless you’re an audiophile looking to squeeze the most out of your carefully selected stereo setup, Audius’ streaming quality won’t leave you wanting for more.

What is AUDIO?AUDIO is an Ethereum-based ERC-20 token which provides network security (node operators stake tokens to run a node, earning rewards in the process). It also provides exclusive features for artists that choose to stake the coin, letting them, for example, show off NFT collectibles on the platform. AUDIO tokens are also used as part of a governance system that lets holders of staked tokens vote on any proposals to the code and overall network.

AUDIO is the native token of Audius. Image: AudiusTokens can be earned via certain rewards, such as curating popular weekly playlists, or uploading the most popular content in a given week. Artists can also receive a reward based on the number of listens and the level of social engagement they’ve shown. Last year the platform dished out 50 million AUDIO tokens across 10,000 artists and users.

VerdictAudius is an interesting concept that’s clearly still in its infancy compared to long-established music streaming services such as Spotify. Its biggest problem on paper is the fact that there are so few recognisable artists on there, and the ones that you will likely have heard of, don’t have much content uploaded. From another perspective, though, that's a positive advantage; if you're a trendsetter rather than a follower of fashion, it's a great way to discover new and unsigned artists.

There's a lot to like about Audius, too. For starters, it offers quality, free streaming, with a quick and easy sign-up process to jump you straight into the action. Its apps work well, and the concept of earning rewards as either an artist or a curator is an appealing one, especially as you don’t need to understand anything about blockchain to get involved. 

The best way to think about Audius is as Spotify’s hipster cousin—the one that you occasionally see who recommends a ton of bands and artists you’ve never heard of. It’s a refreshing way to dive into the unknown while hopefully discovering some hidden gems along the way. In a world where the music industry's become very homogenized and commercialized, there’s something refreshing about having an opportunity to go off the beaten path.

Update: 24.05.2024 - 16:09

Business Insider, a multinational financial and business news website based in New York City, listed “14 Music-Tech Companies to Watch” in a recent report.

Among these 14 companies was Audius (AUDIO), a decentralized music streaming protocol.

While this news caused a big jump in the AUDIO price, the AUDIO price increased by 57% in the last 24 hours.

Commenting on Business Insider's news, Audius co-founder Forrest Browning said:

“ Think of us as a more modern form of SoundCloud with a lot of paid fan engagement layered on top.

Currently, Audius runs on a decentralized blockchain powered by Solana and Ethereum.

Additionally, Audius currently has between 5 and 6 million monthly active users. The platform's most popular genres are electronic and hip-hop.

Currently, artists do not have a venue or outlet to foster deeper relationships and deeper collaborations. Audius wants to fill this gap by giving superfans a new way to engage with their favorite artists.”

Audius, sanatçıların müziklerini ücretsiz olarak barındırıp gelir elde edebilecekleri merkeziyetsiz bir müzik akışı platformudur. AUDIO token’i sanatçılara tazminat ödemek ve yönetişim protokolünde oy hakkı sağlamak için kullanılır. Platform, Blockchain teknolojisi kullanarak küresel bir içerik düğümleri ağı ile müzik dosyalarını merkeziyetsiz ve sansüre dirençli hale getirir. Bu yazımızda Audius (AUDIO) nedir, TRY ile Audius (AUDIO) nasıl alınır olmak üzere iki merak edilen sorunun yanıtını bulabilirsiniz.

Audius (AUDIO) Nedir?Audius, hem hayranları hem de yaratıcıları güçlendirmek için tasarlanmış merkeziyetsiz bir müzik akışı platformudur. Geleneksel müzik platformlarının aksine Audius, sanatçıların müziklerini ücretsiz olarak barındırmalarına ve plak şirketi anlaşmalarına veya aracılara ihtiyaç duymadan gelir elde etmeye başlamalarına olanak tanır. Hem yerleşik hem de gelişmekte olan sanatçıların müziklerini yüklemeleri akış ölçümlerine erişmeleri ve diğer hizmetlere kıyasla daha az finansal engelle bir takipçi kitlesi oluşturmaları için bir platform sunuyor.

AUDIO olarak bilinen Audius’un yerel kripto parası, platformun operasyonları için çok önemlidir. AUDIO bir ERC-20 token’idir ancak Solana gibi diğer Blockchain ağlarında paketlenmiş bir versiyonu da mevcuttur. Bu token, sanatçılara platformda yayınlanan yaratıcı çalışmaları için tazminat ödemek için kullanılır. Buna ek olarak AUDIO token sahipleri düğümleri çalıştırmak, ağın ücret paylaşımına katılmak ve içeriklerinin görünürlüğünü artırmak için token’lerini stake edebilirler. Sanatçılar ayrıca benzersiz rozetlerin kilidini açmak ve Audius’un yönetişim protokolünde oy hakkı kazanmak için AUDIO kullanabilir.

Audius, kullanıcıların müzik keşfedip dinleyebilecekleri bir müzik akışı platformu sağlayan bir masaüstü ve mobil uygulama aracılığıyla çalışır. Çalma listeleri oluşturma, türlere göz atma ve trend şarkıları ve sanatçıları kontrol etme gibi tanıdık özellikler sunar. Sanatçılar ana sayfalarını parçalar, albümler, çalma listeleri ile kişiselleştirebilir ve hatta topladıkları veya oluşturdukları NFT’ler görüntüleyebilirler.

Audius’u Spotify ve Tidal gibi merkezi akış platformlarından ayıran şey merkezi bir sunucu yerine küresel bir içerik düğümleri ağı kullanmasıdır. Bu içerik düğümleri, müzik dosyalarının kopyalarını dünya çapında birkaç bilgisayarda tutmak için Blockchain teknolojisini kullanır. Dosyalar, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) tabanlı merkezi olmayan bir dosya sistemi olan AudSP üzerinde indekslenmektedir. Sanatçılar, müzik dağıtımları üzerinde daha fazla kontrol için kendi içerik düğümlerini çalıştırma seçeneğine sahiptir veya Audius’un ağ üzerinden dağıtımı gerçekleştirmesine izin verebilirler.

Audius’un merkeziyetsiz yapısı onu sansüre karşı daha dirençli ve esnek hale getirir. Düğümler yalnızca içerik barındırmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda içeriği keşfedilebilir hale getirir. Keşfet düğümleri, tüm Audius içeriği için meta verileri indeksleyerek dinleyiciler için yeni parçalar bulma sürecini basitleştirir. Düğüm operatörleri, protokolün yıllık yüzde 7 olarak belirlenen token ihracından ve düğümlerini aktif bir hisseyle kaydederek protokolün toplu ücret havuzundan AUDIO token kazanır.

Audius’taki sanatçılar çeşitli yollarla AUDIO token kazanabilirler. Platformun En İyi 5 Haftalık Trend Parçasında veya En İyi 5 Haftalık Trend Çalma Listesinde yer alan parçalar sanatçılara token kazandırır. Ayrıca, müzisyenler X veya Instagram hesaplarını doğrulayarak ve Audius’a ilk içerik parçalarını yükleyerek de token kazanabilirler. Bu, sanatçıları platformla aktif bir şekilde etkileşim kurmaya teşvik eder.

Dinleyiciler, sanatçılar ve düğüm operatörleri de dahil olmak üzere AUDIO token sahipleri Audius yönetim protokolüne katılır. Bu merkeziyetsiz otonom organizasyon (DAO) benzeri sistem platformun Web3’ün ana mantığını takip eder ve kullanıcıların gelecekteki gelişiminde söz sahibi olmalarını sağlar. Yönetim önerileri yeni özellik entegrasyonlarını telif hakkı yapılarını, ödül tahsislerini ve daha fazlasını ele alabilir ve topluluğun platformun evrimine kolektif olarak rehberlik etmesini sağlar.

Başlangıçta Ethereum Blockchain’i üzerine inşa edilen Audius, içerik yönetim sistemini Solana’ya taşımıştır. Bu geçiş, platformun hızla büyüyen kullanıcı tabanını daha verimli bir şekilde idare etmek için gerekliydi. Audius, Solana’nın ölçeklenebilirliğinden yararlanarak, merkeziyetsiz yapısını korurken kullanıcıları için daha iyi bir deneyim sunmayı amaçlıyor.

Audius, geleneksel müzik akışı hizmetlerine merkezi olmayan, sanatçı dostu bir alternatif sunmak için blockchain teknolojisinden yararlanarak müzik endüstrisinde öncü bir platform olarak öne çıkıyor. Yenilikçi yaklaşımı sanatçıların müzikleri üzerindeki kontrolü ellerinde tutmalarına, adil bir tazminat kazanmalarına ve dinleyicileriyle doğrudan etkileşim kurmalarına olanak tanımaktadır.

Key NotesArtists can now receive stablecoin payments and set their own pricing on the Audius platform.Audius also introduces a 10% community revenue-sharing model for its platform.Audius challenges traditional platforms like Spotify with decentralized music streaming. Decentralized and community-owned streaming platform Audius is taking music streaming to another level. This follows after the platform announced that musicians can now get paid directly in stablecoins for their work.

For what it’s worth, the music industry has long earned itself the reputation of being an early adopter of emerging technologies, and from all indications, it still might be living up to that reputation.

Audius Grants Artists Full Control Today, the music industry is using Web3 to reshape not just how artists engage with their fans but also the way they earn revenue from their content.

Interestingly, Audius is at the forefront of this revolution. The artist-controlled music streaming service said, moments ago, that it had completed its private beta phase, which started in November 2023. That means artists on the platform now have the ability to set their pricing and receive payments in USD Coin USDC $1.00 24h volatility: 0.0% Market cap: $73.77 B Vol. 24h: $16.15 B , a stablecoin.

Similarly, fans may also use their credit cards to purchase music and content directly in USDC, which artists can later convert into any currency of their choice. The implication of this recent announcement is that artists now have cruise control on how to monetize their content.

Meanwhile, Audius is also rolling out a community revenue-sharing model, which might be a first-of-its-kind. The model seeks to direct 10% of each payment to the platform’s community treasury. Although the funds will be allocated through governance decisions at a later time, the effort is aimed at ensuring that the platform’s revenue is managed in a collaborative manner.

According to Audius co-founder and CEO Roneil Rumburg, the platform’s new direction is an interesting one. Rumburg said he is excited for the journey ahead and expects that musicians use Audius’ marketplace to maximize their earnings.

A Track Record of Success While there are high hopes for the future that lie ahead, Audius’ past records already make the hopes even clearer.

The platform has been empowering artists through Web3 tools, and several of its early adopters may have already found success on it. For instance, Kato On The Track, a producer and beta user, sold beats and downloads on Audius and was able to generate revenue that exceeded traditional streaming models by far.

Another lucky individual that has tapped into Audius’ Web3 tools was Rapper MadeinTYO, who used them to host a fan contest. Audius has also attracted several other artists and their record labels, including big names like EMPIRE and Ninja Tune.

It goes without saying that the future of music streaming is here. With platforms like Audius introducing stablecoin payouts and decentralized revenue sharing, the broader music industry itself might be in for a huge change.

Also, new decentralized solutions like Audius will now compete with traditional platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, challenging their age-long domination of the space.

Audius Agency launches to build open-source tools for artists using its SDK.   Led by Ujo Music co-founder, the agency focuses on real-time, artist-first innovation.   Past NFT work, including $10M in sales, informs Audius Agency’s creator-driven strategy. Audius has launched a new internal division called Audius Agency, an experimental initiative focused on creating open-source products for artists using the Audius software development kit (SDK). The move is intended to support real-time innovation across music, technology, and fan culture by enabling creators to access standalone tools outside of traditional streaming frameworks.

The newly formed agency will explore and test novel use cases for the Audius SDK while working directly with artists to understand their evolving needs. The goal is to develop new creative workflows, unlock new monetization models, and expand the artist economy through decentralized infrastructure.

We’re thrilled to announce Audius Agency, a new initiative focused on building open-source, standalone products for artists powered by Audius ⚡

Experimenting with new features, demonstrating compelling Audius SDK use cases, and onboarding bigger artists than ever before will… https://t.co/jsEgmhtqr3 pic.twitter.com/RVbrfoSsPz

— Audius 🎧 (@audius) April 22, 2025 The Audius Agency will be led by a former co-founder of Ujo Music, a pioneering blockchain music project that launched the first consumer-facing Ethereum-based music app in 2015. Ujo was originally built as a proof of concept but shaped early conversations around decentralized music rights, digital ownership, and programmable royalties.

That experience forms the foundation for the new leadership role. Over nearly a decade, the Ujo co-founder worked toward a vision of an open, artist-first digital economy. While Ujo did not scale globally, it contributed foundational ideas that remain relevant as artists and fans seek more equitable platforms for creative exchange.

According to the new agency head, the future of music platforms will likely differ from traditional models like Spotify and SoundCloud. Instead, permissionless innovation, real-time rewards, and fan empowerment will define the next generation of tools and services. Audius Agency aims to be a testing ground for that transformation.

Bridging the Gap Between Web3 and Music Before joining Audius, the new agency head also co-founded Six, a Web3-focused company that guided artists through the NFT market. Six was involved in notable transactions such as the sale of Wu-Tang Clan’s one-of-one album “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” and supported NFT drops from high-profile artists including Freddie Mercury, Diplo, and Galantis. Those efforts generated more than $10 million in NFT revenue while exposing limitations in cthe urrent Web3 music infrastructure.

The lessons from that period highlighted a growing demand for better tools, artist ownership, and community-driven economics. However, the new Audius Agency will respond to those gaps by working with creators and fans in real time to identify practical use cases, build fast, and scale successful experiments into repeatable models.

Existing Platform to Serve as Launchpad Audius currently supports over 3 million monthly listeners and has distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to artists. The agency’s launch is expected to build on this ecosystem by introducing independent features that enhance creator capabilities.

By partnering directly with creatives, testing in public, and iterating quickly, Audius Agency plans to create infrastructure that reflects real-world needs. Rather than assuming what artists require, the initiative will operate through ongoing engagement and prototype development.

On July 24, 2025, Taiwan-based trading platform WOO X became the latest victim in a bruising summer of crypto breaches when attackers made off with roughly $14 million in unauthorized withdrawals from nine user accounts, forcing the exchange to pause withdrawals while it investigated and promised to reimburse affected users.

New chain-analysis shared by Yehor Rudytsia, Head of Forensics and Incident Response at Hacken, paints the post-heist picture as far more organized than a one-off theft. According to Rudytsia, the exploit, which Hacken dates to July, resulted in total losses of about $14 million and was carried out by a DPRK-linked actor tracked in law-enforcement circles as “TraderTraitor.”

Hacken says it is actively monitoring the on-chain movements and is supporting recovery efforts by flagging malicious addresses to the wider security community. The laundering choreography, as mapped by Hacken, left half the stolen funds on EVM networks and the rest on Tron and Bitcoin.

In the last 24 hours, on-chain traces show that the bulk of the EVM-side proceeds, more than $7 million, were routed through THORChain and swapped into Bitcoin, a technique observers have increasingly flagged as a common laundering path after major exchange thefts earlier this year. Rudytsia noted that THORChain’s native cross-chain swap functionality has repeatedly been used to convert large sums of ETH and ERC-20 tokens into BTC, making it attractive to sophisticated operators moving stolen assets across ecosystems.

On-chain Evidence Hacken’s report also documents the handling of the Tron-denominated portion (about $2.5 million in TRX). Those funds, the team found, were converted into USDT, bridged to Ethereum via LayerZero infrastructure, and from there, some of the bridged USDT was again pushed to Bitcoin through THORChain.

On-chain evidence of a nine-figure USDT transfer arriving on Ethereum from a LayerZero executor appears in public transaction records from October 1, 2025, which match the pattern Hacken described.

Complicating the trail, part of the funds that surfaced on Ethereum were sent to a wallet previously tied to the BingX hot-wallet exploit in 2024, itself attributed by investigators to North Korean-linked groups, suggesting either reuse of laundering infrastructure or coordination across multiple thefts.

The address that received those transfers is publicly visible on Ethereum explorer records, and investigators say the link deepens the picture of an organized laundering chain connecting multiple high-profile incidents.

Taken together, the movements indicate that roughly $8–9 million from the WOO X breach was bridged on the same day from Ethereum to Bitcoin, almost entirely via THORChain, leaving an estimated 90% of the stolen value now sitting on Bitcoin addresses as perpetrators accelerate conversion into the oldest and most liquid on-chain asset.

Security teams monitoring the flows warn that once funds consolidate on Bitcoin, conventional tracing and intervention become harder and the risk of eventual cash-out increases. Rudytsia told Blockchain Reporter that Hacken is continuing to monitor the accounts and will push flagged addresses to exchanges and compliance partners in the hope of freezing or otherwise freezing flow paths where possible.

For now, the case is a fresh reminder that as cross-chain tooling gets more powerful, it also gives sophisticated attackers faster, lower-friction routes to turn stolen tokens into harder-to-trace assets, and that forensic work on multiple chains, together with cooperation from on- and off-ramp services, remains the only immediate line of defence in today’s time.

A Maryland man was sentenced to prison this week for helping IT workers linked to North Korea infiltrate US companies.

This incident fits into a wider pattern in 2025, where insider access and rising crypto theft are becoming key features of North Korea’s cyber strategy. 

US Jobs Opened to North KoreansThe Justice Department announced on Thursday the sentencing of Minh Phuong Ngoc Vong, an American citizen convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors proved that Vong used false credentials to secure remote software development jobs for North Korean nationals at 13 American companies.

According to public documents, Vong allowed a foreign operator to use his logins, devices, and identity documents to perform the work remotely. The man, who operated from China, is believed to be from North Korea.

One job created a particular risk when a Virginia technology firm hired Vong for work on a Federal Aviation Administration contract in 2023. 

The role required US citizenship and granted him a government-issued personal identity verification card. Vong installed remote-access tools on the company laptop. The move allowed the North Korean man to complete the work from abroad inconspicuously.

The company paid Vong more than $28,000, and he sent part of those earnings to his overseas partners. Court filings show he collected over $970,000 across all companies, with most of the work performed by North Korean-linked operatives. Several firms also subcontracted with him for US government agencies, further expanding the exposure.

Vong was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

The case comes as North Korea intensifies its global cyber operations. 

Record Year for North Korean HacksIn October, blockchain analytics firm Elliptic reported that North Korea-linked hackers had stolen over $2 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025. This figure represents the highest annual total ever recorded. 

The overall amount attributed to the regime now surpasses $6 billion. These proceeds are widely believed to support nuclear and missile development.

This year’s surge stemmed from several major incidents, including the $1.46 billion Bybit breach, as well as attacks on LND.fi, WOO X, and Seedify. Analysts have also connected more than 30 other hacks to North Korean groups.

Most breaches in 2025 began with social engineering rather than technical flaws. Hackers relied on impersonation, phishing, and fabricated support outreach to gain wallet access. The trend highlights a growing focus on human weaknesses over code vulnerabilities.

Taken together, these trends suggest a coordinated approach, with North Korea combining insider infiltration with advanced cryptocurrency theft to expand both its income and operational footprint.
