Ansem says an onchain supercycle is here as retail access gets easier

Crypto KOL Ansem said on Aug. 3 that the current market cycle could become "very, very crazy," arguing that an "onchain supercycle" has already arrived. In his view, the setup is very different from the previous cycle, when roughly 90% of retail investors ended up serving as exit liquidity for smart money. He attributed that earlier dynamic to centralized exchanges listing meme coins only after they had already reached multi-billion-dollar valuations, unstable infrastructure, and a lack of easy-to-use mobile apps. This time, Ansem said, retail traders can buy any trending onchain asset across chains in less than a minute, with one-click cross-chain access sharply reducing friction for speculation in low-cap tokens. He also said centralized exchanges have become more aggressive about listings after missing large volumes, adding that Coinbase has natively integrated Coinbase Wallet so users can join new token launches instantly. Ansem added that meme coin trading volume could draw in not only retail capital but also developers, as open blockchains and AI tools such as Fable make it easier to turn ideas into immediate liquidity. He said he is bullish on tokenization and novel applications, and specifically highlighted tokens that can keep capturing and compounding attention, including ANSEM.

Uphold cuts 17% of global workforce, shifts resources to enterprise services

Crypto trading platform Uphold said it is cutting 17% of its global workforce, affecting 85 employees across full-time and contract roles, as it redirects resources toward its enterprise services business. The company said the layoffs span multiple regions and come as retail crypto trading activity has weakened during the recent market slump. In response, Uphold is putting more emphasis on its enterprise platform, which allows banks, fintech firms, and brokerages to integrate digital asset services into their own products. Uphold described that segment as its fastest-growing area. The company also said it is not closing any offices and that service for the UK, Europe, and enterprise clients will continue as normal. At the same time, it still plans to expand its retail app by the end of 2026 to compete with Robinhood and Coinbase, with planned additions including U.S. stocks, tokenized securities, asset-backed lending, and prediction markets.
