Gate, a cryptocurrency exchange, has expanded its derivatives offerings by listing perpetual contracts for two meme coins: Hakimi and SUE (also known as Construction Cat). The contracts are settled in USDT, with Hakimi supporting leverage from 1x to 20x and SUE supporting 1x to 10x. SUE is a meme coin on the BCS chain, inspired by a ginger cat rescued from a Komatsu excavator in Ohio, USA.

Capital rotated back into high-volatility meme tokens after Bitcoin moved above $80,000, lifting broader crypto risk appetite and pushing fresh activity across Solana, BSC, and Robinhood Chain. On Robinhood Chain, CASHCAT traded around $0.209, close to its all-time high, with a market cap near $205 million, a 24-hour gain of about 46%, a 6-hour rise of roughly 13%, and about $12 million in 24-hour volume. PONS also advanced, changing hands near $0.091 with a market cap of about $64.8 million and a 24-hour gain of around 46%. BlockBeats said PONS is the platform token of Pons, which it described as the current mainstream meme launch platform on Robinhood Chain. The report also noted that before Robinhood Chain gained traction, Base briefly became a focal point for meme capital, with Basecat standing out as a symbol of Base’s “Builder culture” and later listing on Coinbase. As attention shifted, newer “platform-native” names such as CASHCAT and PONS drew more capital and discussion. According to DefiLlama data cited in the report, Robinhood Chain posted about $645 million in DEX volume over the past 24 hours and roughly $3.68 billion over the past seven days, up about 23.9% from the previous seven-day period. On other networks, BSC meme token SUE and Solana meme token BATON also picked up traction.

Morgan Stanley has raised its estimate for the AI scale-up networking opportunity in 2030 to about $70 billion, more than four times last year’s forecast. The bank’s latest note does not argue that co-packaged optics, or CPO, is about to break out. Its point is almost the opposite: as AI clusters move from single-rack systems to multi-rack deployments, the overall back-end networking market grows sharply, but short-distance links still favor copper for now on cost, latency, and power. In Morgan Stanley’s timeline, CPO penetration in scale-up networks stays near zero in 2026 and 2027, starts to appear in 2028, and only reaches a meaningful 20% to 30% by 2029 to 2030. That sequencing shapes the list of likely winners. Companies helping copper run faster and farther, including Astera Labs, Broadcom and Semtech, are positioned to benefit earlier. Keysight Technologies stands out because broader architectural fragmentation across NVLink, UALink, SUE, PCIe and cloud-specific interconnects drives more testing demand regardless of which link technology wins. By contrast, Corning, Lumentum and Coherent offer more upside if large GPU domains arrive on schedule and optical content expands materially. Morgan Stanley’s view is that the market is getting bigger, but the path to large-scale optical adoption still depends on platform timing, manufacturing maturity and customer willingness to absorb complexity in packaging, maintenance and supply chains.

Peter Schiff: Banking rules do not apply to stablecoin issuers Economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff questioned JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon's advocacy for regulating cryptocurrency companies issuing interest-bearing products according to banking standards. Schiff believes that stablecoin issuers differ from federal insurance lenders, and his remarks provide a sharp response to debates about yields, reserves, and financial competition. Schiffei's comments are a response to Dimon's earlier criticism of Coinbase and its CEO Brian Armstrong, a company that supports legislation on cryptocurrency market structures. The current focus of the dispute is whether digital asset companies offering yield-like products should comply with banks' capital, liquidity, compliance, and reporting standards.
