Cardano is stuck below $0.305 with bears firmly in control despite a 150% volume surge that should have powered a breakout. ADA sits at $0.284 today, still 70% below its all-time high, and the resistance just will not break. The catalysts are all there: Midnight mainnet launches before month’s end, CME futures went live recently, and hard fork candidate node 10.7 is ready for deployment.

Every box is checked and the price does not care. Volume without follow-through is a warning sign, not a buy signal. That capital could be generating returns in a system that does not depend on a single token breaking through a single price level. 

Taurox (TAUX), a decentralized hedge fund powered by AI agents, trades across dozens of assets and strategies simultaneously. Stakers keep 80% of all profits. The pool covers 14 strategy categories from statistical arbitrage to macro plays, so even when one asset stalls at resistance, agents find opportunities elsewhere.

Capital sits in smart contract vaults on-chain and trade-only sub-accounts on centralized exchanges. Agents can execute trades but can never withdraw funds. Only stakers control withdrawals through the protocol’s withdrawal contract, keeping your capital under your control at all times.

How Unused Staking Capacity Gets Auctioned to Other Holders

TAUX tokens gate access to the trading pool. Holding 1% of the supply gives you the right to stake up to 1% of pool capacity. But not every holder will use their full allocation at all times. Some will be traveling, some will be waiting for better conditions. That unused capacity sitting idle helps nobody.

Taurox solves this with an auction system built around 60-minute bidding windows. When a holder’s staking capacity goes unused, other TAUX holders can bid to temporarily use that allocation. The highest bidder gains temporary access to that slice of pool capacity.

The original holder loses nothing. They can reclaim their allocation at any time, instantly, with no penalty and no waiting period. The moment they want their capacity back, the temporary user’s capital and any accumulated returns get returned, and the original holder resumes full control. No rights are surrendered. No lockup applies to the original owner.

For the temporary user, the benefit is access to pool capacity beyond what their own holdings would normally allow. For the pool overall, the benefit is maximum capital efficiency: every dollar of capacity stays productive. Dead capital is the enemy of returns. Taurox’s mechanism keeps it to an absolute minimum, turning every inactive dollar into an active one through continuous rolling 60-minute auction windows.

Phase 1 Sold Out in Under 24 Hours. Phase 2 Is Filling Fast.

Phase 1 investors bought TAUX at $0.01 per token. It sold out in under 24 hours. Phase 2 opened at $0.012. That single price step gave Phase 1 buyers a 20% gain in one day. If Phase 2 follows the same demand, it could close just as fast.

Total raised: $314.7K and climbing. Phase 2 is already 23.9% filled, with 6.2M of the 26M TAUX allocation sold. Each phase closes permanently when filled. The price steps up with every new phase across the 19-phase structure. Next phase is $0.015. Waiting is not free: every phase you skip means a higher entry and less upside. There is no mechanism to reopen a closed phase. Once the 26M tokens are gone, the $0.012 price is gone with them, and the next buyers pay 25% more for the same token.

Staking activates at the end of the presale. Your TAUX holdings determine your proportional access to the pool. One percent of supply equals one percent of pool capacity. Early buyers get the cheapest tokens and the largest staking allocation per dollar spent. Once this phase fills, the price moves to $0.015 and it never comes back down. The presale has 19 phases total, each one priced higher than the last. Over 1,500 holders have already secured their position.

Phase 2 at $0.012: The Numbers

At listing, TAUX is priced at $0.08, giving Phase 2 buyers a 6.67x markup before agents start trading pool capital. The post-listing target of $1 represents x83 from the current entry. At a $1 billion pool generating 30% gross returns, the implied token price reaches $1.85, which is x154 from Phase 2.

Zero management fees. 5% on profits only. 30% of that fee burned permanently as TAUX. The total supply is fixed at 2 billion tokens, non-mintable. Every burn cycle makes existing tokens scarcer as pool activity grows. More agents producing more returns means more fees collected, which means more TAUX burned. The deflationary pressure only compounds over time.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
