Acurast, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) transforming smartphones into a global, verifiable compute layer, listed its native $ACU token earlier this week on leading global cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance Alpha and Futures, OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Bitvavo, Gate, Bitget and others.

The exchange listings followed a period of accelerated growth for the project, including the launch of its Genesis Mainnet and the completion of $11 million in total funding.

Since going live, ACU has seen strong early trading activity, with elevated volume and price volatility in the first 48 hours. Market data shows the token recorded double-digit percentage gains over the past 24 hours, reflecting active participation from traders following its exchange debut, according to CoinMarketCap.

The listings expanded access to Acurast’s ecosystem by bringing the network to a broader audience of developers, users, and enterprises. With its mainnet now live, Acurast enables permissionless, verifiable, and confidential computation across billions of smartphones, offering an alternative to centralized cloud infrastructure through a global mesh of real devices operated by real users. The network supports compute-intensive workloads for artificial intelligence, Web3, and enterprise applications.

“We’re grateful to see Acurast gaining traction from Tier-1 exchanges,” said Alessandro De Carli, Founder and CEO of Acurast. “It’s a strong signal that the industry recognizes Acurast as a serious innovation in decentralized compute, turning everyday smartphones into a powerful and confidential computing network.”

In November 2025, Acurast announced the launch of its Genesis Mainnet alongside $11 million in total funding, including non-dilutive grants and token-based rounds raised between 2023 and 2025. The funding included $5.4 million raised through an oversubscribed public token sale on CoinList in May 2025.

Acurast’s backers include Dr. Gavin Wood (co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Polkadot), Leonard Dörlochter (founder of peaq), Michael van de Poppe (founder of MN Capital), Ogle (founder of GlueNet and CoinDesk’s Most Influential honoree), and Vineet Budki (CEO of Sigma Capital).

“Our design treats smartphones as a verifiable compute endpoint for all users of the network,” De Carli added. “By combining secure hardware attestation with enclave execution, we deliver integrity guarantees that server-centric marketplaces struggle to replicate. The result is a confidential, geographically distributed compute that scales with demand and avoids single points of failure.”

Acurast has already demonstrated significant traction through its incentivized testnet. More than 169,981 smartphones were onboarded as compute nodes, developers deployed 366,877 workloads, and the network processed over 590 million on-chain transactions while supporting 179,000 on-chain accounts, validating its readiness to support real-world, large-scale compute workloads.

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields. When the Fed pushed rates to near zero during the pandemic, 10-year Treasury yields fell to an all-time low of 0.5%. As…
