Rather than trading capital, candidates will help train AI systems to reason the way professional market participants do — analyzing blockchain activity, interpreting market structure, and navigating volatility across centralized and decentralized venues.
The scope covers how traders evaluate on-chain flows, approach derivatives and perpetual futures, spot inefficiencies between exchanges, and manage risk in fast-moving, 24/7 markets.
Work includes reviewing and critiquing model outputs, producing structured reasoning traces, and occasionally contributing audio or video explanations using xAI’s internal tools.
The hiring push comes as crypto markets — led by bitcoin — continue to mature and attract institutional attention, increasing demand for AI systems that can interpret complex financial environments.
The move also fits with xAI’s proximity to X (formerly Twitter), which remains one of the largest real-time social platforms for crypto communities — a key place where traders track narratives, sentiment shifts, and breaking market chatter.
As crypto markets — led by bitcoin — continue to mature and attract institutional attention, xAI appears to be investing in domain expertise as training data to make its models better at interpreting complex, noisy market environments.

Crypto-Fueled Rekt Drinks Sells 1 Millionth Can Amid MoonPay Collab
The post Crypto-Fueled Rekt Drinks Sells 1 Millionth Can Amid MoonPay Collab appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Rekt Brands sold its 1 millionth can of its Rekt Drinks flavored sparkling water. The Web3 firm collaborated with payments infrastructure company MoonPay on a peach-raspberry flavor called “Moon Crush.” Rekt incentivizes purchasers of its drinks with the REKT token, which hit an all-time high market cap of $583 million in August. Web3 consumer firm Rekt Brands sold its 1 millionth can of its Rekt Drinks sparkling water on Friday, surpassing its first major milestone with the sold-out drop of its “Moon Crush” flavor—a peach raspberry-flavored collaboration with payments infrastructure firm MoonPay. The sale follows Rekt’s previous sellout collaborations with leading Web3 brands like Solana DeFi protocol Jupiter, Ethereum layer-2 network Abstract, and Coinbase’s layer-2 network, Base. Rekt has already worked with a number of crypto-native brands, but says it has been choosy when cultivating collabs. “We have received a large amount of incoming enquiries from some of crypto’s biggest brands, but it’s super important for us to be selective in order to maintain the premium feel of Rekt,” Rekt Brands co-founder and CEO Ovie Faruq told Decrypt. (Disclosure: Ovie Faruq’s Canary Labs is an investor in DASTAN, the parent company of Decrypt.) “We look to work with brands who are able to form partnerships that we feel are truly strategic to Rekt’s goal of becoming one of the largest global beverage brands,” he added. In particular, Faruq highlighted MoonPay’s role as a “gateway” between non-crypto and crypto users as a reason the collaboration made “perfect sense.” “We’re thrilled to bring something to life that is both delicious and deeply connected to the crypto community,” MoonPay President Keith Grossman told Decrypt. Rekt Brands has been bridging the gap between Web3 and the real world with sales of its sparkling water since November 2024. In its first sale,…
