    In the latest SlateCast episode, XYO co-founder Markus Levin joined CryptoSlate’s hosts to unpack why decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) are moving beyond niche experiments—and why XYO built a purpose-built Layer-1 to handle the kind of data AI and real-world applications increasingly demand. Levin’s ambition for the network is blunt: “First, I think XYO is […] The post XYO’s Markus Levin: Why a data-native L1 could become AI’s “proof of origin” backbone appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    There are traders you hear about because they talk, and traders you hear about because their footprints keep showing up in public data. The wallet that crypto Twitter has been calling “BitcoinOG,” “1011short,” or some variation of those names falls into the second category. Back in October, the story was simple, and loud. The wallet […] The post This legendary $197M bear has flipped long altcoins with high leverage, but funding rates signal a dangerous trap appeared first on CryptoSlate.
