Crypto market is green today
After several days of decreases, the market has turned green.
Over the past 24 hours, the global cryptocurrency market capitalization has decreased by 0.6%, currently standing at $3.11 trillion.
At the time of writing, the daily crypto trading volume is $111 billion, higher than what we’ve been observing over the past several days.
In the top 10 coins category, all coins have turned green. Solana (SOL) has increased the most. It’s up 3.4% to $151.58. It’s followed by Dogecoin (DOGE)’s 3% to the current price of $0.1791.
The smallest increase is 0.4% by Binance Coin (BNB), which now trades at $603.57.
At the same time, Bitcoin (BTC) appreciated 1.5%, currently changing hands at $96,254, slowly climbing back to the $100,000 mark. Ethereum (ETH) is up by 2.9%, now trading at $1,849.
When it comes to the top 100 coins per market cap, only eight are red today. XDC Network (XDC) decreased the most: 2.1% to $0.07741. Next one is Optimism (OP), which fell 1.7% to $0.7354.
On the other hand, Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) increased the most by far. It’s up 37.3% to the price of $1.74. The second highest gainer is Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), which appreciated 12.6%, now trading at $1.25.
Blockaid Now Helps Power Ledger’s New Transaction Check
Onchain security platform Blockaid announced its integration as a technology provider for Transaction Check, a new feature from the major crypto wallet maker Ledger.
Transaction Check, alongside Clear Signing, makes signing transactions on Ethereum and EVM chains safer, says the press release. It analyses a transaction for any potential threats.
By powering Transaction Check as one of its integrations, Blockaid’s Transaction Security Engine enables Ledger users to independently check for known threats. This happens in real time before approving a transaction.
When a user initiates a transaction via Ledger Live, Blockaid simulates it and sends the results to the Ledger device. Users get either a green light or a warning, as well as a link to a full simulation report.
Therefore, Transaction Check aims to reduce vulnerabilities associated with blind signing, which sees users unknowingly approving malicious or altered transactions, the team states.
“By delivering real-time transaction simulation and cryptographically signed verification directly to Ledger devices, Blockaid and Ledger are closing a critical gap that attackers have repeatedly exploited,” the press release says.
Morpho Launches New Mini App inside the World App
DeFi protocol Morpho has launched a new mini app inside the World App to bring lending, borrowing, and yield to 25 million verified humans on World Chain.
Per the blog post, more than 25 million users on World App can now use their WLD, WETH, USDC.e, WBTC, and others to earn or get a loan against those assets without selling them.
The team says that the process does not involve bridging, “clunky” onboarding, or managing seed phrases across different networks. Anyone can just open the World App and tap into the Morpho Mini App. This will allow them to access a global lending and borrowing market or deposit in vaults to earn rewards. This includes the US users as well.
Additionally, there are “extra rewards” for verified humans. All World Chain users can also access an extensive browser-based frontend interface via Oku Trade, built by GFX Labs, says the team.
“This rollout is one of the largest deployments of self‑custodial open finance ever offered to retail users,” the announcement claims.
Furthermore, up to five million dollars in additional token rewards will be available on World over the next twelve months to mark the launch. This is “the largest amount ever deployed with Morpho on any chain. And, in another first for crypto, World ID also allows a portion of these rewards to be uniquely hyper-targeted to and prioritized for real humans in DeFi, not bots,” the team concludes.
aZen Raises $1.2M to Unify AI Computing Through Decentralized Infrastructure
aZen, a scalable computing layer that powers Web3 applications, AI, and data analytics, has secured $1.2 million in seed funding in a round led by Waterdrip Capital, with participation from DWF Ventures, Rootz Labs, Mindfulness Capital, Attention Ventures, Quantum Leap Lab, DePIN-X, and ODIG.
The project, which is set to launch its mainnet in Q3 2025, aims to unify AI computing through decentralized infrastructure, the press release says. It will use the funding to accelerate the market rollout of its flagship product, ZenHive. The team describes this as a next-gen DePIN device that merges Edge AI, Data Analytics, Content Delivery, and Network Acceleration into a commercial-grade unit.
Furthermore, ZenHive is now integrated with Internet Computer (ICP), a decentralized Web3 cloud platform so it can utilize ICP’s on-chain computation and storage layer for fast, cost-efficient AI inference and data processing.
“By converting idle compute resources into dynamic, fractionalized NFTs and orchestrating them through an AI-driven protocol, aZen delivers scalable, real-time compute for AI agents, dApps, and commercial applications, the press release says.
aZen says it has recorded over 500,000 aZen HUB downloads and 360,000 monthly active users, while its DePIN Lite testnet phase saw 80,000 active nodes.
“As geopolitical tensions and export restrictions threaten global access to high-performance chips — exemplified by a looming shortage in specialized chips amid US-China trade restrictions — aZen’s approach offers a timely and resilient alternative,” it concluded.
