BIG: Spot dogecoin:native ETFs just posted their strongest weekly net inflow ever. Spot Dogecoin ETFs just pulled in +$2.89M this week, logging the biggest weekly inflow in the fund's history and smashing the prior January 2026 record of $2.59M.  Total ETF holdings now stand at $17.03M. Imagine telling someone a decade ago that regulated institutions would be bidding internet meme money on Nasdaq 🐕

Imagine waking up to random cash flooding your X Money balance 🤯 UsePaid solana:98kfF7rmsg1QDUEoCqNE7g7M1FdrTt92TEp2CLzypump is letting memecoin creators convert trading fees into USD and dump them directly into users' accounts without consent, driving over $1.44M in what recipients call a "financial DDoS". But while the viral payout loop is printing money, Nikita Bier warned of its scam potential: “Without an opt-out button, rogue traders can easily weaponize unrequested cash to harass creators into forced token endorsements.”

Big Tech is spending so heavily on AI that aggregate free cash flow across major hyperscalers could turn negative in 2026. Capex surged nearly 100% this year, crushing valuations to decade-low multiples. Goldman Sachs now expects spending growth to cool to 54% in 2027 and 12% in 2028, opening the door for a sharp cash flow rebound.

The cost of achieving a given level of AI performance is falling 47% every quarter, or roughly 13x per year. That rate of decline is 4 times faster than DNA sequencing, 6 times faster than computing power, and 18 times faster than lithium batteries. While data center infrastructure and electricity prices climb, the price of artificial thought is collapsing at the fastest pace of any transformative technology in history.

The litecoin:native rally is not being driven by ETF demand. Futures open interest added $270 million in one week to reach $670 million, closing in on its yearly peak. Over that same period, spot ETF inflows totaled just $2.8 million. The last time leverage reached these levels in January, Litecoin collapsed from above $80 to $53.

UPDATE: President Trump reports a productive meeting with President Xi. He notes that both sides discussed renaming Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence". According to Trump, President Xi seemed to like the new name. He added that everyone agreed on the term.
Trump announces at the @UN that the U.S. will officially rename AI to “super intelligence” (S.I.) in all government documents. His reasoning: the word "artificial" makes it sound fake. He also formally rejected any global framework to regulate the technology.
