New Delhi, India, April 7th, 2025, Chainwire
Hive Intelligence, a next-generation platform that empowers AI with real-time, multi-chain blockchain data via a robust API, today announced the official launch of its mainnet alongside its recent induction into NVIDIA’s Inception program for AI startups. These milestones mark a major step in Hive’s mission to make AI-driven blockchain applications faster and more accessible, positioning the company at the forefront of the emerging AI+crypto space.
Key Highlights
- Mainnet Launch: Developers can now leverage Hive Intelligence’s unified API to query real-time data across 60+ blockchains using natural language—eliminating the need to navigate fragmented data sources.
- NVIDIA Inception Membership: Hive gains access to NVIDIA’s best-in-class AI tools and networking opportunities, fueling the development of advanced AI-driven blockchain solutions.
- $HINT Utility Token: The native token powers Hive’s ecosystem, enabling payment for on-chain data queries, AI computations, governance participation, and more.
The Industry Challenge: Driving AI Adoption in Blockchain
The growing convergence between AI and crypto has highlighted a persistent challenge: fragmented on-chain data that’s difficult to ingest, analyze, and act upon at scale. Traditional approaches rely on disparate APIs, complex node infrastructure, or manual data aggregation—all of which limit the potential of autonomous AI agents and advanced blockchain analytics. Hive Intelligence solves these pain points by merging dozens of data providers and blockchains into one streamlined API, enabling near-instant queries optimized for large language models (LLMs) and other AI workflows.
“Hive Intelligence’s mainnet debut isn’t just a product release—it’s an invitation for businesses across Web2 and Web3 to harness the power of on-chain intelligence,” said Rishabh Narang, spokesperson for Hive Intelligence. “By joining NVIDIA Inception and going live on mainnet, we’re proving that AI-driven analytics can become the new standard for blockchain innovation, fueling use cases from DeFi to NFTs, compliance, and beyond.”
Mainnet Ushers in a New Era of AI+Blockchain
The launch of Hive Intelligence’s mainnet opens its AI-driven blockchain data infrastructure to the world. Developers and enterprises can now integrate directly with Hive’s platform to pull real-time, multi-chain data through a single, robust API. Crucially, Hive eliminates the historical fragmentation of blockchain data across disparate networks. For the first time, AI agents can seamlessly query and interact with multiple blockchains in one place, overcoming a major bottleneck in crypto analytics and application development.
Hive’s API is designed to be LLM-ready, supporting natural language queries and AI-friendly responses. This means developers can ask complex questions about blockchain activity in plain English—such as, “What was the total trading volume on decentralized exchanges across Ethereum and Binance Chain in the past 24 hours?”—and receive structured, insightful answers immediately. The platform’s ability to handle such queries across several chains and data types (from DeFi lending stats to NFT marketplace trends) sets it apart as a universal data layer for Web3.
Joining NVIDIA Inception to Turbocharge AI Innovation
Hive’s acceptance into NVIDIA Inception, NVIDIA’s global startup program, provides significant momentum to the project’s AI ambitions. NVIDIA Inception offers technical guidance, go-to-market resources, and networking opportunities to promising companies in artificial intelligence and data science. In Hive’s case, membership comes with access to NVIDIA’s expertise in scaling AI models and infrastructure, as well as potential collaboration on cutting-edge AI research. This partnership is expected to speed up Hive’s roadmap of new features, potentially including enhanced natural language processing models for blockchain queries and more sophisticated AI agent integrations.
$HINT Token: Powering the Hive Ecosystem
At the core of Hive Intelligence’s platform is the $HINT utility token, which launched in tandem with the network. Far more than just a cryptocurrency, $HINT functions as the fuel driving the Hive ecosystem—it is required to access certain services and features on the platform, acting as the key that unlocks Hive’s advanced search and analytics capabilities.
Developers and users utilize $HINT to pay for API calls and data queries on the Hive network, ensuring those who contribute resources are rewarded. As usage grows, demand for $HINT increases, incentivizing more data providers and validators to support the network. The token also underpins community governance and security: $HINT holders can vote on platform upgrades and parameters, aligning Hive’s evolution with its most invested users. Over time, staking and other incentive mechanisms will reward constructive behavior, foster network growth, and reinforce Hive’s commitment to a sustainable, user-centric ecosystem.
A Vision for the Future
Hive Intelligence envisions a world where AI agents seamlessly interact with blockchains, delivering insights, executing transactions, and transforming everything from finance to gaming in real time. With the mainnet live and support from NVIDIA Inception, Hive is uniquely positioned to drive that vision forward—reducing complexity for developers, unlocking opportunities for businesses, and sparking a new wave of AI+crypto applications.
“As the demand for intelligent, on-chain solutions continues to surge, we’re excited to be at the forefront,” Rishabh Narang concluded. “We invite developers and enterprises across industries—Web2 or Web3—to explore Hive Intelligence’s platform and start building the AI agents of tomorrow, today.”
About Hive Intelligence
Hive Intelligence is a pioneering AI+blockchain company providing an infrastructure layer for AI agents and applications to interact with decentralized data in real time. Its unified API offers seamless, natural-language access to dozens of blockchains, enabling a new generation of AI-powered dApps and analytics tools. By solving the data fragmentation problem and delivering comprehensive, LLM-ready blockchain insights, Hive Intelligence accelerates the convergence of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency.
As a member of NVIDIA Inception, Hive has access to advanced AI technology and expertise, further empowering innovation at the intersection of AI and crypto. With its mainnet now live and the $HINT token fueling its ecosystem, Hive Intelligence stands as a leader in bridging blockchain technology with AI-driven analysis and decision-making—fulfilling its vision of making on-chain data as accessible and actionable as information on the traditional web.

Yala, the Bitcoin-native liquidity layer enabling cross-ecosystem financial access, today announced the upcoming launch of Yala RealYield, a curated marketplace for real-world asset (RWA) yield opportunities powered by Bitcoin. The new platform will enable BTC holders to earn regulated, risk-adjusted yields by allocating capital into tokenized financial products, including U.S. Treasury bills, private credit, corporate bonds, and real estate-backed assets.
Yala RealYield is designed as a unified access point to all of Yala’s RWA-related integrations. Rather than operating as a standalone product, it consolidates partnerships and investment opportunities into a structured platform where users can explore, compare, and combine diverse RWA yield sources, each offering distinct risk profiles, durations, and APYs.
By enabling global, 24/7 access to high-quality, compliant RWA opportunities, Yala RealYield democratizes investment strategies previously limited to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.
“Real-world assets are rapidly becoming the next frontier in blockchain finance. With RealYield, we’re offering Bitcoin holders a reliable, transparent way to earn real returns without leaving the decentralized economy,” said Kaitai Chang, COO at Yala. “This is a foundational step toward integrating BTC with the broader financial system.”
Key Features of Yala RealYield:
- Curated RWA Marketplace: Investors can access a wide selection of tokenized real-world yield opportunities, including sovereign debt, real estate, and private credit—all with transparent terms regarding risk, maturity, and return.
- Customizable Yield Strategies: Users can mix and match products to create bespoke portfolios tailored to individual preferences.
- Seamless Bitcoin Integration: All investments begin with BTC, ensuring on-chain transparency, verifiability, and security.
- Compliance-First Design: Robust legal and regulatory reviews to ensure real-world assets can be securely and legally onboarded.
- Unified Experience: Yala offers a single dashboard for minting, trading, and managing RWA and DeFi positions—eliminating the need for fragmented platforms.
- Institutional-Grade Access: Multi-signature custody, on-chain governance, and permissioned access provide a secure foundation for institutional participation.
- Incentivized Participation: Yield farming and staking mechanisms will be introduced to drive engagement across both retail and institutional segments.
Personalized Yield Through a Marketplace Model
Yala RealYield operates as a marketplace, enabling users to browse and select from a range of yield products across categories such as:
- Risk Profile – From low-risk instruments like U.S. Treasuries to higher-yield private credit vehicles.
- Time Horizon – Options range from short-duration liquidity to long-term fixed-income strategies.
- Target Returns – Each product includes APY benchmarks to help users align returns with personal investment objectives.
Yala will also introduce the RWA Vault Allocation Framework, a model that packages diversified real-world assets into unified yield vaults, each with defined allocation weights. This mirrors traditional asset allocation strategies but with the added composability and efficiency of Web3 infrastructure.
Strategic Vision and Market Opportunity
Yala RealYield addresses a long-standing gap in crypto: unlocking Bitcoin’s immense liquidity for productive, low-risk yield generation. The launch comes as institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets accelerates, with the total addressable market for RWAs projected to reach trillions of dollars in the coming years.
By combining compliance-first infrastructure, seamless BTC access, and a growing roster of RWA partnerships, Yala is well-positioned to become the leading yield gateway for Bitcoin in traditional financial markets.
“Bitcoin remains the most underutilized source of liquidity in the global financial system,” said Kaitai. “RealYield allows us to connect that capital to compliant, income-generating products, building a future where BTC earns real-world returns.”
Looking Ahead
Yala plans to expand the RealYield marketplace over the coming months through additional integrations, refined yield packaging, and improved tooling for developers and institutional users. Long-term, Yala will support the use of RWA-backed positions as collateral for stablecoin minting, creating deeper synergies between DeFi and traditional finance.
About Yala
Yala is building a liquidity layer to unlock Bitcoin’s untapped yield across DeFi and RWAs. Users can deposit BTC and access seamless liquidity, enabling efficient capital movement and yield opportunities across ecosystems, chains, and protocols.

Próspera ZEDE, Honduras, April 3rd, 2025, Chainwire
Public sale of governance token commences April 16, with a listing to follow in May; near-term upgrades include Base chain integration, wallet expansion, and DeFi aggregator support.
Stabull Labs LLC, operator of the stablecoin and real-world asset (RWA) decentralised exchange (DEX), Stabull.Finance, has announced the upcoming public sale of its governance token, $STABUL, launching on ProBit Global Exchange on Wednesday, 16th April at 03:00 UTC.
Stabull is a DEX optimised for stablecoins and RWA’s, utilising off-chain price oracles to ensure accurate pricing of tokens within its pools. The platform currently supports a growing list of audited stablecoins and tokenised commodities—such as EURS, GYEN, NZDS, TRYB, and USDC on Ethereum, with broader support on Polygon, including BRZ, COPM, DAI, PAXG, PHPC, USDT, XSGD, and more.
The Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) will be conducted in three phases, starting with a 72-hour offering on ProBit’s Launchpad at a fixed price of $3 USD per token. The $STABUL token has a maximum supply of 10 million, with 20% locked in unsellable protocol-owned liquidity and 30% allocated to a 10-year Liquidity Mining Program— a structure designed to promote long-term sustainability.
This public sale follows six months of intensive airdrop campaigns that stress-tested the protocol. During this period, Stabull processed tens of thousands of transactions, facilitating over $3.7 million in stablecoin and RWA swaps across the 12 currently supported assets. With the campaigns concluded, the platform has now implemented its standard fee structure:
- 0.15% per swap (per pool utilised)
- 70% of fees distributed to Liquidity Providers
- Remaining fees reinvested into protocol operations
Following the IEO, the $STABUL token will officially list on ProBit in mid-May—enabling the team to accelerate protocol and dApp upgrades, expand the number of available pools, and continue building out the premier DeFi platform for discovering, swapping, and earning yield on audited stable assets.
Expanding the Stabull Ecosystem
As part of its 2025 roadmap, Stabull Labs has outlined several key upgrades to be completed by the end of Q3:
- Chain Expansion: Integration with Base as the third supported network—alongside Ethereum and Polygon—to support growing stablecoin and RWA adoption across chains.
- DeFi Aggregator Integrations: Opening Stabull’s pools to broader swap routes and liquidity sources, increasing platform utility and LP revenue opportunities.
- Wallet Connectivity: A revamped, industry-standard wallet connection system that will support desktop, browser extension, hardware, and mobile wallets.
“We’re excited to partner with ProBit Global’s Launchpad for the public sale of the $STABUL token,” said Fran Strajnar, Core Contributor at Stabull Labs. “This launch represents over two years of focused work to deliver a DEX purpose-built for stablecoins and real-world assets.”
For more information on the $STABUL IEO, users can visit the ProBit launchpad. More information about the platform is available at https://stabull.finance , users can explore the DEX at https://app.stabull.finance or read through the documentation and whitepaper for the platform at https://docs.stabull.finance.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Trammell Venture Partners (“TVP”), an Austin-based venture capital firm, today announced the third annual results of its proprietary research on the growth of the Bitcoin-native startup and venture capital landscape. TVP research shows the Bitcoin startup sector continued its breakout category growth trend of forming and investing in new companies, despite the decline in total dollars invested due to the broader venture investment pullback. With a 50% year-over-year increase in transaction count, and a remarkable 767% increase in funding rounds since 2021, the Pre-Seed stage built on its prior years of growth in 2024.
TVP’s analysis indicates that early-stage, Bitcoin-native startups raised nearly $1.2 billion during the 2021-2024 period, based on four years of longitudinal data research.
“One or two years’ data might represent an anomaly, but with four consecutive years of year-over-year growth at the earliest stage of Bitcoin startup formation, the data now confirm a sustained, long-term venture category trend,” said Christopher Calicott, TVP’s managing director. “Many entrepreneurs across crypto are revisiting the Bitcoin stack as the long-term place to build their companies. It makes perfect sense: the objectively most secure, reliable, and decentralized blockchain is the obvious platform of choice, given the increasing capability to build there. And as this wave of early-stage companies find traction, increasing amounts of crypto value will accrue to the Bitcoin stack—a core thesis for TVP.”
The annual release of TVP’s Bitcoin-Native Venture Capital Landscape Research Brief augments the available research for Bitcoin startups. This research aims to support the institutionalization of venture investment for this emerging growth category within crypto and blockchain venture capital.
The TVP Bitcoin startup investment research brief is available for download.

Trammell Venture Partners, founded in 2016, is an Austin-based early-stage venture capital firm investing in Bitcoin-native, security and privacy tech, and applied AI companies. Since 2020, TVP has focused on backing founders building on the layers of the Bitcoin protocol stack via the venture capital industry’s first dedicated Bitcoin-native mandated VC fund series: The TVP Bitcoin Venture Fund series.

Moving Beyond Layer 2s Through Native Parallel Execution on Proof of Work (PoW)
Kadena, the industry leader in scalable blockchain technology, has announced Chainweb EVM with the addition of 20 EVM-compatible chains to its multi-chain network.
Chainweb EVM positions Kadena as a decentralized alternative to Ethereum Layer 2s, with near-zero gas fees, infinite scalability, and energy-efficient Proof of Work security. Kadena takes a unique approach to scaling by leveraging native parallelization for high-throughput execution and processing. Their horizontal scaling network can add new chains to absorb demand fluctuations, which reduces block time and keeps gas fees lower than all Layer 2s.
Builders can deploy and scale dApps with Solidity smart contracts and leverage EVM tooling natively, all while benefiting from Kadena’s scalable, affordable, and decentralized Layer 1 infrastructure.
The Chainweb EVM initiative has received interest from hundreds of builders who signed up for exclusive early access at ETHDenver, gaining the first chance to deploy on-chain. This initiative coincides with Kadena’s $50 million in grants to support building on Chainweb EVM, tokenizing real-world assets, and AI development to drive ecosystem growth.
Stuart Popejoy, Kadena’s co-founder and CEO, commented on the vision for Chainweb EVM, citing his enthusiasm for the buildout.
“Spearheading this project alongside my co-founder, Will (Martino), has been the single biggest initiative at Kadena since its inception. We see Chainweb EVM as the long-lasting settlement platform for the world, from stock market trading to e-commerce payments. Our new chains will soon open what we have been building with Chainweb consensus to the EVM world. Solidity developers can now build with the security, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of Kadena’s native parallel chains,” Popejoy said.
About Kadena
Founded in the U.S. in 2016 by Stuart Popejoy and Will Martino – creators of J.P. Morgan’s first blockchain and leaders of the SEC’s Crypto Committee – Kadena delivers industry-leading performance as the only scalable Layer 1 Proof of Work blockchain.

Dubai, UAE, April 3rd, 2025, Chainwire
Gold prices have shattered previous records, exceeding $3,100 per ounce, reinforcing their position as a vital safe-haven asset in an increasingly volatile global landscape. Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, recognizes this critical market dynamic and reaffirms its commitment to providing the cryptocurrency community with seamless access to diverse financial opportunities. As the first crypto exchange to facilitate gold trading with USDT, Bybit empowers traders to capitalize on these exceptional market movements.
Shunyet Jan, Head of Derivatives and Institutions at Bybit, forecasts continued bullish momentum for gold, citing several key factors:
Strategic Central Bank Accumulation:
- Asian central banks are actively diversifying their reserves, significantly increasing gold holdings while reducing reliance on the US dollar. This strategic shift creates sustained demand and exerts upward pressure on gold prices. Many nations are driven by the desire to reduce dependency on the US dollar, and to have more diversified reserve assets.
Persistent Geopolitical Instability:
- The anticipated implementation of new tariffs under the Trump administration introduces significant geopolitical uncertainty. These tensions, coupled with existing global conflicts, are expected to persist, driving investors towards the stability of gold.
- The uncertainty surrounding the global trade situation will cause market volatility, which in turn will increase the demand for safe haven assets.
Gold as a Reliable Inflation Hedge:
- Gold’s established role as an inflation hedge remains crucial, particularly as concerns about rising prices intensify. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which have demonstrated increased correlation with broader market trends, gold maintains its inverse relationship with inflationary pressures.
- Because of the possibility of rising inflation caused by the new tariffs, and other worldwide economic factors, investors are moving to gold to protect their assets.
Bybit’s proactive approach to market trends led to the introduction of Gold & FX Trading in August 2024, followed by the launch of Copy Trading for Gold & FX in January 2025. These initiatives have democratized access to traditional financial markets, catering to traders of all experience levels.
