In a landmark move, Whale Casino, the biggest project and one of the most prominent operators in the Telegram community, has announced a shift in its operational strategy. The operator has decided to discontinue its Telegram bot service due to recent changes in the platform and decided to concentrate on its web platform, whale.io, heralding a new era of innovation and user engagement.
A Message from Whale:
“Beloved Whales,
We have decided to stop supporting our Telegram bot for now.
As Telegram, We believe in privacy and security over the borders as a licensed operator, hence due to recent actions in the ecosystem we’ve been driven to the conclusion to stop offering our product inside Telegram!
No fear frens, your funds are safe and you can access your account through our Web or by downloading android APK.
#sometimeslosealwayswin #ShowMustGoOn”
This decision comes after deep consideration of the evolving landscape of digital privacy and security, aiming to align with Whale’s core values of providing a secure and seamless experience for its users.
The Evolution of Whale.io
Whale.io has been at the forefront of integrating blockchain technology into gaming, providing a platform where users can engage in various interactive games while ensuring their assets are secure. The shift to a web-centric approach is about changing platforms and enhancing the user experience in a more scalable, accessible, and feature-rich environment.
The web platform, whale.io, offers a host of advantages:
- Enhanced Security: With the latest in cybersecurity protocols, whale.io ensures that user data and funds are protected with the standards of encryption and privacy measures.
- User Experience: The web platform offers an optimized interface for gaming, designed for both desktop and mobile browsers, ensuring smooth gameplay without the limitations often encountered in messaging app environments.
- Broader Access: By focusing on the web, Whale opens its doors to a global audience, not just those on Telegram, thus increasing its community and the potential for new partnerships and integrations.
- Innovative Features: Whale.io is continuously updated with new games, rewards, and social features that leverage the full potential of blockchain technology, including Battlepass with Rewards, Missions, Tribes, and many other community-driven events.
Change for Whale Casino Key Features
The decision to move away from the Telegram bot was influenced by several factors, including the strategic intent to have control over the user experience, compliance with emerging regulatory frameworks, and recent changes to platform Terms. This move also allows for direct integration with other web technologies and gives Whale the flexibility to innovate without the constraints of third-party platform policies. Whale has already over 15M users out of which the majority are using their web platform to access all the features.
What This Means for Whale Users
For existing users, nothing changes as they are still able to log in using their Telegram account or email to access their account, funds, and status. The transition to whale.io ensures:
- Seamless Migration: Users can access their existing accounts directly on the web or through the Android APP, with all previous funds and data intact.
- New Opportunities: With the focus on the web, users can expect more frequent updates, new game releases, and enhanced community features that were previously not possible on Telegram.
- Continued Commitment: The hashtags #sometimeslosealwayswin and #ShowMustGoOn encapsulates Whale’s ethos of resilience and continuous improvement, promising users that this shift is merely the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
Whale.io is Looking Forward
Whale’s pivot to Whale.io is not just a change of platform, but a reaffirmation of its commitment to its community. As one of the biggest operators in the digital gaming space, Whale is set to redefine what gaming on the web can be, turning every click into an adventure and every game into an opportunity. The team at Whale.io is excited about this new beginning and invites all users and newcomers to dive into the boundless possibilities that await on whale.io, where the show must indeed go on.
This press release marks a moment for Whale, as it transitions from a Telegram bot to a full-fledged web platform, aiming to create a future filled with innovation, security, and unmatched user engagement.

Joining forces with the country’s preeminent exchanges, venture capital firms, infrastructure, and service providers emphasizes Figment’s continued leadership role in shaping regulation that facilitates institutional crypto adoption.
As institutional interest in protocol staking continues to grow, Figment’s membership in the Blockchain Association reinforces its commitment to working with policymakers and regulators to establish clear guidelines for the staking ecosystem in particular. This collaboration comes at a crucial time as the industry seeks regulatory clarity, particularly regarding the treatment of protocol staking in exchange-traded products.
“We are excited to welcome Figment as a member of the Blockchain Association. As the U.S. moves into a new era for digital assets, establishing regulatory clarity around staking will be critical. We look forward to the Figment team lending their expertise to these policy conversations in DC”, states Kristin Smith, CEO at Blockchain Association.

The approval of Ethereum in ETFs in May 2024 marked another significant milestone for Proof-of-Stake networks.
The entire Figment team is energized to bring its staking expertise to the Blockchain Association’s agenda at this critical moment for the future of the nation’s crypto policy. Beyond navigating the hopeful addition of staking to ETPs, Figment is also helping traditional banks and brokerages navigate the opportunities of staking within regulated financial institutions made possible through SAB 122.

CARV, the leading AI-chain ecosystem for data sovereignty, has announced an upgrade to its groundbreaking D.A.T.A. (Data Authentication, Trust, and Attestation) Framework, marking a pivotal shift in how AI agents interact with on-chain and off-chain data.
With Phase 2, CARV’s D.A.T.A. framework becomes the first AI agent framework that seamlessly integrates verifiable on-chain data, cognitive AI reasoning, and economic self-awareness with token-driven intelligence, optimizing ecosystems and monetizing actions—turning AI from passive assistants into autonomous, decision-making entities.
This update introduces DeepSeek’s advanced reasoning models, CARV ID (ERC-7231 standard), and token-driven behavioral intelligence, allowing AI agents to process verifiable data, execute financial transactions, and interact dynamically with decentralized ecosystems.
“AI has long operated in silos, disconnected from economic and data ecosystems,” said Yukai Tu, CTO of CARV. “With D.A.T.A. Framework 2.0, AI agents are no longer just reactive tools; they are proactive, intelligent participants in a decentralized world—capable of reasoning, verifying, and transacting autonomously with economic self-awareness through token-driven intelligence.”
The Dawn of AI-Powered Web3 Economies
Traditional AI systems have relied on closed, unverifiable data sources, limiting their ability to interact meaningfully with blockchain economies. D.A.T.A Framework 2.0 changes this paradigm by equipping AI agents with:
- Economic Intelligence: AI agents can own wallets, create digital assets, and execute transactions based on trust metrics and tokenized incentives.
- Multi-Chain & Off-Chain Awareness: By leveraging CARV’s deep Web3 integrations, AI agents can now fetch, verify, and act on real-time blockchain data.
- Token-Driven Trust Models: Agents adjust interaction patterns based on verified holdings and ecosystem contributions, making AI-driven platforms more secure and trustworthy.
- Verifiable AI Reasoning: Through DeepSeek’s cognitive architecture, AI agents can now analyze data, generate self-validated conclusions, and refine strategies dynamically.
Through Chain-of-Thought Processing, AI models generate detailed step-by-step reasoning before executing actions, ensuring more informed and strategic decision-making. Multi-stage verification allows agents to perform self-checks on their conclusions, enhancing accuracy and reliability in complex scenarios. Meanwhile, Reinforcement Learning enables AI to evolve dynamically based on real-time blockchain interactions, optimizing strategies and decision-making over time. This fusion of advanced cognitive processes empowers AI agents to operate with greater autonomy, intelligence, and security within decentralized ecosystems.
Furthermore, with DeepSeek’s cognitive reasoning embedded into D.A.T.A. framework, AI agents can now execute trades, allocate capital, and make governance decisions with unprecedented intelligence and security.
“The integration of DeepSeek into CARV’s D.A.T.A. Framework marks a turning point in AI development,” said Yukai Tu, CTO of CARV. “We are shifting AI agents from passive tools to self-evolving, economically aware entities that engage autonomously with both data and digital assets. By merging reasoning, trust, and decentralized intelligence, we’re setting a new standard for AI’s role in the Web3 ecosystem.”
To further enhance trust and personalization, CARV has integrated CARV ID to D.A.T.A. framework. CARV ID is a cross-chain identity unification layer that enables AI agents to:
- Link blockchain activity to social presence (e.g., Twitter, Telegram, Discord)
- Monetize interactions, optimize token economies, and drive sustainable growth
- Access holistic, multi-chain insights for hyper-personalized AI interactions
By bridging on-chain identity with Web2 reputation, AI agents can tailor their responses, build trust-based engagement models, and dynamically adjust interactions based on real-world credentials. Read more and build now with CARV’s D.A.T.A. Framework.

BYDFi, a well-known crypto exchange, officially announced the upcoming launch of its new Web3 on-chain trading platform, MoonX. Specifically designed for meme traders, MoonX aims to provide a fast, secure, and intuitive on-chain trading experience. The platform integrates core security technologies from Safeheron, a self-custody platform for digital assets, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to build an industry-leading key management system that ensures the highest level of security for users’ assets.
Meme Coin Surge Fuels On-Chain Trading Growth
Over the past year, the surge in Meme Coin trading has led to an unprecedented rise in on-chain transaction volume. In 2024, transaction fees from Meme Coin trading on the Solana blockchain ecosystem alone exceeded $3.093 billion, contributing to the historic increase in on-chain trading activity. However, alongside this growth, security concerns have become more pronounced. On November 16, 2024, the decentralized exchange (DEX) DEXX was attacked by hackers, resulting in the theft of users’ private keys and a loss of $20 million in assets. This breach raised serious concerns about the security vulnerabilities of on-chain trading and the importance of private key protection.
BYDFi Partners with Safeheron to Fully Upgrade On-Chain Trading Security
Every day, thousands of new Meme tokens emerge, and traders face the challenge of selecting quality projects while navigating extreme market volatility. At the same time, the threat to private key security remains one of the most pressing issues in the Web3 space.
As a global crypto exchange, BYDFi places a strong emphasis on security. Its collaboration with Safeheron is intended to bring advanced security features to MoonX, built on decentralized trust models. Safeheron’s use of MPC and TEE technologies aims to enhance key management and transaction signature protection for MoonX, addressing key vulnerabilities in Web3 environments. The partnership includes:
- MPC Multi-Party Computation Architecture: A decentralized model that eliminates the risks of single-point key exposure, ensuring secure key management and asset protection without reliance on centralized custody.
- Cross-Device Security Experience: Embedded MPC nodes that seamlessly support trading across both mobile and web platforms, ensuring secure transactions across devices in a trustless environment.
- Advanced Cryptographic Protocols: Supports elliptic curve algorithms such as ECDSA and EdDSA to reinforce the system’s defense against potential attacks and mitigate risks associated with cryptographic key management.
MoonX: The Ultimate On-Chain Trading Arena for Degen Traders
The high volatility of the Meme Coin market has attracted a wave of Degen traders—speculators who thrive on high-risk, high-reward trades. These traders are constantly searching for the next 100x Gems. MoonX is purpose-built for this audience, enabling on-chain trading of assets across major blockchains including Solana, Ethereum, Base, and BNB Chain. The platform supports over 500,000 token pairs, coupled with powerful market analysis tools to assist traders in making informed decisions.
MoonX offers an array of specialized, professional-grade trading features designed to optimize the user experience:
- Take Profit & Stop Loss: Tools to effectively manage risk and lock in profits in volatile markets.
- Smart Money & Signal Copy Trading: Real-time tracking of whale wallets and large market movers, allowing users to copy trades of high-net-worth individuals and institutional players.
- Limit Orders & One-Click Buy/Sell: A CEX-level user trading experience, combining convenience with decentralized features for optimal transaction control.
- Profit Optimization Strategies: Lock in profits with smart strategies, recoup the initial investment, and hold remaining assets with no cost.
Michael, Co-Founder of BYDFi, stated:
“MOONX is more than just a trading tool—it represents BYDFi’s vision and commitment to the future of Web3. By integrating Safeheron’s cutting-edge security technology, we aim to deliver the safest and most efficient Meme Coin trading environment, eliminating security risks in Web3 trading entirely.”
MoonX is currently in the final stages of development and will soon be launched. Updates will be available through BYDFi’s official channels.

Key Takeaways:
- Significant Trading Growth: PINTU’s trading volume surged over 150% YoY from January 2024 to January 2025, with Monthly Trading Users (MTU) increasing by more than 100%.
- AI & Meme Tokens Lead Market Growth: AI tokens saw a 1,200% increase in trading volume, while meme tokens grew 230%, reflecting Pintu’s user interest in emerging crypto trends.
- Indonesia’s Expanding Crypto Market: Crypto transactions in Indonesia surged 335.91% YoY, reaching IDR 650.61 trillion, highlighting strong local market growth.
PINTU, the leading all-in-one crypto app in Indonesia, announced a remarkable 150% year-on-year (YoY) surge in trading volume, fueled by the explosive growth of AI and meme tokens in 2024. This milestone reflects a broader global trend, as the overall crypto market experienced substantial expansion.
“2024 marked a historic milestone for the global and Indonesian crypto markets,” said Timothius Martin, Chief Marketing Officer of PINTU. “Our internal data from January 2024 to January 2025 reveals a massive increase in trading activity, with total trading volume up over 150% YoY and Monthly Trading Users (MTU) increasing by more than 100%. The most traded tokens on PINTU were AI tokens, which saw a trading volume surge of over 1,200%, followed by meme tokens, which recorded a 230% increase.”
Globally, the crypto market capitalization rose by 97.7% in 2024, reaching $3.40 trillion by the end of the fourth quarter, according to CoinGecko’s Annual Crypto Industry Report. This growth was mirrored by a 128.2% jump in average crypto trading volume, from $88.0 billion in Q3 2024 to $200.7 billion in Q4 2024.
Factors driving this global surge included economic and political developments, particularly in the United States. The election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the U.S. brought optimism to the industry, as he is expected to be more crypto-friendly than the former government. Trump’s administration appointed pro-crypto figures such as Elon Musk to key positions, and there were proposals to establish a U.S. strategic national Bitcoin reserve, further fueling the rise of crypto asset prices.
The rise of AI tokens, with a 2,940% average Return on Investment (ROI) for the top 10, and meme tokens, boasting a 2,185% average ROI, dominated the 2024 crypto narrative. The AI sector growth was driven by innovations like ChatGPT and DeepSeek, as well as AI Agents—autonomous artificial intelligence systems capable of performing complex tasks efficiently.
Meme token growth, driven by communities around projects like Dogecoin (DOGE), which surged 255%, and Popcat (POPCAT), which skyrocketed 9,954%, was closely linked to the Solana (SOL) ecosystem’s expansion. Solana’s network transactions increased by 152% in Q4 2024, exceeding Ethereum‘s transaction volume.
In Indonesia, crypto transactions surged 335.91% from 2023 to 2024, reaching a total value of IDR 650.61 trillion, according to Bappebti (Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency).
Despite the optimistic outlook, Timo advised investors to remain cautious. “While AI and meme tokens have experienced explosive growth, it’s critical to assess their underlying utility, innovation, and community strength. Crypto investments carry inherent risks, and investors must manage their portfolios wisely.”
PINTU emphasizes the importance of responsible investing, urging users to conduct thorough research, invest only what they can afford to lose, and avoid impulsive decisions driven by FOMO. As the crypto market continues to grow, PINTU remains committed to providing a secure, licensed platform that supports new and experienced investors in navigating digital assets.
