Token bridging service Wormhole confirmed its plans to release a W token on Wednesday, pledging to distribute 617 million tokens, or 6% of the token's total supply, to past users. Wormhole's financial backers are set to receive over 11% of the W token's circulating supply.
The W token is set to become a governance asset the holders of which will vote within Wormhole DAO, a yet-to-launch entity that will make decisions for the platform, like how much to charge in fees. Wormhole is a cross-chain messaging platform that acts as a way to move money across blockchains, including Solana, Ethereum, Aptos and others. W will launch natively on the Solana and Ethereum networks, according to a webpage released Wednesday, which did not include a date.

UNI advanced over 20% in the past 24 hours, hitting $17 for the first time since Jan. 2022 before slightly retreating to $15.7. The token outperformed bitcoin's (BTC) 3% recovery after yesterday's plunge and the broad-market, altcoin-heavy CoinDesk 20 Index's (CD20) 1% decline during the same period. The rally is driven by investors revaluing UNI in light of the major governance overhaul initiative, which laid out a scheme to reward UNI holders who staked and delegated their tokens, distributing a part of the protocol's income earned from exchange fees. UNI skyrocketed 60% immediately after the proposal submission on Feb. 23, and has more than doubled in price since then

Will the Fed "continue raising interest rates"? Will the "tightening cycle" of the late 1980s be repeated?

The Citi report points out that the current macro environment is highly similar to the tightening cycle of 1988-1989, when the economy remained resilient and inflation pressures gradually accumulated, followed by a slowdown in economic activity before policies shifted to easing. During that tightening cycle, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 16 times in a row.

Rare alliance of arch-rivals! Musk and Altman support Dario Amodei's call to "slow down AI globally"

Anthropic's Amodei issued a call to "slow down AI globally," and to everyone's surprise, rivals Musk and Altman both publicly endorsed the initiative. The three industry giants unanimously agreed to grant third-party access to "employee-level" evaluation rights and to implement coordinated deceleration measures. Altman went further, announcing that OpenAI will not IPO this year. The resignation of a researcher and a collective breakout of uncontrollable AI systems have ignited long-standing industry fears.
