On April 25, POL marked its fifth day of gains, breaking a prolonged downtrend as ecosystem momentum and NFT demand picked up. According to crypto.news, Polygon’s native token, POL (formerly MATIC), surged nearly 20% to an intraday high of $0.26, pushing weekly gains to 34% and marking a 70% rebound from its monthly lows. Its market cap has once again crossed the $2 billion mark, standing at around $2.15 billion at the time of writing. A sharp rise in trading activity backed this rally. POL’s 24-hour volume also shot up 270% to over $340 million, signaling increased buying pressure. Meanwhile, interest from derivative traders is also on the rise, with open interest in POL futures climbing 25% to $107 million in the last day alone. The latest price surge appears to be closely tied to the launch of the Agglayer Breakout Program, Polygon’s new initiative aimed at incubating high-impact projects that build on Agglayer and Polygon.  The program supports early-stage blockchain startups with funding and dev resources while directly directly rewards POL stakers with token airdrops ranging from 5% to 15% of a project’s token supply from graduating projects. Notably, two standout projects, Privado ID and Miden, are already preparing their own drops. Privado ID is allocating around 5%, and Miden plans to airdrop 10% of its tokens to POL stakers.

A recent report from crypto.News shows that NFT sales on Polygon (POL) reached $22.1 million in the seven days leading up to April 22, surpassing Ethereum (ETH), which brought in $21.8 million during the same period. As of press time, Polygon is also outpacing other platforms in terms of the number of buyers. Over the past week, 47,592 people bought NFTs on Polygon, a noticeable increase of roughly 62%. In comparison, Ethereum had 39,498 buyers per data from CryptoSlam. Source: Santiment The rising bullish sentiment among its investors is also evident in a steady increase in the number of wallets holding between 10,000 and 100 million POL tokens. That suggests whales and mid-sized holders are accumulating, possibly expecting more upside. POL price analysis On the daily chart, POL has broken out above the upper trendline of a long-term descending pattern that began in December 2023. This kind of breakout often signals the start of a trend reversal, and the momentum looks strong. POL price, 9-day and 20-day EMA — April 25 | Source: crypto.news It also formed a golden cross on the daily timeframe, with the 9-day EMA moving above the 20-day EMA for the first time since November 2024. Back then, this signal flashed just before POL went on a 112% rally within a month, climbing from $0.34 to $0.71. If history repeats, a similar upside move could be on the cards. POL Aroon and Supertrend chart — April 25 | Source: crypto.news Momentum indicators are leaning bullish, too. The Aroon Up is at 92.86% while the Aroon Down sits at 35.71%, showing clear dominance by buyers. The Supertrend indicator has also flashed a buy signal, with its green support line appearing below the price for the first time since last December. With the current momentum in play, analysts have started to line up bullish targets. For instance, Man of Bitcoin pointed out that POL is currently in the third wave of an Elliott Wave pattern and has just hit the 1.618 Fibonacci extension, typically where wave-3 peaks. A healthy wave-4 pullback could come next, with support between $0.241 and $0.217. Meanwhile, Mohamed G. Sewid believes this bounce might be the start of a massive bull run, possibly ending a 3-year corrective wave. As long as the $0.151 low holds, he says, POL could be eyeing a return to all-time highs, especially if it clears the $0.768 mark.

Dr. Ben Goertzel, SingularityNET’s visionary, foresees AGI transforming society by 2030. In an exclusive interview, he explores the implications of AI and what it means for the future of crypto. In an engaging one-on-one interview, Dr. Ben Goertzel, founder of SingularityNET, details his plans for Hyperon, a decentralized AGI system, and MeTTa (Meta Type Talk), a declarative and functional computational programming language for advancing AGI. Shaped by a socially conscious upbringing and a passion for decentralization, he predicts AGI will surpass human intelligence within a decade, transforming economies and necessitating universal basic income while advocating for open-source innovation. Founded by Goertzel in 2017, SingularityNET (AGIX) is a decentralized platform for AI development, focusing on AGI systems like Hyperon. Below, Goertzel outlines his vision for furthering SingularityNET’s mission for an open, decentralized AI. Dorian Batycka: Dr. Ben Goertzel, thank you for joining me. We’re here in what my voice recorder tells me is a carousel garden in Paris.   Dr. Ben Goertzel: Thank you. There must be a carousel around here somewhere.   Batycka: You’re a legend in AI and crypto. Can you share your origin story? Where did Ben Goertzel come from?   Goertzel: I was born in Rio, Brazil, not on the West Coast as some might assume. My family moved to Eugene, Oregon, in the early 1970s, during the height of hippie culture. Later, I lived in the New York area. My interest in AI began as a child in the early ’70s.   Batycka: Did you ever cross paths with figures like John Perry Barlow?   Goertzel: I met him briefly but didn’t know him well.   Batycka: Were you part of the cypherpunk movement? Were you driven by privacy or ideological principles?   Goertzel: I was fascinated by AI long before the cypherpunk era. In 1973, at age seven or eight, I found a book called The Prometheus Project by Gerald Feinberg in a Jersey library. It discussed superintelligent machines, nanotechnology, and conquering death, posing the question of whether we’d use these advancements for consumerism or consciousness expansion. That shaped my thinking early on.   Batycka: What about your ideological roots? Were you motivated by social causes, money, or something else?   Goertzel: Money never interested me. I was raised by Marxist hippies in Eugene, surrounded by anti-Vietnam War marches and protests against exploited farm workers. My father was a sociology professor who lost tenure at the University of Oregon in 1972 for not being Marxist enough, despite writing a Marxist sociology textbook. My mother ran nonprofits in inner-city Philadelphia, supporting abused women and teen mothers. Social activism was the vibe I grew up with.   Batycka: Did you align with movements like Occupy or Anonymous?   Goertzel: I sympathized with their goals but wasn’t directly involved. My grandfather, a physical chemist, sparked my early interest in science. Feinberg’s book stayed with me, and when the internet emerged in the mid-’90s, I saw its potential for decentralized AI. I even jokingly talked about running for president on a “decentralization party” platform in 1995, though I was too young—and later realized it’s a terrible job.   Batycka: So, the internet’s decentralized architecture resonated with you?   Goertzel: Absolutely. TCP/IP is inherently decentralized, and in the ’90s, the internet wasn’t dominated by giants like Google or Microsoft. It was clear you could build distributed AI systems without central control.   You might also like:ZK ‘redefines trust,’ Lagrange CEO says after NVIDIA Inception nod Batycka: From a political economy perspective, I see the internet as a space for freedom—think WikiLeaks or Silk Road. Do you share that libertarian view, or do you lean elsewhere?   Goertzel: I’d describe myself as more anarcho-socialist than libertarian. Pure libertarianism ignores systemic issues, like 60% of kids in Ethiopia suffering brain stunting from malnutrition due to colonial legacies. That’s not just “their problem.” But the current system isn’t helping them much either.   Batycka: Do you believe AI and the singularity could lead to something like universal basic income (UBI)?   Goertzel: I think we’ll achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI)—AI as smart as humans—within two to seven years. Shortly after, we’ll see artificial superintelligence (ASI), far surpassing human intelligence. Once AGI can perform any human job, most jobs will vanish rapidly. UBI becomes almost inevitable in developed nations. The challenge is ensuring access in places like the Central African Republic, where diffusion of technology lags behind job obsolescence.   Batycka: What about hardware limitations? AGI might exist, but can it perform physical tasks like serving sandwiches or taking out the trash?   Goertzel: Humanoid robots or specialized machines could handle those tasks. We already know how to automate shops like this one; it’s just more expensive than human labor now. Once AI streamlines manufacturing, costs will drop significantly.   Batycka: Are the barriers to mass adoption economic, energy-related, or something else?   Goertzel: It’s primarily economic—manufacturing costs across the supply chain, from mining to production. AGI could optimize these processes faster than humans.   Batycka: Media outlets like Bloomberg are saying AI could eliminate jobs and is more critical to regulate than nuclear weapons. What’s your take?   Goertzel: Nuclear weapons aren’t economically transformative, but AI is already militarized—think drones. If my team launches a decentralized AGI in two or three years, running on machines across 50 countries with open-source code, it could be customized for local needs, like translating African languages or advancing longevity research. But leaders like Trump, Xi, or Putin could fork it for military purposes, replacing Marines with drones or RoboCops to suppress protests.   Batycka: The media portrays AGI as a Y2K-like switch—either extinction or utopia. Is it that binary?   Goertzel: Hardware takes time to build, but software moves fast. Most computer systems are insecure, and an AGI slightly smarter than humans could hack every internet-connected device—phones, power grids, financial systems. That’s not instant drone armies, but it’s immense power. An AGI might choose a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or even Dogecoin for convenience, existing purely in the computational domain.   Batycka: Let’s talk about SingularityNET. What are you building, and what’s the use case?   Goertzel: At SingularityNET, we’re working on Hyperon, an AGI system succeeding our earlier OpenCog project. It integrates large language models (LLMs), logical reasoning engines, evolutionary learning, and algorithmic chemistry to mimic human-like cognition more comprehensively than LLMs alone, which struggle with systematic reasoning. We’re also building a decentralized AI platform where any AI, including Hyperon, can run without central control. In August, we’re launching a layer-one blockchain with a smart contract language called Metta, allowing AI processes to run on-chain or communicate off-chain. The tokenomics, similar to Bittsensor, will prioritize shards doing real work over speculative meme coins.   Batycka: So, you’re creating an economic layer for AI research on-chain?   Goertzel: Our primary focus is AGI R&D, but we’re also building the infrastructure for a decentralized AI ecosystem. We’ve been at this for years, long before crypto, and brought much of the same team. We also created Sophia, the viral robot, and another robot, Damon, who sings in my progressive jazz-rock band on Vashon Island.   Batycka: At ETH Prague, Vitalik Buterin mentioned the potential for DAOs and AI to intersect. Do you agree?   Goertzel: Absolutely. A community of AGIs could use DAOs for collective governance, sharing data directly in ways humans can’t. For human DAOs, AI could enhance participatory democracy, like liquid democracy, where you delegate votes on specific issues—environment, military—to trusted parties or even AIs configured to align with your values. This could make direct democracy scalable, though internet security remains a hurdle.   Batycka: What’s holding back digital democracy? Estonia and Dubai have experimented, but it’s not widespread.   Goertzel: Insecurity in digital systems is a major barrier. Blockchain could help, but it requires decentralized oversight to prevent hacks. Unlike physical voting, where local monitors can spot fraud, digital systems demand technical expertise, which could exclude ordinary people from ensuring fairness.   Batycka: Does AI need regulation, and if so, what kind?   Goertzel: Early on, we’ll regulate AI, but once it surpasses human intelligence, it’ll regulate us—hopefully lightly, like park rangers overseeing squirrels in Yellowstone, intervening only when necessary. I don’t trust current governments to regulate AI effectively; they can’t even address simpler issues like hunger or nuclear disarmament. For $250 billion, we could end global malnutrition, yet we bailed out banks for trillions.   Batycka: You sound like a cyber-utopian Luddite, acknowledging AI’s dominance while embracing human limitations.   Goertzel: You’ll soon have two choices: stay human and enjoy your form, or merge with the superintelligent matrix. Or both—upload a copy of yourself while keeping a human version. The idea of not having a backup copy of yourself will soon seem absurd.   Batycka: Dr. Goertzel, thank you for this fascinating conversation.   Goertzel: My pleasure.

Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies and issuer of exchange-traded funds, has announced the launch of two new ETPs for Litecoin and Curve DAO Token. Valour launched the Valour Curve DAO (CRV) and Valour Litecoin (LTC) exchange-traded funds  on the Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden.  Following the announcement, prices for both assets rose, with LTC surging more than 12% to outpace most top-100 altcoins by market cap. The rally comes even as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently delayed a decision on a proposed spot Litecoin ETF. Litecoin, often dubbed “digital silver” in relation to Bitcoin, rose above $92, while CRV climbed 5% to test resistance around $0.68. The launch expands Valour’s footprint in the Nordic region, offering investors access to a broader range of digital asset products beyond the standard Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs. “By launching ETPs on Curve and Litecoin on the Spotlight Stock Market, we’re meeting that demand and expanding access to a broader range of digital assets. These additions reflect our commitment to leading in product innovation and staying responsive to investor needs,” Johanna Belitz, head of Nordics at Valour, said.

They add to Valour’s existing suite of crypto products, which includes offerings linked to Cardano, BNB, Aptos, Avalanche, Sui, and Dogecoin, and other altcoins. Commenting on the LTC and Curve DAO ETPs, Valour head of products Elaine Buehler, noted: “When developing new ETPs, we look closely at assets that combine strong market fundamentals with real-world utility. Curve and Litecoin both meet those criteria — one driving innovation in decentralized finance, the other proving itself over a decade as a fast and efficient payment network.” In the future, Valour plans to add single-asset ETPs for Tron, Stellar, MANTRA and Move.   The issuer’s quest to offer 100 ETPs by end of 2025 will also see it offer products on real-world asset and tokenization basket and a digital gold basket. In the latter, Valour eyes a basket of Bitcoin, Paxos Gold and Tether Gold. An institutional layer-1 basket will feature “blockchain networks with strong enterprise and government partnerships.” These include Algorand, Hedera, Polkadot and Sei. BlackRock’s BUIDL will also be in this basket. Valour’s products are listed on top European exchanges such Spotlight, Börse Frankfurt and Euronext. The company also eyes traction across the Middle East, Asia and Africa. You might also like:Swirl brings liquid staking to IOTA, boosting liquidity for its DeFi
