The post IO.NET July Unlock: Hype vs Real GPU Demand appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Another unlock on the calendar, another round of second guessing. IO.NET has a scheduled July 11 token release, and the big question isn’t just “will price dip.” It’s whether a GPU compute token can show real, sticky demand now that the initial AI pump has cooled. If you hold IO, trade around unlocks, or just watch DePIN and AI-adjacent plays, this one matters. There’s new supply lining up, but there are also burns and on-chain earnings that could offset it. Let’s lay out what’s knowable, what’s fuzzy, and how to prep without getting spun by headlines.

The post Temasek Keeps Crypto “Off the Table” Four Years After $275M FTX Writedown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The post Pi Network Upgrade Adds Persistent Storage for Apps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Pi Network’s July upgrade marks a meaningful shift for App Studio developers — but it hasn’t moved the needle on the token’s price. The platform pushed out a backend overhaul that introduces persistent storage for App Studio applications, enabling apps to save and reload user-specific data across sessions for the first time. For a platform that has long leaned on AI-created apps, the update closes one of the more glaring functional gaps in its developer toolkit. Key takeaways Pi Network’s July upgrade adds backend support to App Studio apps, starting with persistent storage. Apps can now save and reload user-specific data — such as high scores, notes, and preferences — across sessions. Before this upgrade, most App Studio apps were frontend-only, meaning data disappeared when a user left. Pi Network described the change as a significant milestone for AI-created apps on the platform. Despit

The post Why Data Centers Are Booming—And What They’re Actually For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Aerial view of data centers in Ashburn, Virginia. Getty If you’ve driven past a big windowless building, you’ve probably seen a data center. Chances are you’re relying on one right now, without giving it a thought. For most of the internet era, these buildings stayed out of sight. However, now data centers suddenly seem to be everywhere. The short answer as to why is scale: a surge in AI and cloud demand has made them one of the most talked-about and fought-over pieces of modern infrastructure. What Is A Data Center? A data center is a purpose-built building that runs large numbers of computers reliably, securely and around the clock. Inside are the servers, storage and networking gear that do the work, plus the heavy-duty cooling, backup power and physical security that keep them running. One can be as small as a server room or as large as a windowless campus the size of several st
