The big shots in the crypto world are seriously starting to collectively 'double down' and pivot to AI, and they’re doing it with major vibes Some are even directly launching tokens! - @ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees: Went ahead and founded http://Venice.ai, focusing on privacy and censorship-free AI. It’s now officially designated by OpenClaw as a recommended model provider (defaulting to their Llama 3.3 70B). The VVV token has skyrocketed over 70% in the past few days, and FOX is also up. - @NEARProtocol co-founder Illia Polosukhin (co-author of the Transformer paper and already a big name in the AI space): Leading the launch of IronClaw (inspired by OpenClaw, but a Rust version focused on privacy + TEE security). The YC core team is hyping it up, and NEAR AI is fully transforming into an AI agent infrastructure. Even NearCon is all about 'agents + crypto.' No token launch yet, but it feels like it’s empowering NEAR. Who’s going to pivot next?
