GM Crypto fam,

From Bitcoin’s resilience above $110K to ETF deadlines being pushed back and fresh Layer-2 buzz, this week kept the majors in the spotlight. Add in predictions of BTC breaking $120K and the rise of “hybrid meme-infra” plays, and crypto hasn’t had a dull moment.

And the rise of AI-generated video the ingenious Crypto Trauma Center, and why it might be the next big content revolution.

Let’s get into it 👇

đŸ€– The Future of AI-Generated Video

AI-generated video is moving from sci-fi to everyday feeds. Platforms like Google’s Flow have already pushed past 100M AI videos in 2025 (aiboost.co.uk).

Instead of glass fruits getting sliced, the latest viral hit asks: “Which ocean would you swim in?” Turning digital waves and fantasy seascapes into surreal, cinematic experiences. Proof that AI can make even a simple question feel like an epic journey.
