Venice (VVV)

The United States demanded that Anthropic block foreign users from accessing its latest models, forcing Anthropic to suspend Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users. In case you are not aware, Anthropic is a U.S. artificial intelligence company best known for its AI Claude. Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are two versions of Anthropic’s top‑tier Mythos model series. The U.S. government ordered a complete halt to any foreign citizen’s access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the United States, including Anthropic’s foreign staff. Almost immediately, tokens of decentralized AI projects such as @AskVenice surged. Venice founder Erik Voorhees and the Morpheus community quickly regarded Anthropic’s service pause as concrete proof of the benefits of uncensored, decentralized AI infrastructure. The incident also sparked a price‑rise wave for other decentralized AI tokens like $TAO (Bittensor) and RENDER, as investors see it as evidence of the risk inherent in concentrating advanced AI technology control in a single company and a few regulators.

This week’s $VVV fud is wack. Sidelined capital and underwater shorts: funding has been oddly negative for a while. Longed on top of my spot holdings. This is the only chart that matters, and it’s litterally uponly. https://t.co/THHG1BYt71

so looks like a bunch of folk were shorting $VVV and trying to FUD (negative funding rates means shorts >>> longs -- picture 1, 10 mins ago) while the company keeps growing in multiples, adding new models, building new features and continues to grow looks like they just closed their short position ($2.2M+ liquidated if it hit $16.66, picture 2) causing token to jump, the artificial downward pressure should be gone now

Which of these altcoins do you hold in your portfolio?📈👇🏼 $VVV $TAO $ONDO $HYPE

$vvv retraced entire pump from u.s. govt banning mythos. unfortunate. weak.

$VVV: This is an area that I pre-marked as a decent shorting area; I wasn't a fan of the current chart and thought that it needed to chill/ form a base and pull back a little. Still like Venice as a project but it had such an insane run. Anyways, I was thinking about this 16-17 region as a good area and still partially believe this...but it's always scary shorting a leader and a coin that still has a relevant narrative. Still seems to be a pretty strong on crypto AI right now with TAO also moving so personally going to just watch and wait; not buying or selling.

Anthropic has added a kind of KYC to its privacy policy. I think this is a good decision. It will help prevent malicious actors from accessing the most powerful models, even though it will not completely solve the problem. The more companies adopt identity verification, the higher the demand for private, decentralized, KYC‑free AI will become. And in crypto, $VVV and $POD are the interesting ones.

AI is the best-performing crypto narrative YTD $VVV +906.8% $SKYAI +881.6% $DEXE +453.3% $KITE +116.7% $NEAR +41.3% $RENDER +29.8% $TAO +26.0% $INJ +23.6% $FET +0.4% The biggest gains came from buying early, not chasing later. Is the AI narrative finished or just beginning? https://t.co/Es39OzYOSG
