While Bitcoin Consolidates at $110K, Ozak AI Surges Past $4.48M in Presale — Analysts Say It Could Be the Next Big AI Breakout

While Bitcoin Consolidates at $110K, Ozak AI Surges Past $4.48M in Presale — Analysts Say It Could Be the Next Big AI Breakout

The post While Bitcoin Consolidates at $110K, Ozak AI Surges Past $4.48M in Presale — Analysts Say It Could Be the Next Big AI Breakout appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As Bitcoin steadies around the $110,000 mark after months of intense volatility, a quieter but far more dynamic story is unfolding within the AI-driven crypto sector. Ozak AI ($OZ), an emerging decentralized artificial intelligence network, has captured investor attention by surpassing $4.48 million in presale funds — a milestone achieved amid one of the toughest correction phases of 2025. At a current price of $0.014 per token, Ozak AI’s momentum signals that investors are now actively rotating capital into next-generation AI-based crypto ecosystems. While most projects are struggling to regain investor confidence, Ozak AI appears to be writing its own growth narrative, powered by a clear use case, strategic partnerships, and robust architecture. Smart Investors Move Beyond Bitcoin’s Plateau Bitcoin’s consolidation phase, though a positive sign of maturity, has left many short-term traders searching for new opportunities with higher upside potential. Analysts believe that Ozak AI offers exactly that — a blend of AI utility, data monetization, and blockchain scalability that can drive exponential returns in the coming years. Market experts have compared the project’s early trajectory to that of Solana and Chainlink in their presale days. With Bitcoin currently absorbing profit-taking and Ethereum stabilizing near the $4,000 level, investors are turning their attention to smaller-cap tokens that combine innovation with practical adoption. Ozak AI’s Technological Core Unlike many speculative presales, Ozak AI’s foundation lies in a fully integrated ecosystem that uses AI models to automate data prediction, blockchain coordination, and decentralized storage. Its standout components include: Prediction Agents (PAs): AI-driven models that process real-time blockchain data to forecast trends and optimize on-chain decisions. Ozak Stream Network (OSN): A high-speed data layer that ensures frictionless connectivity between AI nodes and user applications. EigenLayer AVS Integration: Enhances protocol security and performance using restaking capabilities. Arbitrum Orbit Integration: Expands Ozak AI’s scalability…

BlockDAG’s $15 DePIN Vision Outpaces the Hedera Price Surge & Internet Computer Price Trend

BlockDAG’s $15 DePIN Vision Outpaces the Hedera Price Surge & Internet Computer Price Trend

The recent Hedera (HBAR) price surge and the steady Internet Computer (ICP) price trend have sparked renewed interest among traders seeking projects with lasting substance. Both coins highlight a market that’s maturing, one where buyers are paying more attention to real infrastructure rather than hype. Yet, as analysts weigh which platform could define the next stage of decentralised infrastructure, the spotlight increasingly falls on BlockDAG (BDAG). Many now call it “The $15 DePIN Kingmaker Projection,” suggesting it may become the best crypto for the future, not through speculation, but by powering a global, physical network already expanding at scale. BlockDAG’s Expanding Infrastructure Strengthens Its $15 DePIN Projection Analysts project BlockDAG’s $15 target not because of buzz, but because of its tangible progress in hardware deployment. Unlike other projects still in development, BlockDAG already operates one of the largest decentralised physical networks before even launching its mainnet. More than 20,000 X-series miners have been sold worldwide, and over 3.5 million users are active on the X1 mobile mining app. Together, these users form a decentralized grid supporting future applications such as AI processing, VPNs, data storage, and IoT systems. This real-world utility underlines why BlockDAG is being called the best crypto for the future, it’s built on working infrastructure rather than promises. Its presale success reflects the same momentum: over $435 million raised, 4.2 billion coins still available, and gained 312,000+ holders so far. Priced at $0.005 in Batch 32, the project’s presale is ending…

You Don’t Need to Be Rich to Profit Big — Just $250 in Ozak AI Could Make You a Millionaire by 2029

You Don’t Need to Be Rich to Profit Big — Just $250 in Ozak AI Could Make You a Millionaire by 2029

The post You Don’t Need to Be Rich to Profit Big — Just $250 in Ozak AI Could Make You a Millionaire by 2029 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. $OZ is mitigating the idea that high returns can be earned only with huge investments. Ozak AI practically gives the possibility to turn any small investment into a larger ROI. The investment could be as small as $250 or as high as $1,000, and the return is projected to be spectacular. A rough timeline is 2029, when the Ozak AI token could mark significant strides. The AI-powered crypto project has already attracted a large number of investors. They have noted financials and the technology behind $OZ. These are the components that are making Ozak AI a potential investment option for everyone irrespective of the size of their investments. $OZ’s Roadmap to Millions Investors with $250 in $OZ have the potential to see it turn into millions. It might take 4 more years, that is by 2029, but chances are that the Ozak AI token will stand true to the projected trajectory. It has already surged by 12x from $0.001 to $0.014, and it is on the path to see a growth of 1,000x. Once at $1, it is estimated that the crypto bull cycle that follows would fuel further growth. This can be briefly understood by considering a base investment of $250. If done at $0.001, it would turn into $250,000 at $1, and when $OZ hits $10, the same investment would be worth $2.5 million. Investors accumulating at $0.014 will only need to wait longer since it collects fewer tokens compared to investments at $0.001. Nevertheless, $OZ continues to present the opportunity of turning a small-sized investment into millions of dollars. Ozak AI’s presale has been able to raise over $4.48 million by selling more than 1 billion $OZ tokens. This success is becoming a fundamental testament to the ambitions of the Ozak AI ecosystem. AI x Decentralization, Ozak…

Four Miners Back Psy Protocol’s New Proof-of-Work Testnet Launch

Four Miners Back Psy Protocol’s New Proof-of-Work Testnet Launch

Four prominent crypto mining infrastructure providers will join Psy Protocol’s public testnet, launched last month. Global mining giant F2Pool, known for Dogecoin and Litecoin mining pools, and three other mining firms, GrandCroix, DePIN X Capital, and Codestream, will join the testnet. PoW Platform Can Process 1M Transactions Per Second Per a company release shared with Cryptonews, the proof-of-work platform Psy will demonstrate throughput exceeding one million transactions per second. To achieve this, the protocol uses an architecture where users create zero-knowledge proofs of their transactions on their own devices. This will eliminate the computational risks faced by validators. Psy Protocol launched its public testnet in October, introducing a blockchain architecture for increased security. Psy’s architecture achieves virtually unlimited transactions per second and block times, allowing the network to scale as more users generate proofs. The platform said on X that November “will open a new chapter.” “The public PoW testnet is on the horizon, SDK tools are expanding, and new community initiatives are coming online.” Mining Partners’ Role in Psy PoW Ecosystem Carter Feldman, CEO and founder of Psy, frames the influx of mining support as a major credibility milestone. “With proof of stake, the largest token holders control the network by staking assets they already own,” he said. “Here, miners are deploying actual infrastructure and paying operational costs to participate.” The Psy PoW allows miners to verify and aggregate zero-knowledge proofs rather than compete to find random hash values. Simon Yang, founder of DePIN X Capital, echoed the need for “economic utility instead of waste,” positioning Psy as a platform that can bridge on-chain computation with real-world economic value. The participating miners will validate the protocol’s performance and security during testnet before mainnet activation. Psy has planned the mainnet deployment for later this year
