OpenAI will begin using its first custom AI chip, “Jalapeño,” built by Broadcom. The chip is intended to handle the compute-heavy work of running AI models.

Qualcomm is reported to be in talks with ByteDance to design customized chips for the TikTok parent. The discussions underscore a widening push by tech groups to develop AI silicon outside Nvidia’s orbit. A successful deal would build on a relationship that has already produced results, after Qualcomm agreed in May to supply ByteDance with millions of ASICs for AI data center use, according to Reuters.

SKYAI is consolidating after a mid-June rally, with price holding near $0.37-$0.39 as volume fades. Open interest has fallen about 30.4% from its June 17 peak of approximately $173 million to around $120 million. Traders are watching liquidity around $0.4792 on the upside and $0.3285-$0.3286 on the downside, with resistance clustered near $0.398-$0.41.

AI agents can’t open bank accounts, but they can hold crypto wallets and use stablecoins to pay one another. The x402 protocol turns the web’s “payment required” response into a machine-readable paywall. This makes it possible for software to purchase data, APIs, or services directly from other software without using cards or banks.

Coinbase began trading in ANTHROPIC-PERP and OPENAI-PERP pre-IPO perpetual futures on June 22. The USDC-settled contracts track each company’s private valuation rather than shares and do not confer equity, voting rights, or dividends. They are available only to eligible non‑US users, with US persons barred from trading them.

Unibase (UB) skyrockets 54.89% on June 21, 2026, signaling a massive technical reversal as speculative inflows return to the protocol's autonomous agent framework.

Accenture’s historic 18% share price collapse highlights intense market anxiety over generative AI cannibalizing traditional billable consulting hours and driving a major revenue guidance markdown. However, with a rock-solid free cash flow projection up to $11.5 billion and a strategic $4.17 billion pivot into high-margin operational technology cybersecurity, long-term investors are evaluating whether ACN now represents an aggressive deep-value opportunity.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is pressing ahead with the idea of putting AI data centers into orbit, arguing it could become more practical as launch costs fall and terrestrial buildouts face growing local pushback. The company’s IPO raised $85.7 billion and valued the newly public SpaceX in the trillions, giving it new capital to link rockets, Starlink satellites and xAI’s computing needs. Still, investors and economists say the economics remain uncertain even as other players, including Jeff Bezos and Google, pursue similar concepts.
