Aethir Launches Batch 6 of Ecosystem Fund, Supporting Real-World Asset Startups cover

Decentralized cloud computing platform Aethir has launched Batch 6 of its $100 million Ecosystem Fund, expanding its support to include real-world asset (RWA) startups alongside its existing focus on AI agents. This initiative, announced on April 23, aims to integrate promising RWA projects into Aethir’s decentralized cloud ecosystem by providing grants in the form of decentralized GPU cloud computing power. The fund has already supported over 25 AI-focused grantees, and the latest batch includes innovative projects such as Zoo Finance, Upside OS, and PinLink, which are set to enhance the intersection of traditional finance and digital markets.

The Ecosystem Fund operates by granting access to Aethir’s extensive global GPU network, which boasts over 425,000 GPU containers and high-performance chips like NVIDIA H200s and GB200s. This model eliminates the need for expensive centralized infrastructure, allowing early-stage teams to scale applications that rely heavily on AI and RWAs. Aethir’s aim with Batch 6 is to empower more founders to develop the next generation of applications that leverage decentralized computing, thereby fostering innovation in both the RWA and AI sectors.

The RWA sector is experiencing rapid growth, with on-chain assets already surpassing $20 billion and projections suggesting it could reach $500 billion by 2025, and potentially $30 trillion by 2030. This surge has given rise to new segments like “RWAfi,” which merges RWAs with decentralized finance. Aethir is collaborating with projects such as Plume and GAIB to explore these opportunities, supporting the tokenization of computing infrastructure through initiatives like the RWAI Initiative and its GPU Tokenization Pilot on the BNB Chain.

World Mobile Stratospheric: A New Era for 5G and the Challenge to Helium
In a groundbreaking partnership, World Mobile has teamed up with Indonesian telecom giant Protelindo to launch the World Mobile Stratospheric program, which aims to revolutionize telecommunications by deploying 5G services via hydrogen-powered drones. These drones will operate at altitudes of 60,000 feet, capable of covering an impressive 15,000 square kilometers with 450 targeted beams. Charles Barnett, Chief Business Officer of World Mobile Group, claims that their service can be delivered at a cost up to 18 times cheaper per gigabyte compared to satellites, with a minimal latency of just 6 milliseconds. This innovative approach could potentially challenge existing players in the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) space, particularly Helium. The market for sky-based communications is projected to reach $159 billion by 2030, and World Mobile is strategically positioning itself to capture a share of the current $98.3 billion sector. However, competition is fierce, with established players like Elon Musk's Starlink dominating the satellite internet market for remote areas. Unlike Starlink, which necessitates dedicated hardware for remote deployments, World Mobile's model is designed for densely populated mobile user areas, making it a potentially more viable option for urban environments. As World Mobile Stratospheric gears up for launch, the future of Helium appears uncertain. Helium has struggled to maintain its position in the DePIN landscape, with recent price movements indicating a stall in momentum. Analysts suggest that if Helium's price falls below critical support levels, it could face further challenges. With the emergence of innovative projects like World Mobile Stratospheric, the DePIN sector is poised for significant transformation, and all eyes will be on whether World Mobile can outperform its competitors in the upcoming quarters.

World Mobile Launches Hydrogen-Powered Drones for 5G Connectivity
World Mobile is making significant strides in the realm of connectivity with the launch of its hydrogen-powered drones, designed to deliver blockchain-enabled 5G services from the stratosphere. This innovative aerial network promises ultra-low latency and boasts a cost efficiency that is reportedly 18 times cheaper per gigabyte compared to traditional satellite-based services. The initiative primarily targets underserved regions, aiming to bridge the digital divide while facing competition from established platforms such as Helium Mobile and Starlink. The project, named "World Mobile Stratospheric," is a collaboration with Indonesian telecom giant Protelindo. These drones will operate at altitudes of 60,000 feet, well above typical weather systems, and utilize 450 steerable beams to provide coverage over expansive areas of up to 15,000 square kilometers per aircraft. According to Charles Barnett, Chief Business Officer of World Mobile Group, this high-altitude approach is crucial for reaching areas where traditional infrastructure fails to provide adequate connectivity. By leveraging blockchain technology, World Mobile aims to decentralize internet access, making it more accessible and affordable for users around the globe. The deployment of these drones not only represents a technological advancement but also a commitment to democratizing internet access, ensuring that even the most remote regions can benefit from modern communication technologies.

Emerging Leaders in Crypto: Cold Wallet, Aave, Litecoin, and Filecoin Shine in 2025
As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve in 2025, investors are increasingly focusing on projects that showcase meaningful innovation, real-world utility, and user adoption. Among the notable names gaining traction are Cold Wallet, Aave, Litecoin, and Filecoin, each offering distinct advantages in the current landscape. Cold Wallet, in particular, has made a significant impact in the early-stage crypto space, with its presale attracting over $5.8 million and a token price of $0.00998 at stage 17. The project features a unique cashback mechanism that rewards users on gas fees and transactions, promoting frequent usage and larger holdings without the constraints of staking or lock-ups. Aave, despite experiencing a 23% price decline from its July peak, continues to demonstrate resilience with nearly $50 billion in total value locked (TVL) and annual revenue exceeding $110 million. The implementation of a token buyback program has successfully removed over $18 million in AAVE supply, while the recent launch of the Umbrella Safety Module enhances its risk management capabilities. Analysts project Aave's price could range between $302 and $650 in the coming years, contingent on the success of its governance proposals and technological expansions. Litecoin has seen a resurgence, with an 11% price increase in just 24 hours, now trading around $123. Institutional interest is on the rise, highlighted by a $100 million investment and the addition of founder Charlie Lee to its board. Analysts anticipate a 90–95% chance of SEC approval for a Litecoin ETF in 2025, which could further boost its market presence. Meanwhile, Filecoin remains a key player in decentralized storage, with ongoing improvements in cross-chain compatibility and enterprise adoption. With a current price of around $2.38 and a projected target of $3.08 for 2025, Filecoin is well-positioned for growth in the evolving crypto ecosystem.
