Ethereum $5,000? Arthur Hayes Bets on Robinhood Effect

Ethereum to $5,000: Why Arthur Hayes Says Robinhood Just Changed the Game Co-produced by Daniel Aharonoff and DigitalDan As the chief editor of ethdan.me, I've seen my share of bold crypto predictions. Most of them fade by the next news cycle. But every once in a while, a call lands with enough weight behind it that you have to stop and pay attention. That's exactly what happened this weekend in Seoul. Arthur Hayes — the BitMEX co-founder and one of crypto's most closely watched macro minds — just put a number on Ethereum's future: $5,000 within roughly a year . And his reasoning has nothing to do with charts, memecoins, or hype cycles. It has everything to do with Robinhood. What's the big deal? Let me break it down, because this one actually matters. The Prediction Shaking Up Crypto Today Speaking on September 28 at EastPoint: Seoul 2026, Hayes — now chief investment officer at Maelstrom — argued that Ethereum could nearly double from its current price of ar...

Star Atlas Stress Test: Explore Immersive Environments in Solana-Based MMO

ATMTA, the company behind the highly anticipated Solana-based video game Star Atlas, is gearing up for a 1,000 player online stress test set to launch on private servers this Wednesday. The upcoming test aims to showcase the high-density, immersive environments of Star Atlas, marking the first demonstration of our MetaGravity integration, as stated by ATMTA co-founder and CEO Michael Wagner in an interview with Decrypt. Here are the key highlights surrounding this exciting event:

Stress Test Details:

  • Purpose: To showcase Star Atlas' immersive environments and MetaGravity integration.
  • Participants: Up to 1,000 real players in a single lobby on a single server instance.
  • Access: Players with access codes for the Epic Games Store early access version.
  • Additional Codes: Distributed to select individuals engaging with the official Star Atlas Twitter account.

In July, ATMTA formed a partnership with London-based online world developer MetaGravity to enhance Star Atlas' physics and server infrastructure. Star Atlas, an MMO space game revolving around Solana NFTs and tokens, envisions a lavish persistent world for players to explore. As the game's ambitious vision unfolds, the team has introduced smaller-scale experiences like SAGE Labs, a browser-based game that garnered significant Solana traffic following its launch last year.

Star Atlas, still in beta, captured attention at the 2023 Solana PlayGG event in San Diego, where ATMTA showcased the game's potential as an open-world gaming experience. In a recent Decrypt interview, Wagner contrasted MetaGravity's approach with that of Improbable, the startup behind the MSquared metaverse platform. Unlike Improbable's spatial partitioning approach, which identifies and references shared space objects, MetaGravity offers a distinct perspective on optimizing player experiences within the virtual realm.

As the gaming community eagerly anticipates this milestone stress test, the industry watches with interest as ATMTA pushes the boundaries of immersive gameplay within the evolving landscape of online gaming. Stay tuned for updates on Star Atlas and its groundbreaking developments in the realm of virtual worlds and gaming technology.
