SpaceX Strikes Cursor Deal, Securing $60B Buy Option
SpaceX secured an option to buy Cursor for $60B, with an alternative $10B partnership structure if the acquisition does not go through. The deal gives Cursor access to xAI’s Colossus supercomputer, helping remove a key compute bottleneck while deepening the link between Cursor’s coding product and xAI’s infrastructure.
The move also comes as SpaceX pushes further into AI tooling ahead of a potential IPO and as Cursor remains one of the fastest-growing companies in the AI developer stack.

The deal gives Cursor access to xAI’s Colossus supercomputer, helping remove a key compute bottleneck while deepening the link between Cursor’s coding product and xAI’s infrastructure.
The structure creates a powerful vertical AI play: Cursor brings a code editor and strong developer distribution, while SpaceX & xAI bring compute, capital & internal demand for coding agents.

OpenAI Introduces Workspace Agents in ChatGPT
OpenAI has launched workspace agents, an evolution of GPTs designed to help organizations automate complex, multi-step workflows. Built on Codex, these agents can handle tasks such as reporting, coding, lead outreach, and internal support processes, all while operating in the cloud.
Unlike traditional assistants, workspace agents are designed for team environments. They can access connected tools, follow structured workflows, request approvals when needed, and continue running tasks even when users are offline. Teams can also share and improve agents across ChatGPT and Slack.
Available in research preview for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans, OpenAI positions workspace agents as a step toward fully integrated enterprise AI workflows, with expanded automation and governance features planned next.

Edel Finance Unveils Community Airdrop Details Ahead of Canton Expansion
Tokenized stock platform Edel Finance has outlined its EDEL airdrop, allocating 3% of total supply to community rewards. 0.5% has already gone to BankrBot users, while 1% is for testnet participants and 1.5% for users of the upcoming Canton product.
Eligibility follows a pro-rata point system, redistributing disqualified allocations to real users. Only validated activity across lending, borrowing, spins, and referrals counted, while batch wallets, shared funding, and scripted loops were reduced or removed.
The airdrop will launch with Edel’s Canton Network rollout, once LayerZero cross-chain infrastructure is live. Users will connect Base wallets to Canton via a dApp, with added CC rewards and boosted EDEL earnings as the ecosystem expands.

ARK Invest has taken the lead in Lucra’s $20 million Series B funding. Lucra builds a platform that turns loyalty programs into competitive, game-like experiences for brands including Five Iron Golf, Chess Kings, and Dave & Buster’s.
The move is notable because ARK’s venture vehicle is structured as an SEC-regulated interval fund rather than a traditional VC fund, allowing broader participation but limited liquidity windows. ARK had already invested in Lucra earlier and helped build conviction for a larger bet.

Flying Tulip (FT) introduces Lending Circuit Breakers
The mechanism works as a rate limiter on capital leaving. Deposits and withdrawals work normally, but unusually large outflows begin to queue once they cross predefined threshold. That threshold is set as a % of TVL, so the protection scales with the size of protocol.
The framework gained relevance after the Kelp DAO exploit on April 18, when stolen rsETH was posted as collateral on Aave to borrow out WETH before emergency actions could contain the damage.

Tether Freezes Over $344M in USDT With U.S. Authorities
Once the flagged addresses were identified, Tether froze the funds before they could be transferred further. The action effectively locked the USDT in place, cutting off the ability to move assets while investigators continue to examine the activity tied to those wallets.

Microsoft-Backed Dreamspace Launches AI App Builder for Base
Dreamspace has rolled out its AI-powered app builder for Coinbase’s Base L2, allowing users to create fully functional apps using simple text prompts. The platform generates working products with integrated smart contracts, no coding required.
Dreamspace has already gained traction, with over 34,000 apps built during beta. It aims to lower the barrier to entry for non-technical users entering on-chain development.
As competition grows from tools like Coinbase’s AgentKit and AI platforms such as Claude or Venice AI, Dreamspace is positioning itself as a simple, full-stack solution for building apps across the Base ecosystem.

MegaETH Hits Key Milestone With Brix Launch, Triggering TGE Countdown
MegaETH has hit its second KPI milestone, driven by the Brix public launch and key ecosystem progress. KPI-2 requires 10 “MegaMafia” apps with real usage, including verified contracts, live frontends, and 100K+ transactions across 25K+ wallets.
The Brix launch plays a key role in this progress, bringing real-world asset tokenization (starting with Turkish lira yield products) into the ecosystem and expanding MegaETH’s “real-time finance” thesis.
Focus now shifts to the TGE rollout and early token utility, including buybacks powered by USDM yield and onchain demand. Further KPIs—like $500M USDM supply and sustained app activity—will unlock additional tokens post-launch.
