🚀 Meta Drops $14B to Chase Superintelligence! Is This the AI Revolution or Big Tech Takeover?

Meta has just made a massive move in the race for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by investing $14.3 billion in Scale AI, grabbing a 49% stake in the company. Scale AI, known for labeling data used to train AI, now has a jaw-dropping $29 billion valuation. The deal also brings on board Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang, who will now lead Meta’s brand-new superintelligence lab. This marks Meta’s second-largest investment ever, right behind its WhatsApp buyout in 2014 💰💻.
This bold step shows how urgently Meta wants to catch up to rivals like OpenAI and Google in building next-gen AI models. But it’s not just about better algorithms — critics say the real battle is about who controls AI’s future. Meta’s centralization-heavy approach has sparked backlash, especially from decentralized AI advocates, who argue that innovation should benefit communities, not just tech giants. Meanwhile, decentralized platforms like Sovrun are fighting back with open-source solutions and community-led development 🌐⚖️.
Scale AI will continue to operate independently, helping Meta avoid further regulatory headaches as antitrust concerns grow. While Meta tightens its grip on cutting-edge AI resources, the open-source AI world is gaining momentum. Platforms like ReadyGamer, a project that brings AI characters into gaming, are aiming to shift the power from Big Tech to the people. As AI evolves, the real question isn’t just who wins the race, but who gets to write the rules 🧠🔥.

Bitcoin shocked the markets by soaring to an all-time high of $108,899, only to reverse sharply and fall back under the $100,000 mark within hours. The sudden reversal rattled investors and wiped out billions in market value in a matter of minutes. So, what triggered this steep drop? Let’s unpack the key events that caused Bitcoin’s dramatic pullback.
## 🚀 What Sent Bitcoin to a New High?
Bitcoin’s rapid climb was fueled by several bullish catalysts working in tandem:
* Increased buying activity from institutional giants like BlackRock and Fidelity
* Record-setting inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs
* Speculation around a potential U.S. interest rate cut and a weakening dollar
* Post-halving supply constraints tightening the market
These factors combined created an intense upward push. But such rapid gains can often lead to equally rapid corrections.
## ⚠️ What Caused the Sudden Reversal?
### 1. Profit-Taking by Large Holders
Major holders who entered positions in the $60,000–$70,000 range began locking in profits once Bitcoin passed $100,000. Data from blockchain analytics platforms showed over +$2.4 billion in BTC moving to exchanges in a short period. Wallets holding more than 1,000 BTC were actively reducing their exposure.
### 2. Derivatives Market Overheating
Open interest on crypto derivatives platforms like Binance and Bybit hit extreme levels. At the same time, funding rates were unusually high. This led to a cascade of liquidations — with over \$1.1 billion in long positions wiped out in a short span — amplifying the downward momentum.
### 3. “Sell the News” Behavior
News broke that a nation-state had officially adopted Bitcoin as legal tender. But instead of rallying, the market treated it as a signal to sell. This classic “sell the news” move shows how markets often price in good news ahead of time.
### 4. Government Wallet Activity
On-chain trackers identified movements of Bitcoin tied to U.S. government-seized assets — particularly coins associated with the Silk Road. This triggered fears of a potential sell-off by the government, adding fuel to the sell pressure.
### 5. Technical Indicators and Algo Activity
Bitcoin’s price touched a major Fibonacci extension level near \$108,900, which acted as a key technical resistance. At the same time, high-frequency trading algorithms began triggering automated sell orders. Indicators like the RSI (Relative Strength Index) also signaled overbought conditions, hinting that a pullback was likely
## 📊 Where Does Bitcoin Stand Now?
Bitcoin is currently trying to stabilize in the $97,000 to $99,500 zone.
Key support levels to watch:
* $95,000 (psychological threshold)
* $92,800 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement)
* $89,000 (long-term moving average)
Resistance zones:
* $102,000 (recent support now flipped to resistance)
* $105,000 and beyond
If support holds and market sentiment recovers, Bitcoin may attempt another push toward $110,000 later in Q3. However, a continued downtrend could take it toward the $88,000 to $90,000 range.
## 🗣️ Expert Opinions
“This correction was necessary. Rallies that move up too quickly tend to burn out. A cooldown allows for stronger price foundations,” said analyst Michael van de Poppe.
“Rather than signaling the end, this could be the beginning of a new phase where Bitcoin consolidates above \$90K and builds strength,” added Will Clemente.
## 🔍 Final Thoughts
The sudden fall from \$108,899 is a clear reminder that volatility remains part of the crypto journey — even in a bull market. Corrections like this can feel harsh, but they are often healthy.
Rather than panic, experienced traders see these moments as chances to rebalance, reposition, and prepare for the next leg up. The market may be shaken, but the long-term trend remains in play.

استثمرت شركة ميتا 14.8 مليار دولار في شركة «سكيل إيه آي» المتخصصة في تصنيف البيانات، في صفقة تمنحها حصة أقلية غير تصويتية بنسبة 49 في المئة، وترافقها خطوة مثيرة بانتقال الرئيس التنفيذي لسكيل، ألكسندر وانغ للعمل في ميتا.

وتعد هذه الصفقة ثاني أضخم استثمار في تاريخ الشركة، وتأتي في وقت يتزايد فيه القلق من محاولات شركات التكنولوجيا العملاقة التهرب من رقابة الهيئات التنظيمية من خلال ما يُعرف بالاستحواذات المقنّعة.
محاولة التفاف على الرقابة؟

رغم أن الصفقة لا تمنح «ميتا» حصة مسيطرة، وبالتالي لا تخضع مباشرة للمراجعة من قبل الجهات المعنية بمكافحة الاحتكار في الولايات المتحدة، فإن السلطات يمكن أن تفتح تحقيقاً إذا رأت أن الصفقة صُممت للتحايل على المتطلبات التنظيمية أو تهديد المنافسة.

وبحسب تقارير، فإن الصفقة جاءت بحذر لتفادي أي شبهات، مثل الحد من وصول المنافسين إلى خدمات «سكيل»، أو منح «ميتا» نظرة داخلية على أعمال منافسيها، وكشفت شركة «غوغل» أنها قررت قطع علاقتها مع «سكيل» بعد الإعلان عن صفقة «ميتا»، كما تدرس شركات أخرى خطوات مماثلة.

ردود فعل متفاوتة ومخاوف من الاحتكار

صرّح متحدّث باسم «سكيل إيه آي» أن أعمال الشركة، التي تشمل تعاوناً مع شركات كبرى وحكومات، لا تزال قوية، مشدداً على التزامها بحماية بيانات العملاء، ورفضت الشركة التعليق على موقف «غوغل».

وأكد مصدران مطلعان أن وانغ، الرئيس التنفيذي الشاب (28 عاماً)، سيبقى عضواً في مجلس إدارة «سكيل»، مع فرض قيود مناسبة على اطلاعه على المعلومات.

إدارة ترامب والمناخ التنظيمي للذكاء الاصطناعي

يرى مراقبون أن شركات التكنولوجيا الكبرى تعتبر أن البيئة التنظيمية في عهد الرئيس الأميركي دونالد ترامب أكثر مرونة، خصوصاً في ما يتعلق بالشراكات في مجال الذكاء الاصطناعي.

وقال ويليام كوفاتشيتش، مدير مركز قانون المنافسة في جامعة جورج واشنطن: «ترامب لا يريد تنظيم تطور الذكاء الاصطناعي، لكنه في الوقت ذاته يشك في هيمنة شركات التكنولوجيا الكبرى».

وأشار إلى أن هذا التوجه قد يدفع الإدارة لمراقبة مثل هذه الصفقات عن كثب دون التدخل المباشر في الوقت الراهن.
تحقيقات متعثرة في صفقات مماثلة

كانت لجنة التجارة الفيدرالية قد فتحت تحقيقات في صفقات استحواذ مشابهة خلال إدارة الرئيس السابق جو بايدن، من بينها صفقة «أمازون» مع شركة «أديبت» وشراء «مايكروسوفت» لأصول من شركة «إنفليكشن AI» مقابل 650 مليون دولار، إذ استحوذت الأخيرة على نماذج الشركة وموظفيها الرئيسيين.

لكن هذه التحقيقات لم تُفضِ إلى إجراءات فعلية حتى الآن، إذ أُغلقت صفقة «أمازون» دون تدخل، ولا تزال لجنة التجارة تدرس وضع «مايكروسوفت» بعد أكثر من عام على فتح التحقيق.

Senators Warren and Blumenthal question Meta’s stablecoin plans.
GENIUS Act advances in Senate with 68-30 vote for debate.Meta’s past Libra/Diem projects faced global regulatory backlash.Concerns raised over Meta’s potential influence on GENIUS Act. Stablecoin market grows 90% to $249.3 billion in 2025. 
Senators Demand Clarity on Meta’s Stablecoin Strategy
U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on June 11, 2025, seeking details about the company’s potential stablecoin plans. The inquiry coincides with the Senate’s debate over the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, a bill aimed at regulating digital currencies pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar.
The senators expressed alarm over Meta’s history with stablecoin projects, citing the failed Libra and Diem initiatives, which collapsed in 2022 due to global regulatory pushback. They warned that Meta’s renewed interest in digital currencies could threaten consumer privacy and market competition if not tightly regulated.
Lawmakers asked whether Meta influenced the GENIUS Act’s drafting and if it plans to issue its own stablecoin or partner with existing providers. They also questioned whether Meta would support amendments barring Big Tech from controlling stablecoin issuers.
GENIUS Act Sparks Heated Senate Debate
The GENIUS Act advanced in the Senate with a 68-30 vote on June 11, 2025, clearing a procedural hurdle to allow further debate and amendments. The legislation seeks to establish a federal framework for stablecoin issuers, requiring full backing by U.S. assets and licensing by regulators.
Critics, including Warren, argue the bill could enable tech giants like Meta to dominate digital finance. “A Meta-controlled stablecoin could deepen surveillance of consumer transactions,” the senators wrote, highlighting risks to financial privacy.
Supporters, led by Senate Majority Leader John Thune, claim the bill will bolster U.S. economic dominance by mainstreaming digital currencies. Thune emphasized that the legislation could position the U.S. as the “crypto capital of the world.”
Concerns also arose over potential exemptions for Meta under the GENIUS Act. The senators cautioned that President Donald Trump, whose family launched the World Liberty Financial stablecoin platform, might issue a waiver allowing Meta to bypass regulations. Such a move, they argued, could undermine oversight and favor corporate interests.
The bill’s progress follows a stalled attempt in May, when Democrats raised objections over insufficient safeguards against illicit finance and conflicts of interest tied to Trump’s crypto ventures. Recent bipartisan negotiations incorporated Democratic amendments, paving the way for the June vote.
Meta’s Past and Present Crypto Ventures
Meta’s earlier foray into stablecoins through Libra and Diem faced fierce opposition from regulators worldwide. The projects aimed to create a global digital currency but were abandoned after concerns over money laundering, financial stability, and data privacy.
Recent reports suggest Meta is exploring stablecoin payments across its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. The company has not confirmed these plans, and a Meta spokesperson declined to comment on the senators’ letter. In May, Meta’s communications director, Andy Stone, stated on X that no stablecoin was in development.
The senators’ inquiry also touched on Meta’s lobbying activities. They demanded transparency on whether Meta advocated for provisions in the GENIUS Act or engaged with lawmakers to shape crypto policy.
Broader Implications for Stablecoin Regulation
The GENIUS Act debate underscores tensions over Big Tech’s role in finance. Republican Senator Josh Hawley has opposed the bill, arguing it grants tech firms excessive power to issue digital currencies that could rival the dollar. Democrats are pushing an amendment to prohibit Big Tech from creating stablecoins, aiming to curb monopolistic risks.
Stablecoins, designed to maintain a stable value, have surged in popularity, with a market cap of $249.3 billion as of June 2025, up 90% since January 2024. Major players like Tether and Circle dominate, but corporate interest from firms like Apple and Google is growing.
The Senate’s next steps include reviewing over 120 proposed amendments, some addressing unrelated issues like credit card fees. A final vote is expected soon, with the bill potentially moving to the House for further consideration.

🚨 From Meta to Sui — And Now Back Again? The Full Circle That Could Change Everything

What if I told you that Sui, the high-speed Layer 1 blockchain everyone’s watching, wasn’t just another altcoin — but a product of former Meta (Facebook) developers who helped build the Diem blockchain and Move programming language?

Now, imagine this:

💡 Those same devs break off, build Sui with next-gen speed and scalability...

📈 Sui gains traction, strong backing, and ecosystem growth...

🔁 And now the circle completes — because rumors and signs point to a potential Meta-Sui partnership in the works.

🧬 Why This Is Huge:

Sui was built by Mysten Labs, founded by ex-Meta engineers who worked on Diem (Meta’s abandoned crypto project)

Sui uses the Move programming language originally created at Meta — it’s designed for speed, safety, and parallel execution

Meta has re-entered the digital asset space via initiatives like Threads, Meta AI, and immersive commerce

Sui is one of the few blockchains engineered from scratch to meet the demands of global tech platforms like Meta

🚀 What a Meta-Sui Partnership Could Unlock:

Massive user onboarding from Meta’s billions of users

Cross-platform integration with Threads, Instagram, Facebook Marketplace, and even Quest (VR)

In-app micropayments or asset ownership through Sui-based NFTs and tokens

Huge institutional confidence due to the shared engineering DNA

📊 The Setup for a Surge

With altcoin season heating up, a Meta-Sui partnership or even whisper of collaboration could send Sui from a top 100 coin into top 20 territory fast. A parabolic surge like this would be fundamentally justified — not just hype-driven.

🧠 Final Thought

Sui didn’t just come from Meta.

It was built for Meta-level scale — and now the tech world may be watching as it finds its way home.
Stay sharp. This could be the most overlooked full-circle play in this cycle.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal demand Mark Zuckerberg provide comprehensive stablecoin disclosure within five-day June 17 deadline amid secret crypto talks with Circle and Tether while warning of monopolistic threats to US economy.
Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal launched a direct challenge against Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg, sending a formal letter on Wednesday demanding comprehensive disclosure about the tech company’s revived interest in stablecoin payment systems.
The timing of this congressional inquiry proves particularly significant, as the Senate prepares to vote on upcoming stablecoin regulation legislation.
The lawmakers argue that, given Meta’s enormous market influence, it has become imperative for both Congress and the American public to gain complete transparency regarding the company’s cryptocurrency ambitions.
Why Warren Calls Meta’s Stablecoin a ‘Monopolistic Threat’ to the US Economy
In their June 12 correspondence, the senators articulated their concerns about the broader implications of technology giants entering the digital currency space.
“Big Tech companies’ issuing or controlling their own private currencies, like a stablecoin, would threaten competition across the economy, erode financial privacy, and cede control of the U.S. money supply to monopolistic platforms that have a history of abusing their power,” the senators wrote.

Zuckerberg has been given a five-day deadline until June 17 to provide detailed responses to eight specific inquiries about Meta’s stablecoin strategy.
These questions encompass which external companies Meta has engaged for consultation and whether the corporation is actively considering developing its own stablecoin.
The senators are also seeking information about Meta’s lobbying activities regarding cryptocurrency legislation and the company’s stance on potential amendments that would prevent “Big Tech” firms from controlling stablecoin issuers.

Warren and Blumenthal referenced Meta’s previous ventures into digital currency through the Libra and Diem projects, which debuted in 2019.
These initiatives ultimately failed due to overwhelming regulatory pressure and opposition from both political parties, leading to the sale of all related assets by 2022.
Will the GENIUS Act Hand Stablecoin Control to Big Tech? Senate Vote Sparks Fury
The letter also highlights concerns about potential regulatory exceptions that could benefit Meta.
The senators worry about President Donald Trump potentially granting the company a waiver under the GENIUS Act, which could allow Meta to circumvent regulations other stablecoin issuers must follow.

The lawmakers warned about privacy implications if Meta were to control its stablecoin infrastructure.
“If Meta controlled its own stablecoin, the company could further pry into consumers’ transactions and commercial activity,” the senators wrote.
“The massive amounts of consumer data it would ingest could help Meta fuel surveillance pricing schemes on its platform, more intrusive targeted advertising, or otherwise help the company monetize sensitive private information through sales to third party data brokers.”
This congressional investigation stems from a May 8 report revealing that Meta has been discussing incorporating stablecoins into its platform ecosystem with various cryptocurrency companies, including Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
At the time of initial reporting, it remained uncertain whether Meta intended to partner with established stablecoin providers like Tether or Circle or planned to develop its own proprietary solution.
Meta Says ‘No Stablecoin’ — But Senators Found Evidence of Secret Crypto Talks
Meta communications director Andy Stone responded to the May reports by confirming that the Diem project had been permanently discontinued, stating that Diem is “dead” and that there was “no Meta stablecoin.”

However, subsequent reporting by Fortune suggested that Meta was actively negotiating with multiple cryptocurrency firms regarding stablecoin payment integration.
Drawing from available information, Meta’s primary interest lies in the practical advantages of stablecoins over traditional fiat currencies, particularly regarding cost-effective international transfers and cross-border payments.
Circle’s Senior Director of Business Development Matt Cavin, who previously held an executive position at Web3 gaming company Immutable until March, is reportedly spearheading the discussions.

Additionally, Ginger Baker, whom Meta recruited as Vice President of Product in January, is said to be contributing to the stablecoin initiative.
Baker brings significant cryptocurrency expertise, having served on the board of the Stellar Development Foundation and previously working as a senior director of products at Ripple.

Meta Platforms, технологічний гігант, що стоїть за Facebook та Instagram, активно веде переговори про масштабну інвестицію в стартап Scale AI, який спеціалізується на маркуванні даних для штучного інтелекту. За інформацією Bloomberg, сума угоди може перевищити $10 млрд, що зробить її однією з найбільших приватних інвестицій в історії. Scale AI, оцінений у $14 млрд у 2024 році, співпрацює з такими лідерами, як Microsoft та OpenAI, надаючи послуги для тренування моделей машинного навчання.
Цей крок є частиною стратегії Meta, яка спрямована на посилення позицій у сфері ШІ. У січні 2025 року Марк Цукерберг оголосив про плани інвестувати до $65 млрд у ШІ-проекти, включаючи розширення інфраструктури. Scale AI, заснована у 2016 році Олександром Вангом, демонструє стрімке зростання: у 2024 році дохід компанії склав $870 млн, а у 2025 році прогнозується зростання до $2 млрд.
Ця угода може зміцнити позиції Meta в конкурентній боротьбі за лідерство в ШІ-технологіях. Умови ще не остаточні, але інвестиція підкреслює амбіції компанії у створенні інноваційних рішень. Слідкуйте за новинами у сфері технологій та ШІ, підписавшись на #MiningUpdates

Meta может вложить свыше $10 млрд в Scale AI.Сделка станет крупнейшей внешней инвестицией Meta в ИИ.Scale уже сотрудничает с Meta по военным проектам.
Корпорация Meta ведет переговоры о масштабной инвестиции в стартап Scale AI, сумма которой может превысить $10 млрд. Если соглашение состоится, оно войдет в число крупнейших частных раундов финансирования в истории.
По мнению представителей компании, этот шаг может стать поворотным моментом для стратегии Meta в сфере искусственного интеллекта.
Хотя условия сделки еще обсуждаются, это будет редким шагом от компании, которая ранее делала ставку на внутренние разработки, отметили журналисты. Конкуренты вроде Microsoft и Amazon уже вложили миллиарды долларов в OpenAI и Anthropic. Речь идет, в том числе, о предоставлении вычислительных ресурсов ИИ-компании, чего у Meta нет из-за отсутствия облачного бизнеса.
Scale AI специализируется на подготовке данных для обучения ИИ и уже работает с Meta и Минобороны США. Стартап ранее оценивался в $14 млрд, но новая оценка может достичь $25 млрд. Его выручка в 2024 году составила $870 млн, а к концу 2025 года прогнозируется удвоение продаж.
Уже сейчас Scale сотрудничает с Meta в оборонной сфере, в частности в рамках Defense Llama — адаптированной версии языковой модели Llama, используемой военными США. Meta также заключила партнерство с Anduril для разработки шлемов с ИИ-функциями дополненной реальности.
С учетом того, что гендиректор Марк Цукерберг планирует потратить до $65 млрд на ИИ в 2025 году, возможная сделка с Scale станет логичным продолжением курса Meta на доминирование в ИИ-экосистеме. По мнению, аналитиков, корпорация пытается опередить конкурентов, которые достигли значительного прогресса в секторе.
