Bitcoin Soars Past $47K, Outstrips Meta in Market Cap Amid ETF Speculation and Intense Trading
Bitcoin breached the K threshold on Monday, fueled by growing excitement over the potential launch of a U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). The leading crypto asset kicked off the day at ,247 per unit, then climbed to a peak of ,281 by 2:10 p.m. Eastern Time (ET).
Bitcoin Rally Tops K
Monday afternoon witnessed a notable surge in the market cap’s leading crypto asset, occurring around 2 p.m. ET. Bitcoin (BTC) experienced an increase exceeding ,600 from its daily low, with many analysts linking this upswing to the potential approval of several spot bitcoin ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The latest market figures indicate that bitcoin’s previous encounter with this price bracket was in December 2021, following its descent from the record high of K.
The market valuation of the digital currency soared, reaching precisely 7 billion, eclipsing Meta (formerly Facebook) in market size and securing its position as the ninth-largest asset by market valuation. The trading volume for BTC has intensified, contributing .17 billion to the day’s total 4 billion in trades. Current statistics reveal that, at 3:10 p.m. ET, BTC’s market value of ,922 is just over 32% below its all-time high of K, achieved on Nov. 10, 2021.
This uptick in price has resulted in the elimination of numerous short trading positions. Coinglass’s four-hour data indicates that .62 million in BTC shorts were liquidated, with approximately .75 million occurring following the surge past K. This increase in bitcoin’s price has also buoyed other cryptocurrencies, elevating the entire crypto market economy to a value of .80 trillion. Bitcoin dominates this figure with a 50.8% market share, while ethereum (ETH) holds a 15.6% stake in the combined market.

Meta AI Assistant Launches to Compete With Chatbots Like Chatgpt
Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, launched its own chatbot based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Meta AI provides an alternative to products like Openai’s Chatgpt and is setting out to offer interaction tailored to attend to different interests and solve specific tasks.
Zuckerberg Unveils Meta AI Chatbot, AI Personas at Meta Connect Event
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of the U.S. tech giant’s new AI-powered assistant in a keynote speech at the Meta Connect developers conference on Wednesday. The chatbot will compete against the already established player in the space, Chatgpt, and other offerings like Google’s upcoming Gemini.
It became clear from Zuckerberg’s presentation that Meta’s approach to the development of AI differs from the rest of the industry in that the company does not believe in a “singular superintelligence” for everyone. In its view, most people would rather have a number of AIs for different purposes or even make their own. He elaborated:
We are building a platform for creating AIs that can help you get things done or just have fun. People will be able to interact with these AIs across the whole Meta universe of products.
Meta aims to enable users to chat in its messaging services like Whatsapp and Messenger with the AIs that will also have profiles on Instagram and Facebook to offer even richer interaction. While the platform will be opened up for developers to create more AIs in the future, Zuckerberg revealed that Meta has already built a bunch and it’s starting to roll them out in beta.
A media report in early August unveiled that the firm was preparing to launch multiple AI-powered chatbots dubbed “personas.” Zuckerberg now demonstrated some of them, starting with Meta AI which he described as the “basic assistant.” Built on the in-house large language model Llama 2, it can also tap into real-time, broader information thanks to a partnership with Microsoft and Bing Search.
Users will be able to invoke the Meta AI assistant in any chat, including group chats. Besides answering questions and responding to various requests in text, Meta AI will also be able to generate images using Meta’s new image generation model called Emu that has been built in the chatbot.
The other “a bit more fun” AIs that Meta has been training are focused on more specific areas such as cooking, traveling, or editing, for example. The chatbot personas are played by real-life celebrities like rapper and producer Snoop Dogg (Dungeon Master), legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady (Bru), MMA champion Israel Adesanya (Luiz), and Paris Hilton (Amber).
Meta AI has been made available to a limited group of Facebook Messenger, Instagram Direct, and Whatsapp users in the United States, starting from Sept. 27, and will be integrated into Meta’s smart glasses and Quest 3 visual reality headset next month.
Meanwhile, also on Wednesday, the Microsoft-funded AI research lab Openai announced that its Chatgpt has been enabled to browse the internet and provide users with current information. Previously the chatbot was limited in its answers to data available before September 2021. Among other recent developments in the increasingly competitive sector, Amazon revealed this week it will invest up to billion in Anthropic, the AI firm behind the generative AI assistant Claude.

Facebook Owner Meta May Launch Chatbot ‘Personas’ Next Month, Report
U.S. tech giant Meta is preparing to launch multiple chatbots powered by artificial intelligence (AI) as early as September. According to an article quoting knowledgeable sources, the company seeks to encourage user engagement on its social media platforms with the chatbots that could also be used to collect more user data.
Meta Seeks to Seize on Chatbot Hype, Challenge Competitors With ‘AI Agents’
Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, is gearing up to present in the next few weeks a number of AI-based chatbots designed to exhibit different personalities, the Financial Times wrote this week, quoting people familiar with the tech conglomerate’s plans.
The company has been designing prototypes that can take the form of different characters and have discussions with the 4 billion users of its social media platforms, according to the sources, who also revealed that the chatbots have been dubbed “personas.”
For example, Meta explored creating one that emulates Abraham Lincoln and another that advises on travel options in the style of a surfer. The chatbots, which will support a new search function and offer recommendations, could launch as soon as September, according to one of the quoted individuals.
FT noted that the move comes as the company seeks to attract and retain users in the face of a stiff competition from platforms like Tiktok. Apparently, Meta also tries to seize upon the hype around AI that spread since the launch of Openai’s Chatgpt in November, 2022.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during an earnings call last Wednesday that he envisaged AI “agents that act as assistants, coaches or that can help you interact with businesses and creators.” He believes they can help companies with customer service or to increase staff productivity. He stated:
We don’t think that there’s going to be one single AI that people interact with.
“Zuckerberg is spending all his energy and time on ideating about this,” one of the persons that spoke with the Financial Times unveiled. He also said that in the longer term developing an avatar chatbot in the metaverse would be explored.
Others in this space have already launched chatbots that feature personalities. Andreessen Horowitz-backed start-up Character.ai, for instance, uses AI technology to generate conversations in the style of Elon Musk or Nintendo character Mario.
Besides boosting engagement, Meta’s chatbots could be employed to collect more data on users’ interests, the article points out. And with most of the company’s 7 billion in revenues coming from advertising, they can help it to better target users with more relevant content and advertising. That, however, raises privacy concerns, the authors note.
