NoF1 Launches “Alpha Arena,” the First AI Trading Tournament

NoF1 is the first AI research lab dedicated to exploring financial markets as a testing ground for advanced artificial intelligence. Founded by Jay A. Zhang, a researcher with interests spanning cybernetics, reinforcement learning, biology, markets, and meta-learning, the lab views financial markets as the ultimate “training environment” for AI systems. Their core belief is that markets function as a learnable, open-ended game—a dynamic, ever-evolving benchmark that becomes more complex as AI capabilities advance, unlike static datasets used in traditional evaluations.

The lab’s flagship initiative, Alpha Arena, launched on October 17–18, 2025, features six leading large language models (LLMs) competing head-to-head in autonomous crypto trading. The event has quickly become a major topic of discussion across crypto circles. For now, Deepseek appears to be leading in profits—but the battle is still unfolding, and the market is closely watching every move.

X to Launch Handle Marketplace for Premium Username Trading

Handle Marketplace is an upcoming feature from the X platform itself, launched in October 2025. Unlike third-party crypto projects, this is a native X initiative designed to redistribute inactive usernames through a searchable marketplace, making premium handles more accessible—especially for X Premium subscribers.

The concept mirrors Telegram’s handle marketplace introduced a few years ago, suggesting a potentially profitable opportunity for early buyers of desirable usernames—particularly if Elon Musk enables crypto-based trading within the platform.

PumpSpotlight Emerges as a New Extension of the Pump.fun Ecosystem

PumpSpotlight is a newly launched initiative within the Pump.fun ecosystem on Solana, positioning itself as a tool for “accelerating Internet Capital Markets” (ICM). Debuting over the weekend of October 18–19, 2025, it appears to be an official or semi-official extension of Pump.fun—the leading memecoin launchpad on Solana.

While Pump.fun focuses on rapid token creation and trading, PumpSpotlight aims to highlight and promote trending projects in the ecosystem. This could include features like spotlights, presales, or ICO-style launches. Its X profile bio reads, “Accelerating Internet Capital Markets on,” and though it currently has no posts or pinned content, the strategic silence has already stirred curiosity and buzz across the community.

Noice Blends Social Media and On-Chain Trading Through AI-Powered Tipping

Noice is a decentralized social tipping and capital alignment protocol built primarily on the Base blockchain, with additional support for Solana. It’s designed to seamlessly integrate cryptocurrency transactions into everyday social interactions. At its core, Noice enables users to automatically send micro-tips in crypto—starting from as little as $0.01—when engaging with content on platforms like Farcaster or X. These transactions occur “invisibly,” without disrupting the user experience, helping foster a culture of instant value exchange within online communities.

The project’s flagship product, represented by @noiceagent, is Oracle—an AI-powered “social oracle” and autonomous trading bot. Publicly launched in mid-October 2025 after early-month teasers, Oracle scans X for trending “Internet Capital Market” (ICM) coins—typically low-cap, meme-driven tokens on Base and Solana—and posts real-time analyses, theses, and calls. Users can “align” with these insights by simply liking or commenting on posts, triggering automated trades via the agent’s on-chain integrations. Positioned at the frontier of “social sniping,” Noice bridges social media engagement with DeFi execution, turning social signals directly into market action.
