Grayscale has released a crypto asset valuation analysis, publishing two top-10 lists: token holder yield and adjusted earnings yield. The token holder yield top 10 are, in order: HYPE, LIT, CAKE, AERO, UNI, RAY, PENDLE, AAVE, JUP, CRV. The adjusted earnings yield top 10 are, in order: CAKE, LIT, HYPE, RAY, AAVE, JUP, SKY, UNI, AERO, PENDLE. Grayscale noted that many crypto assets can be valued based on cash flow. Token holder yield is calculated as the sum of staking rewards and buyback amounts minus the value of new token issuance, relative to circulating market capitalization. Adjusted earnings yield is the ratio of protocol earnings to circulating market capitalization, minus the circulating supply inflation rate, used to measure a protocol's profitability after deducting token dilution.

Beating AI Express News: AI programming tool Amp has launched self-hosting for Orbs. Orbs is a development environment enabling AI Agents to work independently, originally running primarily on Amp’s cloud. Users can now deploy it to their own Macs, Docker containers, or Kubernetes clusters, with support for sandbox platforms including E2B, Modal, and Vercel. Amp handles scheduling, while users’ own machines execute tasks, and environments can be created, paused, and resumed on demand. Individuals and general teams can use self-hosted Orbs for free, though they must cover their own compute and model costs. Starting October 29, the enterprise version requires users to provide their own servers and pay per the same compute standards as Amp’s official hosted Orbs.
