Venice Token (VVV)

The United States demanded that Anthropic block foreign users from accessing its latest models, forcing Anthropic to suspend Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users.

In case you are not aware, Anthropic is a U.S. artificial intelligence company best known for its AI Claude. Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are two versions of Anthropic’s top‑tier Mythos model series.

The U.S. government ordered a complete halt to any foreign citizen’s access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the United States, including Anthropic’s foreign staff.

Almost immediately, tokens of decentralized AI projects such as @AskVenice surged. Venice founder Erik Voorhees and the Morpheus community quickly regarded Anthropic’s service pause as concrete proof of the benefits of uncensored, decentralized AI infrastructure.

The incident also sparked a price‑rise wave for other decentralized AI tokens like $TAO (Bittensor) and RENDER, as investors see it as evidence of the risk inherent in concentrating advanced AI technology control in a single company and a few regulators.

This week’s $VVV fud is wack. Sidelined capital and underwater shorts: funding has been oddly negative for a while.

Longed on top of my spot holdings.

This is the only chart that matters, and it’s litterally uponly. https://t.co/THHG1BYt71

so looks like a bunch of folk were shorting $VVV and trying to FUD (negative funding rates means shorts >>> longs -- picture 1, 10 mins ago) while the company keeps growing in multiples, adding new models, building new features and continues to grow

looks like they just closed their short position ($2.2M+ liquidated if it hit $16.66, picture 2) causing token to jump, the artificial downward pressure should be gone now
