A more expensive Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra? Yes please
Samsung's recent press release got me more excited about its forthcoming phones than I have been in a long time: we could see the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra appearing in a month or so, and it could bring to a close my 20-year odyssey for a good foldable device. The Ultra part of this moniker is what's getting me juiced up, as it would mean that Samsung is finally doing what it should have been years ago: making its Fold series the very best of all its tech. Recommended Videos Because while this phone clearly will be more expensive than any handset Samsung has ever made – potentially even cresting $2,500 – it's worth it if the Z Fold 7 Ultra frees the brand from the glacial evolution of its recent foldable devices. Waiting to unfold I'll admit, my use of foldable phones has been pretty limited, but only because they were so expensive. I know that sounds like I'm arguing against my point here, but the issue was that they were costly and, well, not very good. I used the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 for a while, and while I loved the larger screen (as anyone would), all I can remember is the heft of the thing in the pocket, the huge crease down the middle and the overall lack of sparkle that it offered. It was a true early adopter's device, and Samsung hasn't really shed that feeling with its phones since. I've been covering foldable devices since the early 2000s, when they were just rollable e-ink displays that promised to set the world alight – but never managing it. I gawped at LG's 'rollable paper' display at CES in 2016, as that's what we should be having now. A rollable tablet that can act as a futuristic newspaper – and yet we're still not living that future. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra could be one of the the first mainstream, useful foldable devices – it's been rumored that the Z Fold 7 will show off a a crease-less display ever since Samsung Display, the screen manufacturing arm of the South Korean tech giant, showed one at MWC this year. That would solve a big barrier for me not wanting to adopt this technology, and while I'd have to sell a kidney… or three… to afford it, I'd be open to that discussion. What might Ultra mean? A quick scoot around the forums shows that there's so much desire for an upgraded Galaxy Fold to emerge this year, and it's widely expected Samsung will need to do something pretty drastic to keep up with the competition. The brand is behind the curve in the foldable game, as the likes of Google, Honor and Oppo have surged ahead with thinner, more powerful and capable foldable devices. But Samsung has stayed firmly in the foldable limelight, thanks in part to the popularity of its Galaxy Z Flip series, so a move to make one of the most attractive foldable phones out there makes a lot of sense. A lot of the rumors around the Galaxy Z Fold 7 have promised a device that really evolves the design of Samsung's larger folding phone, and they make far more sense if they're given the 'Ultra' moniker. A phone that's under 9mm thick when folded is a must – under 1cm is fine for slipping into the pocket, but anything over that feels archaic in 2025. That seems to be the consensus for the new foldable from Samsung – along with an unfolded thickness of around 4mm – and that's got me excited. Combine that with the rumored titanium chassis – another recent hallmark of the Ultra range – and you can almost feel the premium device nestled in the hands. The crease-less display would really pull me onboard, especially with Samsung's OneUI 8 – I've not used that operating system extensively, but I see very good things about its evolution, especially as it'll be based on Android 16. The only other thing I really care about is the battery – there's no word that Samsung might be boosting things up from the 4400mAh we've seen on its previous Fold phones, which would be a shame. The fact that Samsung is finally going to give in and put larger screens on the new Fold 7 – rumored to be over 8 inches – means that there's more space to put a larger battery in. So the fact it's not set to happen suggests the brand could be thinking about putting the S Pen slot in. That would please a lot of fans who like to have it embedded, and that would tally with the Ultra name – the Galaxy S25 Ultra also has the slot for the stylus on the side. But for me, I still just can't care. Don't get me wrong, I love a stylus (I'm a die-hard fan of the ReMarkable tablet) but the feeling of stylus-on-smartphone-screen just feels wrong. Give me more battery power please, and let me decide whether I want to clip a small digital pen to the outside. Get ready for war Samsung creating a new 'super-premium' tier of smartphone doesn't seem to make sense on the outside. After all, we're in a world where the cost of living crisis still exists, and tariffs are making the potential price increases in smartphones more worrying than ever. But it's clear that the foldable market is really taking off – Statista predicts 70 million foldables will be shipped in 2027, a significant increase on the 18 million in 2024 – and we want to see the biggest brands pushing the envelope so a wider pool of users can get excited about the technology too. By having a two tier system, potential customers can get excited by the high end tech, but opt for a 'cheaper' version if the Z Fold 7 gets an Ultra sibling. And while we're still talking about phones costing thousands of dollars, Apple will surely enter the fray in the next 18 months with an iPhone Fold – and having a robust foldable ecosystem will be pivotal to its competitors. So I'm keeping a slot free in the calendar for early July, and I'll be hoping to see a more powerful foldable phone – sure, it'll be expensive, but if it's a smartphone that delivers on all the promise that rollable phones offer, I'll be sorely tempted.

Bitcoin Platform Mezo Debuts Mainnet to Build Circular BTC Economy
Blockchain venture studio Thesis, which is backed by Pantera Capital and Hack VC, has debuted its Bitcoin layer-2 network Mezo's mainnet. Mezo is built to be Bitcoin finance platform that enables its users to unlock practical utility in BTC and thus become their own bank, according to an emailed announcement shared with CoinDesk. The project debuted its testnet last year following a $21 million fundraising round led by Pantera. Users can use their BTC as collateral to mint and spend Mezo's native stablecoin MUSD, this creating a circular economy powered by BTC. An ongoing barrier to wider bitcoin adoption is the reticence users have to sell or spend it, which may be out of concern for losing value tied up in their holdings. This, amongst many other reasons, can explain why bitcoin has yet to fully prove itself as a form of money beyond being a store of value. "Holders haven't had many options to actually use their bitcoin without giving it up," CEO of Thesis, Matt Luongo, said. "With [Mezo}, I can park my BTC, access a credit line and live my life. This is what being your own bank was always meant to look like. It finally lets HODLers have their cake and eat it too." Mezo has teamed up with numerous crypto platforms that provide use cases such as e-commerce store Bitrefill, which offers gifts cards for MUSD, and BTC finance app Fold (FLD), which offers a cashback debit card and provides bitcoin rewards.

Crypto for Advisors: When Crypto Meets Netflix

Listen to amazing global thought leaders, sharing their insights on pertinent topics surrounding the digital asset space on day 1, day 2 and day 3. You can also read the extensive editorial coverage. In today's Crypto for Advisors, Shivani Phull from Pixelynx explains how Black Mirror is leveraging blockchain as part of evolving fan content and engagement. Then, Eric Tomaszewski from Verde Capital Management answers questions about the appeal of these products to next-gen investors in Ask an Expert.

Learn more. – Unknown block type "divider", specify a component for it in the ` option How Black Mirror's on-chain experiment is paving the way for the future of entertainment monetization. Traditional storytelling is hitting its ceiling. The passive, one-way consumption model that has defined entertainment for decades is increasingly out of sync with the expectations of digital-native audiences. And now, with the rise of new technologies, the entertainment intellectual property (IP) is entertainment intellectual property, or IP, is being fundamentally reimagined. Black Mirror has never been afraid to challenge the status quo. In 2018, the series broke new ground with Bandersnatch, an interactive episode. It hinted at a deeper shift: from stories we watch to stories we shape. That shift is accelerating. Members of Gen Z and Gen Alpha have been raised in worlds like Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite, where user-generated content forms the foundation of the experience. These audiences don't want to passively consume; they want to participate, shape and own the narrative. Traditionally, IP holders made money through licensing, syndication, product placement and box office sales. But generative AI is disrupting this model. With tools like OpenAI's Sora or Runway, anyone can spin up derivative content, posing both a threat and an opportunity. For IP owners, the challenge is clear: either lose control of the narrative or lean into new models that protect and expand it. Enter blockchain. Blockchain brings the missing layer of structure. It allows for: On-chain IP verification — using blockchain to prove who owns creative content, making it secure and transparent. Composable rights — content can be broken down into smaller parts that others can build on, remix or combine with new creations, allowing for microlicensing. Community ownership and participation rewards — fans can hold tokens that give them access to exclusive experiences and benefits as the project grows. Tokenized incentives for creators and fans — digital tokens are used to reward people for contributing, collaborating or being active in the community. This format unlocks new paths for storytelling, where fans are stakeholders shaping narratives with their favorite IPs, not just spectators. Banijay Rights, the global sales arm of content powerhouse Banijay Entertainment, which handles distribution for Black Mirror, has partnered with Pixelynx Inc. and KOR Protocol, a blockchain-based IP infrastructure and entertainment company based in Los Angeles, co-founded by iconic DJs Deadmau5 and Richie Hawtin. Led by visionary CEO Inder Phull, Pixelynx helped bring the Black Mirror universe on-chain in a way that's interactive, compliant and community-driven. Their latest initiative is a token inspired by the Nosedive episode, where fans link their socials and wallets to earn a reputation score. With more than 300,000 sign-ups, top participants unlock exclusive experiences and rewards, offering IP holders a new way to engage and reward their most passionate fans. The future of entertainment lies in embracing this shift through new frameworks that provide clear guardrails for IP usage, that preserve integrity, protect rights and enable value to accrue to fans and creators in a fair and transparent way. This marks the beginning of a new era for IP: one defined by protection, participation and sustainable monetization. By making IPs interactive, tokenized and on-chain, rights holders aren't just experimenting—they're sketching the blueprint for Storytelling 3.0. - Unknown block type "divider", specify a component for it in the ` option Q. What does "ownership" mean in the age of Web3, and how is it different from traditional investing? A. Ownership in Web3 is not just about holding an asset. More so, it's about participating in a system. With the Black Mirror token, owning the token means having a say in governance, gaining access to exclusive ecosystems, and building a digital form of identity that has the ability to grow in value over time. Unlike passive stock ownership, this is participatory. You are a stakeholder, not just a shareholder. Q. Can reputation-based tokens create economic value from behavior and is it sustainable? A. Yes, but it's nuanced. Black Mirror token gamifies trust because your on-chain actions and social interactions can earn tangible rewards. As a financial advisor, I'd caution that while this is exciting, it introduces performance-based risk. That being said, it reflects the direction of where young digitally native investors are heading. Q. Could these tokens act as a new form of "digital yield" for younger investors? A. Absolutely. Instead of fixed income yield, this is engagement yield. The more active and credible you are, the more awards you could potentially earn. It could be whitelisting access, platform discounts, or possibly token-based income. This is a new incentive model in some respects. When speaking to a client, I frame it as a form of behavioral finance in motion. With the right level of risk and time allocation, it becomes an asset that pays in influence and access. It's also a way to acknowledge that fulfillment and value look different to each person.
