Meta Just Built Glasses That Read Your Mind

Meta didn't just upgrade smart glasses - they created the first wearable that responds to intention before you even move.

The Ray-Ban Display glasses pair with a Neural Band that detects electrical muscle signals, enabling messaging and navigation through subtle finger movements. The band learns your unique patterns, making interface control nearly imperceptible.

This solves smart glasses' biggest problem: awkward voice commands in public. Instead of talking to your face computer like a lunatic, you control it with thoughts translated through muscle signals.

The Gen 2 doubles battery life to 8 hours while adding 3K Ultra HD recording and conversation focus for noisy environments. The athlete-focused Oakley Meta Vanguard pushes 9-hour battery with water resistance and Garmin connectivity.

The breakthrough moment: When wearables respond to intention before visible movement, we cross into genuine mind-machine interfaces. This isn't sci-fi anymore - it's shipping hardware.

Meta cracked the code on making smart glasses people actually want to wear with controls that work seamlessly. Every other AR company just became obsolete overnight.

The future where devices anticipate your needs isn't coming. It's here.

TODAY IN CRYPTO

Fed Cuts Into Bitcoin's Perfect Storm

The Fed delivered the expected 25bps cut to 4.0%-4.25%, and Bitcoin barely flinched at $116K. But beneath the surface, the liquidity rotation is setting up perfectly.

Powell's dovish dots signal another 50bps of easing still on the table, while Trump hammers for bigger cuts. The political pressure is building for accelerated easing cycles.

Here's the brutal math: $7.5T sits parked in money market funds about to lose yield as rates fall. That capital needs somewhere to go, and risk assets are the obvious destination.

21Shares' Matt Mena called it perfectly: "The dots leaned more dovish... That repricing risk is now front and center — creating an asymmetric setup for Bitcoin."

September stays shaky, but Q4 is historically Bitcoin's strongest season. With institutional ETF flows running six straight days of inflows and crypto just 7% below all-time highs, the setup is textbook.

FRNT's Stephane Ouellette summed up the moment: "Wall Street and Main Street alike are about to enter a fiat devaluation cycle the likes of which hasn't been seen since 2021. Bitcoin is a clear alternative."

The reality: The first cut was just the spark. When $7.5T in yield-chasing capital rotates into risk assets, Bitcoin won't just break all-time highs - it'll obliterate them.

The liquidity flood is coming. Position accordingly.
