Welcome back, data homies. So, I'm
really excited to announce some of the
more recent partnerships and just
regular announcements that has happened
with Theta Network. So, we're going to
see here on X. We're going to see that
here. Just to start off, cuz I feel like
this is pretty dang important. The first
week of January 2026 has arrived. Theta
Network will announce a new head of
marketing in the coming days. This
original post was on November 17th of
2025. If you really want to look in more
updates about Theta, definitely join
their Discord. None of these videos are
sponsored by Theta Network as of yet. I
would mention it somewhere here in the
video if they were. So hopefully one day
in the future they will be. But
nonetheless, looking at what Wes has
said. Well, for one, it's clear that
despite the greatest success of last
year for Thin Network, unquestionably
more adoption than in any of the other
time, the message is just not getting
out to the crypto community the way it
has in the past. Part of that is that
cryptospace has thousandx more
competition now. We have a new head of
marketing and PR coming on board soon. I
think officially the first week of
January after the holidays, although
he's already working behind the scenes
and on some initiatives now. So, it
sounds like the marketing and PR is just
all in one title. So, it's nice seeing
that they are already working on it. It
is the first week it's been when this
video is posted, it's going to be
towards the second week of January, but
we Chelsea as to how Thin Network is
going to present this new figure, this
new position. So, we just kind of have
to wait and see and I'll definitely
announce it when we do see that type of
announcement. Before going on to the
roundup for what has happened in
December of 2025, I do want to mention
of our sponsor for Theta forum. So just
a quick message from them. Theta forums,
you're able to have community questions,
have answers by the community for the
community. You can see there are
different type of categories that are
listed here and it tells you what kind
of date it was posted. Different
directories, meaning there's different
aspects of Theta Network that you can
probably ask. For example, there's just
a couple from the beginning. You can see
here Theta Network forum, Theta Edge
Cloud Forum, Theta Drop Forum. so on and
so forth. You're more than welcome to
check out all the links down below in
the description for this post right
here. In addition to that, you can see
all the other tabs right here as well.

Drops website, Guardian Monitor, Theta
Con, mobile edge node download. So, if
you do want to sign up or log in, there
is that page up here on the top right.
If you want to add your email so you'll
be added to the list, I'm sure you'll
get notifications when there's new posts
or anything like that. But overall, like
I said, check out that link down below
for Theta Forms. Thank you, Theta
Forums, for sponsoring this video. Now,
back on to the other video. Continuing
on to Theta Network's post here says
they've got a lot done in December,
including further adoption and bringing
Theta Edgecloud fully out of beta. Read
more about their monthly blog below. So,
you'll see all the links you'll see in
this video are down below. So,
definitely check that out along with my
Theta Guardian note if you do want to
stake your Theta tokens. So, now going
on to the roundup for 2025 of December.
Here are just some things that are
highlighted. It says Theta Edgecloud is
officially live and out of beta. AI
workloads now route seamlessly across
thousands of edge nodes and cloud GPUs
delivering high performance computing at
a fraction of traditional cost. So now
that's the whole premise of data
network. So we shall see has all these
institutions, all these other platforms,
all these other sports platforms like
gaming or just regular competitive
sports like the NHL. They also have the
Houston Rockets I believe also football
or like soccer is also now affiliated
with a network. So we'll see as to how
the traffic builds with data network and
if data network can truly hold and host
all these other platforms. Additionally,
the Trop 2.0 white paper is outlines how
TROP is becoming the app level incentive
for AI and compute. So if you haven't
yet, check out my previous video. I
definitely do a better dive on it if you
want to see more details again. Or if
you want to click on this link here, you
can see all the other details when you
follow throughout the roundup that
reflects on the 2025 road map
accomplishments. So here if you want to
click on all the partners you want to
see all the institutions that has
partnered with Theta Network or
collaborated with them in the year of
2025. I feel like it's a nice plus. I'm
still obviously optimistic for Theta
Network for 2026 and forward. But again
I am more skeptical just because all the
backlash I guess with the lawsuits but
again I feel like that's just more of a
employment issue rather than theta
network itself as a platform or
ecosystem. new AI agents for other clubs
and partners of Theta Network that were
listed. So you can see here another one
is Ulson on HD. South Korea's I believe
football team or football club you can
say. Additionally with U.G. they
partnered with Theta Network to
integrate their AI powered agent for
League of Legends powered by Theta
Edgecloud hybrid. So if you want to
check them out as well here is all these
links. Additionally I feel like this is
just a huge plus in my opinion is the
digital chamber. So advocacy group. So
the additionally they're just really
just tying in politics. So you have the
crypto world, you have politics, the
digital chamber is that middle bridge to
really combine both worlds so that
everyone knows and understands what each
party or side is discussing. So I feel
like once that errors out some things
and confusions and terminology, I feel
like crypto blockchain is just going to
be a future norm. But again, that's just
my own opinion. Put your own and
thoughts down below. Again, here are
just some shout outs from Theta
Network's partners. So you have New
Jersey Devils, 100 Thieves, and
Dignitas. says, "Three killer sports
brands that have put the edgecloud to
work for their AI powered chat bots.
Real practical use cases." Again, I
don't know if they are asking or forcing
these type of partnerships to make these
type of announcements, but again, it's
kind of nice that there is at least some
sort of announcement from each
individual partner. Hopefully, there
would be more announcements from each
collaboration. Like the Houston Rockets
would be a big one. Las Vegas Knights
have mentioned it on their platforms,
but there hasn't been any kind of video
on it. So hopefully one day if I do see
any other news about it, I'll reflect on
it, but I just personally haven't seen
anything too specific just of yet. Also
want to mention Dutch Telecom also
highlighting Theta Network has pushed
decentralized GPU cloud from vision to
reality. And again, I'll touch on this a
little bit just so there's no confusion
cuz a little bit in this type of
roundup. We'll talk a little bit more
specifics. The network and CEO Mitch
Luke catches up with SE commissioner
Hester Pierce in DC. So this is just
talking about how again how the digital
chamber could have some potential impact
with the network being a blockchain.
This individual being a part of the
government and seeing if there is going
to be some sort of ties between the two.
Hopefully in the near future there will
be. And I believe with this commissioner
though I think their position or time in
this office area almost is up. I'll try
to post their type of enrollment or
employment for this position somewhere
here if I'm able to find it. And again,
I feel like this is pretty important too
because Theta listed by by Bybit EU. I
believe this is an exchange in Europe
primarily. And why I believe this is
pretty important because you do see
Dutch telecom here. They are the parent
company for T-Mobile, but they are not
T-Mobile. Feel like there just need to
be some sort of clarification on that.
They are just another telecom web
service. So, I believe this is pretty
important for when it goes to the Bybit
EU because they are based in Germany.
So, I feel like that just kind of makes
sense for Theta Network to be listed on
that type of platform. But that's all I
really have for this type of roundup. If
you have any other thoughts and comments
or things you want to see about Theta
Network, just comment it down below. One
last thing here you'll see is the Theta
Drop governance portal. So, if you want
to click here, it talks about
reallocating 4 billion Trop from
liquidity mining from NFTts to staking
rewards. So basically, you're removing
that 4 billion to helping the staking
rewards pool for anyone who's using and
staking Theta Drop for all these AI
computations, anything like that,
because you'll be able to use those
Teard Drop tokens for any other exchange
for those microtransactions that I
mentioned before in a previous video. So
if you want to check that out to get a
real deep dive as to what Teop 2.0 is
really going to be, I probably would
recommend that. But again, none of the
videos are financial advice. Definitely
do your own research before investing,
guys. That's all I really have for this
video. If you want to look at all the
details, they're listed here. But really
am excited just seeing where Theta
Network is going and hopefully we see
more positive news. Lawsuits are dropped
and we'll just see hopefully the Theta
Network future is hopefully secured and
we'll see other companies on board them.
Well, that's all I really have for
today's video, guys. Thank you so much
