Incredibly grateful for everyone who’s been part of this journey so far – colleagues, partners, builders, and friends across the Nordics and beyond.
2025 was a big step for Kaupr, and it feels more like a starting point than a finished chapter.
Did you know 12.3% of Norwegians now own crypto?
It's no longer a grey area; it's a household name.
Over 2.1 million adults in the Nordics hold crypto.
Crypto adoption across the Nordics is on the rise.
Get more insight, reports, news, and video recordings on our Crypto Adoption 2025 landing page.
Will you join and support "Diversity in Crypto" on Friday the 7th of March, alongside 120 already registered attendees?

Why is Elon Musk Throttling the Signal App?
Links to a popular encrypted messaging app used by federal workers are being blocked on X.
Self-professed free speech crusader Elon Musk seems to be trying to censor users on his own platform.
How is it possible to present «breaking news» about Trump and Putin «agreed» on piece negotiations for Ukraine? Even from Norwegian broadcasters like NRK and TV2. Isn’t there one party missing in this way of presenting «news»?
AI Agents strike back with a powerful stock price surge
While the exchanges, Nasdaq and especially Nvidia experienced sharp price drops in Monday, the crypto-based AI agents struck back with price gains of 35-40 percent. Kaupr gives you the explanation.
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has wreaked havoc in the tech world in record time. With its latest model, the company is challenging US tech giants - at a fraction of the cost. Financial markets are also reacting. At the same time, the news is received with enthusiasm by the crypto communities.
In Kaupr we are now re-launching our main newsletter as ‘Next by Kaupr, which also will be our flagship newsletter. Next will be available both in English and Norwegian.
Today we published the first edition in 2025, which you can find here:

More than 60 German universities and academic institutions said in a joint statement that X was now incompatible with their principles.
"The platform's current direction is not compatible with the basic values of the institutions concerned», they said.

AI Agents and Crypto: The New Narrative in 2025?

Thanks Ebony! Much appreciated!
Interesting! I am also following these trends in a media, content and creator context, where there seems to be a movement towards onchain publishing. With AI and agents in the mix, it becomes even more interesting.
AI Agents and Crypto: The New Narrative in 2025
AI plus crypto, powered by AI agents and backed by an open and social internet, has become the new narrative in the transition between 2024 and 2025. What were previously seen as separate technologies are now converging.
Thanks! You are probably right regarding most of the AI agents. But to me, the development seems to go much faster. For instance there are already more than 13,000 AI agents launched on this platform: app.virtuals.io. And some of them are transitioning from content to action.
Now comes the AI agents: A new industrial revolution?
Artificial intelligence is entering a new era, with generative AI giving way to agentic AI-systems that act independently and perform complex tasks.

Jeg har likevel mange gode opplevelser på Bluesky, nettopp fordi jeg skreddersyr det jeg følger, søker, har som feed. Er egentlig ganske imponert over hvilken rekkevidde Bluesky har allerede, selv om f.eks. Threads har 10x antall kontoer.
Takk for kommentar! Og ikke uenig med deg. Jeg er fortsatt også på X av faglige grunner. På Bluesky er brukeropplevelsen avhengig av hvem jeg følger, bruk av startpakker, feeds, søk og nå kanskje trender. Tror ikke Bluesky vil ta i bruk AI uten å gi brukerne en måte å styre det på.
Norwegians are changing their social media habits:
7% of Norwegians aged 18 and older now use Bluesky weekly, equivalent to 310,000 people, with 4% using it daily.
Threads has 5% weekly and 2% daily users.
For X, the figures are at 16% weekly and 10% daily.
Såvidt jeg kan se er det bare spurt om fremtidig bruk av X, ikke om sosial mediebruk totalt fremover. Men @futsaeter.bsky.social fra Kantar slår til med en spenstig spådom:
– 300.000 er ikke noe lite tall. Om Bluesky ikke tar igjen X neste år, så gjør det det i hvert fall året etter, sier han.
A few months ago, few had heard of the X challenger. Now, over 300,000 Norwegians use Bluesky.
Seven percent of all adult Norwegians use the social media platform Bluesky weekly. Meanwhile, half of X users report plans to reduce their usage. Is a shift in dominance approaching?
For noen måneder siden hadde få hørt om X-utfordreren. Nå bruker over 300.000 nordmenn Bluesky.
Sju prosent av alle voksne nordmenn bruker det sosiale mediet Bluesky hver uke. Samtidig sier halvparten av X-brukerne at de vil bruke X mindre framover. Nærmer det seg et tronskifte?
My prediction in @wired.com: 2025 is the year of AI agents.
The coming psychopolitical regime "directs the environments where our ideas are born, developed, and expressed. Its power lies in its intimacy—it infiltrates our subjectivity.
We will be playing an imitation game that ultimately plays us."
How is that a publication like Rolling Stone gets it right when so many other news orgs are failing at real journalism & keeping it real—and so damn obvious about it?
Do any human want to live in this kind of dystopia? on.ft.com/41MbAp3
Both, but I also use the Quiet feed a lot!
Researchers in countries from the UK to Bangladesh - and my analysis of X Community Notes - failed to turn up much evidence that the technology was a weapon of choice for disinformation campaigns this year
