Numerai Crypto marks its first anniversary, demonstrating successful application of collective intelligence in cryptocurrency prediction. The platform's Meta Model now aggregates hundreds of daily predictions for top 500 tokens, freely accessible to all users. Key updates: - Growing user base with increased stakes - Improved signal quality and performance - Upcoming v2 dataset release with enhanced features - Current stake value exceeds $790,000 across 256 models Access predictions at [crypto.numer.ai/meta-model](https://crypto.numer.ai/meta-model) Users can participate by submitting predictions and staking NMR tokens, with potential for rewards or losses based on accuracy.

Numerai's Meta Model has reached a significant milestone, achieving the #1 ranking in CORR performance metrics. The model aggregates intelligence from over 4,000 staked models, demonstrating the effectiveness of crowdsourced predictions in financial markets. This marks an improvement from January 2025, when the Meta Model ranked 3rd with $6.5 million in staked predictions. Track performance: [Numerai Meta Model](https://numer.ai/~numerai_swmm)
