Основатель Ethereum направил на благотворительность все «животные» токены, накопившиеся у него за последний год

Виталик Бутерин объявил, что направил на благотворительность все криптовалюты, связанные с темой животных (animal coins), которые накопились у него за последний год. Такие криптовалюты присылают на кошелек Бутерину разработчики блокчейн-проектов.

В общей сложности основатель Ethereum перевел 200 ETH ($530 тыс.) Фонду защиты животных (Animal Welfare Fund). В сообщении, он выразил надежду, что средства пойдут напрямую в благотворительные организации.

Бутерин многократно говорил том, что мемкоины могут занять нишу токенов, используемых для благотворительности. Он полагает, что настало время финансировать серьезные общественные проекты.

«Сейчас 2024 год, мы можем начать заниматься более серьезным общественным финансированием», — написал Бутерин.

В 2021 году создатель Ethereum пожертвовал $1 млрд на борьбу с Covid-19 в Индии. Он перевел 500 Ethereum и 50 трлн токенов Shiba Inu в фонд India COVID-Crypto Relief.

Тогда же Бутерин направил Ethereum и Dogelon Mars на $336 млн в некоммерческую организацию Methuselah Foundation. Она занимается регенеративной медициной.

Ethereum and Bitcoin face historic supply squeeze – THESE 2 metrics reveal what’s next

Bitcoin and Ethereum are experiencing a historic supply squeeze, as both cryptocurrencies see their exchange balances hit multi-year lows. This persistent withdrawal trend signals a shift toward long-term holding and self-custody models like ETFs, reducing the liquid supply available for trading. For Bitcoin, long-term holders are actively accumulating, with their net position change turning positive and supply held approaching 15 million BTC. This behavior creates scarcity, which could amplify price discovery if demand recovers. However, the analysis concludes that while reduced exchange supply supports accumulation, a sustained Bitcoin uptrend will ultimately require stronger buying demand to absorb available liquidity and maintain momentum.

AxBlade × AWS Hong Kong Summit Wraps: Defining Accountability for Physical AI

AxBlade, the accountability layer for autonomous AI, co-hosted an exclusive side event, "From Agentic AI to Physical AI: What Gets Funded After the Model Wave?" during AWS Summit Hong Kong Week. The gathering of over 100 founders, researchers, and investors from institutions like AWS, NVIDIA, and Y Combinator examined the infrastructure gap between AI demos and real-world deployment. A key consensus emerged: for Physical AI to move from lab to production, it requires verifiable identity, trusted execution, and cryptographically provable behavior records. Three panels discussed investor shifts toward compliance-native infrastructure, the liability challenges of AI in physical systems, and the technical middleware needed for enterprise adoption. AxBlade showcased its compliance-native Layer 2 blockchain as a solution, combining decentralized identity (DID), Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), and Zero-Knowledge Proof of Behavior (PoB) to create an auditable trust infrastructure for autonomous AI. The event concluded with curated networking and a private dinner, fostering discussions across AI, healthcare, and Web3 sectors.

EdgeX breaks out of 30-day consolidation – Can bulls push EDGE to $0.80?

EdgeX (EDGE) surged 34% in a day, breaking out of a 30-day consolidation pattern and signaling strong bullish control. Technical indicators, including the Chaikin Money Flow turning positive and Bull Bear Power, confirm growing buyer dominance and a potential trend reversal from its bearish phase since early June. For the rally to extend, the asset must overcome key supply resistance between $0.39 and $0.42. If momentum holds, near-term targets are $0.55, with a longer-term potential to fill a fair value gap up to the $0.80-$1.21 range. Overall market sentiment remains firmly bullish, supporting the case for a continued upward move.

CFTC accuses fund manager of hiding crypto, futures losses behind fake investor returns

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has charged Trevor L. Vernon and his firm, Argent Capital Management LLC, with fraud. The complaint alleges that from March 2022 to February 2026, they solicited over $14.8 million from at least 60 investors for a commodity pool, falsely portraying it as consistently profitable. In reality, the fund allegedly suffered massive losses exceeding $8.6 million from trading futures, options, and cryptocurrencies, including over $108,000 in crypto losses from Vernon's personal exchange accounts. The CFTC accuses the defendants of concealing these losses by distributing fake performance reports and operating a Ponzi-like scheme, using new investor funds to pay earlier participants. The regulator is seeking investor restitution, civil penalties, and permanent trading bans. The allegations are unproven and the case is proceeding in federal court.
