币界网报道:

风险投资公司Andreessen Horowitz(a16z)的加密货币部门宣布参与旧金山初创公司PIP Labs的8000万美元融资。PIP Labs是Story Protocol背后的公司,Story Protocol是一种基于区块链的解决方案,专注于解决人工智能(AI)工具造成的知识产权(IP)盗窃问题。

根据Story Protocol的公告,它在三轮融资中筹集了1.4亿美元。除了a16z,最新一轮融资还吸引了Polychain Capital和Samsung NEXT等实体以及Stability AI的Scott Trowbridge和前Coinbase首席技术官Balaji Srinivasan等个人的投资。

Dixon表示,人工智能和创意将和平共处

a16z crypto的管理合伙人Chris Dixon在宣布这笔交易时将其描述为一种工具,它将使人工智能系统和创意人员能够愉快地共存。他解释说,基于区块链的协议通过帮助创意人员在生成人工智能时代保护他们在互联网上的作品来解决核心问题。

这位a16z高管介绍了互联网目前如何以有利于创作者和平台的方式运作的背景。然而,人工智能的到来已经改变了这一点。通过在人类创造的内容上训练人工智能模型来生成不归功于来源的人工智能内容,这项新技术正在打破“经济契约”

Dixon希望Story协议能够解决这个问题并恢复平衡。通过该平台,创作者可以注册他们的IP并跟踪其使用情况,以充分保护他们的知识产权。

他说:

“为了让人工智能系统和创意人才都蓬勃发展,创作者需要一种现代的方式来确保他们的工作得到补偿。Story采用了一种经过验证的方法——知识产权法——并为人工智能时代进行了更新。”

值得注意的是,a16z对Story Protocol的大力支持尤为突出,因为他们也参与了种子轮和A轮融资。虽然这突显了这家初创公司的16z信念,但这并不奇怪。

人们对打击人工智能侵犯版权的工具的需求越来越大,尤其是随着越来越多的人工智能初创公司继续违反版权法。包括OpenAI和Perplexity在内的几家人工智能初创公司都面临着侵犯版权的诉讼或威胁诉讼。

知识产权保护建立在区块链之上

经过最新一轮融资,Story Protocol现在的估值为22.5亿美元。这并不奇怪,因为它结合了目前最热门的两项技术——区块链和人工智能——使其成为风险投资公司的首选投资产品。

然而,投资者和创始人声称,这不仅仅是没有价值的嗡嗡声。A16z指出,该公司的联合创始人拥有强大的背景。2021年,Seung Yoon Lee以4.4亿美元的价格开发并销售了连载小说应用Radish,而Jason赵是Google Deepmind的前工程师。

创始人同样看好他们的产品。赵将他们的平台描述为一个专门构建的第1层网络,用作世界IP区块链。这将使其成为创作者注册IP的地方,以及部署为IP保护和使用而设计的应用程序的平台。该平台已经推出了一些应用程序,并承诺在未来几天推出更多应用程序。

与此同时,故事协议的主张并不完全新颖。包括欧盟和世界知识产权组织在内的几个政府组织也考虑使用区块链技术进行知识产权保护。

Will History Repeat Itself? Fidelity Lists Five Catalysts to End the Crypto Winter

Fidelity's new report suggests that the current crypto winter for Bitcoin may be nearing its end, identifying five potential catalysts that could drive a market turnaround based on historical patterns. First, Bitcoin's approximately four-year cycle, driven by its halving mechanism, historically marks peaks and troughs. The last bottom was in November 2022, potentially pointing to the next around November 2026, though cycle length can vary. Second, clearer regulation has often preceded past bull markets. The focus is now on the CLARITY Act, which aims to clarify US digital asset oversight between the SEC and CFTC. Its passage could unlock domestic activity currently held back by legal uncertainty. Third, Federal Reserve monetary policy plays a role. A shift to lower interest rates tends to correlate with rising crypto prices by reducing borrowing costs and boosting risk appetite, though markets may price this in well ahead of any official change. Fourth, the emergence of breakthrough applications can fuel investor interest. Current trends like real-world asset tokenization, AI-related crypto infrastructure, and stablecoins are being watched, but history shows the biggest catalysts are often unexpected. Fifth, a new wave of institutional adoption could be a trigger. While ongoing adoption in 2026 hasn't sparked a new bull run, a major unexpected move—like a significant purchase by a tech giant or adoption as a hedge in a global crisis—could create a powerful new narrative. Fidelity concludes that while the market is in a downturn, historical turning points have often resulted from a combination of such factors, and the next phase for Bitcoin may depend on which of these catalysts materializes first.

US CFTC Launches Broad Investigation into Polymarket, Is the Prediction Market Party Coming to an End?

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is conducting a broad investigation into the prediction market platform Polymarket, focusing on its business practices including social media promotions. This follows a bipartisan letter from U.S. senators urging the CFTC to probe alleged fraudulent marketing tactics used to promote gambling-like products. The action coincides with a period of explosive growth for the prediction market sector, driven by events like the World Cup, with platforms like Kalshi and Robinhood reporting record trading volumes and revenue. The investigation signals a potential end to the sector's unregulated expansion and may lead to clearer federal oversight, particularly regarding investor protection and distinguishing prediction markets from traditional sports betting. The CFTC's move has also intensified a jurisdictional conflict with multiple U.S. states (including Kentucky and New York), which have sued platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, accusing them of operating illegal sports betting and threatening state gambling tax revenues. Furthermore, the CME Group has sued the CFTC, challenging its approval of certain prediction market products. The report also highlights the political and capital interests intertwined with the industry. Donald Trump Jr. holds advisory and investment roles in both Kalshi and Polymarket, and the Trump administration has previously emphasized federal regulatory authority over these markets. The CFTC's investigation into Polymarket is framed as a step towards formalizing the industry's regulatory landscape, moving it from a phase of "wild growth" towards a more structured future.

U.S. CFTC Launches Extensive Investigation into Polymarket, Is the Prediction Market Frenzy Season Cooling Down?

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a broad investigation into the prediction market platform Polymarket, focusing on its business practices including social media activities. This follows a bipartisan letter from U.S. senators urging the CFTC to probe allegations of paid influencer false marketing and fraudulent promotion of gambling-like products to American users. The investigation comes as the prediction market sector experiences explosive growth, largely driven by the World Cup. Weekly trading volumes have hit record highs, exceeding $14.4 billion, with platforms like Kalshi and Robinhood's new venture seeing significant activity. Major firms like Meta are also showing interest in the space. This regulatory scrutiny signals a potential end to the sector's "wild growth" phase. The CFTC's move also highlights an escalating jurisdictional conflict between federal regulators and state authorities. Over a dozen states, including Kentucky and New York, have sued platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, accusing them of operating illegal sports betting, which threatens state gambling tax revenues. The CFTC is countersuing to assert its exclusive federal jurisdiction over these "event contracts" as derivatives. Furthermore, the CFTC's approval of Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual futures contract has sparked a lawsuit from traditional exchange CME, alleging regulatory overreach. The political and capital landscape is intricate, with Donald Trump Jr. holding advisory roles and investments in both Kalshi and Polymarket. This connects capital, political influence, and regulatory bodies, suggesting the current investigation may be a step toward formalizing the industry's rules rather than halting its progress.
