cryptonews.ruPublished on 2019-12-15Last updated on 2024-10-15

Компания Blockcast объявила о завершении раунда финансирования на сумму $2,85 млн, который был возглавлен фондом Lattice. Среди других участников данного этапа по сбору средств такие крупные игроки, как AllianceDAO, Protocol Labs, Finality Capital, Zee Prime Capital, а также сооснователь Solana, Анатолий Яковенко. Это важный шаг в развитии Blockcast, который подтверждает доверие инвесторов к проекту, нацеленному на инновации в области интернет-инфраструктуры.

Одновременно с анонсом, Blockcast запустила версию V0 своего веб-портала для управления узлами сети. Он уже сейчас дает возможность пользователям взаимодействовать с системой и станет основным центром для регистрации и управления CDN (Content Delivery Network) PoP (Points of Presence). Площадка будет полезна как для коммерческих операторов, так и для глобального сообщества, открывая возможности для участия в работе децентрализованной сети.

Благодаря новому порталу, Blockcast планирует создать хаб для управления инфраструктурой CDN, что станет важным шагом для развития децентрализованных сетевых технологий. Это позволит улучшить управление и распространение данных через узлы, что в конечном итоге может привести к значительному повышению эффективности доставки контента в интернете. В будущем платформа продолжит развиваться, предоставляя более удобные и эффективные инструменты для операторов узлов.

Для того чтобы отблагодарить своих ранних сторонников, Blockcast организовала бонусную программу. Все пользователи, которые зарегистрируются на веб-портале и подпишутся на компанию в Twitter в течение 48 часов, получат 888 бонусных очков.

Основатель Blockcast, Оли Рамадан, назвал запуск портала «парадигмальной сменой» в инфраструктуре интернета. В интервью для программы Coverage Proved он подчеркнул, что участники Blockcast могут стать частью этого технологического прорыва, помогая формировать новую систему управления интернет-ресурсами, ориентированную на децентрализацию и участие сообщества.

$10 Billion, Qualcomm to Acquire Chip Legend Jim Keller's Company

Global mobile chip giant Qualcomm is in advanced talks to acquire AI chip startup Tenstorrent in a deal valued between $8-10 billion, according to media reports. This potential acquisition would be one of the largest in the AI chip sector in recent years. Tenstorrent, led by legendary chip architect Jim Keller, has gained prominence for its RISC-V architecture and AI accelerator designs. The move highlights Qualcomm's strategic push to diversify beyond its core smartphone chip business. As the smartphone market matures, Qualcomm is aggressively targeting growth in automotive, data center, and cloud AI. Acquiring Tenstorrent would allow Qualcomm to rapidly enter the high-end AI computing market, bypassing lengthy in-house development cycles. Tenstorrent's cost-effective system architecture, which avoids expensive HBM memory and relies on standard Ethernet for clustering, offers a potential alternative to Nvidia's costly solutions. Furthermore, Tenstorrent's high-performance RISC-V CPU technology and its focus on the automotive and edge computing segments align with Qualcomm's strategic goals, including its "Snapdragon Digital Chassis" platform. Despite the strategic rationale, the high valuation has sparked some investor caution. The successful integration of Tenstorrent's open-source culture and independent team into Qualcomm's organization, along with the commercialization of its technology, remains a key challenge.

CARDS' Brutal Truth of $535M FDV: Only $43M Net Revenue, Profit Margin Halved

The article deconstructs Collector Crypt (CC), a blockchain-based platform for trading tokenized collectible cards, revealing a significant disparity between its high volume and actual business fundamentals. Key findings include: * CC's cumulative revenue of $635M is misleading; 90.6% is instantly returned to users via card buybacks, leaving only $43M in net revenue (6.7% retention). * Trading activity is minimal, with real secondary market trading below $5M. eBay sales as a percentage of volume have declined for six consecutive quarters. * The platform's user base is highly concentrated, with a few dozen high-frequency wallets driving most of the volume, resembling a "casino" with ~420 daily active players. * As volume shifts to higher-priced card packs, the net profit margin has halved from 11.2% to 5.8%. * Token value capture (via burns and buybacks) totals only $1.4M, just 3.4% of net revenue. Meanwhile, operational wallets have off-ramped $45.7M in USDC. * With a Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) of ~$535M, the token trades at 7.3x net revenue. The float is only 20.5%, with 72% of the supply allocated to insiders and locked until November 2027. The analysis concludes that while CC has found product-market fit as a high-speed gacha machine, it shows little evidence of evolving into a sustainable collector's marketplace, with minimal value accruing to its CARDS token.

Arthur Hayes-Linked Wallet And Whales Accumulate Tens Of Millions In ETH

On-chain tracker Lookonchain reports significant Ethereum accumulation by a wallet linked to Arthur Hayes, purchasing 1,400 ETH (worth ~$2.51 million). This follows a prior transaction of 3,000 ETH to a possibly Hayes-linked wallet. The activity highlights renewed whale interest as ETH faces market-wide pressure. While such large-scale buying can support market sentiment by suggesting stronger hands see value, analysts caution that wallet attribution is not a direct personal confirmation. The key for traders is whether this accumulation is part of a broader pattern that can help ETH defend key support levels. The signal is considered one input among many; price confirmation and broadening spot demand beyond isolated whale wallets are still needed for a convincing recovery setup. Observers are watching for sustained exchange withdrawals to gauge longer-term positioning.

With SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic Listing in Succession, Can the Market Really Absorb Them?

The article analyzes the market's capacity to absorb the concurrent mega-IPOs of SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, which could collectively seek over $200 billion from public markets—more than four times the total U.S. IPO volume in 2025. SpaceX, already public at a $2.1 trillion valuation, demonstrated strong demand with significant oversubscription. Anthropic, targeting a Q4 2026 listing, presents a compelling financial story with rapid revenue growth and a projected first quarterly operating profit. OpenAI, however, faces the greatest scrutiny due to its high cash burn and lack of profitability, with its eventual financial disclosures posing a key risk to its ~$1 trillion target valuation. Wall Street sentiment is divided: bulls point to ample liquidity in money markets and pent-up demand for pure-play AI stocks, while bears warn of a liquidity drain and risk transfer from private to public investors. A "capitulation long" mindset—participating despite bubble concerns—is also noted. The author concludes the market has the appetite for individual offerings, as shown by SpaceX. The real test will be whether OpenAI and Anthropic's financial fundamentals can support their valuations upon public scrutiny. The ultimate question for AI valuations remains whether enterprise adoption translates to tangible cost savings or revenue generation.
