GetBlock Magazine - Что произошло? Ориентированный на токенизированные активы реального мира (RWA) блокчейн первого уровня (L1) Mantra запустил экосистемный фонд на 108,9 млн долларов для ускорения роста стартапов в сферах RWA и децентрализованных финансов (DeFi).

Материал Cointelegraph

Что еще известно? Команда Mantra заявила, что в течение следующих четырех лет будет распределять капитал среди «высокопотенциальных блокчейн-проектов» по всему миру, а инвестиционные возможности будут получены через сеть партнеров Mantra.

В число спонсоров фонда входит широкий круг институциональных партнеров, включая Laser Digital, Shorooq, Brevan Howard Digital, Valor Capital, Three Point Capital и Amber Group.

Гендиректор Mantra Джон Патрик Маллин сказал, что фонд будет «приветствовать проекты на любой стадии разработки по всему миру, уделяя особое внимание RWA и DeFi».

По словам Маллина, Mantra стремится стать базовым инфраструктурным слоем для выпуска токенизированных активов по всему миру.

Запуск фонда состоялся через месяц после того, как Mantra стала первой платформой DeFi, получившей лицензию поставщика услуг виртуальных активов (VASP) в соответствии с правилами Управления по регулированию виртуальных активов Дубая (VARA).

Запуск фонда происходит на фоне растущего институционального интереса к RWA, которые рассматривают как хеджирование от волатильности более широкого рынка.

Jensen Huang's Daughter: From Chef to an $8 Million Annual Salary

Madison Huang, daughter of NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang, recently made a rare public appearance in Beijing during the 2026 World Robot Conference. As the Senior Director of Product and Technology Marketing for NVIDIA's Physical AI Platform, with an annual salary of approximately $1.2 million, her visit focused on evaluating leading Chinese robotics companies like UBTech, Unitree, and others. This highlights NVIDIA's strategic interest in the burgeoning Chinese robotics ecosystem, a key battleground for the development of Physical AI—technology that enables machines to understand and interact with the physical world. Huang's career path is unconventional. Initially pursuing her passion, she studied culinary arts, worked as a chef, and later held a marketing role at LVMH. She joined NVIDIA as an intern in 2020 after completing an MBA, quickly rising through the ranks. Her brother, Spencer Huang, followed a similar path, closing a cocktail bar he co-founded to also join NVIDIA, where he now works on robotics software. Jensen Huang has publicly addressed nepotism concerns, humorously noting that some "second-generation" employees outperform their parents. The conference itself underscored China's vibrant robotics sector, marked by Unitree's recent blockbuster IPO and a pipeline of companies preparing to go public. While hardware development and manufacturing are advancing rapidly, industry leaders like Wang Xingxing of Unitree point to the next critical challenge: developing the "brain" or AI that allows robots to perform diverse, unseen tasks based on simple instructions. With massive manufacturing scale and diverse real-world testing scenarios, China is positioned as a central player in the global race to define the future of robotics.

He Gave Wang Xingxing the First 2 Million, Now Serves as Chairman for the Next 'Unitree'

On August 19, 2024, Unitree Robotics, China's "first humanoid robotics stock," went public. Its founder, Wang Xingxing, started a decade ago with his self-developed XDog. In 2016, at a critical funding juncture, he received his first angel investment of 2 million RMB from Yin Fangming. This bet has since yielded a return of over 140 times. Yin Fangming is more than just a key investor. He was a co-founder of the AI robotics company ROOBO, whose own venture ultimately struggled. This firsthand experience with the hardware challenges in robotics gave him unique insight when backing Unitree, a company renowned for its hardware R&D and cost control. While his own company faltered, Yin continued investing shrewdly. He partially cashed out some Unitree shares early, reinvesting the proceeds into sectors like energy (e.g., solid-state battery firm TaiLan) and commercial aerospace (e.g., small launch vehicle developer XianDeng Aerospace). However, his most significant move after Unitree is his deep involvement with Galaxy General, a leading embodied AI unicorn. In July 2024, Yin stepped from behind the scenes to officially become its Chairman, indicating a role far beyond a typical investor. This comes as Galaxy General is viewed as preparing for future capital moves. Yin's career has consistently been ahead of the curve—from mobile internet to AI and robotics. Known for his foresight and low profile, he declined an interview for this story, offering only a statement encouraging support for visionary entrepreneurs like Wang Xingxing.

Coldcard Theft Reflection: Source Code Visibility Does Not Equal Security

The article examines the open-source vs. closed-source debate in crypto, prompted by a theft of over $100M in Bitcoin from Coldcard hardware wallets. It clarifies key terminology: true "Free and Open Source Software" (FOSS) grants four essential freedoms (use, study, share, modify), while "source available" code, like Coldcard's firmware, may have usage restrictions. The piece argues that visible source code alone does not guarantee security; actual safety depends on the economic incentives for thorough, ongoing review by skilled individuals. Using Bitcoin Core as a model, the article describes a successful, transparent open-source development culture built on public review and consensus. It contrasts this with the Coldcard case, where a critical bug in a lightly-reviewed, source-available library went undetected for years, highlighting a "tragedy of the commons" scenario where assumed but absent scrutiny creates vulnerability. The economics of licensing are crucial: restrictive licenses can limit the pool of motivated commercial reviewers. Finally, the article explores AI's impact. It cites the Bitcoin Red Team's use of AI to rapidly audit codebases and find vulnerabilities at scale, demonstrating a powerful new tool for security. However, AI also floods projects with low-quality code, straining maintainers. The piece concludes that in high-stakes crypto, only well-audited projects—whether open or closed-source—can withstand evolving threats, with AI both challenging and aiding security practices.

Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Attract $2.6 Billion in One Week: Record Since October 2025

U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of $2.6 billion for the week, marking the highest since October 2025, according to SoSoValue. Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.9 billion while Ethereum funds drew $697.2 million, both setting 2026 records. This reversed a $392 million outflow from the prior week. Bitcoin ETF trading volume surged over 219% to $22.1 billion, and assets under management (AUM) grew 25.4% to $96.1 billion. Inflows were concentrated around a rally on August 19-20, with BlackRock's IBIT fund alone accounting for $503 million of the $606.3 million inflow on Thursday. Ethereum ETFs saw their strongest week since October 2025, with trading volume jumping 259.4% to $6.9 billion and AUM rising 35.9% to $14.3 billion. Despite the strong week, Bitcoin ETFs still show a net outflow of approximately $2.9 billion year-to-date for 2026, and Ethereum funds are down about $191.8 million. The recent inflows reduced the combined year-to-date deficit for both categories from $5.7 billion to $3.1 billion.

U.S. Treasury Steps Up Long-Term Bond Buybacks, Why Are Gold and Bitcoin Rising?

The U.S. Treasury's announcement to double its long-term Treasury bond repurchase program has fueled market fears over potential dollar depreciation, leading to significant rallies in both Bitcoin and gold. Analysts interpret the larger buybacks as a form of easing, which could exacerbate inflation and erode the dollar's purchasing power, driving investors toward perceived hard assets like Bitcoin and gold. Bitcoin saw a sharp surge, further amplified by short-covering and positive regulatory developments. Gold also broke above a key technical level amid dollar weakness. However, the bond market's reaction was muted, with long-term yields remaining elevated. Skepticism persists over whether these repurchases can address the fundamental pressures driving the bond sell-off, especially against a backdrop of soaring U.S. government debt and interest costs.
