Talos приобретает Coin Metrics за $100 млн для расширения аналитических возможностей

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2025-02-16Last updated on 2025-07-17

Talos, ведущий провайдер торговой инфраструктуры для институциональных инвесторов в цифровые активы, объявил о стратегическом приобретении аналитической платформы Coin Metrics.

Сумма сделки превышает $100 млн, однако точное распределение между денежными средствами и акциями не раскрывается.

Стратегическое значение сделки

Это приобретение позволит Talos интегрировать в свою платформу обширные данные блокчейн-аналитики, эталонные индексы и аналитические инструменты Coin Metrics. Антон Кац, соучредитель и генеральный директор Talos, подчеркнул, что сделка отвечает растущему спросу клиентов на комплексные решения, охватывающие весь инвестиционный цикл — от торговли и управления портфелем до глубокой аналитики.

«Институциональные инвесторы всё чаще требуют полного спектра услуг для работы с цифровыми активами, — заявил Кац. — Объединение наших технологий и команд создаст уникальную платформу с беспрецедентными возможностями».

Тим Райс, соучредитель и генеральный директор Coin Metrics, отметил, что будущее цифровых активов требует мощной инфраструктуры, способной поддерживать институциональные операции на всех этапах — от торговли до управления рисками.

История экспансии Talos

Покупка Coin Metrics стала крупнейшей, но не единственной сделкой Talos в последние годы. В 2023 году компания приобрела платформу для формирования портфелей D3X Systems, а в 2024 году — риск-менеджер Cloudwall и институциональную DeFi-платформу Skolem. Финансовые детали этих сделок не разглашались.

Несмотря на сложные рыночные условия и регуляторную неопределённость в США, Talos успешно привлекала инвестиции: $40 млн в 2021 году от Andreessen Horowitz и $105 млн в 2022 году при участии Stripes, что оценило компанию в $1,3 млрд. Среди ключевых инвесторов — BNY Mellon, PayPal, Citi и Wells Fargo Strategic Capital.

Кац выразил уверенность, что смена администрации в США ускорит приход крупных финансовых институтов в криптовалютный сектор:

«Сложно назвать крупный финансовый институт, с которым мы бы не вели переговоры».

Общий тренд на консолидацию в индустрии

Сделка Talos соответствует общей тенденции усиления активности M&A в криптоиндустрии. Ранее на этой неделе токийская Metaplanet объявила о переговорах по приобретению контрольного пакета SGA с последующим переходом компании на стратегию управления биткоинами. В мае Robinhood договорилась о покупке канадской WonderFi за $179 млн, а Alchemy приобрела платформу для запуска NFT HeyMint.

Lao Huang: Prompt is Dead, the Entire AI Community is Frenziedly Chasing Loops

The article "Prompt is Dead: The AI Industry is Obsessively Chasing Loops" discusses a major shift in AI development, where "Loop Engineering" is replacing traditional prompt engineering. Industry leaders like NVIDIA's Jensen Huang, Andrew Ng, and engineers from Anthropic and OpenAI argue that manually crafting prompts is becoming obsolete. Instead, the new focus is on designing autonomous, self-improving AI systems (loops) that can operate 24/7. A loop system typically involves five key phases: Discovery (finding tasks), Handoff (assigning to agents), Validation (critical independent review), Persistence (saving progress), and Scheduling (automated operation). The core idea is to move humans from being the operational "engine" to being the system "architects" who design the loop, define goals, and set up verification mechanisms. A major challenge and necessity is implementing robust, independent validation to prevent AI from uncritically approving its own work. The trend is seen as part of a move towards "inference-time compute," where allocating computational budget effectively becomes a key engineering skill. While loops can produce higher-quality outputs, they are more expensive and time-consuming than simple prompting. The article warns of risks like "verification debt," "comprehension corrosion," and "cognitive surrender," where engineers might stop understanding the code their systems generate. Ultimately, the article concludes that in an era of automated loops, human judgment and oversight remain the most critical and scarce resources.

GPT-5.6 Suffers 'Brain Surgery', Fable 5's Return to Be a Weaker Version?

GPT-5.6 and Fable 5 Face "Lobotomization" and Restrictions OpenAI has launched its new GPT-5.6 model in three limited tiers: Sol (advanced), Terra (balanced), and Luna (fast/economical). However, access to the most powerful Sol version is severely restricted, reportedly due to U.S. government intervention over safety concerns linked to its capabilities. Similarly, Anthropic's Fable 5 was globally disabled for 72 hours after a demonstration revealed its potential to exploit security vulnerabilities. It is now set to return in a heavily restricted "neutered" version for select partners only. Industry experts warn that such stringent safety "guardrails" could lead to "lobotomized" models with diminished intelligence and creativity. Developers are concerned about restricted access, potential extra costs, and models that no longer match their original promised capabilities. This marks a shift towards controlled access, contrasting with the earlier era of widely available, powerful AI.

Anthropic's Latest Report Reveals Global Workers' Patterns: Seeking Sleep at 5 AM, Asking for Recipes at 6 PM

A new report from Anthropic analyzes millions of hourly user interactions with Claude AI, revealing detailed patterns in daily life and work. The data shows distinct rhythms: people most frequently ask about sleep help around 5 AM, seek news at 7 AM, and search for dinner recipes at 6 PM—the day's single largest query spike. Usage sharply diverges between weekdays and weekends. Workdays are dominated by professional tasks like business emails and coding (backend, APIs). Weekends see a surge in personal use—nearly 50% of conversations—focused on emotional support, creative writing (especially fan fiction), medical advice, and side projects like AI agent design or game development. Weekend "entrepreneurial" queries peak globally, while job-hunting activity drops. The report introduces "artifact" analysis, finding 93% of conversations produce a tangible output (explanation, document, code, etc.). Blog posts are 81% work-related, while creative writing is over 80% personal. High-wage professionals (e.g., marketing managers, programmers) use Claude more intensively outside work hours, with longer conversations, more tokens consumed, and greater use of deep thinking features compared to lower-wage roles. Interestingly, Claude's responses typically register at a higher reading level than user prompts (by about one educational year on average), except for audience-focused writing like emails or blogs where the gap nearly disappears. The data also captures specific cultural moments, like an 8x spike in tax-related queries on the U.S. filing deadline. Precise hourly data transforms fragmented queries into a collective diary of modern life—mapping not just economic activity, but also cycles of anxiety, creativity, and daily rhythm, with AI acting as both a productivity tool and an intimate, always-available confidant.

Bitcoin and gold decline together – ‘Haven’t seen before,’ says strategist

Market strategist Charlie Bilello notes that 2026 has been a historically unique year, with both Bitcoin and gold declining significantly—Bitcoin down 31% and gold down 6%—making them the worst-performing major asset classes. This simultaneous drop, not observed in any previous calendar year, suggests investors are reducing exposure to both traditional and alternative stores of value. The trend is attributed to a mix of factors including sustained high interest rates, geopolitical conflicts, and increased crypto hacks. Bitcoin's price fell 43% over the past year to around $60,237, while gold saw a 33% increase to about $4,072. The correlation between the two assets, which was low or negative for much of the period, turned strongly positive by June 2026 as gold also began to decline. Historically, Bitcoin and gold have often moved inversely during market stress, but 2026 shows a break from that pattern, with both assets under significant pressure.

Margin Exhausted, "Brother Huang Li Cheng" Begins Selling Monkeys at a Loss

Taiwanese crypto whale "Machi Big Brother" Jeffrey Huang has been forced to sell his prized Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs at significant losses to cover mounting losses from a highly leveraged ETH long position on Hyperliquid. Over the past month, Huang sold 34 BAYC NFTs for 326 ETH (approx. $514,000), realizing a loss of 399 ETH (approx. $631,000). The proceeds were transferred to Hyperliquid to replenish margin for his perpetual contract trades. One ape, BAYC #6057, bought for 76.84 ETH four years ago, was sold for just 7.65 ETH, a 90% loss in ETH terms. Huang began his high-leverage (25-40x) ETH long strategy in September 2025 when ETH was around $4,700. While his account once showed over $45 million in unrealized profit, the subsequent crash of ETH to the $1,600 range erased all gains. As of June 26, his cumulative losses on Hyperliquid reached $33.85 million, with over 335 liquidations earning him the community nickname "King of Liquidations." With conventional funds depleted, Huang's once-valuable NFT collection, which at its peak included around 200 BAYCs and was worth tens of millions, has become a lifeline. His remaining ~150 BAYCs, valued at roughly $1.6 million at current floor prices, provide only limited runway for his persistent high-stakes trading. Huang rose to prominence in crypto as a key figure in popularizing BAYC NFTs in Asia during the 2021 bull market. His pivot to perpetual contracts has now led to a cycle where his iconic "monkeys" are being sold to fund a failing trading strategy.
