Gensyn, a blockchain-based AI compute protocol, has closed a $43 million Series A funding round.

A16z, a leading venture capital firm, has led a $43 million Series A fundraising round for Gensyn, a provider of blockchain-based computing resources for AI platforms.The protocol created by the U.K.-based business enables programmers to create AI systems on smaller data centers, gaming machines, and other connected gear while also allowing for on-demand payment.Gensysn makes use of a cryptographic verification network that enables users to verify the accuracy of machine learning work shared across a protocol without the need for middlemen. According to a news statement from Gensysn on Monday (UTC), co-founder Ben Fielding, “the realization of its (AI’s) potential requires huge computational power.”We’re harnessing the electricity of the new age and making it available to everyone at unlimited scale and fair market prices.”According to Fielding, having such broad accessibility was “essential” for preventing the development of dangerously biased technology that served the majority while being created by the minority. Allowing everyone in the world to contribute to AI development is the key to useful, aligned AI.Harry Grieve, a co-founder of Gensyn, added in the statement that “with decentralized networks, value simply accrues to the network as a function of supply and demand.” He added that by linking previously underutilized hardware from throughout the world, “it also sharply increases the amount of compute supply. “The development comes at a time when interest in AI is on the rise and could potentially change how organizations in a variety of sectors, including media, retail, manufacturing, and financial services, conduct their operations.A $1 trillion valuation was attained by computer chipmaker Nvidia last month.  Nvidia’s products are essential for the graphics processing units (GPUs) at the center of AI systems. With its most recent round, Gensyn raised more than $50 million. The company stated that it will utilize the additional funding to hasten the adoption of the protocol and to hire more protocol and machine learning engineers.A16z was joined in the round by renowned investment companies CoinFund, Canonical Crypto, Protocol Labs, Eden Block, as well as a number of venture capitalists and angel investors with an interest in AI and cryptocurrencies. In a statement, a16z crypto General Partner Ali Yahya stated, “The recent advancements in AI are incredible, but substantial computational power requirements give big technology companies an advantage over startups in the race to capture AI’s value.”“We look forward to partnering with Gensyn to make infrastructure for AI much more widely accessible,” the authors write. “We believe nobody combines the knowledge and cultural understanding of both the AI and crypto cypherpunk worlds better than Gensyn.”

A16z decides to open its first office outside of the United States in London.

In order to encourage entrepreneurs to embrace decentralization, venture capital juggernaut Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) chose London as the location for its first office outside of the United States.A16z, based in Menlo Park, California, wants to use the office, which will open later this year and be run by Sriram Krishnan, to invest in the startup and cryptocurrency ecosystem in the U.K. and Europe, it announced on Sunday.The company also mentioned its recent investments in British businesses, including leading a $43 million Series A funding round for blockchain-based computing resources for artificial intelligence (AI) platform provider Gensyn, which was also disclosed on Sunday. A16z’s decision comes as the U.K.’s regulatory future for cryptocurrencies is becoming more clear.The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Crypto Assets supports the government’s plan to integrate cryptocurrencies within the framework of already-existing financial services regulation.The House of Commons Treasury Select Committee disagrees, arguing that cryptocurrency should be treated like gambling. The industry has reacted negatively to such plan. Although there is still work to be done, we think the U.K. is headed in the right direction for becoming a leader in cryptocurrency regulation, according to a16z.“It is home to highly sophisticated, world-class regulators, some of the largest financial markets and capital pools in the world, and more ‘unicorns’ than Germany, France, and Sweden put together.”The move was praised by Rishi Sunak, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, who said,  “We must embrace new innovations like Web3, powered by blockchain technology, which will enable start-ups to flourish here and grow the economy.” A privately held startup with a valuation of at least $1 billion is called a unicorn.A16z stated that it is still very substantially invested in the United States and that it will keep advocating for regulatory clarity for cryptocurrency entrepreneurs.

SEC Crypto Crackdown Increases Pressure on US Lawmakers to Create Regulatory Framework This Year

U.S. lawmakers must develop “a comprehensive framework on how to regulate the crypto industries and the relative responsibilities of SEC vs. the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC),” JPMorgan (JPM) stated in a research report released on Thursday. This is because the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase.According to the SEC, the majority of cryptocurrencies should be classified as securities, which means that most crypto firms and trading should be subject to its oversight and adhere to the same legal frameworks as traditional securities, according to the article. According to analysts lead by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, this is not a “straightforward legal case,” and it is unclear whether cryptocurrencies would be categorized as securities.This ambiguity in the law is evident in the SEC v. Ripple case.On grounds of alleged violations of federal securities laws, the regulator announced last week that it was suing Binance, Binance founder and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, and the operating business for Binance.US.A day later, it brought a similar lawsuit against Coinbase (COIN), a competing exchange.The actions are “increasing the urgency for US lawmakers to develop a thorough regulatory framework by this year,” according to JPMorgan. Cryptocurrency activity will probably keep migrating to decentralized entities and locations outside the United States until this happens.The bank predicted that funding for cryptocurrency venture capital will likely stay low.The majority of cryptocurrencies would be considered as securities and Coinbase, Binance.US, and other U.S. exchanges would be required to register as brokers if lawmakers agree with the SEC’s position, according to the letter.While this might be more “onerous and costly” for the business, it would have some benefits because crypto markets would be properly regulated and provide more transparency and investor protection, the letter stated. The SEC’s actions from last week have raised questions about several other layer 1 tokens that are claimed to be securities, favoring bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH), the bank claimed.

FTX has been given permission to “permanently redact” the names of specific clients.

According to reports, bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX has been given permission to completely obliterate all client names from court documents, while sealing company and institutional investor names on a “temporary basis.”The list of FTX clients has recently come under pressure from numerous major media organizations, who claim that the public and press have a “presumptive right of access to bankruptcy filings.”However, FTX has continually rejected these demands, claiming that publishing the names might put these people in danger and perhaps reduce the cryptocurrency exchange’s market value. Judge John Dorsey of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware authorized FTX to “permanently redact” the identities of specific customers from all filings for their security, according to a June 9 Reuters story.Individual customers “are the most important issue in this case,” according to Dorsey, who also said, “We want to make sure they are safe and aren’t taken advantage of by any scams.”While acknowledging the possibility of frauds and identity theft for specific people if their names were made public, Dorsey doesn’t think businesses and institutional investors would be at the same danger. Dorsey agreed to allow the removal of these organizations from the list on a “temporary basis,” with FTX being required to submit a fresh request in 90 days to protect the privacy of those persons.Even if businesses and institutional investors do not face the same dangers as private investors, it was emphasized that if FTX were to sell the exchange or client list independently, the identities of these groups might still be quite valuable. A member of the FTX restructuring team and partner at Parella Weinberg, Kevin Cofsky argued in court on June 8 that disclosing customer identities “would be detrimental” to the restructuring operations. In addition, Cofsky claimed that disclosing the information “would impair the debtor’s ability to maximize the value that it currently possesses.” He said that creditors would be able to get a cut of trading fees even if the exchange wasn’t sold and FTX were to be restarted. A group of non-American FTX clients asserted in December 2022 that revealing the clients’ names to the public “would cause irreparable harm, further victimizing” the clients whose assets “were misappropriated.”The four media companies involved in the case—Bloomberg, Dow Jones, The New York Times, and the Financial Times—remain certain that the list should be made public notwithstanding any potential hazards to customers. It was stated in the second joint objection, which was submitted on May 3, that such disclosure wouldn’t put creditors at “undue risk.”

Despite SEC monitoring, a Hong Kong lawmaker encourages Coinbase to the region

A Hong Kong legislator has urged Coinbase and other cryptocurrency exchanges to open offices in the city, praising the city’s progressive position on cryptocurrencies.Johnny Ng, a member of the legislative council, posted on Twitter to offer support and help to “all global virtual asset trading operators,” including Coinbase.He also made some possible stock listing suggestions.This follows recent legal actions by the US Securities and Exchange Commission against important market participants including Binance and Coinbase.Hong Kong has adopted a proactive position toward cryptocurrencies in contrast to the cautious stance of several Western nations.Paul Chan, the financial secretary for Hong Kong, stated in January 2023 that the government was committed to building a solid ecosystem for cryptocurrencies and fintech.Hong Kong has therefore been diligently creating rules and putting in place compliance procedures. A retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) will soon be introduced, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) recently announced its intention to lay the framework for this.This effort, which was unveiled on June 9, aims to improve client access to cryptocurrency exchanges and look into the benefits of CBDCs as a method of payment for regular transactions. Ng’s invitation demonstrates Hong Kong’s commitment to developing into a digital hub for the cryptocurrency industry.Among the first cryptocurrency exchanges to apply for licenses as virtual asset service providers in the area were OKX and Huobi. Reputable multinational IT companies are also interested in Hong Kong because of its positive attitude toward cryptocurrency. A Bitcoin futures active exchange-traded fund will be launched on the Stock Exchange in Hong Kong, according to a January announcement from South Korean technology giant Samsung. Furthermore, news broke in mid-February that Chinese government representatives were giving their strategic blessing to Hong Kong’s pro-crypto measures. The significance of Hong Kong’s efforts in the crypto field and their potential impact on the larger digital currency ecosystem are further highlighted by this acknowledgement from Chinese officials.

Amidst SEC lawsuits, a US lawmaker updates efforts to regulate cryptocurrency

The need of promoting a favorable legal environment for cryptocurrencies, according to United States Senator Cynthia Lummis, is increased by their quick development and rising use. Crypto Twitter applauded Lummis for her dedication to creating a legal framework that will make it easier for Americans to own and trade digital assets.She brought up the anticipated bill in a tweet that serves as a reminder that it was meant to be released in April.Lummis has been working on a bipartisan movement to suggest stringent rules for cryptocurrency with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.This year, Congress is expected to make substantial headway on the impending legislation endeavor, which will provide an essential foundation for the quickly developing digital asset market. The politician praised her party’s accomplishment in blocking the inclusion of a 30% tax on digital asset mining in the most recent debt ceiling agreement in a tweet.Lummis noted that there is still much work to be done in order to create an open regulatory system for the cryptocurrency industry.The proposed bill seeks to accomplish a number of goals, including a precise definition of cryptocurrencies and perhaps a removal of the “security” label. The legislation aims to build a stable framework for businesses and investors in the cryptocurrency market by defining a clear classification for tokens.The initiative will alleviate regulatory uncertainty, encourage innovation, and support responsible sector growth.Gillibrand has emphasized the value of being thorough. The amended bill will set forth clear instructions on the steps required to obtain tokens, creating a complete framework that covers various facets of tokenization.According to the proposed regulation, algorithmic stablecoins will be outlawed globally.However, more thought must go into deciding which organizations are permitted to issue stablecoins and what is needed to keep U.S. dollar reserves.

Securities Watchdog Orders Nigerian Branch of Binance to Stop “Illegal” Operations

According to a Friday directive from the regional Securities and Exchange Commission, Binance’s Nigerian branch has been told to stop all operations immediately.The notice stated that Binance Nigeria Limited’s operations in Nigeria were unlawful since it was neither registered with nor subject to regulation by the Commission.Nigeria’s order comes after a complaint filed last Monday by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by market capitalization. SEC said the exchange had failed to register as a broker or exchange and had marketed and sold unregistered securities to the general public. This appears to be the first action taken by the regulator against a significant exchange platform, despite the SEC of Nigeria having previously said that it considered all crypto assets to be securities by default.Bloomberg reported in May that the nation’s SEC was handling registration applications from crypto companies on a trial basis but would not begin doing so formally until it had secured an agreement with the nation’s central bank.It is against the law for banks in the nation to provide services to cryptocurrency platforms. The Commission shall engage with other regulators in Nigeria to provide more guidance on this topic and shall provide updates on any additional regulatory actions with respect to the operations of Binance Nigeria Limited and any comparable platforms, according to Friday’s ruling.

Prior to SEC lawsuits, Binance’s BNB Token saw millions of sell orders.

Before the significant SEC raid against cryptocurrency exchange Binance on June 5, some traders apparently placed well-timed sell orders for BNB tokens.In the hours before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Binance, the BNB/USDT order book on Binance experienced a spike in aggregated sell orders of around 125,000 BNB worth $37 million during 11:45 p.m. UTC on June 4 and 1:45 a.m. UTC on June 5. According to Coinalyze, BNB’s open interest, or the total amount of outstanding derivative contracts held by investors, also climbed in the first nine hours of June 5 by approximately $30 million. This occurred also before the 11:15 am news of the SEC’s alleged violations. An increase in open interest shows that more traders are entering the market and opening new positions rather than liquidating existing ones.In the hour following the SEC’s attack on Binance on Monday, the price of BNB, the native token for the Binance ecosystem that the SEC claims is a security, fell more than 9% from $300 to $272. Following the disclosure of the SEC’s lawsuit against Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, crypto traders who bet that the price of Binance’s BNB token would fall before June 5 at 11:15 am have benefited greatly from the price action of BNB. Requests for comment on the transactions made prior to the SEC filing lawsuits against the cryptocurrency exchange were not answered by an SEC representative.

After taking over eight or more well-known cryptocurrency Twitter accounts, scammers steal around $1 million.

Scammers have used more than eight Twitter identities belonging to well-known personalities in the cryptocurrency industry over the past several weeks to spread phishing scams.According to blockchain investigator ZachXBT, the organization has so far stolen cryptocurrency valued at close to $1 million.ZachXBT detailed his discovery of multiple “linked on chain” wallets tied to phishing schemes advocated by the recently compromised accounts in a thread on Twitter on June 9. While a SIM Swap caused the majority of these attacks, ZachXBT noticed that more accounts may have been potentially taken through a panel. The accounts belong to individuals including DJ and NFT collector Steve Aoki, founder of Pudgy Penguins Cole Villemain, and editor of Bitcoin Magazine Pete Rizzo.It’s very ironic that Peter Schiff, a staunch supporter of gold and a fierce opponent of cryptocurrencies, too had his account compromised in order to promote a bogus link regarding tokenized gold in decentralized finance.ZachXBT stated, “I hope Twitter Safety investigates each attack closely as they have resulted in almost seven figures being stolen,” and added:“Phishing scams are tweeted out practically instantly once the fraudster takes over a Twitter account.Some of these tweets have been available for many hours or even days as a result of Twitter Support’s slow response times. Instead of using two-factor authentication that relies solely on SMS, the blockchain detective advised users to employ security keys.Mira Murati, the chief technology officer of OpenAI, was the target of yet another account hack, as revealed by ZachXBT.Her account shared a phishing link on June 2 that advertised a phony airdrop for the ERC-20 token OPENAI, prompting complaints from the crypto community.Before it was removed, this post had been up for almost an hour and had received 79,600 views and 83 retweets.Notably, in order to prevent others from tweeting warnings, the scammers limited who could react to the tweet.The same kind of Twitter account attack that resulted in Arthur Madrid, co-founder and CEO of metaverse platform The Sandbox, being targeted also happened to him in late May.

The chief executive officer of the decentralized finance (DeFi) company Curve Finance, Michael Egorov, is being sued for fraud in the United States by the venture capital firms ParaFi Capital, Framework Ventures, and 1kx.According to a complaint lodged in the Superior Court of California, San Francisco, Egorov is accused of stealing trade secrets from the three venture capital firms and defrauding the firms out of almost $1 million while misleading the investors about the possibility of owning a stake in Curve. Egorov allegedly relocated to Switzerland to protect himself from the unavoidable legal repercussions, according to the April lawsuit.Since 2020, the three businesses have been suing Egorov and his company Swiss Stake in Switzerland for breach of contract.According to DeFi Llama, Curve Finance, a decentralized exchange built on the Ethereum blockchain, is one of the largest DeFi trading platforms with almost $4.07 billion in total locked value.A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), Curve is run by the CRV token, which may be purchased or earned by making contributions to its liquidity pools. According to the lawsuit, Egorov allegedly “engaged in a brazen, multi-faceted scheme to defraud” Framework Ventures, ParaFi Capital, and 1kx over a six-month period beginning in early 2020.Egorov allegedly “misappropriated” the companies’ “trade secrets,” according to the venture capitalists, including “information that proved to be critical to the development of Curve, such as key industry contacts, potential investors, and knowledge of how to manage an investment round – all while falsely promising that Plaintiffs would benefit from the fruits of their labor, not just Egorov.”Additionally, the VCs assert that Egorov offered to sell Plaintiffs shares of Swiss Stake for nearly $1 million (claiming that a total of $925,233.54 in USDC was paid to a wallet designated by Egorov), but had no intention of following through. In a filing on May 22, Egorov’s attorneys claimed that the claims of fraud stem from the dissolution of a contract between the VCs and Swiss Stake and that the allegedly misappropriated “trade secrets” were really the names of well-known investors.Swiss Stake allegedly made a prompt offer to repay the nearly $1 million invested funds, according to Egorov’s side.According to a May 22 filing by Egorov’s attorneys, “To explain their apparent forum shopping, Plaintiffs invented a new and convincing story casting Egorov as a terrible villain who deceived three naive VC companies into handing over “trade secrets.” The argument made against Egorov is “nothing more than a clever narrative,” according to his lawyers. It is sorry that this has come to the point of litigation, but we firmly feel the facts are on our side, according to a statement emailed to CoinDesk by the law firm Latham & Watkins on behalf of the three venture capital firms.The lawsuit speaks for itself in that regard.The goal of our clients is to hold Michael Egorov fully accountable for his actions.

World Mobile plans to launch in Africa after conducting decentralized wireless field tests.

World Mobile, a provider of decentralized wireless (DeWi) networks, announced on June 8 that it had completed field tests of its DeWi technology in Kenya, Mozambique, and Nigeria, bringing it closer to a full deployment across the African continent. The tests in Kenya and Mozambique, according to World Mobile, which strives to deliver affordable and dependable internet connectivity to rural areas that are typically underserved, were conducted using TV White Space equipment. This technology uses unused spectrum in the TV broadcast band to provide mobile network services.The field test in Nigeria made use of Starlink, a satellite internet service provided by SpaceX.The business claims that TV White Space and Starlink are complementary technologies that allow World Mobile to make use of currently available infrastructure and spectrum resources in order to increase the size of its network coverage. The tests “validate the feasibility and scalability of our DeWi technology, bringing us one step closer to providing affordable and dependable internet access to both rural and under-served areas throughout the world,” according to World Mobile CEO Micky Watkins.This news comes in the wake of World Mobile’s May commercial network launch in Zanzibar, where it claims more than 300 AirNodes offer wireless connectivity to more than 16,000 users per day. As part of its efforts to build “a global community-owned wireless network that can bridge the digital divide and foster social and economic inclusion,” the firm stated it would expand its network into other African nations as well as other regions. According to World Mobile, their DeWi solution offers connectivity for less money than traditional mobile network carriers and might support the development of “a sharing economy” to pay for the growth of telecommunications infrastructure in rural Africa and elsewhere. In contrast to conventional mobile networks, World Mobile is based on blockchain technology and aims to promote participation in what it refers to as “a sharing economy” by providing users with access to the trillion-dollar global telecom industry.

In a Series A investment round, HyperPlay raises $12 million.

Web3-native game launcher HyperPlay announced on June 8 that it had finished its Series A investment round after securing $12 million from backers, including co-leaders Griffin Gaming Partners and Bitkraft Ventures. ConsenSys, the parent firm of MetaMask, Ethereal Ventures, Delphi, Game7, Mirana Ventures, and Monoceros Ventures are some of the additional investors.The Web3 gaming interoperability challenge, according to HyperPlay, which was founded in November 2022 by MetaMask and Game7 DAO, is addressed “head-on” by its platform, which offers Web3 gaming interoperability and frees developers from being constrained by centralized organizations like Apple, Google, and Steam. According to the platform, it wants to make it possible for players to carry their MetaMask wallet inside native or browser-based games, enabling interoperability across all Web3 games. According to the company, HyperPlay’s game store now has over 33 Web3 games available.“Since announcing HyperPlay in November of last year, we’ve been focused on building a platform that empowers both developers and users to effortlessly navigate the Web3 gaming realm,” said JacobC.eth, the company’s creator.The platform claims to be a resource for both users and developers, and it claims that because of its “developer loyal” focus, it “charges no taxes on in-game economies, instead monetizing optional features like on-ramping or token swaps.” Users may bring their wallets, tokens, and nonfungible tokens (NFTs) into any native or browser game thanks to HyperPlay’s support for all chains that are compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine.Users won’t have to exit the game and visit another website to conduct NFT transactions thanks to the integration of an in-game wallet overlay in the HyperPlay launcher, according to the business.Blockchain gaming, also known as web3 gaming, employs distributed ledger technology to provide more openness, security, democratization, and user control over in-game resources. Web3 gaming accounted for nearly half of all blockchain transactions in 2022, according to a report by DappRadar. This places gaming far ahead of NFTs and decentralized finance (DeFi) as the industry with the fastest growth in the blockchain field.Another DappRadar analysis states that the sector continues to grow steadily in the first quarter of 2023, continuing its pace into 2023.Funding for blockchain gaming and metaverse initiatives totaled $739 million throughout that time.
