Animoca Brands Banks On Altcoins As It Eyes Nasdaq Next Year

Animoca Brands Banks On Altcoins As It Eyes Nasdaq Next Year

The post Animoca Brands Banks On Altcoins As It Eyes Nasdaq Next Year appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Animoca Brands founder Yat Siu aims to position his company as a vehicle for investors to gain exposure to broader crypto projects and the altcoin market, as the company plans to go public through a reverse merger next year. “We believe that altcoins, ultimately, over the largest space, are going to outperform Bitcoin as a collective,” Siu said during an interview with Cointelegraph on Wednesday. Siu compared Bitcoin (BTC) to gold, saying that while no single company is bigger than gold’s market capitalization, all public companies combined are “roughly five to six times gold.”  He said that while these companies may not have the same longevity as gold, they can go “up and down as a whole.” “We don’t join crypto because we want to hold Bitcoin, only holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset, but I don’t use it, right?” he said, emphasizing altcoins’ utility across the industry, from Web3 games to gas fees to DeFi and DePIN. Animoca wants to offer crypto equivalents to early Amazon, Google “All of these applications are actually altcoins, right in the classical definition, even, you know, to a lesser extent, but perhaps even more meaningfully, before, memecoins are also altcoins,” he said. Animoca Brands is eyeing a diversified altcoin treasury strategy. Source: Animoca Brands Siu compared Animoca’s investment approach to the kind of opportunity investors would have pursued in the early 2000s, the chance to invest across a wide group of the “biggest and most interesting” internet companies, such as Amazon, Google, eBay, and Alibaba.  “We feel that we’re pretty well positioned for that,” Siu said, adding that the crypto industry probably won’t have a “winner-takes-all” altcoin or project, unlike the early era of the internet.  Animoca Brands plans to capture some of the crypto winners He said that Animoca’s portfolio of investments…

How a $250 Investment Today Could Turn Into $200,000 in 5 Years

How a $250 Investment Today Could Turn Into $200,000 in 5 Years

The post How a $250 Investment Today Could Turn Into $200,000 in 5 Years appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is reshaping the crypto market, and few projects have captured investor attention as rapidly as Ozak AI ($OZ). The presale has shown an outstanding performance by crossing $4.46 million and selling over 1 billion tokens and has placed itself as one of the most promising blockchain-based AI ecosystems setting its foot into 2026. Some of the analysts have predicted that a minimum investment of even $250 can turn out to be $200,000 or even more by 2030.  Ozak AI’s Rising Momentum The current position of Ozak AI is at the intersection of artificial intelligence, decentralized computing, and blockchain innovation. The ecosystem offers features such as Prediction Agets, Ozak Stream Network, Ozak Datab Vaults, Decentralized Physical Infrastructure and even more.  As of the latest presale update, the current token price sits at $0.014, with the next phase leading directly to its exchange listing. The presale target price of $1.00 represents a 7,000% gain from current levels, even before the project’s long-term valuation milestones are factored in. The ROI Breakdown Let’s translate the projections into numbers: Investment: $250 Current Price: $0.014 per $OZ Tokens Purchased: 17,857 $OZ Value at $1.00: $17,857 Value at $5.00: $89,285 Value at $10.00: $178,570 If Ozak AI achieves the upper-range forecast of $10 per token by 2030, that same $250 could be worth over $178,000–$200,000, translating to an ROI exceeding 79,000%. While these numbers are ambitious, the foundation supporting Ozak AI’s growth potential — from its AI-focused utilities to presale traction — has given early investors strong conviction that the token could mirror the early growth stories of Solana, Cardano, and Avalanche during their breakout years. Driving Factors Behind Ozak AI’s Growth AI Meets Blockchain Utility Ozak AI isn’t just another meme or speculative token. It’s developing real-world applications that fuse machine…

SEC gives green light to second DePIN project

SEC gives green light to second DePIN project

The post SEC gives green light to second DePIN project appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Business > SEC gives green light to second DePIN project The United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a no-action letter to Fuse, a Solana-based decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) project, effectively signaling that the business model does not violate SEC rules, is not considered a security, and therefore does not require registration with the SEC. DePIN projects use blockchain technology to manage physical infrastructure assets, such as energy providers. Built by some of Revolut’s earliest employees, Alan Chang and Charles Orr, Fuse works by turning distributed energy infrastructure, such as rooftop solar panels, into a decentralized ‘grid’ which can be managed via the blockchain, giving operators “tokens” based on the energy contributed. The tokens can be redeemed in exchange for “Fuse Goods and Services,” such as rebates and discounts on infrastructure installation or even energy bills. This allows for a range of use cases, such as incentivizing users to use less electricity during peak periods. Fuse had written to the SEC on November 19, seeking confirmation that under their proposed business model, the SEC would not take any enforcement action against the project. The core concern was that the tokens being issued as part of the project might have been considered securities under SEC rules, which would impose a host of added obligations on the project. As such, much of the information Fuse submitted to the SEC concerned the utility of the tokens, making clear that they would be issued not as speculative vehicles but for specific purposes. “By ensuring the Token maintains real-world applicability, Fuse fosters an ecosystem where the value of the Tokens is derived from its consumptive use rather than speculative investment. As additional consumers join the Fuse network and introduce additional [distributed energy resources], the grid system becomes more…

Coinbase Premium Up, BTC Funding Red

Coinbase Premium Up, BTC Funding Red

The post Coinbase Premium Up, BTC Funding Red appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Now, Bitcoin’s exchange order books show reduced sell pressure, while Coinbase premium edges back after weeks of decline. Meanwhile, futures funding rates have turned slightly negative, pointing to easing imbalance between shorts and spot demand. Coinbase Ventures Targets Nine Crypto Sectors for 2026 Coinbase Ventures outlined nine cryptocurrency sectors it wants to fund in 2026, focusing on real-world assets, next-generation trading infrastructure, decentralized finance, privacy and machine-driven data. Coinbase Ventures 2026 Focus Areas. Source: Tim Haldorsson on X The firm highlighted real-world asset perpetual markets, describing the trend as the “perpification of everything.” At the same time, it pointed to alternative, prop-focused automated market makers and prediction market trading terminals as part of a broader push into specialized exchanges and new trading tools. Next, Coinbase Ventures emphasized composable perpetual markets and unsecured on-chain credit, signaling a focus on lending models that do not rely on traditional collateral. It also named on-chain privacy and proof-of-humanity frameworks as priorities, saying decentralized finance will increasingly mix with identity and privacy tools. Later, the firm added robotics data captured through DePIN incentives and AI agents for on-chain development, security and smart-contract engineering, expanding its thesis to machine and robotics data pipelines tied to blockchain. Bitcoin Funding Shows Fading Sell Pressure on Coinbase Coinbase premium for Bitcoin is returning while funding rates on major futures venues have turned negative, according to Daan Crypto Trades, signaling easing spot selling pressure after weeks of heavy outflows.
