With Anixa’s strong balance sheet and excess cash, this strategic decision aims to diversify the Company’s treasury holdings while positioning Anixa to benefit from the potential long-term value of digital assets.

The Company also reaffirmed its ongoing stock buyback program as part of its commitment to enhancing shareholder value.

“We are pleased to add this asset class as an investment option for us. We are thrilled that both of our clinical trials—a breast cancer vaccine (NCT04674306), and an ovarian cancer therapy treating recurrent and resistant patients (NCT05316129)—have produced results that have exceeded our expectations. We are proud of our strategy to move our trials forward, while burning relatively low levels of cash. Our decision about Bitcoin is an additional approach to prudent financial management, enabling greater shareholder value,” said Dr. Amit Kumar, CEO of Anixa.

“As we continue to execute on our mission of advancing life-changing cancer therapies, we are also focused on creating long-term financial value for our shareholders,” said Mike Catelani, President and CFO of Anixa. “With Bitcoin‘s growing recognition as a mainstream asset class, we believe it represents a valuable addition to our treasury reserve strategy. The approval of Bitcoin ETFs and increasing participation from institutional investors highlight its rising importance in global markets. Its unique inflation-resistant qualities and potential as a reliable store of value aligns with our goal of optimizing long-term financial stability and growth. Combined with our stock buyback program, this initiative reflects our confidence in the Company’s growth trajectory and our dedication to delivering shareholder returns.”

Project Liberty, Consensys, and Frequency Network Foundation Announce Major Partnership to Develop Internet Infrastructure that Prioritizes Digital Freedoms

This post was originally published on this site

The teams are working together to establish an internet built on the principles of user control, digital sovereignty, and community-driven governance.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Project Liberty, an organization helping people to take back control of their digital lives by reclaiming a voice, choice, and stake in a better internet; Consensys, the leading blockchain and Web3 software company; and the Frequency Network Foundation, an organization dedicated to development, support, and growth of the Frequency blockchain and ecosystem, announced a partnership to develop infrastructure for a more people-centered internet.


Project Liberty Logo (PRNewsfoto/Project Liberty)

Through this alliance, these three organizations will collaborate on multiple technical integrations with the goal of expanding interoperability and scalability. Aligned in their mission to offer an upgraded internet, the collaboration intends to return agency to individuals, prevent their data from being parceled off, tracked, and sold; and enable individuals to take back control of their online sovereignty from Big Tech.

This collaboration will facilitate Frequency’s expansion into the Ethereum ecosystem and EVM compatibility making use of Consensys’ technology. Specifically, joint development teams are investigating leveraging the technology stack of Linea, the zkEVM Layer 2 network empowering the world to live onchain. Dedicated teams are also exploring “EVM based” Frequency integration with MetaMask, the self-custodial digital wallet and Web3 gateway developed by Consensys, to bring a broader range of social capabilities to the wider Web3 community. Anchored by Project Liberty’s dedication to digital democracy, the collaboration aims to initiate a new era for the digital world: one rooted in freedom, privacy, and community. It’s a revolutionary vision that shifts the power dynamics of the internet as we know it.

At the heart of this initiative is the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), an open data standard that allows for secure, user-centered data interoperability. Frequency is a DSNP-compliant blockchain that makes it possible for users to carry their digital identities and data across platforms, without surrendering control to one specific platform. In a Frequency-powered world, individuals are not bound to a single platform but can navigate the web freely and securely, maintaining complete autonomy over their online personas across multiple platforms.

A Vision for Digital Democracy

For Project Liberty, this partnership is more than a technological shift; it’s part of a broader digital renaissance. Project Liberty was born from a belief that the internet should serve as a public good, a place where people can express themselves freely, connect without fear, and exercise autonomy over their personal data. Through this alliance with Project Liberty, Consensys and the Frequency Network Foundation, that vision is coming to life.

“We’re at a tipping point for the future of the internet,” said Frank McCourt, Founder of Project Liberty. “With Consensys and the Frequency Network Foundation, we’re building an internet that empowers people. This is evidence that we are no longer allowing a handful of companies to continue exploiting and controlling our digital lives, instead we are providing a solution that gives people back their agency and a true stake in the digital ecosystem.”

“Our social graphs in the Web3 era will be a profound extension and expression of our identities, interests, and ultimately our reputations,” said Joe Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and CEO and Founder of Consensys. “The Web3 generation of social networking will put the user at the center, giving them full control and ownership of the core elements of their life. We are excited to collaborate with Project Liberty and the Frequency Network Foundation to drive this vision”.

Additionally, by collaborating with Consensys to expand into the Ethereum ecosystem, Project Liberty and the Frequency Network Foundation aim to bring the benefits of data ownership and transparent digital governance to a growing number of online citizens who want to reclaim a voice, choice, and stake in a better internet.

About Project Liberty
Project Liberty is leading the movement to give people back control of their lives in the digital age by ensuring they have a voice, choice, and stake in a better internet. Started in 2019 and publicly launched in 2021 by civic entrepreneur Frank McCourt and supported by a $500-million commitment, Project Liberty includes the work of the Project Liberty Institute—a 501(c)(3) with an international partner network that includes Georgetown University, Stanford University, ETH in Zurich, and other leading academic institutions and civic organizations—and a technological team that is focused on developing the next generation of digital infrastructure. Project Liberty’s activities include the release of the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), which is stewarded by the Institute and available as a public utility to serve as the bedrock of a more equitable web and support a new era of innovation that empowers people over platforms and serves the common good.

About Consensys
Consensys is the leading blockchain and web3 software company. Since 2014, Consensys has been at the forefront of innovation, pioneering technological developments within the web3 ecosystem. Through our product suite, including the MetaMask platform, Infura, Linea, Diligence, and our NFT toolkit Phosphor, we have become the trusted collaborator for users, creators, and developers on their path to build and belong in the world they want to see.

Consensys inspires and champions the builder instinct in everyone by making web3 universally easy to use and develop on. To explore our products and solutions, visit https://consensys.io/.

About Frequency

It provides the infrastructure for creating self-sovereign digital identities, public social graphs, and decentralized content sharing, advancing data privacy and user control. Brands, developers, and platforms can use Frequency to integrate scalable, interoperable social features without the need for deep expertise in blockchain. This implementation of DSNP is aligned with Project Liberty’s mission to give people control over their digital lives while fostering innovation in decentralized technology.

Quantoz Payments Issues Euro and US Dollar Stablecoins; Receives Backing from Major Crypto-Asset Firms

This post was originally published on this site

Quantoz Payments to receive investment from Fabric Ventures, Kraken and Tether

UTRECHT, The Netherlands, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Quantoz Payments B.V. (Quantoz), the Netherlands headquartered payments technology company, is pleased to announce that it will start issuing two stablecoins EURQ and USDQ, designed to be MiCAR Compliant, on Monday 18th November.

Quantoz Payments

EURQ and USDQ are respectively euro and US dollar-referenced E-Money Tokens (EMTs), issued on the Ethereum blockchain by Quantoz, an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) authorised and supervised by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), the Dutch Central Bank.

The new EMTs will facilitate euro and US dollar transfers and payments in secondary markets as well as transfers across digital asset and crypto exchanges. Fiat-referencing stablecoins on blockchains can enable digital and decentralised payments that are faster, more transparent, secure and cheaper when compared to existing payment infrastructure.

Bitfinex and Kraken, two of the world’s longest standing and most secure crypto-asset exchanges, plan to be the first to list EURQ and USDQ for trading to eligible clients on Thursday 21st November. 

Arnoud Star Busmann, CEO of Quantoz Payments, said:

“We are thrilled to bring to market truly European-native stablecoins, available on respected venues for European consumers and corporations, issued by a company with its roots in the Netherlands, one of Europe’s leading fintech jurisdictions. The MiCA regulation brings a new level of trust to digital assets markets, not least through its prudential requirements on the issuers of stablecoins. As the world of payments becomes more digital, having well-regulated, transparent and fully backed stablecoins is critical to enabling faster, cheaper and more secure settlement within the world’s largest single market.”

A group of investors including Fabric Ventures, Kraken and Tether are underlining their support for Quantoz by investing in the company.

Anil Hansjee, General Partner at Fabric Ventures, said:

“Europeans speak loudly about MICAR making stablecoin issuance seamless in Europe and whilst there are clearer rules, there are very few players that can pull it off at scale. Think regulatory licenses, tier 1 banking partners with adequate liquidity ratios and balance sheets, blockchain expertise, state of the art and scalable compliance onboarding, on chain transaction monitoring, treasury and risk management, security DNA, let alone an ability to convince major European exchanges to list you and market makers to provide liquidity, as well as dApps to build use cases around you. Quantoz Payments have achieved all this and brought all the right components to the table to succeed. Fabric Ventures are delighted to be participating in this partnership and in an investment thesis that sits firmly at the intersection of our expertise in payments and crypto.”

Mark Greenberg, VP of Product & GM of Consumer at Kraken, said:

“Stablecoins are the backbone of crypto, reshaping the way people connect traditional finance with the decentralized world. We’re pumped to join this investment round and team up with industry partners to push the mission of crypto adoption forward.” 

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether said:

“Our support for Quantoz highlights Tether’s commitment to fostering innovative and regulated solutions within the digital asset landscape. By supporting Quantoz and bringing technology solutions like Hadron by Tether, we reinforce our dedication to expanding reliable, compliant financial tools that empower users and build trust across the digital ecosystem.”

Arnoud Star Busmann, CEO at Quantoz Payments, added:

“Quantoz is an established digital payments technology company in the heart of the European Union and started issuing EURD earlier this year, another euro-backed stablecoin focused on e-money solutions for consumer payment ecosystems as well as treasury management for corporates.

“The support through this investment round from some of the best businesses in digital assets will enable us to provide a timely solution for digital asset markets as well as unlock the benefits of blockchain based money for more traditional use cases. We are excited to be partnering with them on this journey.”

The amount of EURQ and USDQ in circulation is fully backed 1-to-1 by fiat reserves and highly liquid financial instruments such as government bonds. These reserves are managed by an independent foundation, subject to strict DNB oversight and are placed in segregated accounts with Tier 1 banks. In addition to the requirement of maintaining 100% reserves to fully back all circulating assets, Quantoz is also required to hold an additional 2% on its own balance sheet as part of its obligations under MiCAR.

About Quantoz Payments

Founded in 2015, Quantoz N.V. is a financial technology company. Its subsidiary, Quantoz Payments, was founded in 2021 and issues USDQ, a US dollar backed E-Money Token (EMT) and two euro-backed EMTs, EURQ and EURD, within the European Economic Area. These EMTs facilitate fast, cheap, transparent and secure blockchain technology based payments.

Incorporated in the Netherlands, the Company holds an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from the Dutch supervisory authority, the Dutch Central Bank. The funds received in exchange for the e-money tokens are held by Stichting Quantoz, a bankruptcy remote entity, which ensures that these funds are safeguarded following the requirements of MiCAR. The e-money tokens in circulation are fully backed 1-to-1 with fiat and highly liquid financial instruments. In addition, the Company is required to hold at least an additional 2% of reserves on its balance sheet. Quantoz Payments and Stichting Quantoz are subject to prudential supervision by DNB.

Cango Inc. Completes Cash-Settled Acquisitions of Crypto Mining Assets

This post was originally published on this site

SHANGHAI, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) (“Cango” or the “Company”), a leading automotive transaction service platform in China, today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of on-rack crypto mining machines with an aggregate hashrate of 32 Exahash per second (“EH”) for a total purchase price of US$256 million in cash (the “Cash-Settled Transaction”) from Bitmain Technologies Georgia Limited and Bitmain Development Limited (together, “Bitmain”), a leading manufacturer of digital currency mining servers. The Company announced the Cash-Settled Transaction on November 6, 2024, together with its proposed acquisition of on-rack crypto mining machines with an aggregate hashrate of 18 EH from Golden TechGen Limited and certain other sellers for a total purchase price of approximately US$144 million, which will be paid through issuance of shares to the sellers by the Company (the “Share-Settled Transactions” and together with the Cash-Settled Transaction, the “Proposed Transactions”).

The Cash-Settled Transaction was consummated after the relevant closing conditions are satisfied. Based on further due diligence with the sellers, the Company and the sellers have concluded that no related sellers will sell U.S. assets with an aggregate value of US$119.5 million or more to the Company in the Proposed Transactions, and therefore the anti-trust filing and clearance in the U.S. is not required for the Proposed Transactions and the relevant closing condition is deemed to have been satisfied. As such, the Company and Bitmain closed the Cash-Settled Transaction through assignment to the Company of all hash computing power of the mining machines to be delivered in the Cash-Settled Transaction, and transfer of these machines’ ownership to the Company is expected to occur at a later stage as agreed by the parties.

Consensys: Infura’s Decentralized Infrastructure Network Moves to Launch as an EigenLayer AVS, After Adding Access to 12 Chains in its First Year

This post was originally published on this site

  • DIN Launches as an AVS at Devcon Bangkok 2024
  • 50+ partners offering connectivity to 12+ networks are already handling 100 million requests daily
  • New din.build website and DIN whitepaper now available

FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A year after announcing its initial list of providers building the public infrastructure for an improved internet, Consensys and Infura’s Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN) is now handling requests across a dozen blockchain networks. Today at the 2024 Devcon conference in Bangkok, DIN unveiled its plan to also launch as an EigenLayer AVS, marking a new chapter for connectivity and broader access to web3 across multiple blockchain networks.

DIN is a decentralized web3 API marketplace making web3 more accessible, reliable and efficient while providing a powerful new way for developers to connect to Ethereum and other top-tier blockchains. In 2024, new networks that have been decentralized by DIN include Blast L2, Mantle, Starknet, ZKsync, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), opBNB, and Scroll, providing developers new opportunities to build and scale their applications with significant infrastructure support.

Launching DIN as an AVS through EigenLayer will allow web3 builders and operators to tap into the security guarantee of staked ETH and the intersubjective nature of EIGEN to run a wide array of services. By harnessing the power of restaking and supporting infrastructure, DIN can further expand its decentralized infrastructure offerings to foster a more robust and resilient Ethereum ecosystem.

Less than a year after launching in its initial federated phase, over 40 of the 50 providers in DIN have been tested and over a quarter are serving traffic. This progress reflects the pioneering network’s progressive shift towards decentralization and its expansion into a permissionless marketplace and service discovery layer for web3, simplifying the launch of new services across additional web3 gateways.

“This is an important step in DIN building on-chain,” said Tom Hay, head of product for Infura DIN. “By leaning on Ethereum‘s economic security through EigenLayer, we continue to build on DIN’s steady progress creating a web3 permissionless marketplace for infrastructure services.”

DIN’s progress is a significant milestone in Consensys and Infura’s ongoing efforts to foster decentralized internet infrastructure. 

“Consensys has been a pioneer in building crypto user experiences, dev tooling and infrastructure, and has played an instrumental role in growing Ethereum,” says Sreeram Kannan, founder of EigenLayer. “We are delighted that Consensys and Infura are joining the EigenLayer ecosystem to enable Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN), the leading web3 rpc marketplace, to leverage Ethereum‘s economic security using EigenLayer. Building DIN as an EigenLayer AVS enables permissionless infrastructure provision, thus scaling the marketplace while simultaneously increasing reliability and reducing costs – another step forward in our mission of driving open innovation”

Why DIN Matters

The cooperative and competitive dynamics among DIN Providers drive down development costs and improve access to decentralized Web3 gateways. Taking a decentralized approach offers developers greater connectivity to emerging blockchain networks at a lower cost with increased reliability. DIN allows web3 gateway providers to simultaneously compete and cooperate, which means ultimately everyone wins, including users.
DIN providers collaborate on key components like router, node infrastructure kits, and payments, scaling decentralized RPC solutions for builders. Simultaneously, DIN provides a vital new solution for emerging blockchain networks looking to scale.
