#Tencent #GuillemotFamily #Ubisoft #Acquisition #Privatization #Shares #MarketValue #GamingIndustry
According to PANews, sources indicate that Tencent and the French Guillemot family are contemplating the acquisition of Ubisoft. The discussions are reportedly in the early stages and may not necessarily result in a transaction. One of the possibilities being considered is the privatization of the company through a joint effort. Ubisoft's European shares have declined by 54% this year, with a market value of approximately 1.4 billion euros (1.5 billion USD). As per Ubisoft's latest announcement, Tencent holds 9.2% of the net voting rights as of the end of April, while the Guillemot family owns around 20.5%. This news led to a 10% surge in Ubisoft's U.S. shares, prompting a trading halt. Spokespersons for Ubisoft and the Guillemot family declined to comment, and a representative from Tencent was not immediately available for comment.#Tencent #GuillemotFamily #Ubisoft #Acquisition #Privatization #Shares #MarketValue #GamingIndustry

🚀 Charlie Lee Highlights Litecoin's Privacy Features At Proof Of Work Summit
#CharlieLee #Litecoin #PrivacyFeatures #ProofOfWork #Bitcoin #Fungibility #OnchainAnalytics #CentralizedExchanges #KYC #PrivacyConcerns #BlockchainAdoption #SamouraiWallet #CoinJoin #Ashigaru #EY #Token2049 #LTC
According to Cointelegraph, Charlie Lee, the founder of Litecoin (LTC), addressed the Proof of Work Summit in Frankfurt, Germany, to discuss Litecoin's privacy-enhancing features compared to the Bitcoin (BTC) network's transparency. Lee emphasized that Bitcoin's unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) carry a history of transactions, which can compromise the fungibility of the digital asset. He explained that each Bitcoin is not equal to another due to its transaction history, which is a significant concern for money.
Lee provided a hypothetical scenario where an onchain analytics company labels a Bitcoin address linked to illicit activities. Such labels could deter investors or traders from accepting BTC associated with that address, potentially lowering the market value of those specific coins. Additionally, if these Bitcoins pass through centralized exchanges or institutions with Know Your Customer (KYC) controls, they could be frozen or seized by authorities like the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
The issue of privacy on the Bitcoin network is challenging but not insurmountable. On September 20, a group of developers announced a fork of the privacy-focused Samourai Wallet. The Ashigaru Open Source Project employs CoinJoin and other mechanisms to obscure Bitcoin transactions, building on the original Samourai team's work, although the new team has denied any connection to the previous developers.
Paul Brody, the global blockchain leader at EY, also highlighted the importance of privacy for blockchain adoption during Token2049. He noted that privacy is crucial for large institutions that need to keep certain information confidential. Businesses are willing to disclose their carbon savings but prefer not to reveal such data on a frequent basis.#CharlieLee #Litecoin #PrivacyFeatures #ProofOfWork #Bitcoin #Fungibility #OnchainAnalytics #CentralizedExchanges #KYC #PrivacyConcerns #BlockchainAdoption #SamouraiWallet #CoinJoin #Ashigaru #EY #Token2049 #LTC

🚀 Bitcoin Futures Liquidation May Indicate Local Bottom
#Bitcoin #Futures #Liquidation #LocalBottom #CryptoQuant #BearishSentiment #SellingPressure #PriceDrops #MarketRecovery #BuyingPressure #BTC
According to BlockBeats, on October 4, a CryptoQuant analyst suggested that the liquidation of long positions might have established a local bottom for Bitcoin. Despite the prevailing bearish sentiment and technical indicators pointing to further potential declines, the level of long position liquidations in the Bitcoin futures market indicates a reduction in selling pressure. During significant price drops, the number of contracts purchased often decreases sharply due to liquidations, thereby alleviating market selling pressure.
On October 1, over 4,000 BTC long positions were liquidated, marking the second-largest liquidation event of 2024 according to CryptoQuant data. Typically, these high-loss and liquidation moments form local bottoms, opening the door for short-term recovery. Currently, prices may remain within the current range in the short term, but the strength of buying pressure needs to be monitored to reverse the downtrend.#Bitcoin #Futures #Liquidation #LocalBottom #CryptoQuant #BearishSentiment #SellingPressure #PriceDrops #MarketRecovery #BuyingPressure #BTC
🚀 Bitwise To Launch Bitcoin And Treasuries Rotation Strategy ETF
#Bitwise #Bitcoin #Treasuries #ETF #CryptoFutures #InvestmentStrategy #MarketTrends #VolatilityManagement #CapitalAppreciation #Blockchain
According to CoinDesk, Bitwise is set to convert three of its futures-based exchange-traded products into a single fund named the Bitwise Trendwise Bitcoin and Treasuries Rotation Strategy ETF. This new fund will alternate between 100% exposure to crypto futures contracts and 100% exposure to U.S. Treasuries, depending on market trends. The conversion is scheduled for December 3, as announced by the asset manager.
Earlier this year, Bitwise joined the spot bitcoin ETF revolution, introducing a fund that now holds $2 billion in cryptocurrency. However, the subsequent introduction of exchange-traded funds for Ethereum's ether diminished interest in three older Bitwise products that provided bitcoin and ether exposure in a manner now considered less appealing. This led the company to merge these three funds, which held futures contracts tied to the cryptocurrencies, into a single product that incorporates U.S. Treasuries.
The new fund, Bitwise Trendwise Bitcoin and Treasuries Rotation Strategy ETF (BITC), combines the Bitwise Bitcoin Strategy Optm Roll ETF (BITC), Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF (AETH), and Bitwise Bitcoin and Eth Eq Wgh Str ETF (BTOP). Bitwise stated that the launch of spot bitcoin and ethereum ETFs has made futures-based crypto funds less attractive for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation.
With the new fund, Bitwise aims to better manage the volatility of the crypto market by rotating between crypto futures contracts and U.S. Treasuries based on market conditions. James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, noted that Bitwise is likely responding to client feedback and the demand for investment options that limit volatility and downside risks. The success of this strategy will be determined in the coming years, as timing the market remains a challenging endeavor. The new fund will charge investors a 0.85% expense ratio.#Bitwise #Bitcoin #Treasuries #ETF #CryptoFutures #InvestmentStrategy #MarketTrends #VolatilityManagement #CapitalAppreciation #Blockchain

🚀 Meta Unveils AI Model Movie Gen For Photorealistic Video Creation
#Meta #AI #MovieGen #photorealistic #videocreation #artificialintelligence #multimodal #humanTesting #safetyTesting #audioIntegration #innovation #technology
According to Cointelegraph, Meta has introduced a new suite of artificial intelligence models named 'Movie Gen' on October 4, capable of generating photorealistic movies up to 16 seconds long, complete with sound effects and backing music tracks. While not the first multimodal AI model to generate video and audio from text prompts, Movie Gen appears to demonstrate state-of-the-art capabilities. Researchers claim it outperformed rival systems in human testing.
Meta's blog post reveals that Movie Gen can output movies at a frame rate of 16 frames per second (FPS). For context, traditional Hollywood films were shot at 24 FPS to achieve the 'film look.' Although higher FPS rates are preferred in gaming and other graphical applications, Meta's 16 FPS is close to professional-quality movie imagery. The models can generate entirely new movies based on simple text prompts or modify existing images or videos to replace or alter objects and backgrounds.
One of the most advanced features of Movie Gen is its ability to generate up to 45 seconds of audio, including sound effects and background music, which is integrated and synced with the motion in the generated videos. Despite these advancements, Meta is keeping the foundation models behind Movie Gen under wraps for now. The company has not provided a timeframe for the product's launch, stating that further safety testing is required before deployment.
A research paper from Meta's AI team indicates that the Movie Gen models were developed for research purposes and need multiple improvements before being deployed. The company plans to incorporate safety models to reject input prompts or generations that violate their policies to prevent misuse.#Meta #AI #MovieGen #photorealistic #videocreation #artificialintelligence #multimodal #humanTesting #safetyTesting #audioIntegration #innovation #technology
