🚀 X Agrees To EU Data Compliance, Ends Investigation
#EUdata #dataCompliance #DPC #Grok #GDPR #socialMedia #Xplatform #ElonMusk #Brazil #VPN #dataProtection #rights #regulations #AI #investigation
According to Cointelegraph, the investigation into social media platform X has concluded after the platform agreed to meet the compliance requirements set by the European Data Protection Commission (DPC). On September 4, X agreed to cease using personal data from users located within the European Union and European Economic Area (EEA) for training its artificial intelligence chatbot Grok. The company behind X’s operations, Twitter International Unlimited Company, will erase previous data from May 7 to August 1 and will not collect any further data for developing, enhancing, or training Grok. The DPC filed the initial complaint, citing a risk to the “fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals.” This was the first time the EU data watchdog had to take such action under Section 134 of the 2018 Data Protection Act. DPC Commissioner Des Hogan welcomed the outcome, stating it protects the rights of EU/EEA citizens. He emphasized the DPC’s role in ensuring the best outcome for data subjects and its commitment to taking appropriate action where necessary. Prior to accepting the conditions, Twitter International rejected the DPC’s allegations, claiming compliance with the EU’s GDPR requirements and referring to the orders as “draconian.” However, since X agreed to the measures, the case has been dismissed. The case against the DPC is not the only battle X is currently facing. On August 30, regulators in Brazil suspended the platform after Elon Musk, the platform’s owner, refused to name a legal representative for the firm in the country. The Brazilian Supreme Court upheld the decision on September 2 in a unanimous decision made by five justices. Musk has hinted to X users in Brazil that they should defy the judge’s ruling against using VPNs to access the platform despite potential fines. He has also previously spoken out against Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes, accusing him of being “evil” and a “dictator” for allegedly engaging in “illegal political censorship” on X.#EUdata #dataCompliance #DPC #Grok #GDPR #socialMedia #Xplatform #ElonMusk #Brazil #VPN #dataProtection #rights #regulations #AI #investigation

🚀 Rare Ape-Themed CryptoPunk NFT Sells For $1.5 Million
#CryptoPunks #NFT #Ape #Ether #NFTsales #Crypto #digitalcollectibles #blockchain #washtrading #markettrends
According to Cointelegraph, the CryptoPunks non-fungible token (NFT) collection made headlines when a rare Ape-themed CryptoPunk sold for over $1.5 million on September 5. CryptoPunk #6915 was sold for 620 Ether (ETH), equivalent to around $1.48 million. This particular NFT is one of only 24 Ape-themed CryptoPunks and features three distinct attributes: a cap, an earring, and an eye patch.
Although the NFT sold for over a million dollars, the owner had received higher offers for the piece earlier this year. According to CryptoPunks data, in March 2024, when monthly NFT sales volume was approximately $1.6 billion, offers for Punk #6915 ranged from $5 million to $6 million. This means that the NFT’s value decreased by 78% since March.
The crypto community noticed the sale and shared their thoughts on X. One community member found it “weird” that the owner refused higher offers earlier this year, while another X user said that $1.5 million on a CryptoPunk in 2024 is “crazy.” Meanwhile, one community member thinks that the owner conducted a wash sale. The X user believes that a huge percentage of NFT sales are “insiders trying to create some kind of hype.” Wash trades are done to deceive market participants about an asset’s price or liquidity. It occurs when a trader buys and sells the same asset. In October 2021, CryptoPunk #9998 was sold for almost $500 million. However, data showed that the seller returned the ETH to the buyer to repay a flash loan.
On August 19, CryptoPunk #5822 changed owners. Its previous owner posted on X that it's the “end of an era,” as onchain data shows that the NFT was transferred to a different wallet. The NFT investor did not disclose the sale details, leaving the community to assume it was sold at a loss. In August, NFTs had their lowest monthly sales performance in 2024, going below $400 million for the first time this year. NFT data showed that digital collectibles are down by 76% compared to its highest monthly sales volume record in 2024.#CryptoPunks #NFT #Ape #Ether #NFTsales #Crypto #digitalcollectibles #blockchain #washtrading #markettrends
🚀 Charles Hoskinson Opposes Destruction Of Cardano Treasury Funds

According to BlockBeats, on September 6, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson expressed his opposition to the destruction of over 1.5 billion ADA from the treasury on the X platform. Hoskinson emphasized that the treasury funds are not pre-mined tokens that appeared out of nowhere. Instead, they are accumulated through taxes imposed on block production and transactions. The entire treasury is derived from the efforts of people building modules and engaging in economic activities. Hoskinson argued that burning the treasury funds would essentially be stealing from every ADA holder.#CharlesHoskinson #Cardano #ADATreasury #Crypto #Blockchain #CryptoCommunity #EconomicActivities
🚀 Crypto VC Funding Sees Resurgence In August
#Crypto #VCFunding #Blockchain #Investment #Web3 #Infrastructure #AI #RegulatoryClarity #ETFs #Startups
According to Cointelegraph, crypto venture capitalist (VC) funding experienced a notable resurgence in August, despite the broader crypto market's summer illiquidity. Data from DefiLlama indicates that crypto VC funding rose to $633 million in August, marking a 15% increase from $550 million in July.
Most of this renewed VC interest was directed towards blockchain infrastructure development firms. Luca Prosperi, CEO and co-founder of M^0 Labs, a payments protocol, highlighted the ongoing investment at various levels of blockchain development. Prosperi anticipates continued investment in infrastructure, middleware, and application layers, drawing parallels to the tech boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The surge in blockchain investment suggests a shift in VC interest back to crypto from the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. This trend is exemplified by VC firm Lemniscap, which secured a $70 million fund targeting early-stage Web3 startups on August 28.
Earlier in the summer, AI-related startups had dominated VC attention, with significant investments such as Sentient's $85 million funding round in June. However, Prosperi notes that as the AI sector reaches saturation, deep-tech investors are refocusing on crypto, partly due to a perceived more favorable regulatory environment.
Investors are also looking for more regulatory clarity in the crypto space, especially following the upcoming US elections in November, which could influence global regulatory frameworks for the next four years.
Despite the growing interest in blockchain infrastructure, the crypto sector still needs more real-world use cases to attract VC investment to the application layer. Ganesh Swami, CEO and co-founder of Covalent, pointed out that while infrastructure investments are currently favored, the sector needs a significant user base to drive app development. Swami also noted that the approval of Bitcoin and Ether-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has been a catalyst for the returning VC interest from the AI space.#Crypto #VCFunding #Blockchain #Investment #Web3 #Infrastructure #AI #RegulatoryClarity #ETFs #Startups

🚀 Economists Predict Rebound in Employment After Weak July Report
#Economics #Employment #JobMarket #Unemployment #FederalReserve #InterestRates #Recession #JobGrowth
According to Odaily, a Bloomberg survey indicates that economists generally expect a rebound in employment following a weak report in July. The forecast suggests an increase of 165,000 non-farm jobs and a slight decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.2%. The previous month's data showed a significant underperformance, with only 114,000 non-farm jobs added, far below the expected 175,000, and the unemployment rate rising from 4.1% to 4.3%, the highest since October 2021.
If weak employment data continues for a second consecutive month, it may reinforce the market's belief that the Federal Reserve's high-interest rates have been maintained for too long. Currently, the U.S. benchmark interest rate is at its highest level in 23 years, ranging from 5.25% to 5.5%, which could increase the likelihood of an economic recession.#Economics #Employment #JobMarket #Unemployment #FederalReserve #InterestRates #Recession #JobGrowth
🚀 Nobel Laureate Stiglitz Criticizes Fed's Rapid Rate Hikes
#NobelLaureate #JosephStiglitz #FederalReserve #InterestRates #MonetaryPolicy #Inflation #Economics #RateHikes #JPMorgan #NonFarmPayroll
According to Odaily, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz expressed his concerns on Friday at a forum in Cernobbio, Italy, stating that the Federal Reserve has moved 'too far, too fast' with its monetary policy tightening. Stiglitz emphasized that the Fed should consider lowering interest rates by 50 basis points in its upcoming meeting. He criticized the central bank for exacerbating inflation issues through its aggressive rate hikes.
Stiglitz's comments came ahead of the release of the non-farm payroll data for August, which investors are closely monitoring for indications of the Fed's potential rate cut this month. Stiglitz, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2001 for his market analysis, joined JPMorgan's chief U.S. economist in calling for a significant rate cut this month.#NobelLaureate #JosephStiglitz #FederalReserve #InterestRates #MonetaryPolicy #Inflation #Economics #RateHikes #JPMorgan #NonFarmPayroll
🚀 Libre Launches Web3 Protocol To Bring Investment Funds To Aptos Network
#Libre #Web3 #Aptos #InvestmentFunds #Tokenization #DeFi #Blockchain #RealWorldAssets #TradFi #Cryptocurrency #SmartContracts #AssetTokenization #CollateralizedLending #MarketNeutralFund #APT
According to Cointelegraph, infrastructure provider Libre is introducing a new Web3 protocol aimed at bringing investment funds to the Aptos network. The initial funds to be deployed on the Aptos layer-1 include Brevan Howard Master Fund, Hamilton Lane’s Senior Credit Opportunities Fund, and BlackRock’s ICS Money Market Fund, which collectively manage over $91 billion in assets.
Libre, a joint venture between WebN Group and Nomura’s Laser Digital, will act as the core infrastructure for integrating real-world assets (RWAs) on Aptos. Libre’s Gateway DeFi DApps will enable accredited, professional, and institutional investors to access these funds onchain. This initiative follows previous deployments of the same portfolio on the Solana and Near blockchains.
Tokenization, the process of converting real-world assets into digital tokens, allows for fractional ownership and trading on blockchain systems. This method is particularly beneficial in private equity markets, where it enables smaller investors to trade and gain exposure to large, illiquid assets. Data from Dune Analytics indicates that over $1.6 billion in securities had been tokenized as of September 5, with global bank Citi predicting the tokenization market could reach $5 trillion by 2030.
Mo Shaikh, co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs, highlighted that Libre is leveraging Aptos Ascend, a product developed by Aptos Labs, to deliver new asset classes and financial services. This ensures users benefit from the reliability and sophistication of traditional finance (TradFi) combined with the decentralization and security provided by the Move programming language on Aptos.
The Libre protocol, which went live in the first quarter of 2024, supports asset tokenization and smart contracts on the Polygon network. It also facilitates collateralized lending and automated rebalancing of separately managed accounts (SMAs), and offers crypto-native funds, including Laser Digital’s new Market Neutral Fund.#Libre #Web3 #Aptos #InvestmentFunds #Tokenization #DeFi #Blockchain #RealWorldAssets #TradFi #Cryptocurrency #SmartContracts #AssetTokenization #CollateralizedLending #MarketNeutralFund #APT
