According to PANews, OpenAI and Microsoft are engaged in intense negotiations over a potential $14 billion investment. The discussions focus on how to convert Microsoft's investment in the non-profit organization into equity in a future for-profit company. OpenAI recently completed a funding round, valuing the company at $157 billion, and plans to transition from a non-profit to a for-profit entity, making equity distribution a significant challenge.
As OpenAI's largest investor, Microsoft has invested a total of $13.75 billion since 2019 and could secure substantial equity in the new company. Both parties have hired financial advisors, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, to determine Microsoft's stake and governance rights in the restructured OpenAI. This decision is crucial for the development of the AI industry and the future collaboration between the two entities.#OpenAI #Microsoft #Investment #Funding #AIIndustry #Equity #ForProfit #Negotiations #MorganStanley #GoldmanSachs

π Safe Team Reviews Radiant Capital Security Incident
#SafeTeam #RadiantCapital #SecurityIncident #WalletSecurity #BlindSigning #TransactionSecurity #HardwareWallets #SecurityRecommendations #CollaborativeEffort #CryptoSecurity #ForesightNews
According to Foresight News, the Safe team has reviewed the security incident mentioned in Radiant Capital's post-incident report. The review highlighted that while the Safe {Wallet} frontend functioned normally, external devices were compromised during the signing process. This allowed hackers to alter transaction data and trick signers into approving malicious transactions. The Safe team emphasized the risks associated with blind signing, where users approve transactions without fully viewing the details, particularly when using hardware wallets.
To address this issue, Safe recommends using multiple signing devices from different vendors, such as a combination of Ledger and Trezor, and connecting these devices through trusted interfaces to enhance transaction visibility and security. Additionally, Safe is exploring technologies like conditional signatures to provide more contextual information without compromising security. The team is also considering directly calculating Ledger hashes within its interface, enabling users to verify the hashes displayed on their hardware wallets and the interface.
The Safe team stressed the need for collaboration within the ecosystem to resolve the blind signing problem. They committed to working with hardware wallet providers and the community to improve transaction and message signing processes.#SafeTeam #RadiantCapital #SecurityIncident #WalletSecurity #BlindSigning #TransactionSecurity #HardwareWallets #SecurityRecommendations #CollaborativeEffort #CryptoSecurity #ForesightNews

According to Odaily, Ethereum (ETH) is approaching the significant psychological threshold of $3,000, but analysts caution that there may be more downside before a breakthrough. Technical analyst Mikybull noted that the short-term target price for ETH, based on the daily chart's inverse 'head and shoulders' reversal pattern, is $3,000. This pattern is often used by technical analysts as a signal of a bullish price reversal at the end of a downtrend. Other analysts predict that Ethereum could reach its all-time high in the first quarter of 2025. Cryptocurrency trader Daink shared his technical analysis, suggesting that Ethereum's price could reach $4,000 by the end of the year. In his post on October 17, he wrote, 'The all-time high will appear in the first quarter of 2025, but for now, I believe it will reach $4,000.' An anonymous cryptocurrency analyst, Ignas, attributed Ethereum's price weakness to its losing ground in the Layer 1 (L1) blockchain innovation battle.#Ethereum #ETH #crypto #cryptocurrency #priceprediction #bullish #technicalanalysis #layer1 #blockchain #investment

π Federal Reserve Governor Discusses Stablecoins At Vienna Macroeconomics Seminar
#FederalReserve #Stablecoins #DeFi #Cryptocurrency #DigitalCurrency #PaymentSystems #FinancialInnovation #GlobalPayments #RiskManagement #Macroeconomics
According to Odaily, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller shared his views on decentralized finance (DeFi) at the Vienna Macroeconomics Seminar held at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna, Austria. He highlighted that stablecoins represent a significant innovation within the DeFi space. Originating from the cryptocurrency world, stablecoins aim to provide a 'safe' asset with stable value for transactions. Most stablecoins are pegged one-to-one with the US dollar, offering buyers and sellers a decentralized method for conducting transactions using stablecoins as a settlement tool.
Waller noted that since stablecoins are essentially digital currencies, they have the potential to reduce the need for payment intermediaries, thereby lowering global payment costs. However, he cautioned that their security is not guaranteed, citing historical instances of synthetic dollar runs. Stablecoins face the same challenges as any true dollar alternative. If appropriate safeguards can be established to minimize the risk of runs and mitigate other risks, such as their potential use in illegal financing, stablecoins could benefit the payment sector and serve as secure assets on various new trading platforms.#FederalReserve #Stablecoins #DeFi #Cryptocurrency #DigitalCurrency #PaymentSystems #FinancialInnovation #GlobalPayments #RiskManagement #Macroeconomics

π Bitcoin Whales Accumulate Amid Price Surge
#Bitcoin #BTC #Whales #CryptoQuant #Investors #MarketTrends #PriceSurge #FOMO #LongTermHolders #Miners #Accumulation #Bullish #Crypto
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing significant accumulation by whale wallets as its price approaches the $70,000 mark. This trend mirrors the period from July 2020 to January 2021, when Bitcoin saw a 550% rally. Woominkyu, a verified author on CryptoQuant, noted that this historical pattern has sparked investor excitement about a potential BTC breakout. The current Bitcoin whale ratio on spot exchanges is similar to the ratio observed around July 2020, following the COVID-induced market crash in March.
Woominkyu highlighted that whales are continuing to accumulate BTC despite short-term price volatility, positioning themselves for a long-term price increase. In a recent post, he stated, 'Whales are ready to welcome 'FOMO' by dumb money.' Cointelegraph previously reported that whale wallets had accumulated over 1.5 million BTC in the past six months, with each wallet holding more than 1,000 BTC, equivalent to $68 million at current values.
CryptoQuant CEO Ki-Young Ju pointed out that new whale wallets, with an average coin age under 155 days, have reached a new high of 1.97 million BTC. These new wallets, which are non-miner and potentially custodial, now represent 9.3% of the total Bitcoin supply, valued at $132 billion. Young-Ju mentioned that the BTC balance of these wallets has surged 813% year-to-date.
Despite the bullish outlook from whale wallets, long-term holders and miners may add some resistance to BTCβs price. IT Tech, an on-chain analyst at CryptoQuant, suggested that long-term holders might be stabilizing or taking profits. The analyst also noted that miners' profit sustainability has increased recently, correlating with Bitcoin price peaks. However, short-term holders are shifting towards accumulation, which could help the market absorb any selling pressure. Monitoring the activities of short-term holders, long-term holders, and miners is crucial as shifts in these areas can impact Bitcoinβs next move.#Bitcoin #BTC #Whales #CryptoQuant #Investors #MarketTrends #PriceSurge #FOMO #LongTermHolders #Miners #Accumulation #Bullish #Crypto
