    Kraken Secures 48,641 Bitcoin From Mt. Gox, What Comes Next?

    Notably, Kraken has acknowledged the received Bitcoin from Mt. Gox and has promised to commence repayment within 7 to 14 days. In an update, Kraken said creditors will only receive amounts determined by the trustees of Mt. Gox and will distribute according to their instructions.Meanwhile, our previous article published this morning shows Mt. Gox moving $2.4 billion worth of BTC to an undisclosed wallet address. Given the anticipated reimbursement process, this movement signaled fund distribution to victims of the hack.However, Arkham highlighted in its recent update that $2.74 billion worth of BTC was transferred today, is still being held by Mt. Gox. The defunct exchange filed for bankruptcy in 2014 after suffering a notorious hack that led to the loss of about 850,000 BTC. Therefore, Kraken’s receipt of funds provides relief to Mt. Gox creditors who have been patiently waiting for recovery for almost a decade.Notwithstanding that, BTC quickly changed hands, trading at $63,720 as of this writing.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    io.net and Theoriq Form Strategic Partnership to Accelerate AI Decentralization

    GPU cloud network io.net has announced a partnership with modular AI platform Theoriq io.net. The collaboration will enable AI builders to access decentralized infrastructure using Theoriq’s protocol.The strategic partnership will leverage io.net’s GPU network to enhance the performance and scalability of Theoriq blockchain applications. By integrating Theoriq’s modular protocol of autonomous agents with io.net’s scalable GPU clusters, blockchain-based AI functionality will be significantly enhanced.Theoriq will harness io.net’s ability to aggregate GPUs from multiple sources to create a vast pool of computational resources. As a result, Theoriq’s AI developer community will be able to seamlessly access these powerful GPU resources directly within their development environment. The collaboration between Theoriq and io.net will yield a number of benefits for blockchain developers. These include greater cost efficiency through accessing computational power significantly cheaper than traditional cloud services. Developers will also be able to swiftly scale computational resources to meet the needs of large-scale AI models.Theoriq CEO Ron Bodkin said: “We are excited to partner with io.net to provide high-quality GPU compute to power AI agents that run on our protocol. io.netʼs decentralized compute infrastructure will help us further grow the community of AI developers and bring our vision of fully decentralized and community-governed AI to life.”Because io.net’s computational resources are distributed globally, builders in Theoriq’s community can process machine learning tasks closer to data sources. This proximity significantly reduces latency, which is crucial for AI use cases requiring real-time processing. Developers can select from a variety of GPU options and configure clusters according to specific requirements of different AI tasks, from training deep learning models to running complex simulations.io.net’s compute infrastructure will power the AI Agent Collective developed by VictoryChain and Fan Controlled Sports Entertainment (FCSE) on Theoriq’s protocol. By providing insights into the community sentiment, the FCSE Agent Collective will enable users to make data-driven decisions and call their plays strategically.Combining a fully decentralized compute network with Theoriq’s decentralized AI Agent protocol will enhance the FCSE fan experience by leveraging communities and conversations through sophisticated sentiment and data analysis. Fans will benefit from the wisdom of the crowd and gain deeper insights into FCSE games, ensuring fans are more informed and engaged than ever.

    Bitcoin ETFs Break Major $16 Billion Milestone

    The surge has pushed the year-to-date amount invested in Bitcoin ETFs to $16 billion, well ahead of initial projections of $12-15 billion for the full year. And there are still six months to go, reports the expert.When asked about the prospects of Ethereum ETFs, though, Balchunas estimated that they could attract “about 20% of what we’ve seen with Bitcoin.” This suggests that the positive trend in the crypto ETF market is likely to continue.Adding to the excitement, the SEC recently granted preliminary approval for ETFs linked to Ethereum. This paves the way for a bunch of new altcoin ETFs that could begin trading as early as July 23.This record-breaking increase in Bitcoin ETF investment shows that more and more people are getting interested in cryptocurrency. ETFs are a well-known and regulated way to invest in the crypto market without having to deal with the hassle of buying and holding on their own.If ETH ETFs become a thing, it will probably make it easier for more investors to get involved in this fast-developing asset class.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    “Bitcoin Going to $1 Million”: Samson Mow Names Possible Time Frame

    Mow has doubled down on his $1 million Bitcoin forecast that he gave earlier this year.Mow also offered a comment on the mammoth-sized Bitcoin transactions made by the Mt. Gox crypto exchange today. The platform started moving Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash in order for payouts to the creditors to start. Mt Gox transacted almost $6 billion in BTC today, causing a substantial BTC price decline.Earlier this week, Samson Mow tweeted that he does not believe that Bitcoin will ever again decline below the $60,000 price mark. The flagship cryptocurrency has recently started to recover after the recent sell-off initiated by the German government, as it sold 50,000 BTC in multiple transactions to such crypto exchanges as Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), Kraken and Bitstamp.Samson Mow does not believe the Mt. Gox payouts will have any significant impact on the Bitcoin price. He expects only 20% of that Bitcoin to hit the market. As for the remaining 80%, the Jan3 boss believes it will either be moved to cold storage wallets or will be locked in finance apps as users are likely to make some borrowings against this Bitcoin.But Mow is certain that 100% of the Bitcoin Cash returned to the creditors by Mt. Gox will be sold by the recipients.Bitcoin plunged by roughly 3.7% earlier today, falling back to the $62,500 zone. This decline was followed by a small recovery. As of this writing, Bitcoin is changing hands at $63,815.This article was originally published on U.Today More
