- Nvidia AI partner Databricks raises $500M to achieve $43B valuation
Capital One also joined the investment round, despite being the top client of rival cloud platform Snowflake.
Cloud data company Databricks recently announced the completion of a Series I fundraising round where it raked in $500 million from primary investor accounts led by T. Rowe and new investors Capital One Ventures, Ghisallo Capital Management, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and Nvidia.
The latest investment round was achieved at a valuation of $43 billion dollars and a share price of $73.50, according to Databricks. In 2021, the company raised null.6 billion in Series H funding at a valuation of $38 billion.
Databricks’ financial partnership with Nvidia indicates an increased synergy between the two artificial intelligence (AI) corporations, with generative AI for enterprise data being the primary driver for the raise.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, per a Databricks press release, called enterprise data “a goldmine for generative AI,” adding, “Databricks is doing incredible work with Nvidia technology to accelerate data processing and generative AI models.”
Databricks’ most prominent product is its “Lakehouse” platform. Lakehouse essentially combines a data warehouse with a data lake for seamless developer workflow access.
- SEC reverses decision on sealing, redacting some documents in Binance.US case
The documents filed Aug. 28 may be seen by the public in a week. They are not all the sealed documents in the case, however.
Observers should soon get a look at some of inaccessible documents in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) case against Binance. The documents were sealed or redacted at the SEC’s request and are being unsealed at the request of the SEC itself.
District of Columbia District Court Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui issued an order Sept. 15 granting the SEC’s motion to unseal or remove the redaction from the documents. The order lists 18 sealed documents and another nine partially sealed or redacted documents.
- Zksync Airdrop Confirm?
Token commitments to insiders: Multiple people from ZkSync (Alex Gluchowski, Steve Newcomb, Marco Cora) confirmed that there will be a token. They mentioned that ⅓ of the tokens are reserved for insiders. \[2] This sounds like they have already made a commitment to allocate tokens to key stakeholders. Why would they not launch a token? A token is the best way to monetize your project and get the support of relevant people\
\
A Token for the Zk Porter: So, I’m collecting every bit of information about the airdrop that I could find & by coincidence I stumbled upon something interesting: The ZkPorter. The ZkPorter is the off-chain Data availability layer for ZkSync. As you know ZkSync validates transactions off-chain in order to scale better. That's what the ZkPorter is for. Anyway, after learning about the ZkPorter, I watched the Bankless interview with Alex Gluchowski from ZkSync and he said something along the lines of \[1]: “We need a token because that's how the ZkPorter will be validated”
- What will be the largest airdrop project of layer2
I think this is just a confrontation between Zksync and Starknet. Because other layer 2 Ethereum projects are still in the process of perfecting their ecosystems.
- Crypto Biz: PayPal rolls out crypto ramps, Franklin Templeton joins BTC ETF race, and more
This week’s Crypto Biz looks at PayPal’s crypto gateway, Franklin Templeton’s BTC ETF filing, Coinbase’s Lightning Network integration, and Meta’s plans for a new AI model.
Without aggressive marketing tactics, fintech giant PayPal is quietly and consistently venturing deeper into the crypto space, rolling out features and building key partnerships to advance its digital assets strategy.
This week, PayPal unveiled new on-ramps and off-ramps for cryptocurrencies for its clients in the United States — a noteworthy step for the country, particularly as many crypto firms struggle with supporting fiat-crypto conversions since the United States Securities and Exchange Commission began its controversial crackdown on the industry.
Also deepening ties with the crypto ecosystem is the traditional asset manager firm Franklin Templeton. The company filed for a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S., joining a long list of major investment firms seeking approval for a Bitcoin investment product, including names such as BlackRock, Fidelity and WisdomTree, among many others.
- Gemini legal team accuses DCG of ‘gaslighting’ Genesis creditors
Lawyers representing Gemini Trust filed a response in bankruptcy court to Digital Currency Group’s plan claiming to offer unsecured creditors a “70–90% recovery."
Lawyers representing Gemini Trust have pushed back against a plan proposed by Digital Currency Group (DCG) for creditors of Genesis Global.
In a Sept. 15 filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, the legal team accused DCG of gaslighting Genesis creditors through “contrived, misleading, and inaccurate assertions” in the recovery plan. The plan, filed in bankruptcy court on Sept. 13, claimed that unsecured creditors could have a “70–90% recovery with a meaningful portion of the recovery in digital currencies” while Gemini Earn users could expect an “approximately 95–110%” recovery for their claims.

- Bitcoin's Mathematical Monetary Policy Is Far More Predictable Than Gold and Fiat Currencies
This past April, records show that 19 million bitcoins have been mined into existence and 133 days later, there are 1.88 million bitcoins left to mint today. The network’s block subsidy halving is expected to occur on or around April 20, 2024, as there are less than 91,000 bitcoins left to mine until that point. While Bitcoin’s inflation rate per annum is 1.73% today, after the halving in 2024, the crypto asset’s yearly inflation rate will be down to 1.1%.

- Bitcoin Mining Operations Continue to Expand Amid the Crypto Winter, While Converting 'Wasted Gas to Energy at Scale'
The bitcoin mining industry continues to expand as companies are obtaining more megawatts of capacity, building new facilities, and acquiring thousands of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs. On Friday, the firm Validus Power revealed it has acquired two natural gas power stations in Ontario, Canada, that will become crypto mining facilities. On the same day, the firm Applied Blockchain got a $15 million loan to fund growth and “buildout of its data centers.” While the bitcoin mining industry’s growth has been exponential, at the same time, bitcoin mining operations are making a significant dent toward cleaning up the world’s CO2 emissions.

- Greetings AAVE fam, the snapshot for the GHO proposal is now public. It's time to read 📄 with voting 🗳 starting tomorrow https://snapshot.org/#/aave.eth/proposal/0xb17b3294dcb08316cb623c717add7f82df54948d558992f886be59d0958e9b24
- Calling all GHOsts 👻
We have created an ARC for a new decentralized, collateral-backed stablecoin, native to the Aave ecosystem, known as GHO.
Read more below and discuss your thoughts for the snapshot (coming soon)!👇
https://governance.aave.com/t/introducing-gho/8730
GHO will be:
🌍 Decentralized
💪 Over-collateralized by assets that continue to earn yield
✨ Backed by multiple types of collateral available on the Aave Protocol
⚖️ Governed by the Aave community
With community support, GHO can extend the capabilities of the Aave ecosystem!
Users will be able to generate GHO after supplying collateral, and then burn GHO when reclaiming collateral 🔐
Based on the proposal, all users with stkAAVE in the Safety Module will be eligible for a discount on GHO 👀
This is yet another exciting leap forward for the Aave Protocol and we can’t wait to hear the community’s thoughts on it!
Ready, Set, GHO 🏃🏃♀️
