Imagine Joining All Cryptocurrency Networks Into A Super-Network That Is Cross-Chain And Protocol-Driven — Swopblock Is Doing Just That

Benzinga

By James Wells, Benzinga Learn more about and invest in SwopBlock via Wefunder In an ideal scenario, all cryptocurrency blockchains would be interconnected, providing users with a seamless experience across chains and apps. Yet, interoperability still remains a significant challenge. Emerging technologies aim to interlink blockchains and streamline asset and information movement. Swopblock, a cross-chain trading protocol, is at the forefront, aspiring to be the most decentralized medium of cross-chain trading. The following article will explore how Swopblock aims to consolidate liquidity within the decentralized exchange (DEX) world in an entirely decentralized fashion. Decentralized DEXs: Confronting Current Limitations And Siloed Blockchains DeFi Llama reports over 200 different blockchain networks, with Ethereum, Tron, and Binance Smart Chain commanding over 75% of the market. Despite progress in interoperability, these blockchains mainly operate separately, leading to talent and resources focusing on competing networks instead of a unified system. The siloed nature of blockchains is primarily problematic for end-users, as cross-chain trading proves challenging. This is due to most DEXs' lack of multi-chain support, absent of access to various altcoin swaps. For instance, Uniswap, the leading DEX by trading volume, only supports 7 EVM-compatible networks. Hence, more users are opting for cross-chain exchanges to simplify asset transfers and navigation across chains. However, these exchanges address the interoperability problem by pooling liquidity across multiple blockchains which exposes user's assets to external hacking and internal theft. Swopblock: Unleashing A New Era In Cross-Chain Trading Swopblock, an open-source, proof-of-relay (PoR) protocol, allows peer-to-peer, self-custodial, cross-chain trading. It lets users transact directly from their wallets without giving their crypto keys to any intermediary. Unlike native blockchain-restricted DEXs, Swopblock enables both retail users and institutions to seamlessly transfer assets, including Ethereum, Bitcoin and more. The Swopblock protocol is powered by its Liquidity Stream, the underlying infrastructure that channels market volume. SWOBL, the native asset of the protocol, serves as a free-flowing medium of exchange that provides 100% of the market volume necessary for autonomous cross-blockchain trading between peers. A New Era Of Infrastructure: Swopblock's Impact While other decentralized cross-chain exchanges like THORChain, Open Ocean, and RocketX exist, Swopblock revolutionizes the industry through total decentralization. This is realized by ensuring 100% liquidity distribution across all user wallets. Such distribution reduces the hacking risks associated with liquidity pools, bridges and pipes, as they often hold significant cash, making them prone to exploits and attacks. In 2022 alone, over $2.8 billion of crypto was lost due to hacks and exploits, with crowd looting and bridge exploits being common examples. The Utility Of SWOBL In addition to complete decentralization, 100% liquidity distribution across all user wallets allows for equitable value accrual across the entire ecosystem. As trading volume rises, so does SWOBL demand, benefiting all users, traders, or investors who hold SWOBL. Swopblock is currently raising funds for its official launch, rewarding early investors with additional SWOBL in four phases based on their investment size and timing. Early exposure could be a profitable choice for investors who believe in the future of Swopblock's superior technology. Looking Ahead: Exploring The Future Of DEXs With Swopblock Swopblock is a powerful solution to the existing limitations of the DEX landscape. It proposes a fully decentralized, self-custodial, cross-chain trading method that helps users autonomously navigate blockchain networks. As crypto adoption grows, Swopblock's unique decentralized strategy could leverage this demand. Learn more about and invest in SwopBlock via Wefunder This post contains sponsored content.

Chinese Startup Debuts World’s First Mass-Produced Humanoid Robot at WAIC

MarketJar

Fourier Intelligence's striking humanoid robot, GR-1, made a remarkable debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai in July. This jet-black marvel captured the attention of the global technology community, showcasing the immense potential of bipedal robots. Amid the buzz surrounding AI software, the Chinese-designed GR-1 garnered attention by demonstrating its ability to walk at 5 km/h on two legs while carrying a 50 kg load. This breakthrough highlighted the prowess of bipedal robots in the evolving tech landscape. The unexpected triumph of unveiling GR-1 marked a transformative phase for Shanghai-based startup Fourier Intelligence. Originating in 2015 with a focus on rehabilitation robotics, the company has since diversified its offerings. From smart exercise bikes to wireless robotic gloves and computer-guided devices aiding movement restoration, Fourier's portfolio has expanded significantly. Alex Gu aligns with Telsa CEO Elon Musk's vision for humanoid robots as tools for mundane tasks and companionship. Musk has been quoted saying, “"There will probably be far more robots than humans in the future." Gu also recognizes the potential of large language models (LLMs), such as those underlying AI chatbots like ChatGPT. LLMs could grant robots logical reasoning abilities, enhancing their human-like qualities. Fourier's focus on hardware development aligns with collaborations with AI companies for LLM integration. GR-1's deployment for research and development is underway, with mass production planned by year-end. While a journey lies ahead before humanoid robots become part of daily life, Gu balances caution with optimism. As technology advances, the tantalizing prospect of humanoid robots becoming integral in the next five to ten years is within reach. Combating Crime Demands Superhuman Capabilities While the development of humanoid robots is still in its infancy, security robots are gaining popularity across the US as a response to rising crime rates. The global security robot market is projected to reach $31.08 billion by 2030, with a 12.8% CAGR. One of the companies leading the charge in this field is Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP), an advanced security technology company headquartered in Silicon Valley. The company specializes in creating fully autonomous security robots (ASRs) that deter, detect, and report. Established in 2013, Knightscope leverages four key technologies – autonomy, robotics, artificial intelligence, and electric vehicle tech – to develop their unique solutions. Their tech has logged over 2.3 million hours of real-world field operation. A major achievement for Knightscope was the acquisition of CASE Emergency Systems in 2022, bolstering their capabilities and driving significant revenue growth. The company boasts an impressive clientele, including the New York Police Department (NYPD), New York City Fire Department (FDNY), San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG), and the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). Throughout the year, Knightscope secured several substantial deals nationwide. These include a $1.25 million contract with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, encompassing 145 devices, as well as a pilot contract with the New York Police Department (NYPD) for a K5 robot designated for patrolling a Manhattan subway station. A recent strategic initiative unveiled by Knightscope involves a collaboration with a property management group in Chicago. This deployment features the K5 Autonomous Security Robot (ASR), tasked with patrolling a mixed-use facility housing both retail establishments and professional tenants. This marks Knightscope 's second deployment in Chicago, aiming to address elevated levels of crime, trespassing, vehicle break-ins, and catalytic converter thefts. Another notable milestone was reached as Knightscope successfully deployed its first two K1 Hemisphere ASRs in Hawaii. This deployment signifies the conclusive phase of product development—client testing. Collaborating with a globally recognized brand specializing in full-service hotels and resorts, Knightscope has initiated a comprehensive evaluation phase. Further showcasing the company’s impact, the deployment of a K5 in Ohio has garnered national attention, solidifying Knightscope 's position as a key player in the evolving landscape of security technology. Knightscope CEO, William Santana Li, was recently stated during the Company’s 2Q 2023 update, “For the six months ended June 2023, we booked $6.4 million of revenue putting us on an over $12 million annual revenue run rate – well over double last year. That’s right, not only double-digit growth over 2022 but literally potentially doubling the Company’s revenue by the end of 2023. As I often say, the Rise of the Robots is happening, and it is happening now!" For more information on Knightscope, Inc.

COMCAST EXPANDING TO 3,400 HOMES AND BUSINESSES IN SPRING HILL, KS

Comcast Greater Kansas City

Comcast announced that 50% of Spring Hill residents can now sign up for its smart, fast and reliable fiber-rich network. This expansion brings residential broadband speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and business speeds up to 100 Gbps to 3,400 additional homes and businesses in the area by early 2024. As part of this work, the company is also investing $9 million in a 2-year project to expand its fiber-rich network infrastructure over 75 miles in the area. "Spring Hill welcomes Comcast's investment in our community. A broadband expansion project like this strengthens workforce development, education and employment,” said Spring Hill Mayor Joe Berkey. “A robust broadband infrastructure allows Spring Hill to attract businesses seeking to locate or expand their operations here. I am grateful for Comcast’s commitment to expanding broadband access in our growing community.” In the last three years, Comcast has invested nearly $40.3 million in the State of Kansas including capital expenditures, employee wages and benefits, taxes and fees and charitable giving. The company has invested more than $11.4 million in technology and infrastructure, including upgrades to their network to deliver innovative, reliable and affordable broadband service to everyone in the Comcast footprint in Kansas. “Ensuring all Spring Hill residents and businesses have access to reliable, high-speed internet is a top priority for Comcast,” said Kalyn Hove, Regional Senior Vice President for Comcast. “As the world we live in becomes increasingly digital, we remain focused on not only bringing our broadband network to Spring Hill homes and businesses, but also on future-proofing our network to meet the ever-increasing appetite for education, business and entertainment.” Powered by the Xfinity 10G Network Comcast’s network and Internet experience are powering homes and businesses today and into the future: Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect nearly 1 billion devices across the company’s network annually. The Xfinity 10G Network with the next-generation Xfinity gateways deliver the most advanced WiFi technology carrying three times more bandwidth to power streaming, gaming, videoconferencing, and more, simultaneously. Fastest Internet: More than a third of Xfinity Internet customers subscribe to gigabit speed products, and symmetrical gig speeds are coming to the first homes this year. Unprecedented Coverage: The latest Xfinity Gateway provides a more reliable connection throughout the home. Customers can get wall-to-wall WiFi coverage with a powerful Xfinity WiFi Boost Pod that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas, with plans for an offering of increased support for in-home WiFi through a “boost guarantee” later this year. Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the nation’s largest and most reliable network – the Xfinity 10G Network – that passes 60 million homes and businesses and counting. The company plans to launch a new device that is “storm ready” with cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes out. Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity 10G Network and the latest Xfinity Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most like video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households averaging more than one gaming console per home. Spring Hill residents will also be able to take advantage of the company’s Internet Essentials program that provides low-cost, high-speed broadband for income-constrained households. Since its inception in 2011, the program has connected more than 6,400 Kansas residents. Comcast also participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides qualifying households with a $30 monthly credit toward internet and mobile services. "Our region is making great strides toward digital equity thanks to engaged community members and dedicated partners like Comcast,” said Janet McRea, Miami County Economic Development Director. “It is important for us to have reliable, affordable connections in our communities. In addition, we must have collaborations like the ones offered by Comcast that help customers utilize those connections to access vital services to move our local economy." For local businesses, Comcast Business offers a suite of connectivity, cybersecurity, managed solutions and Comcast Business Mobile products designed specifically for their employee’s needs. Powered by the nation’s largest Gig-speed broadband network, and backed by 24/7 customer support, Comcast Business is the nation’s largest cable and Internet provider to small and mid-size businesses and one of the leading providers to larger organizations in the Enterprise market. Comcast Business has been consistently recognized by industry analysts and associations as a leader and innovator, and one of the fastest growing providers of Ethernet services. Supporting local communities has been core to Comcast’s DNA. In 2023, Comcast will sponsor several community events with the City of Spring Hill and the Spring Hill Recreation Commission including the Spring Hill Fishing Derby, Big Truck Day and Breakfast with Santa. As a sponsor of the Spring Hill Fall Festival, Comcast’s staff has been able to connect directly with residents to provide information about the services they offer.

Watch Champions League Online for Free with a VPN

Digital Heroes

Looking to watch the Champions League online for free? You've come to the right place. In this guide, I'll show you the method I've been using since 2019, which has helped me save significantly. It involves tapping into foreign TV channels that broadcast the Champions League at no cost and using trusted VPN services like CyberGhost * or NordVPN * to overcome geo-restrictions. Moreover, I'll highlight how you can take advantage of free trials on certain streaming platforms to catch the action. Hint: The trick works for the Champions League, Europe League and Conference League. Let's get started. Champions League Free Live Stream Channels For the ultimate football enthusiast, having access to live stream channels is essential. Thankfully, several channels across various countries offer free live streams of the Champions League. However, remember, due to regional restrictions, these channels may not be accessible from everywhere. To get around this, using a VPN becomes essential. Below is a curated list of free live stream channels for the Champions League: ServusTV (Austria) ORF1 (Austria) Gol Play (Spain) RTE 2 (Ireland) TV8 (Italy) RMC Story (France) ViX (USA) RTL (Luxembourg) Canale 5 (Italy) RTL Zwee (Luxembourg) Club RTL (Belgium) MatchTV (Russia) M4Sport (Hungary) To fully harness the potential of these free streaming channels, it's vital to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). These channels have geo-restrictions in place, meaning they're only accessible from specific regions. With a VPN, you can virtually place your device in the broadcasting country, effectively bypassing these restrictions. So, for instance, if you want to access ServusTV from outside Austria, simply connect your VPN to an Austrian server and navigate to the channel's website. This way, no matter where you are in the world, the thrilling Champions League matches remain just a click away. Remember to choose a reputable VPN service for seamless streaming and security. Step-by-step Guides: Streaming Champions League Matches Using a VPN As an example, we are using two streams, but you can follow these steps for all other streams in the same way. Accessing Streams from Ireland (RTE 2) and Austria (ServusTV) Choose a reputable VPN service like CyberGhost * Install the VPN and connect to a server located in either Ireland or Austria. Navigate to the streaming platform's website or app (RTE 2 for Ireland, ServusTV for Austria). Enjoy the match live without any restrictions! Use of VPNs to Bypass Restrictions: Accessing Restricted Content with Ease VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, serve as a bridge to bypass these geographical restrictions. By using a VPN, viewers can reroute their internet connection to a server in a different country, making it appear as though they're accessing the internet from that location. This method effectively tricks streaming platforms into granting access to their content. Apart from accessing restricted content, VPNs also offer enhanced security and anonymity while browsing the web. Thanks to our friends from vpnonline.com with providing the information how to watch the champions league online. Country-specific Broadcasting Rights and Platforms: Where to Watch the Champions League Depending on Your Location Different countries have their unique broadcasting partners for the UEFA Champions League. Below is a list of platforms for select countries: USA: Paramount+ is the go-to platform, offering comprehensive coverage of all matches. UK: BT Sport holds exclusive rights, providing both live broadcasts and highlight packages. Australia: Stan Sport is the primary broadcaster, ensuring fans don't miss a single moment. India: SonyLIV streams the matches, with additional coverage on Sony's TV channels. For fans outside of these regions, remember the handy VPN trick to bypass geographical restrictions and enjoy the game! Stream Both Conference League and Europa League with same trick The technique to watch the Champions League matches works just as effectively for the Europa League and Conference League. Use the same steps to access both tournaments and stay updated with all the fixtures. UEFA Champions League Schedule: Key Dates to Remember The 2022-2023 Champions League season promises a series of thrilling encounters.

These restrictions are in place due to broadcasting rights agreements, often determined on a country-by-country basis. For a global event like the Champions League, this means fans might find themselves unable to stream matches depending on their location, even if they're willing to pay for the service. Introduction to UEFA Champions League: A Brief Overview and the Significance of the 2023 Matches The UEFA Champions League, often simply referred to as the Champions League, represents the pinnacle of European club football. Established in 1955, it has become the most prestigious club competition in world football. Top clubs from Europe's premier leagues compete in this tournament, vying for the title of Europe's best. As we approach 2023, the significance of the matches heightens, with teams showcasing their best strategies and players, and fans from all corners of the globe tuning in to witness the spectacle. Anticipation Builds for Champions League Group Stages The excitement for the Champions League group phase is palpable as 26 teams have already secured their spots, spread across four draw pots. Pot 1 boasts some of the most storied football clubs in the world, including SSC Napoli, FC Barcelona, and Manchester City, alongside winners from Europe's Top-5 Leagues and Portugal's premier club, Benfica Lisbon. The teams are categorized based on UEFA's Club Coefficient. There are still six slots up for grabs, which will be decided through the qualifiers. Due to their aggressive actions against Ukraine, Russian teams remain barred from participation. With such illustrious clubs confirmed, fans can eagerly anticipate epic clashes. Imagine a matchup between Manchester City from Pot 1 and Real Madrid from Pot 2, or Paris Saint-Germain locking horns with Manchester United. Teams from Pot 3 and 4, like AC Milan, Lazio Rom, and the newly qualified 1. FC Union Berlin, promise to bring in surprises and could potentially play the role of dark horses in the tournament. No matter the draw's outcome, this season's Champions League is shaping up to be a carnival of football, showcasing the best Europe has to offer.

News Release

Politicians in California Can Accept Crypto Donations, $ROE Bulls Eye $1 As Bullish Sentiment Swirl

Blockchain Digest

Two major trends are emerging in cryptocurrency. One is the rise of new marketplaces like Borroe that offer unique funding methods for online businesses. The other is the growing acceptance of digital currencies everywhere. Even politicians in California are open to cryptocurrency donations. The invoice financing market is valued at $3 trillion. Borroe ($ROE) allows the business community to change their future earnings into trending NFTs that make financing easy. With such a large potential market, it is easy to see why Borroe is so popular with investors. $ROE Bulls Eye $1 as Bullish Sentiment Swirls Listed among the hottest alt coins to watch, $ROE is catching attention. The excitement around Borroe, which offers online businesses a new way to finance themselves, is boosting interest in $ROE. Borroe will upend the traditional invoice financing market, which could positively impact $ROE's value. Borroe works with a variety of online businesses and offers features that simplify funding processes: businesses can use future income, such as subscriptions, to raise instant funds by minting loan NFTs and selling them at a discount on the platform. The presale of Borroe's $ROE token is a standout event in the cryptocurrency space. The Beta Stage, which was the initial offering, swiftly sold out with the token priced at a mere $0.01. With a successful kickoff in the world of alt coins, $ROE is headed higher in every stage of its presale. Currently, Borroe is in its first presale stage. The price jumped to $0.0125, marking a 25% increase from its initial rate. Higher $ROE prices are set to continue, with each subsequent stage poised to offer more value to early investors. The next stage promises a surge in the token's price to $0.0150 for those who decide to jump onboard early. And for those with foresight, the last stage in the presale sequence is a golden opportunity, where the price would have burgeoned by 300% from its starting point. As of now, the numbers speak for themselves. Over 40% of the tokens allocated for Stage 1 have already found buyers, showcasing the interest in $ROE. What sets $ROE apart from other tokens is its deflationary nature. This means that the token supply is designed to decrease over time, which can lead to appreciation in its value. Given these dynamics, Borroe's $ROE presale is an opportunity for savvy investors to be part of a great platform. All these advantages make $ROE one of the best cryptos to buy now. Many are watching closely as the value of $ROE could hit the $1 mark once it is listed on major exchanges. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Politicians in California Can Accept Crypto Donations California is showing how digital currencies can be more than just an online trend. The state's Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) now allows politicians to accept cryptocurrency donations. However, there are rules – politicians can't take these donations directly and a registered payment processor based in the US must handle these transactions. This ensures that the donations are transparent and traceable. Because the value of cryptocurrencies can change quickly, the FPPC requires these donations to be immediately turned into US dollars before they are added to a campaign's funds. Summary The growth of platforms like Borroe and the increasing use of cryptocurrencies in everyday settings, like political donations in California, show a changing digital landscape. The positive outlook on $ROE highlights this shift. For those interested in digital currencies and new investment opportunities, now might be a good time to look into it.

3 Reasons Borroe NFTs Have Huge Implications For BAYC, CryptoPunks

Blockchain Digest

In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies and NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), investors are on the hunt for the best crypto investment opportunities that offer value. Established NFT projects like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and CryptoPunks have garnered immense attention. However, a new player on the scene, Borroe, is generating buzz for its innovative approach to NFTs. Here are three compelling reasons why Borroe NFTs are making waves and have significant implications for established projects like BAYC and CryptoPunks. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Disrupting the Traditional NFT Model Borroe's NFTs are not just tokens representing digital art; they are revolutionizing the concept of NFT ownership. Unlike traditional NFTs that primarily focus on art and collectibles, Borroe is redefining the landscape by offering NFTs that represent future earnings and revenue streams. A novel approach has caught the attention of investors seeking the best NFTs to invest in now. By allowing content creators and Web3 participants to convert future earnings into NFTs, Borroe bridges the gap between the digital ownership of assets and tangible financial benefits. The paradigm shift has implications for established projects like BAYC and CryptoPunks, as it introduces a new dimension to NFT utility. Expanding the NFT Ecosystem While projects like BAYC and CryptoPunks have undoubtedly established themselves as iconic players in the NFT space, Borroe's emergence introduces a complementary layer to the ecosystem. Borroe's focus on future earnings empowers content creators and entrepreneurs in the Web3 space to leverage their income streams for immediate financial gains. Added functionality diversifies the NFT landscape, attracting investors seeking the best crypto to buy today for long-term portfolio growth. Borroe NFTs cater to a broader audience, offering an investment avenue beyond traditional art and collectibles. As a result, the NFT ecosystem becomes more inclusive, appealing to a wider range of investors and creators alike. Emphasizing Value Generation and Utility Borroe's approach to NFTs aligns seamlessly with the principles of value generation and utility that have driven projects like BAYC and CryptoPunks to success. While the latter projects have showcased the value of digital ownership and scarcity, Borroe takes it a step further by allowing NFT holders to tap into the potential of future revenue. An innovative perspective resonates with investors seeking good crypto to buy that combines innovation, utility, and growth potential. Borroe's NFTs embody a convergence of traditional financial instruments and cutting-edge blockchain technology, offering a unique proposition that can potentially reshape the NFT landscape. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Conclusion: A New Dawn for NFTs As the NFT landscape continues to evolve, projects like Borroe are redefining the rules of engagement. While BAYC and CryptoPunks remain stalwarts in the NFT space, Borroe's emergence introduces a new narrative centered around value generation, financial empowerment, and utility. Investors looking for top crypto coins and trending NFTs are now presented with a diversified array of options, each catering to different investment philosophies and goals. Borroe NFTs are not digital art pieces; they represent a paradigm shift in how we perceive ownership and financial creativity in the Web3 era. With the potential to bridge the worlds of NFTs and real-world revenue streams, Borroe's implications for projects like BAYC and CryptoPunks are undeniable.

Imperial College London and FluidAI Partner to Tackle Crypto Market's Liquidity Crunch

FluidAI

FluidAI, the fintech making tokenized market access more efficient for institutions, trading platforms, and retail investors, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with I-X, Imperial College London’s artificial intelligence (AI) initiative. It marks the world’s first-known AI partnership at a globally renowned university to be partially funded by cryptocurrency. Together, FluidAI and I-X will work to solve some of the biggest inefficiencies in digital asset markets such as fragmented liquidity. Crypto markets currently suffer from numerous problems stemming from a lack and fragmentation of liquidity, including high volatility, price slippage, vulnerability to market manipulation, and flash crashes, unlike traditional markets like equities, that have sophisticated infrastructures and settlement systems in place. “Liquidity aggregation in crypto is a global financial challenge and it spurred the founding of FluidAI, and partnering with Imperial is a continuation of our endeavours to help the industry evolve through research and development in areas that require focus such as AI,” said Ahmed Ismail, Co-founder, President, and CEO of FluidAI. “We are delighted to partner with I-X, Imperial College London’s groundbreaking AI initiative on this highly strategic and impactful project that is a global first and one that will help solve what is one of the biggest problems in the crypto industry,” he added. Imperial College London is the UK’s #3 ranked university, and has risen to 10th in the world in the latest Times Higher Education World University rankings. In March of 2021 it launched I-X, an academy strategy project that provides a co-located collaborative environment for research, education, and entrepreneurship across AI, data science, and digital technologies. As one of the world’s foremost public research universities, Imperial plays a leading global role in the development of AI, machine learning, advanced robotics, and augmented and virtual reality. It also houses the Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering, with the aim of becoming a leading international centre for research and application activity related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. "This is a great opportunity to collaborate with a high-growth company, founded by Imperial alumni, in the financial sector. We are looking forward to harnessing I-X capabilities in generative AI to venture into new technological areas together," said Professor Peter Pietzuch, Co-Director at I-X and Professor of Distributed Systems in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. Over the last year, much of the chaos in global cryptocurrency markets can be attributed to a lack and fragmentation of liquidity. The FluidAI and I-X team-up will tackle this major challenge with the ultimate goal of helping the world more easily adopt and trade digital assets. About FluidAI FluidAI makes tokenized market access more efficient for institutions, trading platforms, and retail investors by using predictive AI-based models to solve inefficiencies in digital asset markets. FluidAI is driven by technologists, academics, data scientists, institutional digital asset platform founders, and investment bankers whose experience spans across tier-one TradFi and crypto institutions such as Bank of America, HAYVN, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Jefferies, Bloomberg, Citigroup, Refinitiv, and leading data science academic institutions such as Imperial College London, and Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden.

VTS Debuts on the 2023 Inc. 5000 Annual List

VTS

Inc. revealed today that VTS, the commercial real estate industry’s only technology platform that unifies owners, operators, brokers, and tenants to capitalize on opportunities revealed in every square foot of their properties, ranked on the 2023 Inc. 5000 – its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. “VTS is honored to receive our first recognition on the Inc. 5000 list, joining the ranks among the fastest growing and most innovative companies in the country," said Nick Romito, CEO of VTS. “This is a testament to how much VTS has grown and achieved in recent years. I’m immensely thankful to our dedicated team, as well as our exceptional clients and partners who all play a critical role in our continued success." The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years. For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 23. “Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. Editor-in-Chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000 — with the fast growth that requires — is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.” VTS has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. Most recently, VTS launched its revolutionary tenant experience solution VTS Activate, which has solidified the company as the leading provider of tenant experience technology. The launch of VTS Activate follows VTS’ acquisitions of Rise Buildings in March 2021 and Lane Technologies in October 2021, both of which marked the company’s official entrance into the tenant experience space. In September 2022, VTS announced it had closed on a $125M Series E funding round, led by CBRE, making it the most well-capitalized PropTech company of its vintage. About VTS VTS is commercial real estate’s leading leasing, marketing, and asset management platform where the industry comes to make deals happen and real-time data comes to life.
