Il co-fondatore di Neo propone una revisione del Tesoro da 461 milioni di dollari mentre la disputa pubblica con Zhang si intensifica.

$ NEO co-founder Da Hongfei has proposed a sweeping restructuring of the Neo Foundation, bringing a long-running internal dispute with fellow co-founder Erik Zhang into public view. The proposal follows Neo's first financial disclosure since 2019, which revealed $461 million in combined assets held across the Neo Foundation and Neo Global Development. Under Hongfei's plan, the foundation would be redomiciled in the Cayman Islands, governed by a newly formed five-member board alongside an independent supervisor. In an unusual move, the proposal would bar both co-founders from sitting on the board for a period of 24 months. A companion initiative, dubbed "Giveback II," would return 49.5 million reserved $ NEO tokens to the community. Zhang has pushed back sharply. Writing on X, the @Neo_Blockchain co-founder dismissed the Cayman redomicile as a "cosmetic shell change," arguing the structure still leaves room for opaque third-party attestations rather than transparent, verifiable onchain addresses. Hongfei, for his part, offered a candid assessment of the network's recent trajectory. He acknowledged that Neo's user base has contracted significantly since 2021, attributing part of the decline to delays in the N3 upgrade that caused the project to miss the DeFi boom, as well as a loss of activity in the Chinese market. Looking ahead, Hongfei is positioning Neo X as an "agent-first" blockchain designed to serve autonomous AI agents transacting onchain, a strategy he hopes can define a new role for the network as competition in the layer-one space intensifies.

La società cinese Deepseek punta a una valutazione di 10 miliardi di dollari nella sua prima raccolta fondi.

DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence startup that rattled Western technology markets earlier this year, is seeking a valuation of more than $10 billion in what would be its first external fundraising round, according to reports. The Hangzhou-based company, which gained global attention in January 2026 after releasing its R1 model at a fraction of the cost of comparable US-built systems, is now looking to convert that momentum into institutional capital. The move marks a significant step for a lab that had, until now, operated without outside investment. Investor interest is said to be substantial. DeepSeek has positioned its large language models as credible alternatives to those developed by OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, and the fundraise appears designed to deepen that challenge by scaling its compute and engineering capacity. The reported valuation reflects the premium investors are currently placing on proprietary AI infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region, where competition for dominance in foundation model development has intensified sharply over the past 12 months. For context, OpenAI closed a $40 billion funding round in March 2026 at a $300 billion valuation, according to Reuters, underscoring just how aggressively capital is flowing into frontier AI at the global level. DeepSeek's comparatively lean operation entering the fundraising market at this stage will be closely watched by both investors and policymakers in the West.

X genera 1 miliardo di dollari di volume di scambi pochi giorni dopo il lancio di Cashtags

Secondo quanto riportato, X avrebbe generato un volume di scambi globali stimato in 1 miliardo di dollari nei giorni successivi al lancio della sua nuova funzionalità CashTags, segnalando un ingresso rapido e significativo nel settore dei mercati finanziari. @NikitaBier, Head of Product at X, shared the figures publicly, pointing to the scale of activity captured since the feature went live on Tuesday night. The milestone suggests strong early demand from users looking to move seamlessly between social content and financial execution on a single platform. The CashTags feature allows users to engage with market-relevant content tied directly to specific assets, effectively turning X's vast user base into a potential trading audience. The speed at which volume accumulated raises questions about how much of that activity reflects genuine market participation versus early experimentation, though the headline figure alone is drawing attention across the industry. X owner Elon Musk has long signalled ambitions to transform the platform into an everything app, with financial services central to that vision. The early trading volume figures, if sustained, would mark a notable step toward making that a reality and position X as a platform that traditional brokerages and fintech players may need to take seriously.

Mitsui lancia i primi cripto-asset garantiti da materie prime in Giappone sulla mainnet operativa.

Mitsui & Co. Digital Commodities is bringing Zipangcoin to OP Mainnet, marking a significant step for one of Japan's largest trading houses into public blockchain infrastructure. The launch covers three regulated, yield-bearing tokens: $ZPG per l'oro, $ZPGAG per l'argento e $ZPGPT for platinum. Each token is backed one-to-one by physical precious metals, positioning them as institutional-grade digital assets designed to bridge traditional commodity markets with decentralized finance. Built on the @Ottimismo stack, i token sono programmati per essere quotati su @Gmo_coin il 20 aprile. Questa mossa rappresenta uno degli esempi più concreti finora di un importante conglomerato giapponese che si impegna a utilizzare infrastrutture blockchain pubbliche per la tokenizzazione di asset reali.

XRP raggiunge quota 1.5 dollari con la ripresa del mercato.

I mercati delle criptovalute sono in generale in ripresa dopo gli ultimi segnali di Donald Trump, con $ BTC e $ XRP condurre la carica. $ XRP has climbed more than 6% over the past 24 hours, briefly touching the $1.50 mark. Momentum appears to be building, with traders watching closely for a continued move higher. The broader market is also participating in the recovery. $ BNB, $ SOLe $ ETH Tutti questi titoli registrano guadagni significativi, a testimonianza di una rinnovata propensione al rischio in tutto il settore.

Il Bitcoin supera i 77,000 dollari mentre Trump conferma la fine dell'attacco israeliano al Libano.

$ BTC surged past $77,000 for the first time since February 3rd after Donald Trump confirmed that Israel is ending its attack on Lebanon, a development that appears to have lifted risk appetite across markets. The flagship cryptocurrency's move higher reflects a familiar pattern in which geopolitical de-escalation tends to boost demand for risk assets. $ BTC had been trading below that level for more than two months before the news broke. Trump's confirmation of a ceasefire arrangement between Israel and Lebanon provided the catalyst, with traders moving quickly to reprice assets in response to the reduced uncertainty.

Un membro del Congresso degli Stati Uniti si assicura un ingente acquisto di Bitcoin.

La deputata statunitense Sheri Biggs ha presentato una dichiarazione finanziaria che rivela un acquisto fino a 250,000 dollari in $ BTC, according to data from Quiver Quantitative. The transaction is among the largest direct investments in digital assets reported by a sitting member of Congress, underscoring a notable shift in how some federal lawmakers are allocating personal capital. Biggs, a Republican representing South Carolina's 3rd congressional district, made the disclosure in line with the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, which requires members of Congress to report securities transactions within 45 days. The move comes as $ BTC Continua ad attirare l'attenzione istituzionale e politica.

Il Bitcoin supera i 76 dollari, il petrolio WTI crolla dopo la riapertura dello Stretto di Hormuz.

WTI crude oil prices plummeted more than 7% after Iran announced it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial traffic, wiping out what traders had priced in as a geopolitical risk premium. The move extended total losses on the day to more than 12% as the so-called war premium rapidly evaporated from global energy markets. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical oil chokepoints, with roughly 20% of global petroleum liquids passing through it, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Any disruption to the waterway has historically sent energy prices sharply higher, and its reopening has had the opposite effect. $ BTC touched $76K for the second time in the same session, offering a contrast to the turmoil in commodity markets. The divergence has drawn attention to Bitcoin's behaviour during periods of macroeconomic stress, with some investors treating it as a hedge against geopolitical uncertainty rather than a risk asset correlated with traditional markets. The restoration of commercial shipping access through the strait effectively brings an end to the maritime blockade that had driven energy prices toward elevated levels in recent weeks. With supply-side stability returning, analysts will be watching closely to see whether oil's losses stabilise or deepen as markets fully price in the change.
