Haruko expands into Southeast Asia with $6m funding round to eliminate inefficiencies in digital asset management

Haruko

Helping institutional investors engage with digital assets in a secure and regulated environment, digital asset investment management platform Haruko is today announcing a $6m funding round as it expands into Southeast Asia and further consolidate its global presence. This follows heightened interest in the region of its industry-leading portfolio and risk management solutions for digital asset investment professionals. The series A funding round was co-led by White Star Capital’s Digital Asset Fund and MMC Ventures. Haruko has now raised $16m in venture capital funding. Founded in 2021, Haruko has quickly scaled across North America and Europe with a client base of over 50 investment management institutions and has offices in London and Singapore. Haruko has gained significant traction across all market participants including hedge funds, family offices, market makers, treasury teams and prime brokerages. It also has notably high adoption among large-scale trading firms owing to its unparalleled depth of functionality, comprehensive exchange (CeFi), on-chain (DeFi) and over-the-counter (OTC) venue coverage and multi-product support. “Haruko is laser-focused on building institutional-grade solutions for the future of the investment industry and providing a white-glove service to exceed our clients’ expectations consistently” said Shamyl Malik, co-founder and CEO of Haruko. “Despite having had several opportunities for growth through acquisition, we instead prioritised our seamless user experience, stayed true to our day one goal and built our market-leading solution entirely in-house. We never deviate from our mission of creating best-in-class technology, simplifying complexity for our clients and supporting their goal of revenue generation, be it through pure alpha creation or franchise building.” “We’re looking forward to continuing our global expansion, investing in exceptionally talented team members to support us in our goal of building out an industry-leading, end-to-end solution for digital assets and the future of the finance industry. We will continue to invest singularly in this mission, ensuring the quality of our products and services is at the forefront of all our activity.” added Malik.

Over that time our conviction that institutional ownership of digital assets will increase, and with it, the need for sophisticated infrastructure has grown. It is clear that the post-trade part of the digital asset landscape which Haruko focuses on has been poorly served to date and we believe that Shamyl and team have the deep domain knowledge required to solve this problem.” Haruko is setting a new standard for fintech solutions in digital assets, earning accolades such as HFM’s Most Innovative Technology Firm and HedgeWeek’s Best New Solution Provider in 2023, and offering solutions used by the entire digital asset ecosystem.

HTX Unveils "Earn with Pending Orders" #2 with Upsized Rewards: Post BTC/USDT in Spot Trades to Split 32.2B $HTX

HTX

HTX’s "Earn with Pending Orders" event has garnered widespread praise and active participation since its debut on 26 June. HTX, in response to user feedback, has adjusted the event rules and is now launching the 2nd phase of "Earn with Pending Orders". Users can participate by posting BTC/USDT in spot trades to share in a prize pool of 32.2 billion $HTX, with rewards distributed around the clock. New Feature: Enjoy Non-Stop Rewards with Minute-by-Minute Snapshots Following "Trade to Earn," HTX launches "Earn with Pending Orders," another innovative product aimed at enriching users' trading experiences. According to HTX's official announcement, the 2nd phase of "Earn with Pending Orders" event will last from 10:00 (UTC) on July 10, 2024, to 10:00 (UTC) on July 17, 2024, featuring BTC/USDT as the designated spot trading pair. During the event period, the platform will take random snapshots of pending orders for BTC/USDT spot trades every minute. Based on these snapshots, the platform will calculate rewards separately for qualifying buy and sell orders. These rewards can be accumulated throughout the event. Pending orders are considered valid if they meet two requirements: ● Minimum order amount: Pending orders must be limit orders with a minimum amount of 100 USDT at the time of the snapshot, defined as order price * order quantity ≥ 100 USDT. ● Order price: The price of pending orders should not deviate by more than 0.5% from the latest executed price (closing price) at the time of the snapshot. Here is an example. Let's assume the latest executed price (closing price) at the time of the snapshot for BTC/USDT is 60,000 USDT. The threshold range is ±0.5%. Therefore, the upper limit price for pending orders will be 60,300 USDT (calculated as 60,000 x 1.005), and the lower limit price will be 59,700 USDT (calculated as 60,000 x 0.995). Therefore, valid pending orders must have prices at the time of the snapshot between 59,700 USDT and 60,300 USDT (59,700 USDT < Pending order price < 60,300 USDT). Optimized Rules: Now Open to API Users and Offer Upsized Rewards In comparison to the initial phase of "Earn with Pending Orders", the second phase incorporates two major rule upgrades: API users are now eligible to participate in this event; and an extra prize pool has been included, boosting total rewards to 32.2 billion $HTX. Details are stated below: ● Reward 1: Post BTC Orders and Split 27.2 Billion $HTX The event boasts a total prize pool of 27,200,000,000 $HTX, with a daily prize pool of 3,885,714,285 $HTX, and a per-minute prize pool of 2,698,412 $HTX. All valid pending orders are eligible for this reward. Every minute, users will share the prize pool proportionally based on the order amounts of their pending orders. A user's reward per minute for pending orders = Reward pool per minute * (User's pending order amount / Total amount of all valid pending orders). For example: Let's assume that, in a specific minute, the total amount of all eligible pending orders is 1000 USDT, and User A has a pending order amounting to 100 USDT. According to the provided reward calculation formula, User A's reward can be calculated as 2,698,412 $HTX * (100/1000). Therefore, User A would receive a reward of 269,841.2 $HTX for that minute. ● Reward 2: Users with Pending Orders Falling within the ±0.1% Threshold Range to Share Extra 5 Billion $HTX Based on the aforementioned reward rules, during each snapshot, users with pending orders within the ±0.1% threshold range of the buy and sell prices will be eligible to share an extra prize pool. The extra prize pool totals 5,000,000,000 $HTX, with daily distributions of 714,285,714 $HTX and minute-by-minute allocations of 496,032 $HTX. The distribution of the prize pool remains consistent with the rules stated above. Please note that users need to click "Register Now" in the announcement to participate in the event. The hourly reward cap for each participant in this event is 90,909,090 $HTX. A participant will not receive any more rewards if either the hourly reward cap for the participant or the hourly prize pool limit is reached.

Reid Hoffman Wished Death Upon Trump & Funded ‘Lawfare;’ He Must Be Removed from Microsoft’s Board & Defense Innovation Board

NLPC

Following the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pa. on Saturday, National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) is calling upon tech entrepreneur Reid Hoffman to resign his seat on the board of directors for Microsoft Corporation. Should he refuse to step down, then the Microsoft Chairman and Lead Independent Director must take steps along with fellow directors to remove him. The shareholder group is also calling for Hoffman’s removal from the Defense Innovation Board (DIB), a body organized under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to make recommendations regarding technological modernization of the military. DIB is currently chaired by Michael Bloomberg. At the billionaires’ retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho, this week, Mr. Hoffman reportedly engaged in a vigorous debate with fellow tech executive Peter Thiel over how the LinkedIn co-founder’s funding of “lawfare” has turned Trump into a “martyr.” According to a report by Puck News, Mr. Hoffman responded to Mr. Thiel, “Yeah, I wish I had made him an actual martyr.” Previously, Hoffman was also widely known for introducing Jeffrey Epstein to other Silicon Valley figures. According to Luke Perlot, associate director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project: “As shareholders of Microsoft, we call on Mr. Hoffman to resign, or be removed, from the board of directors. His ongoing presence on the board is a stain on Microsoft’s reputation and would implicitly condone his statements and actions.” According to Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project: “Sarcasm or not, Hoffman has made clear that he doesn’t think Donald Trump has any civil rights, and that he and other billionaires should pick the president, not the American people. Some holders of great wealth seek to help the less fortunate or promote freedom and decency. Hoffman has instead sought to undermine democratic norms and values. We repeat our call that we made last year that Mr. Hoffman be removed from Microsoft’s board as well as the Defense Innovation Board.” According to Peter Flaherty, NLPC Chairman: “The Defense Innovation Board is engaged in the task of using technology to strengthen our defense in a dangerous world. It conducts serious business. It is no place for an unserious character like Reid Hoffman. For one thing, his associations with Jeffrey Epstein make him a security threat. For another, funding lawsuits by the likes of E. Jean Carroll and wishing martyrdom on Donald Trump should disqualify him from any government board or position.” Founded in 1991, the National Legal and Policy Center promotes ethics in public life through research, investigation, education and legal action.

A Modern Pairing: Siyata Mobile And Zello Announce Integration Of Top-Rated App And SD7 Handset

Siyata Mobile Inc.

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga Innovation is occurring everywhere, even with the walkie-talkie, more formally known as a handheld transceiver. Recently, Siyata Mobile (NASDAQ: SYTA), a global developer and vendor of Push-to-Talk over Cellular handsets and accessories, announced that the Zello push-to-talk (PTT) application is now available on Siyata’s SD7 push-to-talk handset. Siyata Mobile Inc. is disrupting a legacy, multi-billion-dollar two-way radio market, and this strategic initiative with Zello elevates the firm’s competitive position and strengthens its value proposition in the minds of its existing customers as well as potential prospects. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Canada, Siyata Mobile Inc. aims to be the global leader in the growing Push-to-Talk over Cellular industry by disrupting the legacy Land Mobile Radio (LMR) Industry with next-generation communication technology. The firm has gained prominence as a developer and provider of technologically advanced rugged smartphones, in-vehicle mounted cellular communications devices and cellular signal boosters. Siyata has customers throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and the Middle East. The Growing Push-To-Talk Over Cellular Market As the name suggests, Push-to-Talk over Cellular uses mobile networks to relay communications to another handset. It supports all the advanced features of digital mobile radios and combines them with 4G or 5G bandwidth and nationwide coverage. Research published by Allied Market Research valued the Push-to-Talk over Cellular market at $3.43 billion in 2019 and projects it to reach $6.95 billion by 2027. Compared to LMR, Push-to-Talk over Cellular handsets work virtually anywhere on cellular networks, support third-party data applications and are less capital intensive for customers, as they have a lower price point and do not require investment in tower sites. Siyata Mobile’s Strategic Initiatives For the fiscal year 2023, Siyata Mobile’s reported revenue and gross profit were $8.23 million and $2.66 million, respectively, an increase of 27.0% and 91.2% from the previous year. Regarding the firm’s business model, Siyata Mobile markets its devices with leading cellular carriers and their distributors, who sell them to enterprise customers. Leveraging these carrier sales channels and their broad customer base with Siyata Mobile’s product portfolio means the firm can maintain a lean operating cost structure. Siyata Mobile gives carriers the ability to activate a SIM card and generate income otherwise not captured with customers who use LMR. Siyata Mobile’s integration with the Zello push-to-talk application is a strategic initiative that elevates the value proposition of the firm’s product offering. Zello is a live voice push-to-talk communication platform that turns any smart device into a digital two-way radio that works over Wi-Fi and cellular networks anywhere in the world. Purpose-built to connect frontline teams and communities, the push-to-talk walkie-talkie app offers instant voice communication with one or many in unlimited secure, private channels, as well as message replay, emergency alerts, location tracking, dispatch capabilities and Bluetooth device support. As one of the world’s most popular Push-to-Talk applications with more than 175 million users registered worldwide and 99.99% uptime, Zello is simple to use and easily connects frontline and operations teams with a platform that is easy to use. In speaking about Zello's integration with Siyata Mobile, Public safety customer Evan Shegoski from River Road Rescue Squad in New Jersey commented, “We are enthused to be able to deploy the feature-rich Zello for Business solution on our SD7 devices. We have long been a proponent of this combined solution which pairs this leading PTT platform with offerings directly comparable to the same features we expect from a traditional LMR solution accessible through the only device on the market that not only acts like a traditional LMR radio, but is also receives regular product development, improvement, and support. This combined solution offers promise as a scalable solution across multiple geographic regions with a truly reasonable price point for deployment in terms of end-user device, LMR integrations and PTT network. Siyata and Zello together breaks us free of the bloated costs and bureaucracy that routinely plagues LMR public safety solutions. We cannot wait to see what the future holds as this offering continues to be developed.” Lieutenant Brian Hess of Westchester County Police – which recently purchased several hundred Siyata SD7 handsets for use with Zello for operations throughout the county – added a further endorsement, stating, “We are pleased that the Siyata SD7 is available with Zello PTT since this handset is what our county needs to keep in touch effectively to provide the level of service that the residents of the County require.” The Path Forward As a business-to-business global developer and vendor of next-generation Push-To-Talk over Cellular handsets and accessories, Siyata Mobile continually seeks to enhance the utility it provides to its customers, which includes police, fire and ambulance organizations as well as schools, utilities, security companies, hospitals, waste management companies, resorts and many other organizations. The firm’s strategic integration of the Zello application within the SD7 Handset bolsters the usefulness and capability of the product for the individuals that protect, serve and maintain the well-being of our society.
