HTX Ventures Invests in Lombard to Develop the Bitcoin Restaking Ecosystem

HTX Ventures

Singapore / July 8, 2024 – To enhance the liquidity and the ecosystem for Bitcoin, HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of the cryptocurrency exchange HTX, has announced a strategic investment in Lombard. Lombard is a restaking protocol poised to catalyze growth across the Web3 ecosystem by transforming Bitcoin from a static store of value into a productive financial asset. Lombard builds its restaking product on top of the Bitcoin staking protocol Babylon, which allows individuals to use Bitcoin to secure other proof-of-stake networks. Lombard increases liquidity for staked BTC by issuing LBTC, a liquid and yield-bearing representation of BTC. LBTC can move seamlessly across chains and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms as collateral without compromising security. LBTC will soon be integrated into the most popular DeFi protocols on the Ethereum Mainnet before launching on widely used Layer 2 (L2) chains later this year. “Liquid restaking is the next revolution for the Bitcoin Ecosystem, and Lombard is the project driving this transformation,” said Edward, Managing Partner at HTX Ventures. “Lombard is rapidly expanding to onboard the LBTC token onto major ecosystems and DeFi protocols. This will enable Bitcoin to be lent, borrowed, and traded, unlocking tremendous utility for Bitcoin holders and revitalizing the BTC ecosystem. HTX Ventures is incredibly excited to partner with Lombard to empower Bitcoin holders and the broader BTC ecosystem.” “We are delighted to have HTX Ventures for investing in the development of LBTC as a new core primitive. LBTC will unlock a massive amount of net-new capital into the ecosystem and bring new liquidity and users to DeFi protocols and exchange platforms. HTX Ventures shares Lombard’s mission to accelerate on-chain finance and we look forward to building on these synergies to accelerate the growth of LBTC,” said Jacob Phillips, Co-founder, Lombard. LBTC will soon be accessible to all and supported by all chains and DeFi protocols. Join the LBTC Waitlist for exclusive access to LBTC and rewards for early participation. About Lombard Named after the historic Lombard Street in London—a hub of financial activity since the Middle Ages—Lombard symbolizes a place where all participants are connected to opportunity. By adopting the Lombard name, we rebuild its legacy on digital blocks, transforming it into a modern nexus of innovation and connectivity. Founded in April 2024, Lombard is dedicated to unlocking Bitcoin's potential as a dynamic financial tool by connecting it to DeFi.

Notcoin Continues To Freefall! Could 100x Breakout Presale Be The Answer For Bitcoin Whales?

Total Media

The continued fall of Notcoin has recently had the cryptocurrency market talking. It has recently seen its value plummet due to various factors, including market saturation and diminishing investor confidence. Amid this turmoil, Raboo offers a glimmer of hope with its 100x Breakout Presale, drawing the eyes of Bitcoin whales searching for lucrative new ventures. This presale isn't just a potential lifeline for distressed crypto investors; it's poised to catalyze significant shifts within the market. Read on as we discuss how Raboo's strategic move could redefine investment trajectories in the ever-evolving crypto landscape. Notcoin continues to freefall Notcoin has recently experienced significant market fluctuations, with a sharp decline of about 40% over the last month. This reflects the high volatility and speculative nature that often characterizes Play-to-Earn and meme-driven cryptocurrencies like Notcoin. These market dynamics highlight several issues impacting Notcoin's position in the cryptocurrency sector. The rapid changes in its value can erode investor confidence and make it challenging for long-term stability. If Notcoin fails to innovate or stabilize its market presence, it could face diminishing investor interest over time, which could have long-term detrimental effects on its valuation and utility. The broader impact on the market and investor trust revolves around this high volatility and the speculative nature of assets like Notcoin, which can lead to significant price fluctuations based on investor sentiment and market trends. Bitcoin's recent market performance Bitcoin's recent market downturn can be attributed to a few significant factors. With a 12.4% decline in the last month, one major contributor has been the large-scale selling by the German government, which has offloaded substantial Bitcoin holdings, triggering price volatility. A general slowdown in whale trading activity has also played a role. These whales have reduced their transactions drastically, indicating a cautious approach, which usually leads to decreased market liquidity and lowered prices. This downturn has led Bitcoin whales to explore other investment avenues, seeking higher returns with lower price volatility. New and promising projects like Raboo's 100x breakout presale are drawing attention as alternative investment opportunities. Bitcoin's fluctuations influence the broader crypto market, impacting investment strategies and the financial dynamics within the crypto space. Such shifts underscore the interconnected nature of the market, where significant moves by influential entities or changes in a leading cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can ripple across the entire ecosystem. Could 100x breakout presale be the answer for Bitcoin whales? Raboo's 100x breakout presale has captured the attention of major investors, including Bitcoin whales, thanks to its innovative use of AI technology and a robust community-driven approach. The presale highlights features such as AI-enhanced user interactions and a Post-to-Earn model, which incentivises user participation and content creation. Now in its fourth stage, priced at an attractive $0.0048, Raboo has experienced a 60% increase since its initial price offering of $0.003, with over $1.6 million raised, 10,000 registered users, and 2,900 token holders. This impressive growth showcases its appeal as a dynamic player in the evolving meme coin sector. The strategic maneuvers behind Raboo's presale include targeted marketing campaigns that leverage social media platforms and crypto forums to enhance visibility and attract a diverse investor base, distinguishing it from competitors like Notcoin, which has struggled amid market volatility and investor skepticism. Raboo's successful presale strategy contrasts Notcoin's challenges and positions it as a compelling investment opportunity for Bitcoin whales seeking high returns in the memecoin market. Conclusion As Notcoin navigates its market challenges, Raboo's 100x breakout presale emerges as a beacon for investors, especially Bitcoin whales seeking high-growth prospects. This shift could redefine investment strategies within the cryptocurrency sphere, illustrating the impact of innovative presales on broader market dynamics. Investors are advised to keep a close eye on Raboo's ongoing presale, which promises to influence the market's future trajectory and offer substantial returns. This pivotal moment could reshape how investments flow in the volatile crypto landscape. You can participate in the Raboo presale here.

RedStone's modular nature enables it to provide data feeds that are unavailable elsewhere, specializing in yield-bearing collateral for lending markets, especially LSTs and LRTs. Its modular pricing engine ensures the highest accuracy and relevance by consistently updating.

"RedStone is introducing an exciting advancement to DeFi with its modular design," said Edward, Managing Partner at HTX Ventures. "DeFi users will benefit from new and precise data feeds, as well as push and pull data services. RedStone's chain-agnostic feature allows it to provide services across various layers. At HTX Ventures, we are thrilled to witness new innovations within the oracle space and are eager to collaborate on building better infrastructure and tools for DeFi." Jakub Wojciechowski, CEO of RedStone Oracles, commented, "This Series A round gives us ample financial runway to broaden our suite of services while bringing reliable real-world data to a host of blockchain-based protocols. Sincere thanks to our investors and community for their fervent support, and believe me when I say - we are just getting started."
