BenevolentAI CEO Dr Joerg Moeller discusses AI's impact on drug discovery

BenevolentAI

BenevolentAI CEO Dr Joerg Moeller tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion how the company is positioning itself as a pioneer in AI-augmented drug discovery, aiming to enhance the success rates of drug development by identifying optimal targets early in the process. The company operates on three strategic pillars: advancing its proprietary pipeline of molecules for high medical need indications with limited treatment options, offering comprehensive drug discovery services through collaborations with notable industry partners such as AstraZeneca and Merck KGaA, and providing a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for knowledge exploration. This multi-faceted approach not only drives BenevolentAI's scientific endeavours but also underpins its business model, which generates revenue through pipeline progression, collaboration milestones, and the innovative SaaS offering. A key example of the platform's validation is the repurposing of baricitinib, an Eli Lilly drug, for COVID-19 treatment based on BenevolentAI's insights. Dr Moeller's belief in AI's transformative potential in R&D is reinforced by the company's capabilities and the dedication of its team. Near-term milestones include anticipated results from a Phase 1a study of their lead program in ulcerative colitis, with strategic goals focusing on pipeline advancement, forging more partnerships, and exploring the viability of their SaaS model for sustainable growth.

How AI Could Revolutionize the $25 Billion Property Management Industry

MarketJar

As artificial intelligence (AI) quickly transforms entire sectors, one $25 billion industry is lagging behind. In a world where you can do almost everything with the tap of a button on your phone —order food, call an Uber, make dinner reservations, preheat your oven and even buy a car—the property management industry is stuck in the past and still relying heavily on paper-based transactions, cheque payments, manual amenity bookings, home walk-throughs with clipboard checklists and more. The lack of innovation is not only inefficient, it can be very costly. It also doesn’t fit in with shifting industry dynamics. More and more people are opting to rent instead of buy property and a record number of rental homes and communities are being built across the nation to meet rising demand., Clearly, the need for a streamlined approach that connects the industry from construction to leasing to property management is essential. AI can tap into data on properties, communities, tenants, and markets to tailor tools for property management-specific tasks, like screening tenants, maintenance calendars, collecting rent payments, managing common areas and writing listings. The implementation of AI can also lead to new ways for property managers and developers to make money. According to McKinsey Global Institute, AI could create $110 billion to $180 billion in value for the industry. It could also help companies gain 10% or more in net operating income through more efficient operating models, tenant retention, stronger customer experience, smarter asset selection, and new revenue streams. The problem is, it’s not just about plugging in a technology solution and expecting miracles. Property management companies are quickly learning that applying AI effectively requires a careful approach. It's about aligning the technology closely with business goals to truly unlock its value. As AI development progresses, more tools are being developed that cater to the property management market. That’s where Tribe Property Technologies (TSXV:TRBE) (OTCQB:TRPTF) comes into play. Unlike other companies that offer piecemeal solutions, Tribe Property Technologies offers a full suite of tech-elevated property management solutions that cover everything from pre-construction to post-occupancy. One of these innovative solutions is an AI-powered reporting tool that provides property managers with enhanced reporting and benchmarking capabilities. Tribe simply needs to enter a building’s address and its historical maintenance documents, and its AI will generate a comprehensive report on the building’s past and present issues, insurance information, repair and maintenance expenses, and other details that can empower the condo boards, strata councils and community managers to better understand the operational and financial health of their building. The managers can then optimize forward-looking planning and work to reduce their property’s operational costs. Tribe Makes it Easy to Build, Manage, and Live in Residential Communities Tribe Property Technologies (TSXV:TRBE) (OTCQB:TRPTF) is offering one of the most comprehensive and innovative solutions to an industry in desperate need of change. Tribe offers a range of services and tools tailored to different stakeholders, including Stratas & HomeOwners Associations, (or HOAs), building developers, owners, landlords, and property managers. These tools include council voting tools, AI-powered building health reports, easy payment systems, and more, all aimed at improving efficiency and enhancing the overall living experience. This all-encompassing approach not only cuts customer acquisition costs and improves retention but also enables seamless integration of value-added products and services within the platform. By offering end-to-end solutions for all community living stakeholders, Tribe Property Technologies has established multiple revenue streams. With a focus on market penetration, Tribe has achieved rapid revenue growth and a leading market position, ranking #45 in Canada on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ after achieving 361% revenue growth between 2019 and 2022. Backed by an experienced, multi-disciplinary management team, Tribe has a proven aggressive M&A strategy, with plans to expand in the Canadian and US markets. In December, Tribe Property Technologies completed the acquisition of Meritus Group Management, a property management company specializing in tech-driven solutions for condominium and multi-family residential communities. The acquisition expands Tribe’s footprint in Ontario, adding over 5,000 additional homes under its management, and boosts its bottom line. Tribe now manages over 45,000 homes across Canada, with expansion plans into the United States. But that’s just one of the deals in the company’s robust pipeline. Tribe Property has completed 12 acquisitions to date to improve profitability, with efforts focused on workflow optimizations, back-end service consolidation and other cost reduction initiatives. The company plans to continue its M&A growth strategy, focusing on targets that expand its technology and introduce Tribe to new geographical markets. Tribe 's focus on profitability has led to a 34% year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2023. The company remains dedicated to delivering value to its shareholders and is committed to achieving significant milestones that will solidify its financial stability and maximize shareholder value. Tribe Property Technologies (TSXV:TRBE) (OTCQB:TRPTF) is well-positioned to disrupt the property management industry with its innovative approach, experienced team, and aggressive growth strategy.

Crossword Cybersecurity PLC

Crossword Cybersecurity PLC (AIM:CCS) group managing director Stuart Jubb joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of Trillion HarVista, a novel dark web search tool designed to enhance the capabilities of the Trillion Threat Intelligence suite of products.

Roughly Half of Nations That Invest in AI Develop Their Own Generative Models, Reveals the First Global GenAI Landscape

AIport

AIport, an online community dedicated to covering the latest international ML developments, has crafted the first volume of its Global Generative AI Landscape 2024. This initial edition examines notable GenAI players worldwide across several key categories. This is the first generative AI landscape analysis to emphasize regional attributes and encompass four times more nations than the average GenAI landscape available to the public. The research process involved examining all 62 countries invested in the AI market, as featured in the Global AI Index by Tortoise. In-house model developers were identified, filtered by the team of editors and data scientists, and subsequently cross-referenced with current GenAI landscapes from Sequoia Capital, Antler, Base10, and others, before being segmented into ten GenAI categories. As the final step, the data was divided into continental regions: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. The first volume of the global GenAI landscape from AIport aims to present a balanced view of international companies, encompassing not only Western firms, but also those from other regions. The landscape offers a comprehensive analysis, detailing which players are developing GenAI solutions, their locations, and the specific nature of their contributions. It contains a total of 128 generative models from 107 companies. As Avi Chawla, a data scientist and community manager at AIport, put it: “We noticed that many generative AI landscapes tend to focus either on the Silicon Valley giants or the tech powerhouses of Europe, covering no more than 10 countries on average. While this approach does serve its purpose, it can’t really offer a complete picture. To address this, we decided to dig deeper, and this is what we came up with after weeks of research. We believe Volume 1 of our Global Generative AI Landscape 2024 provides an objectively international outlook. And we’re also planning to delve into other aspects of GenAI more closely in the future.” The landscape and key highlights Of the 62 countries listed in the Global AI Index, only 35 develop their GenAI solutions in-house. Roughly 90% of them focus on one model type. Regional leaders by the number of active GenAI companies are North America – USA; South America – Argentina; Europe – UK and France; Asia – China and Israel; Oceania – Australia and New Zealand; Africa – South Africa. The average number of GenAI models per company is the highest in North America, being the only region to have at least one model from each of the 10 model categories. Approximately 10% of all companies covered in the study have implemented multimodality in their GenAI models, with a majority of these developers located in the US. This indicates that while multimodality represents an emerging trend, its adoption outside North America still remains in the nascent stages. A total of 11 companies worldwide have developed more than one type of GenAI model. Stability AI leads with five distinct GenAI model types (image, video, audio, 3D, and code), followed closely by OpenAI (chatbot, audio, video, and multimodal) and Google (text, image, audio, and multimodal) – both with four model types. Microsoft, Meta, Tencent, Baidu, and Yandex are among those companies that developed between two to three types of distinct GenAI models. 13 companies have developed multiple models within a single GenAI category. AssemblyAI has two speech-to-text models, MosaicML offers two iterations of its MPT for code generation, while IPOXCap has introduced two chatbots designed for business intelligence applications. About AIport AIport is an online community of AI writers, researchers, and data scientists that aims to provide a transnational perspective on AI. Recognizing that most ML-related publications primarily focus on the “big leagues” in the West, AIport seeks to be more inclusive by widening the angle and broadening the narrative. This approach ensures a more diverse and impartial representation, offering a well-rounded take to the global AI community.

Comcast Boosts Speeds for More Than 12 Million Xfinity Internet Customers

Comcast California

Today, millions of Xfinity Internet customers who subscribe to value-focused products – Connect, Connect More, Fast and Prepaid – are waking up to faster speeds at no additional cost. As the need for data increases in ever-connected households, Xfinity is ensuring customers can stream, surf, and share on a network and service they can rely on today and in the future. “For more than 20 years, we have shown our appreciation to our customers with annual speed increases,” said Emily Waldorf, Senior Vice President, Consumer Internet Services, Comcast. “Streaming live sports, gaming, and other data-rich applications are driving Internet consumption to new heights, and with the potential that funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program will not be renewed, this year we have really leaned into boosting speeds for our value portfolio so all our customers can take advantage of these new capabilities.” Starting today, new and existing customers can take advantage of the following speed increases: Connect: 75 Mbps to 150 Mbps Connect More: 200 Mbps to 300 Mbps Fast: 400 Mbps to 500 Mbps Xfinity Prepaid: 50 Mbps to 200 Mbps Value Beyond Fast Speeds The speed increases rolling out today are made possible by Comcast’s fiber-based network which has been built to deliver an exceptional Internet experience, ubiquitously, to the more than 60 million homes and businesses across the country. It is a culmination of years of research, technological breakthroughs, and massive investments, more than $20 billion since 2018 alone, in development and infrastructure. Fast speed is an important feature of a comprehensive connectivity experience that also combines this powerful network with sophisticated hardware and software to deliver incredible benefits to consumers: Reliability – Fast Internet speeds won’t matter if you don’t have a reliable broadband connection. Xfinity has greater than 99 percent reliability, and the Xfinity network utilizes artificial intelligence to keep customers connected by fixing issues before they even affect homes. Digital Security – xFi Advanced Security, included for free for customers who lease an Xfinity gateway, protects connected devices from malware and other threats at the gateway before they reach connected household devices. Since launching xFi Advanced Security, Xfinity has stopped more than 10 billion cyber security threats. Next-Level WiFi – Next-generation Xfinity gateways deliver advanced WiFi capacity to power hundreds of devices in homes and more than a billion devices each year across Comcast’s network. Later this year, Comcast will introduce its latest gateway, the XB10, the first to incorporate unified DOCSIS 4.0, WiFi 7, and AI technologies. The XB10 will be capable of delivering symmetrical multi-gig speeds over WiFi and connect up to 300 devices. WiFi Boost Pods work with Xfinity gateways to extend WiFi coverage to hard-to-reach areas of the home. The latest WiFi extender, Storm-Ready WiFi, is Xfinity’s most powerful device to date and helps maintain a strong connection even if the power goes out. Visit an Xfinity store or visit Xfinity.com to learn more about Storm-Ready WiFi. Keeping Customers Connected The federal government recently announced that the Affordable Connectivity Program could end as early as April if it does not receive additional funding. The speed increases rolling out today will help to ensure those who may be affected by the end of ACP will continue to have access to fast, affordable, reliable Internet options. Xfinity Promotional Offers – Xfinity is making its current promotional offers on other tiers of service available for new and existing ACP participants. Customers are encouraged to call 1-800-Xfinity to learn more about what offers may be available in their area. Teams are ready to work with customers to move them to a plan that best fits their budget and connectivity needs if they will no longer be able to afford their current tier of service without the $30 ACP benefit. Internet Essentials – Xfinity customers benefitting from ACP are automatically eligible to enroll in Internet Essentials for as low as $9.95 a month or Internet Essentials Plus, which doubles the speed of traditional Internet Essentials for $29.95 per month. Both services provide fast and reliable home Internet with no credit checks or cancellation fees and come with equipment included.

HTX: A Look Back at 2023 and Preparing for a Bright 2024

HTX

The crypto market kicked off 2024 with an impressive start. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs drove the currency's price to repeatedly reach new highs; Crypto+AI emerged as the top crypto gainer; the Layer 2 sector is poised to surge as the Ethereum Dencun Upgrade nears...Combined with halving and rate cuts, the market is ushering in a new chapter. As a leading crypto exchange, HTX has witnessed and participated in the transformations unfolding in the crypto market. At the beginning of 2024, the exchange became one of the HTX DAO builders, dedicated to establishing a people-centered exchange. This initiative aims to break the traditional order of CEXs and pioneer a new era in the industry. In a review of 2023, HTX experienced similar instances of innovation and breakthroughs, marking significant milestones along the way. I. Platform Data 1. User Base HTX has accumulated over 46 million registered users, with 5 million new registrations in 2023 alone and nearly 54.3 billion dual-end accesses (app and website). 2. Trading Volume HTX's total annual trading volume approached $1.3 trillion, with spot trades contributing nearly 46.1%, approximately $600 billion. According to The Block, by the end of 2023, HTX's monthly spot trading volume increased by about 324.4% from the beginning of the year, showing a generally increasing trend month by month. 3. Deposit/Withdrawal HTX's P2P business has shown robust growth, with a trading volume of nearly $7.2 billion and 6.43 million orders in 2023. By the end of 2023, HTX's monthly P2P trading volume surged by 278% compared to the beginning of the year, demonstrating a consistent monthly growth trend. II. New Listings 1. New Assets * The data presented in the image reflects information as of December 25, 2023, and may vary slightly from the current data at the time of writing. In 2023, HTX added 123 cryptocurrencies and listed 134 spot trading pairs, covering popular sectors like new public chains, BRC20, Meme, Solana, and AI. This move not only led the crypto trend but also catered to the investment needs of different users. HTX's listing of many large market cap projects in terms of new public chains, including SUI, SEI, and TIA, attracted a significant influx of new users. Moreover, the participation of market makers substantially boosted the platform's trading volume. Related tokens experienced remarkable surges, with SUI and SEI skyrocketing by 206 times and 178 times, respectively, while TIA witnessed a sixfold growth after listing for trading, attributed to the concept of modularization. In terms of memecoins, HTX adopted a rapid and efficient strategy to enhance users' wealth. For example, by pioneering the listing of PEPE and BONK – resulting in PEPE soaring nearly 2,000 times – HTX gained recognition from numerous new traders. As Bitcoin inscriptions emerged as a focal point in the second half of 2023, HTX promptly ventured into the BRC-20 sector, listing SATS ahead of Binance and OKX. Notably, ORDI, one of HTX's first inscription listings, saw a 53-fold increase, contributing to a new high in user growth. Other popular sectors also witnessed impressive growth: WLD in the AI sector led with a 54-fold rise; HTX's exclusive debut token UNIBOT soared to $240 from $16, making a 15-fold gain. 2. PrimeVote In 2023, HTX launched nine rounds of PrimeVote, attracting over 500 projects to sign up. Among the 100-some enrolled projects, users voted for nine to be listed on HTX. Furthermore, the platform issued rewards totaling more than 2.3 million USDT to participants. The 10th round saw a record-breaking participation of over 10,000 users. Additionally, as the first CEX to pay attention to the BRC community, HTX spearheaded the inscription wave by listing ORDI through the 5th round of PrimeVote. Furthermore, projects like TOMI and CA demonstrated consistent performance, registering notable gains within a week after listing compared to the closing price on the first day. 3. PrimePool In 2023, HTX conducted 11 rounds of PrimePool, distributing rewards exceeding 2.2 million USDT to users. Notably, the November session, allowing users to lock their TRX for rewards, attracted over 10,000 participants. III. Derivatives ◆ Futures 1. Trading Volume (1) In 2023, HTX's futures trading volume reached $650 billion, with an increase of over 40% in Q4 compared to Q3. As of February 2024, HTX offers more than 140 pairs, experiencing a consistent monthly growth trend in both volume and asset size. (2) In 2023, HTX, by tracking market trends and topics in real-time, introduced 75 new assets. Impressively, 68 of them, or over 90%, exhibited an increase of 200%. 2.

(2) In 2023, HTX completed more than 20 upgrades to its futures services, including real-time settlement of funding rates and uninterrupted settlement of USDT-M futures. ◆ HTX Earn In 2023, HTX Earn helped millions of users across over 200 countries earn interest income exceeding 10 million USDT. This section comprises three types of products: Simple Earn, Structured Products, and On-chain Earn. Additionally, it provides features such as Auto-Invest Your Balance and Regular Invest, catering to different market cycles and risk preferences. Users seeking stable returns can choose products from Simple Earn, including Flexible, Flexi Max, and Fixed, to achieve substantial returns with ease and lower risks. Currently, these products support over 50 cryptocurrencies. HTX Structured Products is an innovative financial instrument that includes assets linked to fixed income and derivatives to meet the higher return expectations of advanced users. This category encompasses two products: Dual Investment and Shark Fin. In sideways markets, Dual Investment enables users to earn attractive returns by buying low or selling high at the target price. In directional conditions, users can increase their yield by choosing the rise/fall of a token in Shark Fin. It's noteworthy that the innovative Shark Fin became a star product shortly after its launch in 2023. Each Shark Fin product's quota was quickly snapped up, exceeding expectations, with the GMV of the seven-day product surpassing 100 million soon after its launch. For those interested in on-chain ecosystems, On-chain Earn products offer viable options. These products include ETH 2.0, over 20 popular network nodes staking, and various on-chain staking options, meeting different needs of staking for interests. In 2024, HTX launched Liquid Restaking, providing users with the opportunity to share $50 million airdrop quota. IV. Product Upgrades 1. App Enhancement to Improve User Experience (1) Optimized registration and login scenarios: Numerous optimizations have been made for registration and login, the most frequently used scenarios. These include the integration of passkeys, the addition of third-party account registration, and the implementation of verification code login, enabling quicker and easier registration and login. Consequently, login efficiency improved by 14% compared to the beginning of the year. (2) Simplified homepage: Previous versions of the homepage were criticized for their excessive buttons and modules and redundant information. To address these issues, HTX reduced the bottom navigation tabs from six to five, streamlined the modules, and displayed customized modules. These optimizations significantly enhanced user experience and satisfaction, leading to a 27% rise in distribution efficiency compared to the previous version. 2. Content Upgrades to Support KOL Growth KOL exposure and recommendation strategies have been added across various content scenarios to bolster page traffic and foster community growth. Exclusive functionalities, such as external sharing and invitation, components for copy trading in live streams, and community copy trading cards, have been introduced to facilitate traffic growth and enhance user retention. 3. Product Upgrades to Satisfy Different Users ◆ Futures (1) By launching uninterrupted settlement of futures, HTX eliminates the risk of interruptions to ensure 24/7 trading for futures. (2) HTX upgraded its futures funding rate mechanism by using the original predicted funding rate as the settlement rate. This adjustment makes funding rates more sensitive to market changes and helps anchor perpetual futures prices to the spot market faster, comprehensively improving the mechanism for perpetual products. Additionally, this new mechanism aligns HTX's funding rates more closely with other mainstream exchanges, significantly reducing disparities for arbitrage traders. (3) In version 2.0 for copy trading, several important features, including isolated margin addition and reduction, limit orders, and trailing stop orders, were introduced to improve the experience for lead traders. To enhance convenience and flexibility for followers, HTX added features like customized copy trading pairs and risk limits. ◆ HTX Earn (1) HTX launched Auto-Invest Your Balance to enhance product usability and convenience. This feature, allowing users to automatically earn from their spot balances, has served over 100,000 users. (2) HTX pioneered Flexi Max, the industry's first large-amount flexible products, catering to high-net-worth users and expanding the range of Earn products for large, long-term investments. (3) For frequent traders, HTX introduced Regular Invest to enable automatic regular, fixed investments, facilitating more convenient asset growth. (4) Upgrades to the Earn homepage include a native design, simplified product categories, and optimized product recommendation strategies, reducing homepage loading time to 150 milliseconds and enhancing user experience. 4. Website Event Upgrades to Optimize Platform-wide Functionality To accommodate users who prefer website participation, the platform aligned event functionalities across its app and website, improving the overall product experience. Users can now access all HTX events through its website, including PrimeVote, PrimePool, trading contests, deposit contests, and Rewards Hub. V. Security and Compliance 1. Risk Management HTX's security team always prioritizes user asset security. It persistently strengthens the security system, in terms of information security, business risk control, and on-chain security, to enhance operation security. The team handled 85 on-chain cases, involving 19 public chains, and conducted systematic analysis and established security strategies for two types of on-chain security risks. Currently, HTX's security system operates effectively to protect user asset security. 2. License Application HTX has complied with regulations across different regions, providing users with a secure, transparent trading environment. It has obtained business qualifications or licenses in countries including Australia, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Furthermore, to provide more global users with compliant virtual assets services, HTX has expanded its footprint to a broader scope: (1) Europe: To explore the European market, HTX will align with and apply to MiCA, as part of its efforts to expand its global operations in a compliant way.

Upon approval, HTX can broaden its services beyond futures to include wallet custody, fiat channels, and spot trading. Notably, HTX became a sandbox member of the BVI virtual asset derivatives trading platform in 2021 and obtained the world's first BVI virtual asset derivatives trading platform license in 2022, enabling it to provide compliant futures services. 3. Asset Security In 2023, HTX maintained a reserve ratio above 100%. This indicates that its wallet assets surpassed the assets held by users, demonstrating sufficient asset reserves.

Outlook for 2024: Breaking the Shackles of Centralization for a People-Centered Exchange As 2024 begins, the crypto market continues to surge ahead. There has been an observed enhancement in the overall economic situation and emerging innovations within the crypto sphere. These trends suggest an anticipation for the imminent arrival of a new bullish market cycle. As HTX joins HTX DAO ecosystem builders and the crypto market picks up steam, in this new competitive cycle, HTX is set for a revival and to reintroduce itself to the market with a focus on liberating from constraints through "community governance" and "decentralization". It has demonstrated a stronger competitive edge. HTX's anticipated strategies include: Focusing on trending sectors for wealth creation: HTX will closely monitor the development in asset size and derivative products after the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and regulatory policies across various countries. The approval not only signifies the regularization of Bitcoin investments but also presents vast opportunities for HTX to list and grow more assets. Therefore, the development of the BTC ecosystem remains a priority for HTX, particularly emerging protocols beyond BRC-20, such as BRC-420, ARC-20, and BTC L2 solutions (e.g., RGB smart contracts and BitVM). The progress and adoption of these technologies will further enrich the BTC ecosystem, heating the market in coordination with the upcoming halving event. Meanwhile, HTX continues to be optimistic about Web3 projects combined with AI, as well as new models where purely AI projects incentivize data contribution through tokens. Integration AI with DeFi, storage solutions, and DePin is poised to introduce novel project concepts to the market. This not only attracts funds from the technology sector but also injects new vitality and potential into the crypto market. Additionally, the Dencun Upgrade will bring revolutionary improvements to Ethereum, significantly reducing gas fees and further enhancing network processing capacity. This will profoundly impact the entire ETH ecosystem. Progresses such as Layer 2 sorters, parallel EVM development, and the application of ZK technology also make Ethereum more efficient and scalable. These advancements, while strengthening Ethereum, create new opportunities for investors and developers. Therefore, HTX will closely follow the market developments after the Dencun Upgrade and monitor the innovation and growth it brings to the ETH ecosystem. In summary, in 2024, HTX will follow market trends, focus on popular sectors, and select high-quality projects to provide users with a diverse options for wealth creation. Product Technology Innovation and Upgrades: With a focus on trading experience, HTX will continue to optimize its trading system, innovate system architectures, and enhance stability and throughput capacity to ensure security in trading. Meanwhile, it will improve copy trading products and enrich strategy trading tools to increase efficiency and convenience in futures trading. The platform will also continue to offer diverse, high-yield Earn products and conduct online/offline user education to help users better understand the market and products. Moreover, user experience will be enhanced from multiple aspects such as platform design and KOL empowerment, along with upgraded risk management models to ensure asset security. Diversified Business/Event Expansion: HTX will continue to leverage its Mars Program to expand partnerships, while optimizing event rules and reducing difficulty to offer more rewards for users minting Mars NFTs. Additionally, exclusive benefits will be introduced for $HTX holders, including, without limitations to, free participation in new listing campaigns such as PrimeVote and PrimePool, staking for rewards, flexible products with competitive APY, tripling Rockets, and fee discounts. Compliant, Secure, and Reliable Operations: In 2024, HTX is expected to obtain three licenses, including a European MiCA-related license, Dubai's FMP license, and BVI's VASP license. Additionally, HTX will reinforce its security system and effectively address potential threats to ensure the security and reliability of users' digital assets. Rich Ecosystem Development: HTX Ventures will remain committed to advancing Web3 infrastructure and ecosystem development to support the next generation of Web3 enterprises and to contribute to the development of the HTX ecosystem. Additionally, HTX Research will collaborate with partners to launch multidimensional market education, facilitating the integration of Web2 and Web3. Autonomous Community Development: Based on HTX DAO, HTX will explore the possibility of user autonomy within the community, facilitating information sharing across multiple channels. It aims to establish a self-governing ecosystem characterized by reciprocity and mutual benefits among platform and project teams, as well as Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and users. By tapping into the community's wisdom and power, HTX DAO is committed to transforming HTX into a truly people-centered exchange. Meanwhile, HTX will organize offline community events globally, creating a visible, tangible, user-friendly, and valuable community for crypto users. Global Brand Strategy: With "Building the Metaverse Free Port" as its long-term mission, HTX will work with more projects, public chains, and stablecoins to launch campaigns at international events, build a global brand reputation, and improve international market development, moving toward the vision of "Achieve Financial Freedom for 8 Billion People on Earth." In 2024, HTX will maintain an open mindset to learn and adapt to market changes and make every effort to build a people-centered exchange. By doing so, it can create greater value for users and foster the crypto industry to flourish.
