api

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a communication interface between software applications that allows different systems or programs to interact and exchange data. In the field of blockchain and cryptocurrency, APIs are used to connect exchanges, wallets, blockchain nodes, and other services, providing real-time data access, trade execution, and account management functions. APIs are key tools for developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) and integrate blockchain services, facilitating interoperability and scalability within the ecosystem.

first_img ARK partners with Securitize to tokenize venture capital funds, holdings include OpenAI and Anthropic

According to CoinDesk, asset management company ARK Invest announced a partnership with tokenization platform Securitize to tokenize its ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX), initially issuing it on Ethereum, with potential expansion to other blockchains in the future. The fund invests in private and public companies, with holdings including OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks. ARK founder and CEO Cathie Wood stated that bringing the ARK Venture Fund on-chain is a natural extension of its mission to democratize investment in disruptive innovation.Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo stated that this move provides investors with diversified exposure to popular private tech companies, allowing them to hold both OpenAI and Anthropic simultaneously if they are uncertain about which will win the AI race. He also noted that tokenization does not put these companies or their shares on-chain; instead, investors receive an on-chain representation of the fund's equity, while the underlying assets remain private, but user investments are liquid. Securitize also plans to provide daily net asset values and support on-chain market trading of fund equity.This collaboration builds on the existing relationship between the two parties, as ARK made a strategic investment in Securitize last year. Currently, Wall Street asset management companies are accelerating the introduction of traditional financial products to the blockchain, with early attempts like BlackRock's BUIDL and Franklin Templeton's BENJI fund primarily focused on U.S. Treasury and money market products, now expanding into stocks and private markets.

DeepSeek's annual revenue has doubled to 1 billion USD in a few months, planning to complete a financing of 50 billion RMB by the end of October

According to a report by The Information cited by Dongcha, two individuals with direct knowledge stated that the artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has an annual revenue of approximately $1 billion, up from less than $500 million a few months ago. The revenue primarily comes from model APIs, and the free chat application currently has no advertising or subscription revenue.The report indicated that part of the revenue growth is due to price increases, with some API prices raised by about 2.3 to 4.5 times. Liang Wenfeng recently told investors that the number of customers did not decline after the price increase, and demand remains strong. Previously disclosed financial data showed that the gross margin for the API business in the first seven months of this year was 82.9%.DeepSeek's second round of financing plans to raise approximately 50 billion yuan, with a valuation of about 500 billion. The company hopes to complete this by the end of October and is also preparing for an IPO on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's Sci-Tech Innovation Board. Liang Wenfeng stated that over 70% of the computing power is used for training new models, leaving less than 30% for inference; the company is trying to run more small models directly on gaming graphics cards, reserving high-end chips for training.
