Solana NFT project y00ts is off to a hot start since launching last night, topping secondary markets as the NFTs sell for a significant premium over the mint price. And amid the hype over the rollout, the Web3 tech company tied to the project has raised a seed round from some notable investors.

Dust Labs, a tech startup linked to both y00ts and the popular DeGods NFT project, has raised $7 million in funding from an array of venture capital firms. Participants in the round include FTX Ventures and Solana Ventures, as well as top Solana NFT marketplace Magic Eden, Solana NFT protocol maker Metaplex, and firms Foundation Capital and Jump.

The startup spawned out of the success of DeGods, currently the most valuable NFT profile picture (PFP) project on the Solana blockchain. It was founded by the creator of DeGods, who goes simply by Frank, but has its own CEO (who goes by Kevin) and is focused on “building software that helps NFT communities bring more value to their holders,” per the website.

2022-09-04 15:00:08 ​​Pro-blockchain narratives hinder Bitcoin adoption, says StackinSat founder.

Josselin Tonnellier, the founder of crypto investment banking firm StackinSat, said that while organizing an event during the bear market was difficult, seeing attendees from abroad was very rewarding.

Over a decade-long evolution later, for self-justified personal reasons, a handful of the crypto community members chose to believe in siding against Bitcoin (BTC), resulting in a narrative that preached "blockchain is great, Bitcoin is bad."

Josselin Tonnellier, the founder of Bitcoin exchange StackinSat and organizer of the Surfin' Bitcoin 2022, believes that this particular notion is one of the main barriers to broader BTC adoption in France.

In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph reporter Joseph Hall, Tonnellier discussed several important topics, including the adoption of Bitcoin and crypto in France, the origins and goals of the Surfin' Bitcoin conference, and overcoming challenges during the bear market.

The executive explained that one of the most pressing concerns in France in terms of Bitcoin adoption is the pro-blockchain narrative that paints a negative picture of Bitcoin. He said that:

“For many years it's been blockchain is great. Bitcoin is bad. So, we try to produce content with prominent Bitcoiners and people want us to be able to explain what Bitcoin really is.”

In terms of the connection between surfing and Bitcoin, the executive said that the goal of the event was to have a very chill place where the ecosystem could gather and make connections. Tonnellier explained:

"We wanted to have a place to gather people in very nice settings at the end of August so people can enjoy the beach, feel like we are on holidays talking about Bitcoin, and we want to be very chill and relaxed, so you don't see many suits and a bow tie."

The event organizer also highlighted that there had been plenty of Web3 and nonfungible token (NFT) events in the country and not much for Bitcoin. He added that this spurred their team to put the event together.

Apart from these, Hall also asked Tonnellier about the difficulties that they are facing at the moment in organizing an event during the bear market. The event organizer explained that there are several ups and downs including setting the budget for the event. Open / Comment

2022-09-01 17:20:00 ​​British National Accused in OneCoin Scam Set to Face US Extradition

Christopher Hamilton, a British national accused of money laundering and wire fraud related to the $4 billion OneCoin scam, lost his bid to avoid extradition to the U.S. on Tuesday, according to a report from Law360.

U.K. District Judge Nicholas Rimmer rejected Hamilton's plea that he should be tried in the country since the fraud he committed occurred outside the U.S.

"Wherever victims are based, it is in their interests for perpetrators involved to be prosecuted rather than not to be,” Judge Rimmer wrote, according to Law360. “This factor weighs in favor of extradition.”

The extradition may not be final if Hamilton decides to file an appeal. Additionally, the case will now be sent to the Secretary of State for a final decision.

Robert McDonald, a co-accused, avoided extradition on human rights grounds. McDonald is the prime carer for his "extremely ill" wife and has expressed "clear and genuine suicidal intent, in the event he were to be extradited," according to the judgment cited in the Law360 report. The judge also stated that "there is no apparent evidence of monetary gain by Robert MacDonald."

Hamilton and McDonald are accused of laundering $105 million of the $4 billion global scam which was perpetrated by fugitive "CryptoQueen" Ruja Ignatova.

The U.S. extradition proceedings relate to millions of dollars sent to accounts controlled by Hamilton in the name of an entity called Viola Asset Management. McDonald was the company's compliance officer. Open / Comment

2022-08-27 13:00:07 ​Solana Now Has a Beer—With DeGods, Okay Bears and Other NFTs on the Can

There’s a Solana smartphone, and a Solana IRL store—and now a Solana beer.

Solana Summer Shandy just dropped today, but unlike the recently-opened store and upcoming smartphone project, this alcoholic lemonade shandy beverage doesn’t hail from the Solana Foundation or its core network contributors, Solana Labs.

Instead, the beer is the creation of barrelDAO, a brewery and distillery that is governed by users. Solana Summer Shandy is being released in limited quantities: just 333 total 16-packs of beer, each represented by a Solana NFT that can be purchased today and then redeemed starting Monday to receive the beer.

BarrelDAO intended to launch the sale earlier this afternoon on the top Solana NFT marketplace, Magic Eden, but as of publication was apparently still sorting through issues with the drop. Each 16-pack sells for 1.35 SOL, or nearly $45 at present, and that price includes shipping to the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.

And the beer represents Solana in more than just name and redemption tokens: the cans are also plastered with original artwork by Mark Lauthier, featuring references to a wide array of Solana-based NFT projects, along with specific avatars within those collections.

Look closely and you’ll find imagery and other references to popular Solana NFT projects like DeGods, Degenerate Ape Academy, Okay Bears, Solana Monkey Business, Thugbirdz, Cets on Creck, Catalina Whale Mixer, and John Lê’s “The First Edition.” Open / Comment

2022-08-21 13:01:42 ​​ Analysts predicted a doubling of Solan's rate

According to the forecasts of Coin Bureau agency, one of Ethereum's competitors - cryptocurrency Solana (SOL) may rise in price by 2 times from the values of the current day, August 19, 2022.

According to expert predictions, if the bull rally of altcoins continues, this virtual has the best prospects among similar projects.

According to analysts, SOL's upward price movement seems extremely plausible. Many market participants underestimate Solana, although looking at the chart, experts saw many patterns that signaled the impending rise in the value of the virtual coin.

However, this will only happen if the current momentum of the cryptocurrency market persists.

Analysts emphasized: projects such as Solana, Avalanche, Near Protocol and other blockchains, which are competitors of Ethereum, attract the most interest from traders in the run-up to the merger of the latter's networks (Merge).

Investors have been systematically buying up digital assets in case the Ethereum upgrade does not go according to plan and there are disruptions.

It was also stated that in the SOL / ETH trading pair, the price peak could coincide with the upcoming merger, which is scheduled for September 14, 2022.

As of 12:40 Moscow time on August 19, 2022, Solana (SOL) was trading at $36.31. Its rate declined by 11.23% over the past 24 hours amid a global decline of the entire cryptocurrency market during the reporting period. The virtual asset had a capitalization of $12.64 billion and daily trading volumes of $1.46 billion. Open / Comment
