Microsoft invests in start-up Palm NFT Studio



Microsoft is investing a total of US $ 27 million in Palm NFT Studio through risk fund M12. The start-up focuses on non-fungible tokens, which sparked an enormous hype in 2021.

The list of companies investing in cryptocurrencies and crypto-related companies is getting longer. Recently Visa, Ubisoft and Meta provided exciting news in this sector. Now Palm NFT Studio, a start-up in the cryptocurrency industry, has announced that it has received an investment of around $ 27 million from Microsoft's M12 venture fund.

The money is to be invested primarily in expanding the team, according to statements from the company's press release . The Palm NFT Studio platform makes it easy to develop and deploy NFT drops.

Acceptance of NFT is of great importance for the development of the company

It is therefore extremely important for the medium and long-term development of the company that the entire NFT sector continues to develop positively. Microsoft could now also speculate on this. This is how co-founder and CEO of Palm NFT Studio, Dan Heyman, sees it.

His statements in this regard: “Within three years, most of the NFT will be given away for free. We're seeing a shift away from NFT as exclusive collectibles to mass community engagement, and Palm NFT Studio is leading the way. We envision programs that will benefit millions of NFT; social objects that connect communities, encourage engagement and reward real fans. "

In addition to Microsoft, RRE, Third Kind Venture Capital, NFT investor Sfermion and The LAO are also investing in the company. The company is currently also concentrating on compliance with regulatory guidelines. A lot will change here in the coming months and years so that companies in the industry will have to remain vigilant.

More and more investments in crypto companies

The investment in Palm NFT Studio once again confirms the development that the cryptocurrency sector is currently experiencing. As data from PitchBook shows, as of October 1 of this year, venture capital firms had already invested $ 21.4 billion in crypto-related companies.

A few weeks ago, a report from Finbold showed that start-ups in the industry are developing well. 129 start-ups have already earned 2.6 billion US dollars this year, while the income of 341 start-ups in the previous year amounted to just 2.3 billion US dollars.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
