CARV Raises $ 10M 💰Series A to Build the Largest Modular Data Layer for Gaming and AI
CARV, the largest modular data layer for gaming and AI, today announced a $ 10M Series A on the heels of its recent strategic funding round. With this new backing from industry leaders, CARV will double down on building the largest modular data layer for gaming and AI, maximizing data innovation while ensuring individuals can share the value created in a user-owned internet.
The Series A was led by Tribe Capital and IOSG Ventures, with participation from key investors such as Consensys (developer of MetaMask and Linea), OKX Ventures, Fenbushi Capital, No Limit Holdings, Draper Dragon, Arweave, LiquidX, MARBLEX (the web3 arm of Netmarble), and more. This adds to the notable investors already on CARV’s cap table, including HashKey Capital, Infinity Ventures Crypto, and Temasek Holding’s subsidiary, Vertex Ventures.
"The backing from these top investors underscores their confidence in our mission to reshape data ownership and value distribution," said Victor Yu, CARV co-founder. "For too long, users’ data has fueled economic growth without them sharing the value created. The AI boom has increased demand for high-quality data for model training, but brands face challenges targeting users and ethically sourcing data amid tightening regulations. CARV empowers users to own, contribute, and monetize their data, capturing opportunities from the adtech reshuffling and AI revolution by putting them back in control."

- Bitcoin Network Faces Downturn in Transactions and Fees as Halving Approaches
The volume of daily transactions on the Bitcoin network has seen a significant decline since Jan. 28, 2024, with numbers falling from peaks above 600,000 to below 300,000 transactions per day. This downturn is in sync with a decrease in the daily creation of Ordinal inscriptions, overall easing congestion and reducing onchain fees.
Network Activity Slows on Bitcoin as Ordinal Inscriptions Dip
Data from Feb. 17, 2024, indicates that bitcoin miners processed 327,713 transactions over a 24-hour timeframe. The month of February has experienced a noticeable dip in daily transaction activity, a stark contrast to the 636,523 transfers recorded on Jan. 28.
From that point, a gradual decrease in transaction volume has been observed, reaching a monthly low of 278,098 transactions on Feb. 6. This decline mirrors the reduced activity in Ordinal transactions throughout the month.
Following Feb. 3, which witnessed the creation of just over 300,000 inscriptions in a single day, there has been a noticeable downturn in the number of inscriptions since. Just three days later, the count plummeted to a mere 35,814 inscriptions for the day.
This reduction in inscriptions has led to fewer transactions, diminishing the fees miners once enjoyed in December 2023 and January 2024, thanks to the associated surge in demand for block space. This month, miners have seen some relief in mempool congestion, with unconfirmed transactions dropping from over 200,000 before Feb. 9 to a current figure of 139,625.
As a result of the lessened activity, the average transaction fee has seen a significant decrease from the Feb. 3 high of $ 14.81 to now just $ 4.56 per transaction or 27 satoshis per virtual byte. The median BTC transaction fee has also declined, moving from $ 4.16 per transaction to today’s rate of $ 1.75 or 10.4 satoshis per virtual byte.
Despite the downturn, miners have still managed to collect over $ 816 million this month, with more than $ 47 million coming from onchain transaction fees. Additionally, the hash price, which estimates the daily value of one petahash per second (PH/s) of hashing power, has decreased from a Feb. 14 peak of $ 92 to the current $ 82 per PH/s.
This shift in Bitcoin’s transaction landscape, characterized by a notable decrease in daily activity and fees, signals a potential recalibration within the network’s economy. As miners adjust to the new norm of lower earnings and users benefit from reduced fees, the ecosystem might be entering a phase of stabilization.
With fewer than 9,000 blocks remaining until Bitcoin’s fourth halving event, the rise in Ordinal inscriptions, heightened demand for block space, and increased fees have become key factors in sustaining bitcoin miners going forward. This support may be crucial as they face the prospect of their revenues being slashed by half in April.

- Time Has Run Out’: Crypto Analyst Says Bitcoin Moving Into Rally Phase – Here’s What He MeansA closely followed crypto analyst says that Bitcoin (BTC) has now moved into bullish territory as the halving approaches.
Pseudonymous analyst Rekt Capital tells his 397,000 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin has entered a “pre-halving rally phase.”
According to the trader, Bitcoin’s bull markets can be broken up into three main chapters: the pre-halving rally, the post-halving resistance and the post-halving parabola. He says BTC has officially kicked off the first phase.
“Time has run out.
Bitcoin has already transitioned into the pre-halving rally phase
Rekt also takes a look at the Pi Cycle Top indicator, which focuses on a 111-day moving average (DMA) and a multiple of the 350-day moving average.
According to the analyst, the indicator’s 111 DMA, which acts as support in bull runs, is hinting that a market cycle top is coming around October of this year. However, he notes that a market top could come at a later date if BTC corrects before the April halving, when miners’ rewards are cut in half.
“When it comes to the orange moving average, it holds as a support. Same thing in the halving year of 2020, and we’re now in the halving year as well, 2024, and just look what’s going on with this orange moving average right now. It’s holding as a support and it’s this retesting that’s going to offer bargain buying opportunities.
So we know that the 111-day moving average is an important moving average and as long as we don’t get a sizeable correction, and if we propagate these two moving averages into the future, that means we’d get a bull market top around October.
But around the pre-halving retrace is when we tend to see corrections in Bitcoin’s price action so a correction in that period is probably going to tilt this Pi Cycle moving average a little bit lower, and that’s also going to mean that this moving average propagated here is going to be tilted a little bit to the downside which mean we will see the bull market peak occur at a much later date.”

- Glassnode Study Signals High-Risk Bitcoin Regime, Hints at Early Bull Market Stage
In the wake of the market’s recovery from the FTX collapse, a notable shift has occurred, pushing bitcoin into a high-risk regime, as indicated by the onchain analysis firm, Glassnode. The firm’s latest report notes that this regime typically signals a pivotal phase often preceding the onset of bull markets, where long-term investors begin to see a return to profitability.
Bitcoin Enters High-Risk Regime: A Precursor to Bull Markets
Glassnode‘s latest Risk Assessment Framework study introduces a nuanced approach to understanding bitcoin’s (BTC) market cycles through onchain data. By analyzing short-term and long-term risk cycles, the framework offers a data-driven model to gauge drawdown risks. The entry into a high-risk regime, as detailed in the report, marks a critical juncture typically observed at the commencement of bull markets.
This phase is characterized by increased profitability for long-term investors, reflecting a growing confidence in the market’s future trajectory. “As such, ‘High-Risk’ is defined as a point where the market is likely in a speculative bubble,” Glassnode’s research explains. “By contrast, ‘Low-Risk’ environments are considered those where much of the speculative excess has been cleared, and the market is more likely to be within a bottom formation pattern.”
At the core of Glassnode’s analysis are metrics like the MVRV Model and Mayer Multiple, which together delineate the market’s current risk status. These indicators highlight the deviation of bitcoin’s price from its long-term averages, presenting a methodical way to identify speculative bubbles and bottom formations.The Glassnode researcher, known as Cryptovizart, says the recent elevation of these metrics into the high-risk category underscores the speculative nature of current market conditions, yet it historically aligns with the early stages of market recoveries. Additionally, the report emphasizes the role of investor behavior, particularly through the Percent of Supply in Profit and Net Unrealized Profit/Loss metrics.
These indicators provide insights into the potential for increased selling pressure and the overall sentiment of greed or fear among market participants. The current positioning within the high-risk domain suggests a cautious optimism, with a significant portion of the market holding coins accumulated at lower price points during the previous consolidation phase.
By assessing spending patterns and demand for block space, Glassnode further identifies shifts in market dynamics that precede major price movements. Currently, the high-risk indicators highlight an environment ripe with speculation, yet buoyed by a solid foundation of long-term investor profitability and renewed market activity. While caution remains paramount, the analysis underscores the inherent optimism among long-term investors, suggesting a strategic moment for market entry.
“These risk factors consider a wide set of data and investor behavior categories, helping to establish a framework for analysts and investors,” Glassnode’s report concludes. “Whilst each indicator can be used individually, the combination often provides a more comprehensive picture of the state of the market.”

- DORMANT ETHEREUM WHALE MOVES 100 ETH AFTER 8 YEARS
In an unexpected move that has captured the attention of the cryptocurrency community, an Ethereum wallet, inactive for over eight years, has resumed activity by transferring 100 ETH, valued at approximately $ 230,159. This transaction marks the first activity from the wallet since its creation in July 2015, sparking discussions and speculations within the industry.
Ethereum whale resurfaces
The wallet’s reactivation was highlighted through a series of transactions, where 20 ETH were sent to one address and 77 ETH to another, both of which remain undisclosed. This event is part of a growing trend where dormant wallets, especially those holding significant amounts of cryptocurrencies, are coming back to life. A similar incident occurred recently when another inactive Ethereum wallet, holding 492 ETH worth around $ 1.14 million, made transactions after years of dormancy since its initial coin receipt.
These reactivations are noteworthy not only for their rarity but also for their potential impact on the Ethereum market. Historically, large movements of cryptocurrencies by so-called “whales” have led to fluctuations in market prices, sometimes resulting in increased volatility. The crypto community is now closely watching these developments, as the actions of such significant holders can have far-reaching implications for the market.
Market impact and community response
The return of these dormant whales has reignited discussions about their potential influence on Ethereum’s price stability. While Ethereum experienced a decline in value following similar whale activities in the past, it has shown resilience, bouncing back over time. This pattern suggests that while large transactions may temporarily affect the market, the long-term impact remains uncertain.
Analysts caution the crypto community about the risks of dormant whales reentering the market. They advise investors and traders to remain vigilant and consider historical trends. The reactivation of these wallets serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market, where significant movements can occur unexpectedly.
The re-emergence of dormant Ethereum whales is a phenomenon that has both intrigued and concerned the cryptocurrency community. As these ancient giants begin to move their holdings, the potential for market impact looms. However, the historical resilience of Ethereum suggests that while short-term volatility may occur, the long-term trajectory of the cryptocurrency remains robust.

- Bitcoin's Mining Difficulty Skyrockets by 7.33%, Setting New Record for 2024On Friday, Feb. 2, 2024, the Bitcoin network witnessed a significant milestone as its mining complexity metric surged by 7.33% at block height 828,576. This marked the most substantial increase in difficulty for the year thus far. The current level of difficulty stands at 75.50 trillion, reaffirming its status as the most challenging period for bitcoin mining to date.
Bitcoin’s 7.33% Mining Difficulty Spike Marks 2024 Record
Bitcoin (BTC) mining has recently become a far more challenging endeavor, with the difficulty metric rising by an impressive 7.33%, marking the most significant increase in 2024. This notable rise comes on the heels of a 3.90% decrease observed on Jan. 20. 2024 has witnessed a total of two increases and one reduction in mining difficulty thus far. Additionally, we are now counting down to the fourth halving event, which is less than 11,500 blocks away and will lead to a halving of BTC mining rewards.
The 7.33% rise in difficulty marks a historic ascent to an all-time peak of 75.50 trillion. In essence, this figure represents the threshold at which a block’s hash must reside to be deemed valid. With the difficulty now standing at 75.50 trillion, it implies that the hash of an acceptable block must be equal to or lower than an exceptionally diminutive target value within the extensive spectrum of possible hash values. The smaller this target becomes, the less probable it is for a random hash guess to fall below it, thereby intensifying the challenge of discovering a valid block.Currently, the collective hashrate is cruising steadily at 536 exahash per second (EH/s), as indicated by seven-day simple moving average (SMA) data from Luxor’s web portal hashrateindex.com. This figure of 536 EH/s trails slightly behind the all-time peak of 566 EH/s reached on Jan. 29, 2024.
Examining three-day block discovery metrics unveils the dominance of two pools over Bitcoin’s hashrate, collectively accounting for over 60% of the total. Foundry USA leads the charge with a commanding 31.94%, boasting 173.53 EH/s, while Antpool closely follows with 159.17 EH/s, constituting 29.30% of the overall hashrate. The next mining difficulty retarget is due to occur on Feb. 15, 2024.

- Will Bitcoin Hit $ 1 Million By 2028? Experts Clash Over Bold Price PredictionTuur Demeester, a Bitcoin evangelist, has recently shared his views on Bitcoin’s potential to reach the $ 1 million mark by 2028. Demeester’s view on this topic presents a cautious contrast to some of the more bullish predictions in the crypto community.
This tempered perspective comes when others, such as Samson Mow, express strong confidence in Bitcoin’s ability to hit this milestone following its next halving.
$ 1 Million Bitcoin By 2028 Is Not Certain
Demeester’s skepticism was articulated in response to a post sharing a graph by investor Fred Krueger, which suggested that Bitcoin might reach the $ 1,000,000 level by 2028.
While appreciating the graph’s model, Demeester expressed uncertainty, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the market and its capacity to defy even the most well-constructed models.The anticipation surrounding BTC’s price of $ 1 million is closely tied to its halving events, which occur approximately every four years. After this year’s halving, the next halving is set to occur in 2028. These events reduce the number of new BTC mined per block by half, limiting the supply and potentially impacting the price.
The upcoming halving, set for April this year, will see the daily minting of Bitcoin slashed from 900 to 450 coins. Such supply changes have historically led to significant price movements, lending credibility to the various models predicting substantial future price increases.

Amid these predictions, an X user, claiming ownership of the growth plot referenced by Demeester, chimed in with insights. They argued that some market laws, like the time value of money in the stock market, are less likely to be broken.
Similarly, the natural adoption rate of Bitcoin might constrain its “explosive” growth, providing room for market movements without breaking the underlying model.
Diverse Views On Bitcoin’s Future
Other Bitcoin enthusiasts, like Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, are more optimistic. Mow envisions Bitcoin reaching $ 1 million, potentially in a sudden surge causing “max pain” for several market players.
This dramatic increase, he suggests, could happen swiftly, within “days or weeks,” though the precise starting point remains uncertain.
My main prediction is the run up to $ 1M happens in days to weeks. Starting point TBD.
In analyzing potential triggers for a Bitcoin rally, Mow considers various factors. These include Bitcoin-specific metrics like exchange-traded inflows (ETF), the BTC hashrate, and whale activity on Bitfinex. Additionally, Mow looks at broader economic indicators such as Tether’s USDT assets under management, government debt payments, and Debt-to-GDP ratios.Mow believes these factors, combined with nation-state adoption, real inflation rates, and the M3 money supply, could significantly influence Bitcoin’s performance.Amid the debate, Bitcoin saw quite a surge in the past 24 hours, reclaiming the $ 43,000 mark with a current trading price of $ 43,123.
