Claude 3, the latest AI model from startup Anthropic, has dethroned OpenAI's GPT-4 from the top spot on the LMSYS Chatbot Arena leaderboard The Chatbot Arena ranks AI models based on user preferences in head-to-head comparisons. Claude 3's Opus model is now ranked first, with GPT-4 falling to second place for the first time since the leaderboard launched in May 2023. Users have praised Claude 3 Opus for its performance on advanced tasks like investment analysis, prompt engineering, and medical diagnoses. Impressively, even Anthropic's smallest model, Claude 3 Haiku, has matched GPT-4's performance while being significantly cheaper and faster. This milestone comes in the same week that Amazon invested an additional $ 2.75 billion in Anthropic, part of a deal to provide up to $ 4 billion in funding by the end of March 2024. This is Amazon's largest outside investment in over 30 years and gives the company a minority stake in Anthropic. With this substantial financial backing, Anthropic is positioned as a serious long-term rival to OpenAI. The startup, founded by former OpenAI employees, has now raised a total of $ 7.6 billion. Google has also invested in Anthropic, acquiring a 10% stake for $ 800 million. The rapid advancements in Anthropic's AI capabilities and the major investments from tech giants highlight the intensifying competition in the generative AI space. As models like Claude 3 push the boundaries of what's possible, the landscape of artificial intelligence is poised for significant transformation

While Ethereum Eyes $ 5,000, BlastUP, Near Protocol and Polygon MATIC Can Surge Beyond It PRESS RELEASE. The swiftly advancing world of cryptocurrency sees Ethereum poised to cross the $ 5000 mark. Amidst this development, crypto whales have been sighted steering their focus toward altcoins. The event paves a pathway toward understanding the potential value of altcoins poised to outpace Ethereum, suggesting an intriguing shift in crypto investments. BlastUP Presale Hits $ 2 Million: Anticipating the Next Big Thing in Crypto BlastUP, the premier launchpad on Blast, has recently made a splash in the crypto world with its head-spinning debut, raising $ 2 million in a few weeks. The number of early investors who have already recognized BlastUP’s high potential is growing exponentially. BlastUP is poised to reach roaring success, with plans to empower Web3 tools with AI innovation for fast and quality startup launches. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools and a rich rewards system for all those coming on board. Currently, BlastUP is running its fourth presale stage, offering BlastUP tokens at the lowest price. Buying these tokens now at $ 0.055, you get a hefty discount of 45%, as the listing price is set at $ 0.1. >> Be Among the FIRST! Get the Exclusive Perks From BlastUP Presale << Holders of BlastUP tokens may benefit from a number of privileges including allocations for token sales, exclusive loyalty rewards for participating in IDOs, and the ability to earn interest through staking. Following a simple mission to help blockchain startups grow faster and earn more, BlastUP is on its way to becoming a dominant force. The team of dedicated crypto enthusiasts behind the project are deeply committed to their vision and have ambitious plans to become a one-of-a-kind launchpad for easy and efficient blast off in the crypto space. The comprehensive roadmap of BlastUP extends through 2026, outlining plans to launch an AI IDO screener, develop AI tools tailored for startup teams, and set up the Community Marketplace NEAR Protocol Gains Momentum Ahead of AI Conference, Risks Remain Interest in NEAR Protocol is on the rise, as evidenced by the run-up ahead of a significant AI conference. It has nearly doubled in a week, currently standing at $ 8.25, comfortably above 10-day and 100-day simple moving averages. Extending this momentum, we may see NEAR pushing past the second resistance level at $ 9.11, potentially reaching new heights. However, it’s worth monitoring issues of support. The nearest support level is $ 2.97, with a further backstop at $ 2.07. Complacency in such a buoyant market could lead to a sharp correction should sentiment shift. Holding NEAR might carry short-term risk, especially if numbers start trending closer to these lower thresholds. Polygon’s DEX milestone could boost MATIC’s price, despite market risks Polygon’s remarkable milestone attainment in DEX could potentially fuel a significant uptick in MATIC’s price. Given positive MACD and SMA readings, this suggests bullish potential. The current $ 1.20 price might break through the nearest resistance level of $ 1.13 on the upside and aim higher, testing $ 1.27 possibly amid boosted market sentiment. However, it’s also crucial to consider the flip side. Despite recent achievements, the token might struggle due to market unpredictability. This could lead to a downside move towards the nearest support level at $ 0.82 or even the second support at $ 0.63. Balanced risks and opportunities endow the MATIC market with a neutral action recommendation. BlastUP’s impressive start with a $ 2M presale and commitment to empower Web3 startups with AI tools suggest robust future performance in the crypto landscape. Though NEAR Protocol and Polygon’s MATIC also exhibit potential, their journey appears a tad more precarious compared to BlastUP. This innovative project, nestled in the Blast ecosystem, not only showcases promising potential but its unique concept forms a compelling factor for investor attention.

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.”

CryptoPunks Reveals Details For Its Punk In Residence Incubator Program + More NFT NewsIn NFT news today, after a couple of days of increasing non-fungible token (NFT) sales volume, the market is back in red. According to CryptoSlam, the sales volume is down nearly 13% over the past day to $ 42,137,944. Buyers, sellers, and transactions are all down by just above 30%. Looking at the top ten collections per sales volume, we find a mixed picture. Pudgy Penguins saw the biggest increase in the last 24 hours, by 242% to $ 1.5 million. The highest drop was Nobody’s 75% to $ 719,751. Pandora has remained in first place on the list with $ 14.98 million – substantially higher than the second-placed CryptoPunks’ $ 1.8 million. As for the top ten blockchains over the past day, the most notable changes are with Ethereum and Solana. Ethereum is, expectedly, still in first place, but with a higher-than-usual daily volume of $ 28.6 million. After nearly exiting the top ten list altogether following an outage, Solana is back in the top five. It currently sits in fourth place with $ 1.13 million, despite an 80% drop. In other NFT news today, Yuga Labs shares details about its Punk In Residence program, Magic Eden announces the Creator’s Alliance, and Supervillain Labs and Aptos Labs partner on UX-rich Web3 gaming experiences.

FORMER BINANCE CEO CZ’S NET WORTH SOARS DESPITE LEGAL TROUBLESIn a year marked by legal challenges and regulatory scrutiny, Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, the former CEO of Binance Holdings, has witnessed a significant increase in his estimated net worth, surging by nearly $ 25 billion. This remarkable boost in wealth comes despite Binance‘s agreement to pay $ 4.3 billion in fines to US authorities and CZ’s guilty plea to criminal charges in November. CZ’s resilience amid legal battles Despite the ongoing legal troubles surrounding Binance, CZ’s net worth has risen to an estimated $ 37 billion in 2023. This substantial increase can be attributed to his controlling stake in Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, which he co-founded. In November, both CZ and Binance pleaded guilty to charges related to anti-money laundering and US sanctions violations. However, they reached a comprehensive settlement that allowed the exchange to continue its operations. As part of the agreement, CZ agreed to pay a personal fine of $ 50 million and stepped down as CEO, while retaining his ownership stake in the company. A glimpse into former Binance CEO’s legal future Despite facing the possibility of up to 10 years in prison, CZ’s plea deal may limit his sentence to a maximum of 18 months, potentially sparing him from more severe penalties faced by other prominent individuals involved in cryptocurrency-related crimes. This legal situation has undoubtedly cast a shadow over CZ’s financial success in 2023. However, it’s worth noting that CZ’s current net worth remains significantly lower than its peak of nearly $ 97 billion at the beginning of 2022. Furthermore, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, it has decreased from its year-to-date high of $ 50.4 billion in July. CZ is not the only billionaire benefiting from the crypto industry’s resurgence in 2023. The positive sentiment in the market, combined with the resolution of the Binance settlement and the potential approval of Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has contributed to the wealth growth of other prominent figures in the crypto space. Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase Global Inc., has seen his wealth increase by $ 5.8 billion year-to-date, reaching a total of $ 7.2 billion. Coinbase’s shares have surged by approximately 400% throughout the year, and Armstrong holds an estimated 16% stake in the company. Fred Ehrsam, the co-founder of Coinbase, has also experienced substantial wealth growth in 2023. He added $ 1.8 billion to his net worth, bringing it to approximately $ 2.5 billion. The Winklevoss twins, famous for their co-founding of the Gemini Trust crypto exchange and their significant holdings of Bitcoin, have each seen their wealth balloon by $ 1.4 billion in 2023, individually reaching $ 2.7 billion. In stark contrast to these success stories, Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX crypto exchange who is currently imprisoned and has been convicted of massive fraud, has seen his estimated net worth plummet to $ 0. This comes after reaching a peak of $ 25.9 billion in March of the previous year.
2023 Marks Bitcoin's Spirited December Surge: A Glimpse Into Crypto's Festive FrenzyOn Nov. 26, Bitcoin.com News highlighted the crypto community’s anticipation and hope for a ‘Bitcoin Santa Claus rally’ to manifest this year. Following the data collected from Dec. 1 to Dec. 24, 2023, the recent increase of 15.93% against the U.S. dollar has been recorded as the seventh most significant December surge since 2010.2023 Witnesses a 15.93% Bitcoin Surge, Ranking Seventh in December Gains Indeed, Santa granted bitcoin enthusiasts a 15.93% boost this December, yet it’s unlikely to be remembered as an official ‘Bitcoin Santa Claus rally‘ akin to the ones seen in 2017 and 2011. From Dec. 1, 2023, to the eve of Christmas, BTC soared from $ 37,721 per unit to an impressive peak of $ 43,730. Nonetheless, it secured the seventh spot in the record books, marginally outpacing the 5.6% increase seen from Dec. 1 to Dec. 24 in 2012. The year 2017 marked BTC’s most significant December rally, escalating from $ 9,947 to $ 14,815 between Dec. 1 and Dec. 24, reflecting a 48.94% surge. In a similar period in 2011, BTC experienced a 34.02% rise, climbing from $ 2.91 to $ 3.90 per coin. Meanwhile, 2016 recorded what seems to be the last ‘Santa Claus rally’, with a noteworthy 21.46% uptick against the dollar, elevating the price from $ 743 on Dec. 1 to $ 902 by Christmas Eve. In 2010, bitcoin experienced a 19.05% rise within the same December period, while 2020 saw an 18.86% increase. The year 2015 witnessed BTC climbing by 17.29%. Aside from 2023’s and 2012’s gains, the years 2022, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2014, and 2013 all endured bearish Decembers. Specifically, in 2022, BTC’s value fell by 2.16% from Dec. 1 to Christmas Eve, and in 2018, it declined by 2.39% during the same December timeframe. Subsequently, in the following December, bitcoin’s price saw a 2.77% decrease between those dates. In 2021, the price experienced a double-digit downturn, plummeting by 10.70%, and in 2014, BTC’s worth diminished by 11.72%. The period from Dec. 1 to Dec. 24, 2013, was notably the most drastic, with BTC prices plunging 41.18%. On Dec. 1, 2013, BTC traded at $ 1,103 per coin, but by the 24th, it had fallen sharply to $ 649 per unit. As the crypto community reflects on the fluctuations and festive rallies of bitcoin’s December history, it’s clear that the journey has been as volatile as it has been exhilarating.

Former Bitmex CEO Arthur Hayes: ETF Success' Might 'Destroy Bitcoin'Arthur Hayes, former CEO of Bitmex and cryptocurrency market analyst, pondered about the success of an upcoming spot bitcoin ETF and its effect on the future of bitcoin. Hayes states that the popularity of these ETF derivatives might concentrate the custody of all the bitcoin in a few hands that won’t move it, forcing miners to capitulate due to a lack of activity in the blockchain.Arthur Hayes Believes ETFs Might Cause the Demise of Bitcoin Former Bitmex CEO Arthur Hayes believes that the success of an upcoming spot bitcoin ETF might endanger the existence of the Bitcoin network. In his most recent blog post, “Expression,” Hayes presents a hypothetical situation in which bitcoin is all in the hands of a few financial firms, like Blackrock. If this happens, Hayes anticipates this will destroy bitcoin as a store of value, given that it is different from all of the assets traded in financial markets until now. Hayes argued: Bitcoin is the first monetary asset in human history that exists only if it moves. But if there was never another Bitcoin transaction between two entities, miners would be unable to afford the energy it costs to secure the networkThe result of this would be the shutdown of the whole Bitcoin network due to the starvation of miners who will receive fees only from bitcoin transactions after the subsidy ends circa 2140. Hayes adds that this could happen if users come to value bitcoin as a financial asset more than a store of value, favoring the purchase of derivatives instead of the cryptocurrency. However, if bitcoin suffers this fate, Hayes anticipates the birth of a similar asset to allow people to transact in a non-state-owned financial system. “Hopefully, the second time around, we will learn not to hand our private keys to the baldies,” he concluded.
