[AVAX One (AVX) @avax_one]

It’s official: the AVX ticker is live!

We have now fully transitioned to AVAX One (NASDAQ: AVX), the first publicly traded vehicle designed to give investors institutional-grade access to the onchain financial economy, powered by the @avax network.

With this update, allow us to reintroduce ourselves ⬇️

→ Our Mission
To give investors regulated exposure to the onchain financial economy by compounding AVAX ownership and supporting real network adoption, helping build a more transparent, efficient, and profitable financial ecosystem.

→ Our Differentiator
Unlike ETFs, AVAX One follows a Berkshire Hathaway–style model: a structure built to accumulate and compound AVAX in the near term, and over time acquire and onboard cash-flowing fintech businesses to the Avalanche network. This creates a self-reinforcing flywheel where asset growth, on-chain yield, and strategic acquisitions compound long-term value across the ecosystem.

→ Our Partners
AVAX One is advised by @Scaramucci (@SkyBridge) and Brett Tejpaul (@CoinbaseInsto), and supported by @HivemindCap as its asset management partner, applying institutional rigor and an actively managed approach to the treasury strategy.

→ Why Avalanche
Avalanche is rapidly becoming the settlement layer for global financial markets. Today, it already powers tokenization, capital markets, and financial infrastructure for institutions such as KKR, Apollo, and J.P. Morgan, establishing the core rails that will bring institutional finance onchain.

🔺 AVAX One (NASDAQ:AVX)
The premier institutional gateway to the onchain financial economy, powered by Avalanche.

Thrilled to go live with this today.

AVAX One will be the first direct, scalable way to invest in AVAX, with a primary mandate to maximize AVAX/share.

Read below for more details.

[Hivemind @HivemindCap]

1/ Hivemind will lead a $550M strategy with @agriforcegs(AGRI), the first NASDAQ-listed company dedicated to maximizing ownership of $AVAX, the native token of the @avax Network. The company will be renamed AVAX One after deal closing.

(1) Woot! Psyched to have co-led @spaceandtime's Series A round alongside an awesome group of investors.

Historically, limited data availability on-chain has proved a major impediment for making "smart" applications. Space and Time is poised to change the game here.

[Hivemind @HivemindCap]

1/ Thrilled to announce that Hivemind is co-leading a $20M Series A Funding Round for @spaceandtime, a verifiable compute layer for AI x Blockchain, alongside @hiFramework, @FactionVC, and @Arrington_Cap 🚀

Blockchain technology is redefining how we establish trust in data, driving a growing demand for trustless, verifiable data processing. Yet, traditional data solutions remain largely inaccessible on-chain, stunting the development of advanced dApps and highlighting the urgent need for seamless integration between on- and off-chain data. Space and Time (SxT) is addressing this challenge head-on, rapidly emerging as a market leader with a number of industry defining innovations already under it’s belt.

At the heart of what SxT’s is building is its Proof of SQL mechanism, a proprietary zero-knowledge proof that ensures all computations within the ecosystem are tamperproof and verifiable at scale. This technology not only fortifies the security of blockchain data but also enables smart contracts and AI agents to interact with on- and off-chain data confidently. SxT has also introduced a cutting-edge blockchain indexer, aiming to provide verifiable data across multiple chains, including Ethereum, ZKsync, and Polygon. And finally, their AI-powered frontend, Space and Time Studio, empowers even non-developers to leverage blockchain data through natural language prompts, making complex data processing accessible to a broader audience. And yet, this is just the beginning.

As SxT continues to innovate, it’s clear that the intersection of AI and blockchain is more than just an enhancement to the developer experience—it’s a fundamental shift towards a “verify everything” future. By empowering true community ownership and fostering a more equitable economic landscape, we believe SxT is paving the way for a new era of decentralized applications that is both secure and user-friendly.

We’re excited to support SxT as they continue to redefine what’s possible in blockchain data processing and help bring their “verify everything” future to life. 💫

[Jake Greenstein @_JakeGreenstein]

(2) S&T's ability to bring verified complex data on chain in a trustless and real-time fashion can unlock the next generation of Web3 applications. Plus, their AI-powered front end makes iteration easy and accessible for non-developers.

[Jake Greenstein @_JakeGreenstein]

Super interesting stuff here -- can't wait to see the use cases this unlocks

Welcome to the team, @kay_phillips_ !

[Kayla Phillips @kay_phillips_]

I'm thrilled to announce that I have joined @HivemindCap as a Principal on their Crypto Venture team!

There's a lot that excites me about this opportunity. Hivemind is an ambitious and fast-growing multi-strategy investment firm unlike any other I've seen in the crypto space.

In the 2 years since its founding, Hivemind has launched a venture fund, a hedge fund, and a digital culture / NFT fund (as of last week!), incubated 2 companies, and developed its own in-house crypto infrastructure.

Managing Partner @zhang_matt is truly a visionary, who brings nearly 2 decades of tradfi experience to institutionalizing digital asset investing.

And, in a crypto industry that has been rocked by compliance oversights and shady business ops over the years, Hivemind stands apart as a licensed RIA in the US. Beyond the US, it also has a global presence in crypto hubs London & Hong Kong.

The team has more big plans in store and we're just getting started!🚀

If you're an early stage crypto founder or investor, my DMs are open and I'd love to connect!

[Jake Greenstein @_JakeGreenstein]

Thrilled for Hivemind to launch our latest fund today, focused on high-end digital art. We've been working on this for many months and are thrilled to bring this to market as interest in digital assets continues to rise.

Check out the below announcement for more details. #NFTs

[Hivemind @HivemindCap]

Today, we introduce the Hivemind Digital Culture Fund: A curated collection of generative art and digital culture that is emblematic of the rising digital art movement. 🖼️

Propelled by blockchain technology, we believe digital art is on the brink of a renaissance.

Blockchain isn't just providing practical solutions like authenticity and provenance records; it's redefining every facet of our interaction with art, from creating to collecting, to community engagement and beyond. As this technology expands, so too does a unique digital-native culture and an emerging market that transcends traditional boundaries.

At Hivemind, we pride ourselves on discerning the digital asset market and introducing the right product at what we believe to be an opportune moment. Our unwavering conviction in digital art and broader digital culture as the vanguard of the future has only become more obvious by the lessons learned from the previous NFT cycle. Now, amidst signs of what we believe is a cyclical resurgence in the market, we're thrilled to be providing this new investment product at this pivotal moment.

With that, we have seeded our portfolio with pieces from some incredibly significant collections in the space. Our curation thesis is focused on forming a collection that not only stands out for its exceptional quality but also tells a compelling, ongoing narrative about the evolving landscape of digital art in real-time.

We are witnessing history in the making, and we firmly believe this is just the outset. The Hivemind Digital Culture Fund serves as our means to chronicle, celebrate, and contribute to this monumental renaissance, while also offering our investors an elevated, yet accessible way to do the same.

See below for more information and stay tuned as we reveal our collection!

@FOS @SpongeBob There should be a Taylor Swift broadcast, too, as the NFL tries to retain new potential fans who are only watching because of her this year

Also, this just shows how the complexity / challenges of being a miner. Hashrate can rise even as prices fall, and more efficient hardware is coming online all the time.

Not to even mention the upcoming halving...

[Jake Greenstein @_JakeGreenstein]

Prices will go up and prices will go down, but sometimes it's helpful to step back and think about just how impressive the BTC network is.

[Yassine Elmandjra @yassine_elman]

Bitcoin's hash rate hit an all time high 500 exahashes/s this month.

To highlight the enormity of this number:
- For every star in our galaxy, the Bitcoin network is calculating 5 billion computations per second.
- It would take ~2000 years for the entire global population, each performing one hash/second, to match the Bitcoin network's hash rate.
- The Bitcoin network performs ~67 times more hashes per second than there are grains of sand on Earth.
- By number of raw operations/second, Bitcoin is ~500x more performant than the world's most powerful supercomputer.

Yet, there are skeptics out there that still believe "bitcoin is backed by nothing".

One of my favorite reads of the year. Looking forward to diving into the 2024 edition.
