Manifund, a charity founded by Austin Chen that focuses on AI and effective altruism causes, has created quite the stir by admitting to hiring disgraced CEO of Alameda Research, Caroline Ellison. While the controversy is fascinating, the history behind it is detailed, lengthy, and bizarre. In March of 2022 Chen’s organization, then called Manifold Markets, applied for $500,000 in funding from the FTX Future Fund, the philanthropic arm of FTX, to setup Manifold For Charity (now known as Manifund). Most notably, two important EA figures helped run the Future Fund, and therefore helped approve Chen’s grant application: William MacAskill and…

Bubblemaps, the onchain intelligence platform, is rolling out a major platform revamp today, headlined by a new feed built for memecoin tools and token research. Rather than surfacing every new token, the feed screens them first, filtering out tokens showing insider clusters and bundles, two of the clearest onchain signals of coordinated manipulation, before they ever reach a user’s screen. The distinction matters for token analysis. A bundle flags wallets that bought within the same block or seconds of launch, typically a sign of sniping bots or a team pre-loading its own token. A cluster flags wallets linked by shared…

Bitcoin price is trading near $77,000 ahead of today’s Federal Reserve decision after another attempt to reclaim $80K lost momentum. Rising Treasury yields, a stronger dollar and expectations for tighter monetary policy have kept pressure on risk assets, while $BTC remains below the upper end of its recent range.

Fed Meeting Today Set the Stage for Bitcoin’s Next Move The broader crypto and stock market are heavily…

Together with a professional auditor, they’ve raised €8.2 million to build Repodo, a startup betting that artificial intelligence can finally break into the notoriously conservative audit market, starting with small businesses in Denmark rather than the multinational giants that dominate the industry today. Key takeaways Repodo raised €8.2 million to launch an AI-powered audit firm, with the round led by Hedosophia and Seed Capital. The company was founded by three former Lunar executives alongside professional auditor Anders Houmann. The…
