Two newly created cryptocurrency wallets have accumulated a combined 18,914.13 $ETH — worth approximately $35.2 million — over the past 10 hours, according to data reported by BlockBeats.

Recent public filings from Companies House in the UK show Nvidia’s investment arm, NVentures, put about $196 million (£145 million) into Revolut last year. The filing indicates NVentures owns roughly 141,834 shares. With that funding, Revolut held onto its $75 billion price tag, which puts it among the most highly valued privately held tech companies in Europe. The valuation happened during a secondary sale of Revolut shares in 2025. Most of this funding came from a secondary sale, meaning it wasn’t Revolut raising fresh capital for day-to-day business. Instead, current shareholders and staff sold off some of their own stakes.…

I’m actually wearing a cryptographer-1 shirt right now.” I’m not generally considered a…

Source: CryptoRank Now, what’s peculiar is how against the historic tide these gains have been. So far, $ETH has delivered an average July return of…

Indian households are the world’s largest holders of gold, according to a report by the World Gold Council (WGC). Including gold stored in temples, these total holdings reach around 25,000 tonnes, with an estimated value of about $1.5 trillion.

Unlocking Massive Liquidity in India The huge capital locked in India’s gold reserve could be transformed into massive…

$POL (Polygon Ecosystem Token) is the native gas and staking token of the Polygon network (@0xPolygon), one of the best known Ethereum Layer 2 scaling networks, running on proof of stake.

If you held MATIC, you most likely hold $POL now whether you lifted a finger or not. Here is what the token is, how the switch happened, and…
