Crypto Roundup - Mar 22


In recent developments in the tech and finance sectors, Google has integrated Ethereum Name Service (ENS) into its search functionality, enhancing user access to blockchain-based web addresses directly through Google search. Meanwhile, FTX's bankruptcy proceedings have led to bankers organizing buyers for the company's 8% stake in AI startup Anthropic, signifying strategic moves in the tech and crypto industries. BlackRock's foray into Ethereum with a $100 million money market fund was met with mixed reactions as the fund's wallet was inundated with low-value memecoins and NFTs, alongside a significant amount of USDC, revealing the volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets and the challenges traditional finance institutions face in adapting to digital assets.

Top Stories:

  • Google Adds ENS: Strengthening blockchain's accessibility by incorporating Ethereum Name Service into Google's search mechanism.

  • FTX's Stake in AI Startup: Bankers are orchestrating the sale of FTX's 8% ownership in Anthropic as part of the bankruptcy settlement process.

  • BlackRock's Ethereum Experiment: Encounters the unpredictable aspect of crypto, with its Ethereum-based fund being targeted with unsolicited token deposits.

BlackRock clearly wants to take crypto seriously. Too bad it’s forever silly.

Opinion: It has taken years for BlackRock to start working with Ethereum. Crypto ruined it within minutes.
