Abu Dhabi, UAE, 5th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Lowkick Studio has officially announced the launch of the $SHARDS token, the core of its upcoming Web3 MMORPG, WorldShards. The token generation event (TGE) coincides with listings on top-tier exchanges, beginning with Bybit and Binance Alpha. The event comes as the game transitions from Early Access toward a full PC release.
The milestone is being marked with a 30-day free trial. Players who remain active for at least 25 days during the trial will secure permanent game access. This will set the stage for WorldShards’ next growth phase.
A Fair Launch for a Player-Driven Economy
The team working on the project is using what they call a “100% fair launch model” for $SHARDS. The project will not give any tokens to the development team or early investors. The distribution is meant to put players at the center of this game world. Over half of the tokens (60%) will be used for game rewards, and 25% will fuel the ecosystem development. The other 15% will be used for marketing and community growth.
All allocations have a 6-year vesting period, which is a popular strategy in crypto to bring long-term platform sustainability. It is also important to mention that $SHARDS plays a central role in the WorldShards economy. Gamers can use it for crafting and get upgrades or rare NFTs. Token transactions are allowed and encouraged within the project’s ecosystem.
Strong Early Momentum
Even before its token launch, WorldShards has demonstrated significant traction in the blockchain gaming sector:
Over $8.9 million in NFT sales.
More than 400,000 people joined the WorldShards community.
Users spent over 3.1 million hours playing the game.
The project has also gained industry recognition. In fact, it was named “Most Anticipated Blockchain Game (2025)” and got the Best Game Design (2025) award from PlayToEarn.com.

XRP is no longer just a cross-border payment tool. Ripplecoin Mining launches a smart cloud mining service, enabling global investors to earn stable daily returns with XRP, easily opening a new model for passive digital asset appreciation
United States, 5th Sep 2025 – The cryptocurrency market experienced a strong rebound on Tuesday after a sharp sell-off. XRP was the first to recover from its lows, rising over 6% in 24 hours, becoming the best-performing mainstream digital asset in the market. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price returned to $111,000, while Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin also saw varying degrees of gains. The latest data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) shows that total open interest in cryptocurrency futures has exceeded $30 billion for the first time, with XRP futures exceeding the $1 billion mark in just three months, reflecting the rapidly growing interest of institutional investors in this asset.
Against this backdrop, Ripplecoin Mining, a leading AI-driven cloud mining platform, has announced the launch of a new XRP-exclusive mining contract to help investors convert their XRP holdings into stable daily returns, freeing them from over-reliance on price fluctuations and opening up a new channel for global users to increase their coin value.
Why choose XRP as a yield-generating asset?
XRP (Ripple) is renowned for its fast transaction confirmation speeds, extremely low fees, and widespread use in cross-border payments. With growing institutional demand and the potential launch of a spot XRP ETF, XRP is gradually evolving from a simple payment tool to a highly effective asset for investors to earn passive income.
On the Ripplecoin Mining platform, users no longer rely on XRP price increases to profit. Instead, they can use the smart cloud mining service to directly invest their XRP holdings in hashrate contracts, earning a stable daily return and truly achieving “holding and earning interest.”
How to use XRP to start mining and get daily income?
With just a few simple steps, you can easily start XRP cloud mining through the Ripplecoin Mining platform and get daily passive income:
After logging in, go to the “Asset Management” page, select “Top up XRP”, and get a dedicated wallet address. You only need to transfer 40 XRP through an exchange or personal wallet to participate in the platform mining service, with zero handling fees and fast arrival.
3. Choose a mining plan
The platform provides a variety of cloud computing contracts to adapt to different capital scales and risk preferences, and supports mining of mainstream currencies such as BTC, ETH, and DOGE:
Experience contract: investment amount: $100 | contract period: 2 days | daily income: $5 | total income: $110
Classic contract: investment amount: $500 | period: 5 days | daily income: $6 | total income: $530
Classic contract: investment amount: $3,000 | period: 14 days | daily income: $42 | total income: $3,588
Advanced contract: investment amount: $5,200 | period: 15 days | daily income: $74 | total income: $6,315
Advanced contract: investment amount: $25,000 | period: 29 days | daily income: $425 | total income: $37,325
After the contract is activated, the system will automatically settle the mining income every day and distribute it to the user’s account in real time. Users can withdraw to their personal wallets at any time, or choose to reinvest and enjoy the long-term benefits brought by compound interest growth.
Ripplecoin Mining: An intelligent platform that turns XRP into daily cash flow
Ripplecoin Mining relies on powerful global computing resources, a robust and compliant operating system, and a fully automatic cloud mining system to provide XRP holders with a one-stop passive income solution of “zero threshold startup and automatic income settlement”. Users do not need to purchase mining machines or technical knowledge, just recharge XRP to start cloud mining plans for mainstream currencies such as BTC with one click, and easily obtain daily income.
The five core advantages of the platform include:
XRP direct start: users can directly use XRP to purchase cloud computing contracts without currency exchange, and the process is efficient and convenient.
AI-driven intelligent mining: The platform uses an automated intelligent system for mining scheduling, and the income is automatically distributed to the account every day without manual operation.
Diversified income plans: Supports short-term trial contracts to medium- and long-term high-yield strategies to meet the needs of investors with different capital sizes and risk preferences.
Institutional-level security: The platform uses cold and hot wallet separation, multiple identity authentication mechanisms, and data encryption storage to fully protect user asset security.
Global user service: Supports multi-language interface and 7×24-hour customer service system, serving users in 180+ countries and regions, mining without borders.
Ripplecoin Mining is redefining the value of “holding coins” and helping global XRP investors transform digital assets into stable and continuous cash flow through low-threshold and high-efficiency mining methods.
Looking Ahead
With the gradual maturity of the cryptocurrency market and the rapid influx of institutional capital, high-quality digital assets such as XRP are entering a new cycle of revaluation. Ripplecoin Mining will continue to expand its offerings of decentralized finance (DeFi)-related assets and mining contracts, optimize the platform’s security and user experience, and provide a stable and sustainable passive income solution for global investors.
About Ripplecoin Mining
Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, Ripplecoin Mining is a leading global intelligent cloud mining platform. Leveraging AI-powered computing power scheduling and green energy data centers, the platform supports a wide range of mainstream digital currencies, including XRP, BTC, and ETH, serving 9.5 million users worldwide in over 180 countries and regions. Adhering to the principle of “creating value with every digital asset,” we are committed to building a secure, transparent, and scalable cloud mining ecosystem for our users.

MALAYSIA – LUXERA, a leader in decentralized solutions, announces the launch of its XERA token ($XERA) on PancakeSwap. This introduces a deflationary BEP-20 token with a initial cap of 31 million tokens—mirroring Bitcoin’s scarcity—to power its anonymous, no-KYC gaming and payment ecosystems. Audited by Ave.ai and with a confirmed future Binance listing, XERA presents a major growth opportunity.
Scarcity, Security, and Immediate Availability
XERA establishes a new standard with a rigorous deflationary model. The initial supply of 31 million tokens will be reduced by a 10 million token burn, leaving a final, immutable supply of only 21 million. This creates digital scarcity designed to drive value.
The project’s smart contract has successfully passed a comprehensive audit by AVE.AI, ensuring security and transparency. The token is now available for public trading on PancakeSwap.
“We are merging Bitcoin’s scarcity with real utility across gaming and payments,” said a LUXERA spokesperson. “The 21 million cap is a core promise of value for our community.”
The Confirmed Path to Binance
LUXERA has secured a contractual agreement to list the XERA token on Binance within the next three years. This planned listing will provide global access and liquidity, marking a significant milestone in the project’s roadmap.
Governance and Utility
LUXERA operates under a Malaysian Koperasi license, ensuring a compliant and community-focused framework. The XERA token is the utility engine for two key ecosystems:
1. Anonymous eGaming Platform: A no-KYC gaming platform where $XERA is the exclusive currency for games.
2. Payment Gateway: A merchant solution where all transaction fees must be paid in $XERA, creating constant demand.
How to Acquire and Earn XERA
The only way to acquire $XERA is on the open market via PancakeSwap; no tokens are sold directly by the company. Holders can earn a daily airdrop of 0.5% to 3% by locking their tokens in PinkLock, rewarding long-term commitment.
XERA Token Key Metrics:
· Token: XERA (BEP-20)
· Final Supply: 21 Million (after 10M burn)
· Listing: Live on PancakeSwap
· Audit: Successfully completed by AVE.AI
· Staking: Earn 0.5%-3% daily via PinkLock
About LUXERA
LUXERA is a technology company building compliant Web3 ecosystems governed by a Malaysian Koperasi license. Its XERA token is designed to be a benchmark for utility and value in crypto.
The mineralization in drill hole DV25-446 includes native silver and is consistent with the robust style of mineralization with a significant increase in associated gold and base metal values. Additional drilling at Wolf is being prioritized for the remainder of the season
Vancouver, BC – September 4, 2025 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Dolly Varden Silver. On September 2, 2025 Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV: DV) (NYSE American: DVS) (FSE: DVQ) announced that backfill directional drilling at the Wolf Vein in hole DV25-446 has intersected1,422 g/t silver over 21.70 meters,including 10,700 g/t silver over 1.00 meter.
The ongoing success at the Wolf Vein is a lesson in the importance of hiring and empowering young geological talent. DV inherited archival drill data that went back to 1910. Four years ago, a new hire, Amanda Bennett, reviewed and analysed the old data.
Bennett zeroed in on the Wolf Vein as an area of interest. Dolly Varden’s VP of Exploration Rob van Egmond looked at her model, and said, “Let’s give it a try”.
“Back in 2021, we drilled the downward extension from the Wolf Mine and found a continuation of the system,” Bennett told Global Stocks News (GSN). “We’ve followed it at depth, extending it well over 1,100 meters. The Wolf Vein has exceeded my expectations.”
“These high-grade silver results over wide intervals suggest excellent continuity at the Wolf Vein,” stated Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver, in the August 2, 2025 press release. “The mineralization in drill hole DV25-446 includes native silver and is consistent with the robust style of mineralization with a significant increase in associated gold and base metal values. Additional drilling at Wolf is being prioritized for the remainder of the season.”
“The gold and base metal grades are getting stronger as we go deeper at the Wolf Vein,” van Egmond confirmed to GSN. “With gold at an all-time high, that is a positive development. The lead and zinc numbers also impact the metallurgy. The lead helps with the silver recoveries.”
The existing road to the Wolf Vein is currently not accessible. It is more efficient to use a helicopter for crew change and resupply.
“There’s no camp there,” confirmed Bennett. “It’s just a drill site. Every 12 hours, the helicopter delivers the drill crew, and the other crew rotates out. We have two project managers spelling each other off, who supervise the drillers.”
Leasing a helicopter is not cheap, but van Egmond told GSN that new technologies available in remote locations are providing savings.
“We now have a reliable satellite internet connection,” van Egmond told GSN, “which enables both the drilling crew and geologists to communicate with us in real time. They log the data onto a tablet and download it to an off-site server.”
“The drills also have satellite connection now,” continued van Egmond. “So the drillers can send pictures of the core in real time.”
Dolly Varden is using directional drilling technology to precisely target areas for step-out and infill work at both Wolf and Homestake Silver. Drillhole DV25-446 is a deflection hole (daughter hole) off the initial “mother” hole. The vein intercept in DV25-446 is approximately 105 meters up plunge (in-fill) from the 2024 step out DV24-421.
The directional drilling has allowed DV to decrease total meters drilled by utilizing the same mother hole numerous times.
The 55,000-meter 2025 summer drill campaign is estimated using the total length of each drill hole as if each hole started from surface. Since the total meterage estimate includes those “re-drilled” mother hole lengths, actual meters of new core will be in the order of 41,000 meters, thus achieving the same number of mineralized intercepts while drilling significantly fewer meters at Wolf and Homestake Silver.
“Mining companies use directional drilling when they want to reduce the total number of drilled meters for a multi-target drilling program,” confirms DV drill contractor Aziwell. “It is highly efficient and precise.”
Ten years ago, Dolly Varden was a “silver pure play”, which is quite rare. Seventy percent of global silver production comes from lead, zinc and gold mines, where silver is produced as a by-product.
In the last few years, Dolly Varden has started hitting significant gold intercepts. For example, in February 2024, a step-out drill program at Homestake Ridge intersected a new gold-rich zone: HR23-389: 79.49 g/t gold over 12.45 meters.
DV’s metal inventory value is now approximately a 50/50 split between silver and gold.
The rising price of gold has a double benefit for Dolly Varden: 1. It increases the value of the gold-in-the-ground inventory, 2. If the silver-gold ratio returns to its historical norm, it may boost the price of silver.
“The Silver price jumped above the USD 40 per troy ounce mark for the first time in 14 years at the beginning of the week, buoyed by the rise in the Gold price,” Commerzbank’s commodity analyst Carsten Fritsch notes.
“Our progress in 2025 is the culmination of five years of hard work by our team,” Khunkhun told GSN. “In that time span, we’ve gone from two past-producing historical mines to five, we’ve drilled 141,000 meters with consistent high-grade silver and gold hits, our land package has gone from 7,000 hectares to 100,000 (+1,400%), and our market capitalisation has moved from $20 million to $460 million (+2,200%).
As the drilling season closes out, five diamond drills are working on the Kitsault Valley and Big Bulk Projects. Focus has been on step-out and infill drilling of the Wolf Vein and Homestake Silver deposits, as well as exploration drilling of the copper-gold porphyry system at Big Bulk and several other targets in the Kitsault Valley. More results will be released as they are received and incorporated into the company’s models.
Rob van Egmond, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration for Dolly Varden Silver, the “Qualified Person” as defined by NI43-101, has reviewed, validated and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this GSN release.

Givy, a Shopify ecommerce app, now allows merchants to sell gift cards in any supported currency, providing a seamless experience for customers
Givy, a leading gifting solution provider for Shopify merchants, today announced the launch of the first comprehensive multi-currency gift card solution for Shopify and Shopify Plus platforms. This groundbreaking feature addresses a critical challenge faced by international merchants: the ability to offer gift cards in multiple currencies with fixed, localized denominations while maintaining price consistency and customer experience across all markets.
The new functionality represents a significant advancement in ecommerce gifting capabilities, enabling merchants to set specific gift card denominations for each supported currency rather than relying on automated conversions that result in irregular amounts. This innovation arrives at a crucial time for global retailers preparing for the holiday shopping season, when gift card sales traditionally account for a substantial portion of annual revenue.
Addressing a Critical Gap in International Commerce International Shopify merchants have long faced significant obstacles in offering gift cards across multiple currencies. The traditional approach, which converts gift card values from the merchant’s default currency into other currencies, has created numerous friction points in the customer experience. These conversions typically result in unrounded amounts that appear unprofessional and can confuse customers – for example, a gift card intended as a €50 gift appearing as €51.37 due to currency conversion.
Furthermore, fluctuating exchange rates have historically created additional complications, causing the effective value of gift cards to vary over time. This instability has led to customer dissatisfaction when gift card balances unexpectedly fail to cover intended purchases due to rate changes, ultimately impacting merchant reputation and customer loyalty.
Givy’s solution eliminates these pain points by allowing merchants to establish fixed, rounded denominations for every currency they support. Merchants can now offer $50 gift cards to US customers, €50 gift cards to European customers, and £50 gift cards to UK customers, with each maintaining its intended value and professional appearance throughout the customer journey.
Advanced Technology Ensuring Consistency and Accuracy The platform’s sophisticated approach to multi-currency support extends beyond simple denomination management. Givy continuously updates gift card balances based on current conversion rates, ensuring that value remains consistent and fair across all supported currencies. This dynamic balance management occurs seamlessly in the background, maintaining the customer-facing simplicity while protecting both merchant margins and customer value.
The customer experience has been meticulously designed to maintain consistency throughout the purchase and redemption journey. Gift card amounts are displayed in the customer’s selected currency from initial browsing through final checkout, eliminating confusion and building trust in the transaction process. This consistency is particularly valuable for gift purchases, where the purchaser’s confidence in the gift’s value directly impacts conversion rates.
“Selling gift cards in multiple currencies on Shopify has been a struggle for merchants selling internationally,” states JP Tetrault, co-founder of Givy. “As a leader in the gifting space, our team wanted to offer an elegant solution for customers, and a simple implementation for merchants – we achieved this with this release.”
Strategic Timing for Peak Gifting Season The introduction of this feature aligns strategically with the approaching holiday shopping season, when gift card sales experience their highest volumes. Industry research indicates that gift card purchases during November and December can represent up to 30% of annual gift card revenue, making a streamlined, professional gifting experience essential for maximizing seasonal opportunities.
A sophisticated gifting flow becomes particularly critical during high-volume periods when customer expectations are elevated and competition for wallet share intensifies. Merchants operating across multiple markets require solutions that can deliver consistent, localized experiences without adding operational complexity. Givy’s multi-currency feature addresses this need by providing a turnkey solution that requires minimal configuration while delivering maximum impact.
The platform also enhances the gift-giving experience through integrated features that facilitate gift card presentation and delivery. Customers can easily personalize their gifts with custom messages, schedule delivery timing, and select from professionally designed templates, transforming a simple transaction into a meaningful gesture. These capabilities are especially valuable for international gifting, where the ability to send appropriately valued gifts across borders opens new revenue opportunities for merchants.
Seamless Integration with Shopify Markets Givy’s multi-currency functionality has been architected to integrate seamlessly with Shopify’s Markets infrastructure, creating a comprehensive solution for international commerce. Shopify Markets enables merchants to customize their store experience for different regions, including currency, language, and pricing strategies. Givy extends this localization to gift cards, ensuring that this important product category receives the same level of market-specific optimization as physical products.
This integration approach means that merchants who have already invested in Shopify Markets configuration can immediately benefit from multi-currency gift cards without additional technical implementation. The solution respects existing market settings and automatically adapts to merchant-defined currency preferences, creating a cohesive international selling strategy.
The compatibility with Shopify’s native infrastructure also ensures that the solution scales effectively as merchants expand into new markets. As businesses add support for additional currencies or regions, Givy’s gift card functionality automatically extends to these new markets, maintaining consistency and reducing the operational burden of international expansion.
Givy: Pioneering Innovation in Digital Gifting Givy has established itself as an innovative force in the Shopify ecosystem by consistently delivering functionality that addresses real merchant challenges while enhancing the customer experience. The company’s approach to gift card solutions goes beyond basic functionality to consider the emotional and practical aspects of gifting in modern ecommerce.
As an innovative gifting solution for Shopify merchants, Givy delivers unique functionality not found in other offerings. The platform is currently trusted by thousands of Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants across diverse industries and markets, from emerging brands testing international waters to established enterprises requiring sophisticated gifting capabilities at scale.
The company’s commitment to innovation is evidenced by its comprehensive approach to solving the multi-currency challenge. Rather than offering a superficial solution that merely displays different currency symbols, Givy has developed a robust system that addresses the full lifecycle of multi-currency gift cards, from purchase through redemption, while considering factors such as exchange rate fluctuations, tax implications, and accounting requirements.
Implications for Global Ecommerce Growth This launch represents a significant milestone in the evolution of international ecommerce infrastructure. As online commerce increasingly transcends geographical boundaries, the tools and platforms supporting global trade must evolve to meet rising customer expectations for localized, professional experiences. Gift cards, as both a product category and a customer acquisition tool, play a crucial role in this evolution.
For established international merchants, Givy’s multi-currency solution removes a persistent source of customer friction and operational complexity. The ability to offer professionally presented, accurately valued gift cards in any supported currency enhances brand perception and reduces support inquiries related to gift card values and conversions.
For merchants considering international expansion, the availability of sophisticated multi-currency gift card functionality reduces barriers to entry. The knowledge that gift cards – often a merchant’s most profitable product category – can be offered seamlessly across all markets provides confidence in international growth strategies.
The solution also has implications for customer behavior and market dynamics. By enabling true cross-border gifting with appropriate currency handling, merchants can tap into new customer segments and gifting occasions. International students, expatriates, and global families represent significant untapped markets for merchants capable of delivering seamless multi-currency gifting experiences.
Implementation and Availability Givy’s multi-currency gift card feature is now available to all Givy users on Shopify and Shopify Plus platforms. The implementation process has been designed for simplicity, with automatic detection of Shopify Markets configuration and intuitive setup workflows that enable merchants to configure multi-currency gift cards in minutes rather than hours.

Looking for the Top 10 ASICs for Profitable Bitcoin Mining in 2025? We’ve rounded up the most efficient, powerful, and cost-effective machines to help you maximize profits and avoid rookie mistakes.
Bitcoin mining in 2025 isn’t for the faint of heart—it’s a battlefield of hash power, efficiency, and strategy. With difficulty climbing higher than ever and competition heating up, miners can’t just plug in any old rig and expect to see green. Nope, profitability hinges on one thing: having the right ASIC miners (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) humming away in your corner.
But here’s the kicker: with new models hitting the market and manufacturers like Bitmain, MicroBT, and even fresh challengers like Hashivo pushing boundaries, picking the right ASIC can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. Don’t sweat it, though—I’ve done the digging for you.
In this guide, we’ll break down the Top 10 ASICs for Profitable Bitcoin Mining in 2025. From compact little powerhouses to hydro-cooled monsters, you’ll see which rigs are worth your hard-earned cash. Oh, and I’ll throw in a handy comparison table, buying tips, FAQs, and a conclusion that’ll tie it all together. Ready to roll? Let’s dive in!
Why ASICs Rule the Bitcoin Mining World
Before we jump into the juicy list, let’s clear the air: why ASICs and not GPUs or CPUs?
Specialized Power – Unlike GPUs that handle many tasks, ASICs are built only for hashing Bitcoin’s SHA-256 algorithm.
Better Efficiency – They churn out far more hashes per watt than other hardware.
Long-Term Profitability – In a world where energy costs can make or break your mining ROI, ASICs keep you ahead of the curve.

San Francisco, 2nd September 2025:Portal to Bitcoin (PORTAL), a custodyless protocol bringing atomic swaps natively to Bitcoin and other blockchains, announced today that its native token, $PTB, will be listed on a number of the world’s foremost cryptocurrency exchanges. The earned listings to this point are Binance Alpha & Futures, Kraken, KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitget, and MEXC, significantly escalating the accessibility and liquidity to token holders throughout the globe.
Portal has seen robust user growth and network activity levels in the past few months. So far, on testnet, the platform has handled 18m transactions, attracted more than 1.3m downloads in the Chrome Web Store, and helped 850,000 wallets grow. More than 950,000 are still active wallets, which is a good 73 % retention rate, which shows how relevant the project has become to a growing worldwide audience.
It has also benefited from significant funding to develop the ecosystem. The company raised $92m from top-tier investors such as Coinbase Ventures, OKX Ventures, Arrington Capital, Republic, Shima Capital, and prominent institutional investors and blockchain founders affiliated with Ethereum, Tether, Dfinity, and Hedera. Furthermore, Portal recently committed to an ecosystem fund of $50,000,000 committed by Paloma Investments to expedite developer adoption, ecosystem growth, and institutional acceptance. This fund is designed to bring Portal’s infrastructure integrations to to mass market and make Bitcoin the settlement layer for all of TradF,i not just DeFi.
“Central to this expansion is BitScaler, its proprietary scaling technology that allows Bitcoin to handle more transaction types and higher throughput than even lightning with lower fees without changes to the core Bitcoin protocol, requiring no bridges, L2s, Sidechains, wrapped derivatives, etc,” says Dr. Chandra Duggirala, CEO and Founder of Portal to Bitcoin.
The $PTB token is built for long-term growth and to reward all valuable ecosystem participants. All swaps on the network are charged a 0.3% fee, 0.15% refilled and burned $PTB, reducing the circulating supply and creating significant deflationary conditions as demand grows. Incentives are well aligned in all aspects of the distribution:
Liquidity providers receive the majority of emissions
Validators and lite nodes are rewarded for securing the network
Community members benefit from airdrops, partly released at token generation event and gradually thereafter
Development and reserves remain largely subject to long-term lock-ups
“Portal’s token design ensures that participants, from liquidity providers to validators, are rewarded both in the near and long term. Early contributors stand to benefit from direct distribution for the value they contributed to the network, while the burn mechanism helps sustain the network expansion and utility as well as value,”continues Dr. Duggirala.
Portal’s ecosystem extends beyond swaps. Its Portal Wallet provides multi-currency support while maintaining all important self-custody and is embedded with a cross-chain DEX. The Swap SDK provides ease of integration for third-party wallets and DEXs, and the project’s AI-driven investment copilot, RAFA-AI, serves as a strategy and decision-making system for professional traders.
The founding members are influential figures from both blockchain and high technology fields, including Dr Chandra Duggirala (inventor of BTC Layer 2 cross-chain atomic swaps), George Burke (Bitcoin OG and inventor of first Bitcoin debit card), and Manoj Duggirala (Stanford-trained engineer who also made many contributions to Apple’s M7 core processor).
With multi-exchange listings under its belt, solid financial support for the long-term journey ahead, and real-world adoption metrics in early growth mode, Portal to Bitcoin is set to play a fundamental role in taking Bitcoin to its next stage as the global financial reckoning foundation.
About Portal to Bitcoin
Portal is non-custodial infrastructure enabling atomic swaps between Bitcoin and other chains—without bridges, Cex’s, or wrapped assets. Its technology stack includes BitScaler, PortalOS, the Portal Wallet, Swap SDK, and RAFA-AI. The protocol is backed by Coinbase Ventures, OKX Ventures, Arrington Capital, and others, with a funding pedigree totaling $92 million from tier one investors such as Coinbase Ventures, Shima Capital, and Arrington Capital.
