CUBE3.AI Unveils AI-Driven Technology to Detect and Block Rising Tide of New Scams and Fraud

Palo Alto, California, United States, September 5th, 2024, Chainwire

AI-driven platform detects fraud at its earliest stages, preventing billions in potential crypto losses

As scams grow more sophisticated and increasingly target crypto for laundering billions in losses, CUBE3.AI is pioneering a new era in fraud prevention. Today, the company announced major enhancements to its platform that bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, enabling real-time risk assessment and the proactive blocking of scams like pig butchering, ransomware, sextortion, and others.

In 2023, investment scams alone led to more than $4.5 billion in losses, with 86% linked to cryptocurrency. A substantial portion of these scams originate in Web2—through social media interactions, fraudulent websites, or other online channels—before transitioning into crypto where recovering stolen assets becomes nearly impossible. While the industry has traditionally focused on either Web2 or Web3, CUBE3.AI leverages unique expertise and proprietary AI technology that seamlessly integrates both realms, enabling the detection and prevention of fraud across the entire digital landscape. This approach addresses a critical gap by offering a holistic view of fraud patterns across both Web2 and Web3, enabling early detection, thorough risk assessment, and timely intervention.

“The most damaging scams often involve complex journeys that span both traditional and crypto spaces. We’ve built a solution that looks at the full picture, from initial contact in Web2 all the way to final transactions in Web3,” said Einaras Gravrock, CEO of CUBE3.AI. “Real-time fraud prevention is a complex challenge that requires expertise in both realms, along with advanced technology capable of interpreting diverse data and understanding context. Our platform is more than just technology—it’s about restoring trust. Whether it’s protecting businesses from dirty money or safeguarding people from devastating losses, this solution marks a significant step forward in the fight against digital fraud.”

CUBE3.AI’s enhanced platform integrates data from social media, online platforms, and dark web sources, combining it with real-time Web3 transaction monitoring. Proprietary AI models trained to interpret the context of this data generate a comprehensive risk score, empowering businesses to act swiftly before scams escalate. By offering seamless visibility into both Web2 and Web3 activities, CUBE3.AI allows organizations to preemptively block threats that would otherwise go unnoticed until it’s too late.

“As criminals increasingly rely on AI to scale their attacks, our response has to be just as sophisticated. Our AI-powered tools connect the dots between Web2 and Web3, giving us a unique edge in identifying threats before they escalate,” said Chris Griffiths, CTO of CUBE3.AI. “By offering this level of visibility and speed, we empower businesses to make informed decisions and protect their users in real time.”

These new capabilities provide exchanges, financial institutions, and service providers with the early detection and risk management they need to avoid facilitating fraud, protect user trust, and minimize financial losses. By offering a solution that integrates data from both Web2 and Web3, CUBE3.AI sets a new standard in fraud prevention, helping businesses stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats.

Netcapital Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Results

2024-09-16T20:15:00Z
  • Management to Host Earnings Call on September 17, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. ET

BOSTON, MA, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Netcapital Inc. (Nasdaq: NCPL, NCPLW) (the “Company”), a digital private capital markets ecosystem, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 ended July 31, 2024.

“This was a challenging quarter for us, driven primarily by a decrease in revenues for services that we provide in exchange for equity securities,” said Martin Kay, CEO of Netcapital Inc. “However, we have taken what we believe are important steps to lay the groundwork for future opportunities. In May 2024, for example, we announced that our wholly-owned subsidiary, Netcapital Securities Inc. applied for broker-dealer registration with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). We believe that by having a registered broker-dealer, it could create opportunities to expand our revenue base by hosting and generating additional fees from Reg A+ and Reg D offerings on the Netcapital platform. In addition, in July 2024, we announced the launch of our beta version of a secondary trading platform through the Templum ATS to a closed group of users. This secondary trading platform has been designed to provide investors who purchase stock through the Netcapital funding portal with the potential for secondary trading through access to the Templum ATS.”

The operation of the Templum ATS remains subject to extensive regulation and oversight. Any regulatory delays or objections will result in delays in our ability to launch the proposed secondary trading platform, if at all.

Netcapital Securities Inc.’s application to become a registered broker-dealer remains subject to regulatory approval and/or licensing from the Financial Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). No assurance can be given as to when or if such approvals may be granted or when, if at all, Netcapital will be able to expand the services it offers.

First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue decreased approximately 91% year-over-year to $142,227, compared to revenue of $1,519,809 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.
  • Total funding portal revenues (consisting of portal fees, listing fees and a 1% equity fee) decreased approximately 62% year-over-year to $142,056 compared to $375,856 in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
  • Operating loss of ($2,508,237) for the first quarter fiscal 2025 as compared to ($749,020) for the first quarter fiscal 2024, an increase of 235%
  • Net loss of ($2,527,170) in the first quarter fiscal 2025, compared to net loss of ($491,655), for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 414%
  • Loss per share of ($5.10) in the first quarter year ended July 31, 2024, increased approximately 11% compared to loss per share of ($4.61) for the same period in the prior year.
  • As of July 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $855,181.
