$DOP Announces Listing on 7 Exchanges including BYBIT, Kucoin, Gate.io, and Bitfinex

Tokyo, Japan, July 5th, 2024, Chainwire

 

$DOP, the token of the Data Ownership Protocol (DOP) will be available for trading in 7 major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Bybit, Kucoin, HTX, Bitfinex, Gate.io, MEXC, and WhiteBIT, starting July 5th, 2024.

The Data Ownership Protocol clarified that on Bybit, the token will be listed as $DOP1 to avoid confusion with an existing fiat coin. On KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitfinex, MEXC, and WhiteBIT, the token will be listed as $DOP.

DOP launched its mainnet six weeks ago, following a highly successful testnet phase that saw participation from 2.67 million users. In the last six months, the DOP ecosystem has grown significantly. Over 1 million DOP wallets have been opened, and assets worth more than 10 million USD have been encrypted using the protocol, showcasing the increasing demand for user-centric data ownership solutions.

“$DOP is the token of Data Ownership Protocol, a project that seeks to balance transparency and privacy on the blockchain, putting users in control of their data. The listing of our utility token marks a significant milestone and enhances our vision for the future of data ownership. We are thankful to our supporters and community who have believed in our mission from day one”, said Kohji Hirokado, co-founder of DOP and ex-core member at Cardano.

Currently, the $DOP token serves two primary functions within the ecosystem: facilitating fee payments and granting community rewards. The usage of the protocol’s data ownership features incurs fees payable in DOP tokens, creating a native demand for the token.

This system incentivizes DOP token retention while implementing a deflationary mechanism through fee burning. It also rewards network supporters via staking distributions. To date, 210,000,000 DOP tokens have been allocated for staking rewards, with over 1.1 billion DOP tokens already staked.

The listing announcement comes on the heels of Bybit’s positioning as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, surpassing Coinbase and trailing only Binance. Bybit’s ascent has been remarkable, with its market share doubling from 8% to 16% since October 2023.

To communicate the plans for the second half of 2024, DOP released a new roadmap following Q1’s success. The plan introduces a $5 million developer grant program, expands protocol capabilities, and plans deployment on EVM-compatible chains beyond Ethereum, reducing gas fees and reaching more users.

Moreover, the new developer SDK will enable developers to easily integrate and build dApps within the DOP ecosystem. Other objectives aim to enhance user security for managing NFTs by expanding functionality beyond ERC-20 tokens to include encryption and decryption of NFTs.

About Data Ownership Protocol (DOP)

The Data Ownership Protocol enables users to own their data. In crypto, financial data such as holdings, balances, and transaction history is publicly available on the blockchain. The mission of DOP technology is to let users decide what to share and with whom.

DOP aims to empower individuals and businesses with more control over their data through selective transparency, utilizing zero-knowledge cryptography and other advanced technologies.

Balancing AI Hype and Hope: Industry Leaders Unveil Growth Playbook at AI Apex Asia Capital Connect Forum

2024-09-27T15:37:40Z

Singapore, Sept. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The AI Apex Asia Capital Connect Forum recently concluded, offering critical insights into navigating the fine line between AI hype and genuine opportunities. With global AI investments projected to reach $200 billion by 2025, industry leaders convened to discuss strategies for sustainable growth and realistic expectations in this rapidly evolving sector.

The forum featured two pivotal panel discussions: "Accelerating AI Growth: Founders and Investors Reveal Their Playbook" and "Decoding AI: From Hype to Hope," bringing together a diverse group of experts to share their perspectives on balancing optimism with pragmatism in AI development and investment.

Separating Hype from Hope: The Rise of Agentic AI

Alex Ren, Founding Partner of Fellows Fund, highlighted a paradigm shift that moves beyond the hype of generative AI: "We're witnessing a transition from generative AI to what we call 'Agentic AI.' This technology enables autonomous decision-making and task execution, opening up incredible opportunities for startups to create transformative enterprise solutions."

Alex further elaborated on the concept of 'vertical AGI' as a more realistic and immediately impactful approach: "We're pursuing companies achieving AGI-like capabilities in specific domains such as customer support, search, marketing, or accounting. That's where we see the next wave of innovation, rather than chasing the hype of universal AGI."

Grounding AI in Practical Implementation

Jianfeng Lu, Founder & Chairman of Wiz.AI, emphasized the importance of focusing on real-world applications over grandiose claims: "The first priority should be the user scenario and customer use case. What kind of data can we accumulate to build effective AI models?"

This sentiment was echoed by Shou Dong, CEO of ADVANCE.AI, who stated, "As an AI-powered fintech, we view large language models as tools to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. We're exploring applications in customer service, collections, and even telemarketing, always with a focus on measurable improvements in performance and efficiency."

Realistic Investment Strategies in an Evolving Landscape

Matthew Ma, Managing Director of Gaorong Capital, addressed the changing requirements for AI startup founders in light of more tempered market expectations: "Today's founders need to be well-rounded - they must understand technology deeply, have strong business acumen, and possess excellent fundraising capabilities. The days of securing funding based on hype alone are behind us."

Matthew also noted a shift towards more grounded valuation metrics: "For deep tech companies, valuations are now driven by the rarity of talent and technology rather than hype. Investors are looking for clear paths to commercialization and sustainable business models."


Balancing Innovation with Regulation

Helena Ma, Advisor at Milken Institute & AI Apex Foundation, highlighted the importance of regulatory frameworks in creating a sustainable AI ecosystem: "Stringent regulatory frameworks can foster a more mature and secure AI ecosystem." This perspective underscores the need for responsible AI development that can withstand scrutiny and deliver long-term value.

Identifying Real Opportunities in Emerging Markets

Shou Dong pointed out untapped potential that goes beyond the hype in Southeast Asia: "There's still enormous opportunity in sectors like SME financing. With over 60 million small businesses across Indonesia and the Philippines alone, there's a massive market for AI-driven financial services tailored to this underserved segment."

A Roadmap for AI's Future

Weiru Chen, Professor of Strategy at CEIBS, outlined three key milestones for AI's future that balance ambition with achievability:

1. Enhancing human productivity

2. Catalyzing new, high-growth business lines

3. Generating unprecedented value through disruptive innovations

Leo Jiang, Founder of AI Business Asia, emphasized the importance of grounding AI development in tangible outcomes: "The key takeaway for founders is to address clear market needs with demonstrable potential for unicorn-level growth, regardless of whether you're leveraging AI, blockchain, or any other technology. It's about solving real problems, not chasing buzzwords."

As the AI landscape continues to evolve, the AI Apex Asia Capital Connect Forum serves as a crucial platform for innovators, investors, and industry leaders to exchange ideas and shape a future where AI lives up to its promise without falling victim to unrealistic hype. By focusing on practical applications, long-term value creation, and ethical considerations, stakeholders can better position themselves to capitalize on the AI revolution while navigating its complex challenges and opportunities.
