According to sources, Odaily reports that Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI is in advanced talks to raise $15 billion at a valuation of $230 billion. This valuation represents a significant leap from the $113 billion valuation disclosed when it merged with Musk's social platform X in March of this year.

Sources say that Elon Musk's personal wealth manager, Jared Birchl, disclosed the terms of the funding round to investors Tuesday evening. It is unclear whether the valuation is pre-money or post-money. CNBC reported on xAI's funding plans last week. Following the report, Musk replied "fake" to a user's post about the news on X, sparking speculation. It is reported that after ending his cooperation with the US government, Musk has shifted his main focus to xAI, aiming to make it a core player in the global AI field. (Jinshi)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, crypto entrepreneur Mike Alfred stated in a recent podcast that the US government is unlikely to initiate a strategic reserve of Bitcoin in the short term unless other countries take the lead. He said the US will only include Bitcoin in the strategic reserve framework established this year through executive order when "external pressure is significant enough."

Alfred predicts that by 2033, Bitcoin will reach a price of $1 million, at which point "almost every country will hold Bitcoin directly or indirectly" and regard it as a strategic reserve asset. He believes that the US government was previously reluctant to acknowledge Bitcoin, "but under Trump's impetus, the atmosphere has changed significantly."

Previously, Galaxy Digital analyst Alex Thorn predicted that the United States had a "high probability" of officially announcing its holding of Bitcoin as a strategic asset this year. Meanwhile, several industry insiders warned that if the United States does not act soon, other countries may "preemptively establish their own" positions. (cointelegraph)

According to crypto analyst EmberCN, a whale that used a revolving loan to hoard WBTC and ETH at high prices sold 9,516.8 ETH between yesterday and early this morning, for a total of 29.36 million USDT, at an average price of $3,085. The proceeds were used to repay loans from Aave. Its debt decreased from $150 million to $121 million, and its near-liquidation health rate rose from 1.04 to 1.12, temporarily escaping the high-risk zone.

Odaily Planet Daily reported on November 19th that SuperSuperRare, the RWA card platform within the BNB Chain ecosystem, announced the launch of a points leaderboard system based on card draws. According to the official introduction, the current points mechanism on the SSR platform is calculated based on the FMV (Fair Market Value) of the cards obtained each time a user draws a card. The leaderboard ranking will be determined by the user's card draw record and the number of cards opened.

SuperSuperRare states that its project is an on-chain card-drawing platform combining TCG (Trading Card Game) and RWA (Responsive Virtual Assets). Currently, all Pokémon cards available are physical Pokémon cards certified by the PSA (Publication and Rating Agency). Users can choose from three options: one-click buyback, trading on the NFT marketplace, or redeeming physical cards for offline delivery. SSR currently features an unlimited blind box card-drawing function. Unlike most "black box" card-drawing mechanisms on the market, each draw is determined by a random number and algorithm to fairly select cards of different rarity levels. A verifiable "lucky bag" limited-time card-drawing mechanism based on blockchain will be launched in the future.

According to reports, on November 12, the SuperSuperRare platform will collect the "2021 Japan 25th Anniversary Edition Charizard" foil card selected by users through a lottery. The Mint card will be added to the BNB Chain at block height 67930239, becoming a real asset of the Pokémon card RWA on the platform's ecosystem.
