Crypto.com Establishes First Global Innovation Lab in Singapore for AI, Web3 and Blockchain Exploration

June 27 (Cointime) - Crypto.com has announced the establishment of its first Global Innovation Lab in Singapore, which will focus on experimenting with frontier technologies and exploring new use cases for AI, web3, and blockchain. The company will recruit a new team fully dedicated to the lab, with additional roles to be established in the future.

The decision to set up the lab in Singapore was partly driven by the country's status as a global financial hub and its ability to embrace new innovative technologies. The announcement was made during a Point Zero Forum, jointly organised by The Swiss State Secretariat for International Finance and Elevandi, a non-profit organisation set up by Singapore's de facto central bank and chief financial regulation-setter and supervisor, MAS.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.

  • Crypto Industry Disappointed as Digital Assets Fail to Make an Appearance in First 2024 US Presidential Debate

    Despite hopes from industry participants, the topic of crypto was not discussed during the first general debate of the 2024 U.S. presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The debate, hosted by CNN, primarily focused on the economy, with brief mentions of other issues such as abortion, immigration, and foreign policy. While crypto has been a talking point throughout the election cycle, neither candidate made any significant statements about it during the debate. The crypto industry is hoping for a Congress and administration that will pass legislation friendly to digital asset businesses, and is looking to repeat the massive spending on elections from 2022.
