More than $300,000,000 staked Ethereum has been bridged into AO, this can be seen as a vital development to power the economy of the ecosystem and encourage developers to build.

As of the time of writing, there are 94,550 stETH worth about $314.50 million deposited on AO.

Sam Williams, the CEO of Forward Research said this signals developers to build and that “AO opens an entirely new design space for creation, as well as a wide capital base for your services”.

Launched under a mechanism designed to be fair, according to Forward Research, the tokenomics of AO rewards Arweave token holders and encourages liquidity bridging to the AO network through incentives.

The fair launch will distribute 100% of the 21 million AO tokens to the community, 36% will be allocated to AR token holders and 64% to users who bridge assets from other networks to AO. AO is beginning with staked ETH from Ethereum and promises to support Solana later.

“The rest of the tokens are distributed for one simple task which is to grow AO’s economy. Smart contracting networks are digital economies but when there is no money in a digital economy, it does not matter how good the apps and services are, there is no one around to use them,” said Sam Williams, founder of Arweave and Forward Research. He also stated that tokens will be allocated to those who bridge assets from other networks to AO and if there is no money in a network, developers won’t have incentives to build. Therefore, there will not be apps and there will not be users.

“That is why AO’s token economics reward bringing capital to its economy so strongly; simply bridge staked assets from other networks into AO and you will receive a portion of the AO token rewards every single day,” said Williams.

Coinbase has requested that Gary Gensler provide documents related to these communications because they are related to how the SEC's enforcement actions violate the due process requirements of the Constitution, but the SEC and Gary Gensler are trying to prevent the disclosure of these documents.

  • Hong Kong investment in virtual assets will not be subject to capital gains tax

    Hong Kong investors in virtual assets will not be subject to asset value-added tax, which is a very attractive point for global investors. For example, in Japan and Australia, although they have expanded the virtual asset market earlier than Hong Kong, they still need to pay asset value-added tax, which will be included in the comprehensive tax rate calculation. The comprehensive tax rates in Japan and Australia can be as high as 50% and 40% respectively. For investors, investment returns are of course the most important consideration, and Hong Kong's low tax system will attract more international investors to settle in Hong Kong.

For a period of time, some virtual asset-related companies had moved from Hong Kong to Singapore for development, but in the past year, a large number of these companies have returned to Hong Kong, indicating greater confidence in the future development of Hong Kong's virtual asset market. With the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China approaching, the SAR government has successively introduced a series of regulations, such as licensed platform supervision, which greatly enhances the confidence of global investors in Hong Kong's virtual asset market. Therefore, many talents and technology enterprises have returned to Hong Kong for development, and the industry generally believes that Hong Kong's advantages in developing the virtual asset market are becoming more and more apparent.
