According to official news, Goblin Finance, an enhanced yield infrastructure platform for the Aptos ecosystem, announced the completion of a $1 million strategic funding round. The round was led by OKX Ventures, Gate Ventures, and BlockBooster, with participation from the Aptos Foundation and ecosystem partner Hyperion. Avery Ching, co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs, participated in the investment in his personal capacity. Goblin Finance aims to build Aptos' native enhanced yield infrastructure through a multi-strategy Yield Hub and yield-enhanced LSTs. The platform constructs a yield flywheel: its goVault generates strategy yields and empowers goAPT stakers → higher yields attract more TVL inflows → the expanded fund size feeds back into and enhances the effectiveness of the vault strategies, thereby continuously generating more yields, forming a closed loop. In the past two months, Goblin Finance's platform TVL has grown fivefold, reaching $13.73 million, and attracted over $3 million in participation during its core vault subscription event in September. The platform currently integrates multiple core protocols, including Hyperion, with over 10 active strategies covering mainstream trading pools such as USDT-USDC, APT-USDC, and USDC-USD1. Goblin Finance stated that this round of financing will be used to continuously improve the Aptos yield infrastructure, expand a diversified CeDeFi strategy suite, accelerate the launch and ecosystem integration of goAPT, promote the formation of a native LST yield loop within the Aptos ecosystem, and build a professional-grade yield network connecting on-chain and cross-markets.

The Shiba Inu cryptocurrency is experiencing a resurgence in activity, sparking renewed interest among investors and enthusiasts alike. This uptick can be attributed to several key factors, including significant movements by cryptocurrency whales—those large holders who have the power to influence market trends. Additionally, the burning of tokens, a process that reduces the overall supply and consequently may increase demand, is playing a crucial role in the current momentum. Furthermore, fresh liquidity being injected into the market is providing the necessary capital that can drive further price appreciation. Together, these elements may very well be the driving forces behind what could become the next substantial upward movement for Shiba Inu. source: https://blocknews.com/shiba-inu-heats-up-again-here-is-why-whale-moves-burns-and-fresh-liquidity-might-be-fueling-the-next-big-push/

Kevin Simback, COO of Delphi Labs, recently publicly questioned the rationale for the privacy blockchain project Octra to launch a new round of financing at a valuation of $200 million. He stated that Octra only completed an early-stage financing round last year with $4 million in Pre-seed, at which time its valuation was approximately $40 million. Now, its valuation has increased more than fivefold in a year, and with only months left until TGE, yet there is "almost no real demand." In response, Octra co-founder Alex stated that he does not know Kevin Simback. He emphasized that the lower valuation of Pre-seed was because the team only had a white paper and initial concept at that time, which was a typical risk premium; while now the project has completed sandbox testing, has complete mathematical documentation, an open-source PoC, and a fully functional network that has been running stably for several months, therefore the valuation increase has a reasonable basis. Previous news: Octra Labs announced a $20 million public token sale at a valuation of $200 million.
