The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele announced the purchase of 410 Bitcoin (BTC) for $15 million in the midst of a day of sharp declines in the cryptocurrency markets, as the flagship cryptocurrency trades below $37,000, last seen during July 2021. “I was wrong, didn’t miss the Bitcoin dip. El Salvador just bought 410 BTC for only 15 million dollars, Some guys are selling really cheap,” Bukele said in a Tweet on Friday. Nope, I was wrong, didn’t miss it. El Salvador just bought 410 #bitcoin for only 15 million dollars 🥳 Some guys are selling really cheap 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/vEUEzp5UdU — Nayib Bukele 🇸🇻 (@nayibbukele) January 21, 2022 With the latest addition, the total Bitcoin holding of El Salvador stands at 1801 BTC, currently valued at about $66 million. A few hours before the announcement, news was also revealed that the government of El Salvador has planned on offering small and medium-sized companies (SME) for $10 million in crypto loans during the first quarter of 2022. Acumen, a Solana-based lending platform, will be financing the initiative of the National Commission for Micro and Small Businesses (CONAMYPE) with an annual interest between 6 percent and 7 percent with a maximum of 10 percent. The platform will use stablecoins like USDC or USDT to Conamype which would then distribute to entrepreneurs through Banco Hipotecario, a government-owned bank. The entrepreneurs would then pay the loan and its interest in the U.S. dollars to the Mortgage Bank, which would then be in charge of paying the debt to Acumen. In September, El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt bitcoin as legal tender despite criticisms from global financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank. After the acceptance of BTC, the country announced tax exemption for foreign investors on BTC profits. The President of El Salvador later pledged to build a tax-free Bitcoin City for certain crypto investors in addition to establishing geothermal bitcoin mining facilities to make the Central American country a global crypto mining hotspot.

The fallout of $2 increases selling pressure in the MATIC coin price. Will the 200-day SMA stand strong or succumb under bearish power? Polygon’s new features are built on the technology that has been proven to increase the capacity to meet the diverse requirements of the developer-based ecosystem. It continues to improve its core technology to ensure that it is able to scale to accommodate a wider ecosystem. Polygon boasts the ability to process up to 65,000 transactions every second in one side chain and a solid block confirmation speed of fewer than 2 seconds. Polygon also permits the creation of global decentralized financial apps using a single blockchain. Let us move ahead to read about Polygon technical analysis. Past Performance of MATIC MATIC coin price action shows a fall of almost 30% in the past week due to the increased selling pressure all over the market. The breakout of the head-and-shoulders pattern, mentioned in our previous article, is below the $2 support. The fallout results in a downfall of almost 15% within 24 hours, resulting in the formation of a bearish engulfing candlestick.  MATIC/USD Daily Chart MATIC Technical Analysis The MATIC coin price shows a rise in bearish trend momentum and selling pressure. It is evident by the pattern breakout and a 20% jump in trading volume. Moreover, the price falls below the $1.70 mark as it heads lower to the $1.5 mark. The falling 20-day SMA breaks below the 50-day SMA as it heads lower to the 100-day SMA to give another bearish crossover. Moreover, the price breaks below all the SMAs except the 200-day line as it struggles to find support near it.  The MACD indicator shows the MACD and signal lines cracking below the zero line in the daily chart. With the increasing trend of falling histograms and increasing gap between the fast and slow lines, the rise in selling pressure is crystal clear.  The Momentum indicator shows a downfall in the slope below the zero line in the daily chart. The slope at -0.72 shows a sudden jump in the underlying bearish momentum. Therefore, the technical indicators suggest a growth in bearish power as the price breaks below the $2 mark. Moreover, the 200-day SMA breakout seems imminent. Upcoming Trend The MATIC coin price action shows growth in underlying selling pressure after the fallout of the rising channel and the support level at $2. The increased bearish trend momentum may shortly break below the 200-day SMA to reach the $.5 or $1.2 mark. However, if the prices find support near the 200-day SMA, the resistance levels are at $2 and $2.15. At press time, the technical Analysis by TradingView gives a “SELL” signal for the MATIC coin.

BENGALURU, INDIA, Jan 22, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Pixis (formerly known as Pyxis One), a leading provider of contextual codeless AI infrastructure for complete marketing optimization, today announced it has secured US $100M in Series C funding. Pixis will leverage the fresh funds to help the company rapidly scale its AI platforms and plugins, as well as accelerate expansions across North America, Europe, and APAC.

The Series C round was led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, with participation from new investor General Atlantic, a leading global growth equity firm. Existing investors Celesta, Premji Invest, and Chiratae Ventures also participated in the round. With the close of its US $17M Series B round just four months prior, Pixis has raised a total of US $124M to date since its inception in 2018.

Founded by Shubham A. Mishra (Global CEO), Vrushali Prasade (CTO), and Harikrishna Valiyath (CBO), the Pixis AI infrastructure leverages self-evolving neural networks to empower over 100 customers worldwide with AI-powered decision-making. Having witnessed a 600% growth since its inception, today, Pixis is uniquely poised to disrupt marketing to make it more agile and data-backed, especially in a world that is speedily heading towards a cookieless web. The SoftBank Vision Fund 2 investment in Pixis confirms that in a cookieless world, Artificial Intelligence could be the big differentiating factor for brands.

Priya Saiprasad, Partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers said, "Marketing is one of the largest spending categories for companies but many of its decisions are still driven by intuition rather than data. Pixis has developed an end-to-end codeless AI infrastructure, that equips teams with cutting-edge data science to automate and improve core processes, from budget allocation to real-time campaign optimization and reporting. We are excited to partner with Shubham and the team to support their mission to make marketing data-backed, intelligent, agile, and effortlessly scalable in the new cookie-less world."

Shubham Mishra continued, "The web going cookieless, in conjunction with decreasing access to the depth of data that was previously available, is a worrisome situation for marketers. In this environment, it is self-evolving neural networks that are proving to be invaluable assets in countering the disruptions to the marketing landscape. We're excited to partner with SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and General Atlantic to make codeless AI infrastructure accessible to every market in the world."

Customers using the Pixis AI infrastructure have witnessed a 20% decrease in acquisition costs on average, in addition to at least 300 hours of manual work saved per month. The alluring factor for customers, however, is definitely the prospect of activating AI in 8 seconds without having to write a single line of code.

"Pixis is on a rapid growth trajectory and the fresh funds will help us far exceed our timelines for that", said Neel Pandya, the company's APAC CEO. "Especially with the introduction of our unique AI plugin, we've recorded enormous growth and retention with our current customer base. The capital will also help us speed up our tech development and bring to market newer products more quickly."

Looking ahead, Pixis aims to add over 200 customizable self-evolving AI models to the infrastructure it offers and has already introduced close to four dozen AI models since its last funding. And now, with the US$100 million Series C funding, Pixis is all set to fast-track tech and AI development.
