Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) came back into the news in 2021, generally falling into two categories: blockchain projects generally centered around the issuance of Ethereum-based tokens, and blockchain-powered crowdfunding ventures for investors. To say that DAOs got off to a rocky start would be something of an understatement.  The original DAO, formed in 2016 under simply that name, lost more than $50 million dollars in Ethereum to hackers within a month of their formation, and for a time it seemed like the organization was just another crypto dead end—a place to lose money.

The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock has filed for the registration of the iShares Blockchain and Tech ETF that will track the investment results of the NYSE FactSet Global Blockchain Technologies Index. According to a Friday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the ETF will track companies involved in ‘(a) cryptocurrency mining, (b) cryptocurrency trading and exchanges, or (c) crypto-mining systems.’ The underlying index is also composed of ‘(i) blockchain technology companies, (ii) cryptocurrency mining, (iii) cryptocurrency trading and exchanges, (iv) crypto-mining systems, and (v) video multimedia semiconductors,’ per the filing. The proposed fund will not invest in crypto directly or indirectly via crypto derivatives but plans to invest at least 80% of its assets in stocks included in the index including 20% in futures, options, swap contracts, cash, and cash equivalents. The filing doesn’t come as a surprise as Salim Ramji, the head of BlackRock’s global ETF initially hinted on a blockchain-themed ETF during a December episode of Bloomberg’s ‘Trillions‘ podcast. At the time, he said that the company would hold its crypto ETFs to its high standards for liquidity and transparency. “As the regulatory environment becomes clearer, and as the underlying liquidity dynamics of that market become more to our satisfaction, that some of those dynamics will work in our favor,” he added. BlackRock’s move into crypto ETF’s already aligns with the company’s indirect investment in Bitcoin (BTC). The company has invested close to $400 million in Bitcoin (BTC) mining stocks throughout 2021. Earlier this month, the asset manager revealed that its Strategic Income Opportunities Fund (BASIX) and its Global Allocation Fund (MDLOX) could invest in cash-settled bitcoin futures traded on commodity exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). BlackRock has nearly 400 iShares ETFs trading in the US, with combined assets under management of roughly $2.4 trillion. The firm’s total asset under management (AUM) stands at about $10 trillion.

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.
