Imperial College London has teamed up with AI startup FluidAI to address challenges in the crypto market using artificial intaligance (AI). The collaboration will focus on enhancing the tokenized market for various stakeholders, including institutions and retail investors. FluidAI emphasizes the need to tackle liquidity aggregation issues in the crypto domain. AI can help predict and offer optimal bid and ask prices in the market.

The Snapshot platform has recently showcased a proposal: allocate 1 million FRAX tokens from the treasury and use them to buy CRV tokens. This, according to the initiative's creator, will fortify the community's foothold in DeFi for years to come and enhance liquidity for pairs involving FRAX.

Just hours after XRP's relisting on Gemini, an astonishing pricing anomaly has taken the stage. The XRP price on the platform consistently exceeded $1 and even surged to $50 at one point. This unusual event can likely be attributed to limited liquidity.

The team behind the largest token on the Base blockchain, Bald, has withdrawn a substantial amount of liquidity from LeetSwap, removing 7,000 ETH and 142 million BALD tokens in a significant transaction. The price of BALD has plummeted to as low as $0.015, experiencing a decline of over 84%. In the past few days, BALD had seen a gain of over 30,000%, even without having an official website or active presence on social media.

This platform, crafted to stabilize liquidity pools within the Curve DeFi protocol, has fallen victim to a hacker who made off with 1700 ETH, a haul worth $3.2 million. The culprit leveraged a re-entrancy vulnerability and manipulated a malfunctioning price oracle to achieve this. The Conic Finance team has disclosed that this particular exploit is solely connected to the ETH Omnipool.

The current market landscape marks an unprecedented decline in liquidity, according to Bloomberg Intelligence's senior macro strategist, Mike McGlone. If this pattern holds throughout 2023, he warns of a potential sharp descent in Bitcoin prices, which would ripple through Ethereum, XRP, and the general cryptocurrency domain. “What should be early indications of recessionary times? The best indication should be bitcoin and that’s where I’m looking for the bleeding occasion from bitcoin and it’s still kind of showing what I expected.” “Picture December: Recession looms, Fed hesitates on easing due to inflation,” said McGlone.

Hayden Adams, the founder of Uniswap Labs, has dismissed a developer known by the pseudonym AzFlin following allegations of creating a FrensTech meme coin and then withdrawing liquidity shortly after its launch. Preliminary damages are estimated at 14 wETH, equivalent to approximately $25,830. Adams stressed that the company does not condone such actions and, therefore, felt compelled to respond accordingly. The developer denies the accusations of fraud and describes the situation as FUD. According to him, he only withdrew 1 ETH from the liquidity pool, which he had initially provided from his own funds.

The venture capital fund has reduced its funding for crypto projects from $585 million to $200 million. Moreover, it's halved investments aimed at backing individual investors. "We made these changes to sharpen our focus on seed-stage opportunities and to provide liquidity to our limited partners," commented representatives from Sequoia Capital.
