Urbanic Secures $150 Million Investment to Enhance AI Design Capabilities
Renowned for its ability to blend technology and creativity, London-based fashion company Urbanic has announced the successful close of its Series C fundraising round, receiving an unbelievable $150 million. A number of investors, including the Swiss Mirabaud Lifestyle Impact & Innovation Fund, the public-private hybrid investment firm D1 Capital Partners, the JAM Fund, and others, took part in the fundraising round. The company’s goal is to use its AI technology to revolutionise the fashion industry. The funding proceeds will support this goal by enabling the company to use a proprietary large language model (LLM) that has been trained on a variety of codebases to generate fashion designs, AIGC-based creatives & content, and improve overall supply chain efficiency to the next level.
BlackRock Launches Crypto Fund and Deposits $100 Million on Ethereum
BlackRock placed $100 million in USDC on the Ethereum network, which is a significant move. Specifics on the assets held by the fund remain hidden. Nonetheless, the partnership with Securitize, a renowned entity in asset tokenisation, suggests an emphasis on Real-World Assets (RWA) tokenisation. This process converts tangible assets like real estate into blockchain tokens, increasing their marketability and liquidity.
