Strategic Advisory Launch
ARK Invest begins providing strategic advisory services for Eightco's technology portfolio.
With both Bitcoin and Ethereum down 40% year-to-date, Ether’s 3-4% staking rewards offer a compelling alternative to CDs, T-bills, and dividend stocks. Corporate treasury giant Bitmine has already staked most of its 5.54 million ETH, signaling institutional validation of a yield-bearing crypto asset that Bitcoin can’t match.
Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS) has secured $125 million in institutional commitments to accelerate its pivot into next-generation technology sectors. The funding round, led by Bitmine, ARK Invest, and Payward, positions the company to expand its strategic holdings in high-growth entities like OpenAI and Beast Industries.
