According to PANews, artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is on the verge of completing a $3.5 billion funding round, raising its valuation to $61.5 billion, surpassing its initial fundraising target. Anthropic, recognized as a leading developer of large language models, has garnered significant interest from investors. Earlier this year, Elon Musk's xAI sought $10 billion in funding, while OpenAI is in discussions for up to $40 billion in financing.Sources indicate that Lightspeed Venture Partners initially facilitated Anthropic's efforts to raise $2 billion at the beginning of the year. The funding target was subsequently increased to $3.5 billion due to oversubscription, reflecting strong market interest in the company. Potential investors in this round include Menlo Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, General Catalyst, and Abu Dhabi's MGX.

According to Odaily, on-chain analyst Ali reported on X that data from Glassnode indicates a substantial outflow of Ethereum from exchanges over the past month. A total of 540,000 ETH, valued at approximately $1.84 billion, has been withdrawn from these platforms.

According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his support for engaging with funds, institutions, and nations regarding Ethereum (ETH) as an asset. He emphasized that ETH is a crucial component of the Ethereum ecosystem. However, Buterin noted that the Ethereum Foundation may not be the best entity to lead these efforts. He suggested that supporting various local organizations, including large enterprises, would be more effective due to their deeper understanding of their respective environments.
