Privacy-focused DeFi platform 0xbow completes $3.5 million seed funding round, led by Starbloom Capital

2025.11.19 07:48:22

On November 19th, the privacy-focused decentralized finance (DeFi) platform 0xbow announced on Tuesday that it has successfully completed a seed round of funding amounting to $3.5 million. This funding round was led by Starbloom Capital, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, BOOST VC, Status Research & Development GmbH, and several angel investors. It is reported that 0xbow had previously completed a pre-seed round of funding in 2024, and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was an investor in that round. The funds from this latest round will be utilized to expand its compliance-focused encrypted privacy technology, Privacy Pools. Privacy Pools employ smart contracts to batch process and mix user transactions, thereby obscuring on-chain linkages. At the same time, it enables users to prove their compliance with anti-money laundering and other legal frameworks. Its Associated Service Provider (ASP) system monitors deposits for suspicious activities without freezing user funds. (The Block)

Feb. 26 — Per on-chain data from Coinbob Popular Address Monitoring, the largest ETH long whale (address starting with 0xa5b...) currently holds a 15x leveraged ETH long position, with unrealized gains swelling to $5.26 million (53%). The whale’s current position totals ~70,000 ETH (valued at ~$144 million) with an average entry price of $1,991 — making it the largest long position on the Hyperliquid platform. **Key Historical Moves**: - On Feb. 9, the address opened a ~60,000 ETH long position at an average $2,086, briefly falling underwater post-entry. - On Feb. 14, as ETH surged to ~$2,100, it closed nearly half its stake (~29,000 ETH), locking in $1.31 million in profits.

View: Bitcoin Price Will Not Be Explicitly Suppressed by ETF Approval Participating Institutions, but Price Discovery Mechanism May Be Affected

February 26 — The debate over Bitcoin ETF mechanics, sparked by speculation about Jane Street’s market manipulation, continues to simmer. Bitwise advisor Jeff Park noted the question of whether Bitcoin prices were suppressed by Jane Street isn’t targeting a single institution — it’s rooted in the structural features of Bitcoin ETF architecture. Every Authorized Participant (AP) — including Jane Street Capital, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and others — holds an exemption allowing them to create and redeem ETF shares. This lets them flexibly manage market positions (including hedging via futures or derivatives) without needing to buy actual Bitcoin, which can impact price discovery. The operational gray area stems from regulatory exemptions and SEC approval for physical delivery. While there’s no evidence any AP explicitly suppressed Bitcoin prices, the current structure could distort the natural price discovery mechanism — warranting scrutiny from regulators and investors.
