Crypto Exchange Coinbase Adds Support for Solana-Based Decentralized GPU Network Altcoin

Coinbase is adding support for one artificial intelligence (AI)-focused altcoin on the Solana (SOL) network.

In a new announcement, the top US crypto exchange says that decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) io.net (IO) is being added to the platform for trading.

Says Coinbase,

“Trading will begin on or after 9 a.m. Pacific Time on October 9th, 2024, if liquidity conditions are met. Once sufficient supply of this asset is established trading on our IO-USD trading pair will launch in phases. Support for IO may be restricted in some supported jurisdictions.”

IO is trading for $1.77 at time of writing, down more than 3% in the last 24 hours. With a current market cap of $168 million, iot.net is the 295th-largest crypto project.

The io.net project aims to harness idle graphics processing units (GPUs) for use by machine learning (ML) and AI projects.

Says the project website,

“We make computing more scalable, accessible and efficient. Our mission is to unlock fair access to computing power by assembling 1 million + GPUs from independent data centers, crypto miners, and crypto projects such as Filecoin or Render. The major cloud providers currently have around 10-15 exaFLOPS of GPU compute capacity available. However, given the surging volume of AI/ML model training and inferencing workloads, the potential demand for GPU compute in the cloud could be as high as 20-25 exaFLOPS.”

On Wednesday, Bitcoin sharply declined, dropping below the crucial $60,000 support level .

Shiba Inu Price on Black Friday 2023

Image
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has become one of the most prominent meme-inspired cryptocurrencies since its launch in August 2020. The developers behind the decentralized token have worked to build an ecosystem of projects for the SHIB community. However, the recent launch of the layer-2 solution Shibarium failed to significantly boost prices amid the ongoing crypto bear market. With Thanksgiving approaching, here is our Shiba Inu price prediction for Black Friday 2023. What is Shiba Inu? A Brief History Shiba Inu is a decentralized cryptocurrency that spawned from a meme-inspired online community. The token’s mascot is a Shiba Inu dog, which led to the name. In mid-2020, an anonymous individual or group known as Ryoshi started working on Shiba Inu as an experimental decentralized community project. Ryoshi intended to take the meme coin concept behind Dogecoin and build an ecosystem around it. Also read: Ben Armstrong Sues Ex-Colleagues Over Alleged Stolen Lamborghini After launching

US Government Delays Tax Reporting Rules for Cryptocurrency Brokers

The enforcement of a requirement for brokers to report gains made by crypto investors has been postponed by the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS. The new tax rules, incorporated into the $1 trillion infrastructure bill passed by the U.S. Congress in 2021, were to be imposed in 2023. Crypto Brokers Told to Comply With Existing Laws Until Final Regulations Are Issued The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are delaying an obligation for digital asset brokers to start tracking and reporting proceeds from customer transactions. The respective provision was introduced with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was signed into law in late 2021, and was scheduled to enter into force on Jan. 1, 2023. The main purpose of the requirement, imposing on the crypto sector the regulations that currently apply to securities brokers, was to increase tax revenues from coin trading by revealing gains from such operations in a 1099 form.
