A venture capital firm run by music manager Guy Oseary, Madonna’s manager, has a $7 billion stake in Anthropic, according to Bloomberg. In 2023, Anthropic PBC CEO Dario Amodei met with actor-turned-venture capitalist Ashton Kutcher and Oseary at Oseary’s Beverly Hills home. They discussed AI safety and the global race to build better artificial intelligence models.

According to ChainCatcher, Sound Ventures invested $435 million in Anthropic for an approximately 0.5% stake. Based on a planned IPO valuation of $1.4 trillion, the stake would be worth about $7 billion, an increase of approximately 1,500%. Kutcher moved forward with the investment after receiving permission from OpenAI CEO Altman.

Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) said no one knows for sure why crypto prices are falling and that correlation does not prove causation, before setting out possible explanations in a post on X. He noted bitcoin hit a low of $62,006 on Sunday, a level he said was worth recording for future reference. He pointed first to money shifting into the Anthropic IPO. He also cited ETF outflows, noting U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw about $1.9 billion of redemptions across seven trading sessions through Nov. 13, with ether funds recording withdrawals as well. Security fears were another factor. CZ listed the Binance hack, iPhone-linked crypto wallets being drained, a Chrome exploit and Microsoft being down, saying such incidents may make some people less willing to keep funds in crypto. Hot U.S. inflation has raised expectations of another Fed rate hike, and he noted that higher yields and a stronger dollar can weigh on riskier assets such as crypto. Political uncertainty from the midterm results has also fuelled concern about potentially stricter U.S. crypto policy. CZ rejected one explanation outright, saying Binance did not sell crypto. He added that he had bought crypto in the past few days after receiving stablecoins, joking that this might be the cause. He said crypto will keep growing over the medium to long term, adding that the views were his own and not financial advice.

Transactions incur a 5% service fee, and all winnings are paid in U.S. dollars rather than cryptocurrency.

According to ChainCatcher citing The Defiant, DeFi lending protocol Spark’s total value locked fell 15.3% over the past week to a 30-day low, with assets valued at $5.7 billion, according to DefiLlama data.

The core driver supporting this rally is the continued rise in expectations for AI-related investments, and once these expectations peak, the dollar will also face the same inflection point.
