Introduction
Jambo is building a global on-chain mobile network, powered by the JamboPhone — a crypto-native mobile device starting at just $99. Jambo has onboarded millions on-chain, particularly in emerging markets, through earn opportunities, its dApp store, a multi-chain wallet, and more. Jambo’s hardware network, with 700,000+ mobile nodes across 120+ countries, enables the platform to launch new products that achieve instant decentralization and network effects. With this distributed hardware infrastructure, the next phase of Jambo encompasses next-generation DePIN use cases, including satellite connectivity, P2P networking, and more. At the heart of the Jambo economy is the Jambo Token ($J), a utility token that powers rewards, discounts, and payouts.
This is a segment from the Forward Guidance newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe . A new survey weighing industry leader sentiment shows an optimistic outlook for crypto — with a dose of skepticism too. It includes opinions from some 230 executives gathering at the CfC St. Moritz 2025 conference. Among them are the CEOs of Binance and Ripple, chair of the CFTC, and executives at TradFi giants like BlackRock, Fidelity and Franklin Templeton. The biggest opportunities are going to be in the US, 61% of survey respondents agree — followed by the APAC region, then Middle East and Asia. That comes despite America being back of the pack on the favorable jurisdictions list (as legislation sits today), behind the UAE, Singapore, Switzerland, Hong Kong, the EU and the UK. Newsletter Subscribe to Forward Guidance Newsletter Subscribe Developers moving or staying in the US will be a crucial piece to the country’s chance to leapfrog others, an anonymous respondent noted. The person pointed to a year-old report showing 19.6% of developers in Western Europe and 19.2% in North America (the two top spots). The popularity of crypto ETFs in the US also contributes to the bullishness for growth there. To that point, 57% expect such wrappers around the top 20 coins in the not-so-distant future. A refresher on proposed funds in front of the SEC can be found here . Other interesting tidbits: 76% say the global macroeconomic backdrop is either “highly favorable” or “conducive” for the crypto industry’s growth. The most interesting opportunities are in fintech, payments and trading tech ( tokenization /stablecoins is the runner-up). About a third of respondents expect TradFi institutions to take over the crypto space, while roughly another third believe there will be a 50/50 retail-TradFi split. Back to regulations, there’s a big “but” coming — as optimism doesn’t cover all feelings. Roughly 70% believe supervisory scrutiny remains just as intense, or that those risks could even increase. On the task ahead of the new US administration, ex-CFTC Chair J. Christopher Giancarlo is quoted as saying: “It’s one thing to end bad policy, but it’s an entirely different thing to create good policy.” Start your day with top crypto insights from David Canellis and Katherine Ross.

Last updated: January 24, 2025 18:51 EST David Balland, the co-founder of French cryptocurrency hardware wallet company Ledger, was kidnapped alongside his wife in an incident that resulted in severe injuries to one of his hands, according to a Reuters report on Friday . 🚨🇫🇷KIDNAPPED CO-FOUNDER OF FRENCH CRYPTO FIRM HAD HAND MUTILATED DURING RANSOM ORDEAL David Balland, co-founder of French crypto firm Ledger, was kidnapped along with his wife and subjected to horrific violence, including mutilation of his hand, as kidnappers demanded ransom in… pic.twitter.com/D76KROHNQw — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) January 24, 2025 The couple was abducted from their home in central France on January 21, marking the beginning of a harrowing 48-hour ordeal. Details have surfaced following Balland’s release earlier this week , revealing that the couple was held captive at separate locations. According to Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau, the kidnappers demanded and partially received a cryptocurrency ransom. Dramatic Police Rescue Operation The rescue operation, led by over 90 officers from GIGN, France’s elite tactical police force, successfully freed Balland on January 22. His wife was discovered unharmed the following day, tied up in a vehicle in the Essonne region. Balland sustained injuries to his hand during the ordeal, though the prosecutor did not specify the extent. He is currently receiving medical treatment while authorities continue their investigation. Ten individuals are being questioned in connection with what officials describe as a targeted crime. Balland, who has not worked at Ledger since 2021, was released after intense efforts by law enforcement. Ledger CEO Breaks Silence, Comments on Kidnapping Although Balland no longer has ties to Ledger, the company’s CEO, Pascal Gauthier, commented on the kidnapping , expressing relief over the couple’s safety. 🇫🇷 Nous sommes profondément soulagés d’apprendre la libération de David et sa femme et de les savoir sains et saufs. J’ai pris contact avec David, et nos pensées vont avec lui et sa famille. Nous partageons aussi l’émotion des membres de notre équipe, et en particulier de celles… — Pascal Gauthier @Ledger (@_pgauthier) January 23, 2025 “We are deeply relieved that David and his wife have been released and are now safe,” Gauthier stated. “We respected law enforcement requests around safeguarding critical details of the ongoing investigation and appreciated members of the press who did the same,” he added.
This is a segment from the Empire newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe . “We’re just trying to be the onchain Apple.” Now that’s a banger of a quote. James Zhang, founder of Jambo, said it to Empire host Santiago Santos in a bonus Empire episode last week . Jambo, for those of you who may not be aware, is an onchain mobile network. We’ll get more into it in a bit, but Zhang’s points about really looking to give folks access to the digital economy stood out to me. Right now, Jambo’s biggest user base is in Latin America. Zhang originally thought the biggest user base would perhaps be Africa, but that hasn’t been the case…yet. As Santos noted, “the next JPMorgan doesn’t look like JPMorgan. It looks like an MVNO with fintech services layered on top.” Newsletter Subscribe to Empire Newsletter Subscribe People should be able to digitally access all the integrations without ever having to go into, say, a bank branch. For Jambo, that means not only reaching a user base, but ensuring those users are as loyal as I am to Apple. And that’s where crypto comes in. And now you know. Check out the bonus Jambo episode of Empire above I had a chance to chat with Zhang earlier this week, and I was curious how he’d classify Jambo. Is it a DePIN? Is it more? What can I say, I’m paid to be nosey. First let’s start with the basics. Jambo’s been around for a while, having last raised capital from a number of big VCs back in 2022. The round was led by both Pantera and Paradigm, if you want to be specific. Zhang’s the first one to admit that it was a totally different market when they last raised compared to now, and the team’s been hustling. Even back in 2022, the reception for Jambo was “great,” Zhang noted. There’s an appetite to disrupt the Latin American and African phone markets with a device that is “censorship resistant.” But after the 2022 raise, Jambo and Zhang had to go into “cockroach mode” to survive the bear. And now, well, we’re here, on the other side. Zhang wouldn’t turn down the opportunity to raise again, he admitted, especially because he finds this market trickier than a bear market. “The reason is because in the bear market, we had already raised funding. We had already built our team, and [then] it was just shipping product. And honestly, there weren’t as many … you could say distractions, and … macro is distractions. But when one memecoin gets launched and sucks 90% of liquidity, it’s a little tough on the rest of the market or any narrative, so for us, we just honestly want to see more stability going into a token launch,” he told me. Zhang said that they’ve never specifically branded as a DePIN though Jambo clearly has elements of that, given that it offers both hardware and networks. “If you take our entire network together, it becomes one of the largest DePIN networks that users can tap into,” he said. He’d prefer if you think of them as a consumer-facing product, given that it’s their specialty. Outside of the hardware offerings, they also launched a satellite program earlier this week to “connect all 700,000-plus devices,” he said. Maybe Zhang’s really not that far off when he says he wants to be the onchain Apple. Start your day with top crypto insights from David Canellis and Katherine Ross.

Key Takeaways Spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $100 billion in assets, signaling growing institutional interest. Wisconsin’s pension fund became the first State-level institution to publicly invest in Bitcoin ETFs. SEC filings show varying levels of institutional investment in Bitcoin ETFs. Experts anticipate further institutional investment, potentially boosting Bitcoin’s demand and price. The approval of spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) marked a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency industry. It heralded a new era of institutional investment, elevated Bitcoin to a recognized financial asset, and opened avenues for professional investors, hedge funds, family offices and institutions to engage with Bitcoin investments. A look at some major firms’ 13F filings, which are reports that provide a detailed account of long positions in publicly traded securities at the end of each quarter, has revealed how much crypto exposure there is at an institutional level.

Ⅰ.Project introduction Jambo is committed to providing users with convenient access to Web3 through innovative products and in-depth Emerging Markets layout. Its core product, JamboPhone, is positioned as a crypto-native smartphone, with a low price ($99) as the main attraction, aiming to provide Emerging Markets users (especially in Africa, South East Asia and Latin America) with a simple and efficient tool to enter the crypto world. The built-in multi-chain wallet and decentralized application (dApp) function of the mobile phone allow users to access the Web3 ecosystem without cumbersome configuration or expensive hardware for cryptocurrency trading, digital asset management. As of now, JamboPhone has sold more than 500,000 units, and its app has been downloaded 500,000 times on Google Play. Jambo's traffic and influence is particularly significant in Africa, especially in countries such as Egypt, Nigeria, and Kenya, where it has been downloaded 154,000, 125,000, and 107,000 times in the past year, respectively. Jambo's active level on social media is also not to be underestimated. Twitter has accumulated more than 340,000 fans, and the number of views per tweet is usually between 50,000 and 300,000, laying a solid foundation for future expansion and branding. James, the founder of Jambo, was originally from Zhejiang, China and later moved to Africa. At a young age, he was deeply aware of the huge gap in Emerging Markets' financial and digital technology fields. James studied computer science at New York University and has amassed extensive experience and contacts in the crypto industry. He co-founded Jambo with his sister Alice, dedicated to improving the financial environment of Emerging Markets through technology. Since its establishment, Jambo has attracted the attention of top investment institutions. The project has completed a seed round financing of 7.50 million dollars and a series of financing of 30 million dollars. Investors include Paradigm, Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital and other well-known institutions. II. Project highlights 1, hardware innovation, simplify Web3 access Integrating crypto wallets and decentralized applications into a $99 phone helps Emerging Markets users easily enter the Web3 world. It supports multi-chain wallets, allowing users to easily manage a variety of crypto assets, and the built-in DApp Store allows users to directly use various decentralized applications, providing a simple and efficient way to access. 2. Strong market growth and user base Remarkable results have been achieved in the African market, with sales exceeding 500,000 units, and its Jambo App has been downloaded more than 500,000 times on Google Play. Particularly in countries such as Egypt, Nigeria and Kenya, user growth is very strong, showing Jambo's wide acceptance in these markets and growing client base. 3. Strong financing and industry recognition Successfully attracted capital injection from top investment institutions such as Paradigm, Coinbase Ventures, and Pantera Capital, with a total financing amount of 37.50 million US dollars. The participation of these well-known investors not only provided Jambo with the necessary financial support, but also increased its industry credibility. 4. Expand the global market and make steady progress In addition to its success in Africa, Jambo's expansion into other Emerging Markets has been impressive, particularly in Latin America and South East Asia. JamboPhone's continued growth in downloads in Argentina, the Philippines and elsewhere shows the potential for demand in these regions. Jambo's success lies not only in the attractiveness of its products, but also in its ability to adapt to the needs of different markets. III. Market capitalization expectations Jambo's total supply of governance tokens $J is 1 billion, of which 10% (or 100 million) will be released at TGE. At present, the unit price and market cap of the tokens have not been disclosed. With reference to benchmarking projects such as Peaq ($PEAQ), Helium ($HNT), and Nodepay ($NC), Jambo has demonstrated its growth potential in the global market through its encrypted native smartphone JamboPhone and Web3 solution designed for Emerging Markets. IV. Economic model J Total supply: 1 billion TGE (initial coin publishing) release ratio: 10% of the total supply (100 million) will be released at TGE The token distribution is as follows: Early Contributors: 30% Total: 300,000,000 pieces, TGE unlocked, 10% unlocked after 1 quarter, and the rest unlocked linearly on a quarterly basis. Community: 15% Total: 150 million pieces, TGE unlocked, 10% unlocked after 1 quarter, and the rest unlocked linearly on a quarterly basis. - Airdrop: 10% Total: 100,000,000 pieces, TGE releases 10%, and the rest is unlocked linearly on a quarterly basis. - Team: 15% Total: 150 million pieces, TGE unlocked, linearly unlocked within 12 quarters. - Liquidity Providers & Exchanges: 3% Total: 30,000,000 pieces, TGE releases 10%, and the rest is unlocked linearly on a quarterly basis. - Treasury: 27% Total: 270,000,000 pieces, TGE unlocked, linearly unlocked within 24 quarters. The token utility is as follows: 1. JamboPhone in-app payment: Users can use Jambo Token to purchase digital goods in JamboPhone's DApp store, further enhancing the product experience. 2. Community rewards: Users can get Jambo Token as a reward by completing Jambo Earn application tasks on JamboPhone (such as experiencing partner applications and submitting proofs), participating in community activities, or providing valuable feedback to the community. These reward mechanisms effectively attract customer engagement ecological construction, increase product usage frequency and user stickiness. 3. Discounts and payments: Jambo Token can make consumer payments in the JamboPhone app and offline merchants that partner with Jambo, and provide holders with consumer discounts. Not only does it increase users' dependence on the ecosystem, but also promotes the circulation of tokens in the market. V. Team & financing Team information: James, the co-founder and CEO of Jambo, was born in Zhejiang, China and now resides in Africa. At the age of 17, he went to New York University to study computer science, and then entered the encryption industry, accumulating rich investment experience and connections. James' sister Alice graduated from Columbia University and played a key role in Jambo's financing and operation with her outstanding financial and business abilities. The Jambo team has diverse backgrounds and members who are well-versed in the local business environment and culture, and can efficiently establish cooperative relationships with local institutions and individuals to promote the steady progress of projects. James spent his childhood in the Democratic Republic of Congo, experiencing firsthand the economic difficulties and lack of Financial Services in the region. These experiences gave him a deep understanding of the huge demand for Emerging Markets in the financial sector and inspired him to found Jambo. In terms of financing: February 21, 2022: Completed $7.50 million seed round financing, with investors including Coinbase Ventures, Tiger Global, DeFiance Capital, etc. May 10, 2022: Completed $30 million Series A financing, with investors including Paradigm, Pantera Capital, Delphi Digital, Coinbase Ventures, etc. Ⅵ.Warning of latent risk 1. Although JamboPhone's core competitiveness is low price, other smartphone manufacturers in the global market are also developing crypto-native hardware products, especially by expanding cryptocurrency capabilities through Android devices and decentralized application ecosystems. This may affect JamboPhone's market share, especially in the face of competitor price and feature optimization. 2. Even though JamboPhone provides a convenient blockchain entry point for Emerging Markets, most users in these regions still have limited understanding of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and decentralized applications. Therefore, Jambo may face problems such as high education costs and low acceptance in the promotion process. VII.

The Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin has surged over 12% in the past 24 hours, climbing back above the $42 mark, according to The Block's Price Page . Analysts suggest investors don’t need to worry about a supply shock for the next three months, despite criticism of its "poor tokenomics." Launched less than 72 hours before his inauguration, the Official Trump memecoin quickly soared to a $14.5 billion market cap, before pulling back to a current value of $8.4 billion. "Official Trump tokenomics are poor, but with no unlocks for 3 months, there is a decent stretch without worry of new supply," K33 Research DeFi analyst David Zimmerman said in a report on Wednesday. Currently, 20% of the Official Trump supply is in circulation. Half of this circulating supply was allocated for liquidity, while the other half was offered to the public. The remaining 80% is locked and will be released gradually over a 36-month period. These locked tokens are divided among six entities, labeled “Creators and CIC Digital 1-6.” Each group faces a lock-up period ranging from 3 to 12 months, after which an initial unlock cliff of 10% or 25% will be followed by daily unlocks over two years. The first unlock, affecting the "Creators" and "CIC Digital 1," is scheduled for three months from now. Zimmerman noted that such tokenomic structures are outdated for memecoins , as the market increasingly favors projects with fully circulating supply at launch. “There’s no sugar-coating this—these tokenomics are horrendous for a memecoin,” he added. According to the K33 Research report, Trump has an established licensing deal with CIC Digital and CIC Ventures, two firms owned by The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. "It is not clear exactly who the 'Creators' are, but Trump will have a significant financial interest in the memecoin through CIC Digital," Zimmerman said. Melania Meme struggles to regain momentum Riding on Official Trump’s momentum, the U.S. First Lady launched her own memecoin, Melania Meme (MELANIA), on Sunday. Within 12 hours, Melania Meme skyrocketed in value 250 times, reaching a market cap of over $2 billion. Similar to Official Trump, the tokenomics include substantial allocations for the “team,” “treasury,” and “community." However, Melania Meme offers a more aggressive unlock schedule, with an initial lock-up of just 30 days, followed by a 10% team unlock and linear vesting over 12 months. Melania Meme has declined by over 9% in the past 24 hours, now priced at $4.00, according to The Block's Price Page .

The Ethereum Foundation is implementing a significant leadership overhaul aimed at addressing community concerns and enhancing operational efficiency. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced the changes on January 18, 2025, noting that the restructuring has been in progress for nearly a year. This initiative seeks to fill gaps in technical expertise and streamline the foundation's operations. Buterin emphasised the importance of collaboration with various ecosystem participants, including developers and users. The foundation's new priorities will include promoting decentralisation, privacy, and open-source principles while developing a robust app layer resistant to censorship. Additionally, the Ethereum Foundation plans to adopt decentralised technologies for internal processes like payments and treasury management. In recent months, the foundation faced scrutiny over its spending and operational strategies, prompting these leadership reforms to restore trust within the community. Buterin reiterated that the foundation would maintain its neutrality and refrain from engaging in political lobbying. “[Ethereum Foundation will not] start aggressively lobbying regulators and powerful political figures (esp in USA, but really anywhere, especially large powerful countries), and risking compromising Ethereum’s position as a global neutral platform,” he stated. Furthermore, Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) co-founder Joseph Lubin proposed a dual-leadership model featuring Danny Ryan and Jérôme de Tychey to balance technical and business strategies. Lubin highlighted their capabilities to navigate the evolving blockchain landscape while preserving Ethereum's core values. “I believe that having Jerome and Danny partner to lead the EF would be a massive injection of energy, talent, outside the box thinking, creativity in marketing and drive,” he remarked. These reforms are viewed as essential steps toward strengthening the Ethereum ecosystem's future, with expectations of improved communication and support for developers. At the time of reporting, the Ethereum (ETH) price was $3,249.89.
The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing a significant leadership transformation, according to co-founder Vitalik Buterin. This restructuring has been in progress for almost a year. It aims to enhance the foundation’s efficiency and align it more closely with the Ethereum community’s evolving needs. Ethereum Foundation Leadership Restructure On January 18, Buterin shared on X that the leadership changes aim to address gaps in technical expertise. The updates are also intended to streamline operations within the Ethereum Foundation. He added that the foundation seeks to improve collaboration with key ecosystem participants such as developers, wallets, Layer-2 networks, and individual users. The foundation’s priorities will also focus on promoting decentralization, privacy, and open-source principles. It will also advance its role in developing a robust, censorship-resistant app layer. Additionally, the foundation plans to expand its use of decentralized technologies for internal processes, such as payments and treasury management. Over the past year, the Ethereum Foundation has faced increased scrutiny over its passivity and concerns among community members about its spending and operational priorities. So, its current efforts aim to strengthen the foundation’s ties within the Ethereum ecosystem and rebuild trust. Nevertheless, Buterin emphasized that the foundation will not engage in political lobbying or favor specific interests, maintaining its commitment to neutrality. Instead, it will focus on supporting the ecosystem’s growth by empowering developers and encouraging innovation. “[Ethereum Foundation will not] start aggressively lobbying regulators and powerful political figures (esp in USA, but really anywhere, especially large powerful countries), and risking compromising Ethereum’s position as a global neutral platform,” Buterin stated. Dual-Leadership Approach to Ethereum Foundation Meanwhile, Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin proposed a dual-leadership approach to guide the foundation into its next phase. He recommended Ethereum developer Danny Ryan and Ethereum France President Jérôme de Tychey as potential leaders to balance technical and business-focused strategies. Lubin highlighted their ability to navigate the complexities of a rapidly evolving blockchain landscape while preserving Ethereum’s core values. “I believe that having Jerome and Danny partner to lead the EF would be a massive injection of energy, talent, outside the box thinking, creativity in marketing and drive — exactly what the Ethereum community needs today to show up for the world as the premiere, most diversely capable and most trusted blockchain ecosystem,” Lubin stated. Lubin shared his thoughts on Ethereum’s role in the decentralized ecosystem. He suggested the blockchain should follow Switzerland’s example by maintaining neutrality. At the same time, Ethereum should actively promote its core values and technological advancements. He explained that Switzerland fosters international relationships and promotes its philosophy while maintaining neutrality. Similarly, Ethereum can adopt this approach within the blockchain space. “A somewhat credibly neutral nation state like Switzerland engages in vigorous activity to ensure that its APIs are well known and well utilized. It promotes its business and political philosophy and maintains active ambassadorial ties will all of its important peers and clients. Ethereum must Fight Fight Fight! for the future that we all need to create,” Lubin concluded.
Ethereum Foundation leadership restructuring underway. Focus on privacy, decentralization and support for dApp developers. Vitalik Buterin rejects centralization and aggressive political lobbying. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has revealed on social media that the Ethereum Foundation is undergoing significant changes to its leadership structure. This process, which began almost a year ago, aims to improve efficiency and communication within the Ethereum ecosystem, better serving the needs of developers and users. We are indeed currently in the process of major changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress. What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following… - vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) January 18, 2025 The transformations aim, among other objectives, to increase the level of technical expertise in the foundation's leadership, strengthen ties between the organization's leaders and the various participants in the ecosystem, such as application developers and institutional users. In addition, there is an effort to attract new talent, accelerate project execution and expand support for decentralized application (dApp) developers. At the time of publication, the price of Ethereum was quoted at $3.322,45 with a drop of 4.6% in the last 24 hours. Another crucial focus is ensuring that fundamental rights such as privacy, open source code, and censorship resistance continue to be respected at the user level. The foundation also plans to expand the use of decentralized and privacy-focused technologies, further leveraging the Ethereum blockchain for payments and fund management. However, Buterin was emphatic that the foundation does not intend to adopt centralized practices or act as a key player in the Ethereum ecosystem. He also rejected the idea of the foundation engaging in aggressive lobbying with regulators or politicians, something that could compromise the platform’s global neutrality. “Those seeking a different vision are welcome to start their own organizations,” Buterin wrote in a blog post. Meanwhile, Buterin’s statement comes amid ongoing discussions in the Ethereum community, including criticism of the foundation’s performance and suggestions for new leadership. Joseph Lubin, another Ethereum co-founder, proposed replacements for the foundation’s current executive director, Aya Miyaguchi. He suggested names such as Danny Ryan, a former researcher at the foundation, and Jérôme de Tychey, president of Ethereum France, highlighting the need for renewed energy and innovative thinking to address the industry’s current challenges. By gradually implementing these changes, the Ethereum Foundation aims to further align itself with the core values of blockchain, fostering a decentralized, secure, and open environment for all ecosystem participants.

Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange , has partnered with Jambo to support a telecom satellite launch aimed at enhancing decentralized access in emerging markets. Jambo plans to raise $5 million through a token sale on Bitget’s LaunchX platform to expand its blockchain ecosystem and facilitate this project. This collaboration is expected to increase Bitget’s visibility while allowing Jambo to integrate its blockchain communication hardware. Jambo, launched in 2022 and referred to as “the WeChat of Africa,” previously introduced a blockchain-based phone with Aptos and is now pursuing this satellite initiative. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen emphasized the alignment of both companies’ visions, stating that Jambo’s goal of connecting the world through blockchain complements Bitget’s mission to support transformative projects. By backing Jambo’s satellite program, Bitget aims to bridge the digital divide and enhance Web3 potential in underserved areas. Jambo’s native token, ‘J,’ will be crucial for its DeFi ecosystem and is set to launch via Bitget ‘s LaunchX. CEO James Zhang noted that the satellite launch would help integrate Jambo’s hardware, creating new opportunities for its ecosystem. This initiative could also boost Bitget’s profile. Despite the BGB token reaching an all-time high in December, it faced corrections, prompting the company to burn 800 million tokens to stabilize its value. A high-profile project like the satellite launch could generate positive attention for Bitget. Additionally, Bitget is looking to expand globally, using Lithuania as a hub for MiCA compliance in the EU, which may increase demand for the BGB token. However, Jambo’s satellite launch may require more than the planned $5 million, as costs typically exceed $10 million. The collaboration signifies a major step toward innovation in blockchain communication and services in emerging markets.
Bitget has announced a strategic partnership with Jambo, a blockchain-based mobile network, to support an ambitious satellite launch aimed at enhancing decentralised access in emerging markets. Jambo is seeking to raise $5 million through a token sale on Bitget's LaunchX platform, which will fund this initiative and facilitate the expansion of its blockchain ecosystem. The partnership is designed to promote Jambo's vision of connecting users globally through innovative blockchain technology. James Zhang, CEO of Jambo, highlighted the significance of the satellite launch, stating that it will vertically integrate their communication hardware, thereby creating new opportunities within their ecosystem. This integration is expected to enhance the delivery of decentralised services in regions where traditional telecommunications infrastructure is lacking. “Jambo’s vision of connecting the world through blockchain and mobile innovation aligns perfectly with our plan to support transformative projects,” remarked Bitget's CEO, Gracy Chen, expressing enthusiasm for the collaboration. However, while Jambo aims to raise $5 million, launching a satellite typically incurs costs exceeding $10 million. This discrepancy raises questions about Jambo's funding strategy and whether additional financial resources will be needed to achieve their goals. The partnership also presents an opportunity for Bitget to enhance its visibility in the market. Following recent fluctuations in its BGB (CRYPTO:BGB) token value, this high-profile initiative could help stabilise and boost investor confidence.
