​​🚀 Zoom announced new AI capabilities 🚀

Zoom has updated AI Companion and introduced Zoom Workplace. Both services use AI to simplify interactions with coworkers. 💼

AI Companion is able to summarize meetings and prioritize tasks. The functionality is available via voice queries. 🗣️

At the heart of Workplace is a new open platform for combining Zoom with AI models. It features technologies to improve productivity and optimize workflow. 🔄

The Ask AI Companion feature allows you to interact with an AI assistant across all Zoom applications. The assistant is able to gather information, create summaries, prepare for meetings, and retrieve data from integrated third-party tools. In addition to summarizing meetings, the AI will display discussion-related emails, chats, and documents. 💬

The main purpose of the innovation is to allow users to focus on the conversation rather than recording and transcribing it. 🎯

Another AI service was the generation of flowcharts and mindmaps in Zoom Whiteboard. The service helps summarize meetings, highlight active speakers, and add virtual backgrounds using Prompts. 📊

In addition to AI assistants, Zoom Workplace will provide access to new customizations. The revamped Meetings tab anchors the day's topics, notes, files, and chat. The Multi-share feature allows multiple participants to simultaneously broadcast their screens. 🔄

Zoom Revenue Accelerator adds neural network-generated deal memos and scoring for sales conversations. 💰

The new products are scheduled to launch in April and May 2024. Some will only be available regionally. 📅

​​📈 The volume of investments in crypto startups grew by 38% 💰

Venture capital investment in the crypto industry reached $2 billion in Q1 2024. The figure broke a two-year downtrend, Crypto Koryo noted.

💡 Analysts recorded a 38% increase in investments compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The number of transactions increased by 49% to 250. ⬆️

Although the investment volume figure is seven times that of ATH, the start of the uptrend resembles the situation at the end of 2020 before the parabolic growth of the entire market, experts emphasized.

👀 They highlighted a number of features of the reporting period: 📊

For the first time, Series A investments surpassed the rate of pre-seed rounds;
the number of deals in the first named category nearly doubled;
unlike previous quarters, which were dominated by banks and non-cryptocurrency venture capitalists, industry-focused firms led by a16z took the lead.

👉🏻 On a network-by-network basis, the Ethereum ecosystem retained the lead in terms of the number of transactions. However, the blockchain indicator was sharply approached by Solana. According to experts, this was the result of the boom of meme tokens in the network. They called the presale of assets the actual return of ICOs. 🏛

Recall, at the end of 2023, investments in blockchain startups amounted to $10.7 billion - 68% less than a year earlier.

​​🌟 Uniswap Labs increased the swap fee for transactions via the interface 🖥

Uniswap Labs has increased the commission for token swaps using the DEX interface from 0.15% to 0.25%. Stablecoin and wrapped token transactions were not affected by the change, The Block writes.

👩🏻‍💻 Users can avoid fees by using an alternative interface to access Uniswap. 📊

On February 23, 2024, a DEX-affiliated nonprofit published a proposal to distribute protocol fees to UNI holders. On March 7, the initiative passed a "sentiment check" with 100% support.

🦾 The proposal would allocate rewards to token holders who blocked tokenization in staking or delegated their voting rights. This is how the Uniswap Foundation may have responded to criticism of the lack of "utility" of the asset from the community. 💬

The increase in fees charged from 0.15% to 0.25% occurred on April 10, according to blockchain data.

Stablecoin capitalization hits two-year high 💰

On April 19, the total market value of U.S. dollar-linked stablecoins rose to $165.2 billion, which was last seen in June 2022.

The highest value in history is $179.4 billion (April 2022).

One driver of the rise was interest in Ethena Labs' “synthetic dollar” USDe, launched in December 2023, which has reached ~$2.37 billion in capitalization 💼

💲 The leader, USDT, accounts for ~70% of the total market value in the segment.

In August, Bernstein analysts predicted that the capitalization of stablecoins will grow to $2.8 trillion over the next five years 🚀
