PANews reported on November 25th that, according to The Block, Unchained columnist Jack Kubinec revealed in his latest report that Brevan Howard's venture capital investment in Berachain was almost "zero risk." Documents released this Monday show that Berachain granted Brevan's crypto investment subsidiary, Nova Digital, a special right—a one-year refund guarantee on its $25 million Series B funding round. This means that although Brevan co-led Berachain's $69 million funding round at a $1.5 billion valuation, it can still recover its entire investment after the token generation event on February 6th. This right is reportedly valid until February 6th, 2026. In its report, Kubinec stated, "These refund clauses completely protect Brevan's principal from risk, a stark contrast to traditional venture capital models. If Berachain's BERA token performs exceptionally well, the fund will generate excess returns; if the token underperforms, the fund can exercise its right to a refund." Currently, the BERA token is trading at approximately $1, a drop of about 67% from Brevan's investment cost of $3. According to The Block data platform, the token's fully diluted valuation is currently $536.7 million. The Series B funding round was led by Framework Ventures, with participation from Arrington Capital, Hack VC, Polychain, and Tribe Capital. Berachain also completed a $42 million Series A funding round in 2023. It is currently unclear whether other investors also have a refund right.PANews reported on November 25th that, according to The Block, Unchained columnist Jack Kubinec revealed in his latest report that Brevan Howard's venture capital investment in Berachain was almost "zero risk."

IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge!

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
