Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd. is blending biotech with blockchain.

Summary
  • Enlivex Therapeutics raised $212 million through a private equity deal and is using much of it to build a digital asset treasury via the RAIN token, a decentralized prediction market protocol.
  • The company holds roughly 76 billion RAIN tokens and an option to buy nearly $918 million more at a deep discount, which analysts say could create a major unpriced value driver.
  • Meanwhile, its osteoarthritis therapy Allocetra continues to show promising results in clinical trials. HC Wainwright reaffirmed a Buy rating on Enlivex and raised its 12-month price target to $13, citing both the RAIN token strategy and clinical progress.

The clinical-stage company, known for its osteoarthritis drug Allocetra, last year raised $212 million in a private equity deal and is now deploying a large portion of the proceeds to build a digital asset treasury anchored in prediction markets.

The move centers on the RAIN token, a fully decentralized prediction and options protocol on the Arbitrum network. Enlivex purchased 212 million RAIN tokens at $1 per share, funded in a mix of U.S. dollars and USDT, using them to implement what the company calls its first RAIN token treasury strategy.

The RAIN platform allows anyone to create and trade custom markets, with outcomes resolved via AI and governed by a deflationary buy-and-burn token mechanism.

RAIN undervalued

HC Wainwright & Co.’s Raghuram Selvaraju flagged the token as undervalued, noting that Enlivex’s holdings of roughly 76 billion RAIN tokens—plus an option to buy nearly $918 million more at $0.0033 per token—could create a future value driver currently unpriced by the market.

Since its launch in September 2025, RAIN has seen $1.5 billion in trading volume over 3.5 months, with daily volumes averaging $55 million. Analysts cite precedent projects such as Polymarket and Kalshi, which reached an $11 billion valuation, as evidence of the growth potential in decentralized prediction markets.

Enlivex isn’t leaving its biotech ambitions behind. Allocetra continues to show promising results in osteoarthritis trials, with six-month data demonstrating substantial pain reduction and functional improvement in patients aged 60 and older. Additional studies in basal thumb osteoarthritis are expected to report top-line results in the coming months.

HC Wainwright reiterated a Buy rating on Enlivex, raising its 12-month price target to $13 per share, citing both the potential of the RAIN token treasury and ongoing clinical progress with Allocetra.

Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation?

The post Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. One of the key things I like to track in crypto is a subjective criterion I call “where are new interesting developments and proposals taking place.” There are plenty of dashboards and analytics sites for this, the most popular being the Electric Capital site. The issue is that it still shows Polkadot as having a lot of developers. (At Blockworks we solved the noise problem with active users; maybe we can try the same for active developers.) Because of this noise, I prefer to track two simple observations: What is the velocity of new products launching, and how much mindshare are these products capturing? Are many people getting nerdsniped into discussing the novelties and intricacies of the chain? A related point is the caliber of people being attracted to new ecosystems. For example, over the past few years, Solana (and Ethereum) attracted the majority of talent. Talent generally goes where: It can solve interesting problems or create interesting projects. It can make a lot of money. In a podcast I did with Icebergy about a year ago, we discussed how crypto still wasn’t attracting talent at the levels AI was, despite offering faster exits and more money. AI was (and probably still is) more interesting to most talent and seen as more prestigious. After FTX, crypto lost a lot of credibility and has only recently started recovering as larger institutional players re-entered. Apart from FTX, crypto has also been criticized for being full of low-effort forks and limited utility products. This dynamic isn’t unique to crypto though. Many AI companies are also just building wrappers around GPT, which is as uninteresting as some projects in crypto. Anyway, to the point: Historically, Solana has captured the majority of…
