PANews reported on November 27th that, according to Cryptopolitan, blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps accused Edel Finance of snapping up 30% of the token supply ($11 million) during its token offering earlier this month. Their report shows that approximately 160 linked wallets coordinated funding through Binance and MEXC, completing the purchase through a multi-layered new wallet structure before trading began. Half of the tokens were transferred to 100 secondary wallets linked to MEXC. These wallets employed a uniform obfuscation strategy, and the secondary wallet addresses were explicitly included in the contract code, proving they were deliberately hidden. Furthermore, Edel failed to disclose this operation on Telegram, Twitter, or in official documents, raising concerns about transparency. Edel co-founder James Sherborne responded that the team plans to acquire 60% of the token supply and then lock it in a token vesting contract. However, Bubblemaps countered that their token economics only allows the team to acquire 12.7% of the tokens through a 36-month vesting plan (including a 6-month lock-up period). Bubblemaps argues that if Edel were sincere, it should allocate the tokens in advance according to token economics rather than using a hidden strategy, questioning the rationale behind their operation. It is understood that Edel Finance aims to bring traditional stocks to on-chain lending, and the team includes former employees of State Street Bank and JPMorgan Chase.PANews reported on November 27th that, according to Cryptopolitan, blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps accused Edel Finance of snapping up 30% of the token supply ($11 million) during its token offering earlier this month.

Edel Finance's affiliated wallet has been accused of "buying up" 30% of the token supply, and its co-founder has denied the allegations.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
