OpenAI says it will keep working with Scale AI even after Meta Platforms Inc. made its multibillion-dollar investment in the data-labeling firm. At the VivaTech conference in Paris on Friday, OpenAI’s chief financial officer, Sarah Friar, stressed the importance of keeping a wide range of partners. As mentioned in a Bloomberg report , she warned that shutting competitors out could slow down progress across the industry. “We don’t want to ice the ecosystem because acquisitions are going to happen,” Friar said. “If we ice each other out, I think we’re actually going to slow the pace of innovation.” OpenAI is the first of Scale AI’s major clients to speak up since Meta announced the deal on Thursday. Under the agreement, Meta will take a 49% stake in Scale, valuing the startup at more than $29 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. Scale AI was set up in 2016 to supply cleaned and organized data that helps train artificial-intelligence systems. The company also creates custom AI tools for corporate and government customers. Proceeds from the new investment, Scale AI says, will go to its shareholders, speed up its research and development, and bolster service for existing clients. Meta will remain a minority owner of Scale’s shares. For Meta, this is one of its biggest outside investments. The move underscores the company’s effort to shore up its AI work after delays on a key new model. The Wall Street Journal had reported earlier that Meta aimed to invest about $14 billion for a nearly half-stake in Scale AI. According to Scale, the partnership will widen their commercial ties and help roll out Scale’s data solutions more quickly. A Meta spokesperson added, “We will deepen the work we do together producing data for AI models, and Alexandr Wang will join Meta to work on our superintelligence efforts. We will share more about this effort and the great people joining this team in the coming weeks.” Despite moving to Meta, Scale’s founder, Alexandr Wang, will stay on the startup’s board. Jason Droege, who became Scale’s chief strategy officer in September, will serve as interim CEO. Based in San Francisco and now nine years old, Scale AI employs over 100,000 independent contractors worldwide. These workers tag images, craft sentences, and type out entire passages. Their efforts teach AI programs how to recognize objects, form thoughts, and generate human-like text. Scale AI counts OpenAI, Google, and Meta among its clients. It has also started offering software that lets businesses build their own AI tools, though that remains a smaller slice of its work. Before joining Scale, Jason Droege was a venture partner at Benchmark, an early-stage investment firm, and he co-founded Uber Eats, the ride-hailing giant’s food-delivery service.

The bankruptcy estate of FTX and Alameda Research has unstaked 188,000 staked Solana tokens worth $31.5 million. Onchain analyst Ember_CN noted that the funds were moved to 30 addresses after the unstaking. The redemption continues the trend of monthly unstaking of SOL by the defunct exchange dating back to November 2023. Each unlock has happened without fail every tenth day of the month and could continue for a while given the amount of SOL that the exchange still has. According to Ember_CN , the FTX staking address has redeemed 8.407 million SOL tokens since it started in 2023. All the tokens are transferred to various addresses, followed by sales on centralized exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase. Overall, the FTX estate has sold $1.094 billion worth of SOL through this method, with the average transfer price being $130. However, the exchange still has around 5.046 million SOL staked worth $726 million at current prices. Interestingly, the recent redemption and potential sell-off coincides with a massive drop in SOL value, with the token dropping more than 8% over the last 24 hours. Its slump during that period saw it fall from around $160 to $141.43, but it has now recovered to around $146. SOL decline is due to a broader market crash likely caused by geopolitical tensions resulting from Israel’s air attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The incident caused a 3.21% fall in the crypto market cap, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow 30 also seeing a decline in value. Meanwhile, the latest SOL unstaking by FTX administrators comes as the exchange prepares for the third phase of distribution to creditors. So far, the exchange has refunded over $7 billion to different classes of creditors, with the latest concluding on May 30. While the exchange has yet to announce the date for the next round, signs of preparation are already evident, with FTX agreeing with the payment platform Payoneer to be its third distribution agent. This move will likely cater to several creditors in countries that have been previously restricted. Still, several countries remain restricted, and there are concerns about repayments. These countries, such as China, Ukraine, Nigeria, and Russia, remain without a distribution provider that supports the jurisdictions. Beyond that, there are concerns about unresolved disputed claims with FTX creditor Sunil Kavuri, noting that $2 billion in claims are still disputed. However, the exchange has set aside $6.5 billion in reserves for undisputed claims, and Kavuri expects most disputed claims will be allowed in the next round of payments. Interestingly, the repayment efforts have not ended the various lawsuits over the FTX collapse. More than two years after it collapsed, Shaquille O’Neal , one of those involved in promoting the exchange, has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit against him for $1.8 million. O’Neal, popularly known as Shaq, agreed to settle the action without admitting any wrongdoing for representing that FTX was trustworthy for users. However, the settlement filed in Florida is still subject to approval by the judge. Shaq’s decision is the first instance of a celebrity involved in promoting the FTX exchange having to settle. Other promoters, including Tom Brady, Steph Curry, and Gisele Bundchen, have had claims against them dismissed. Interstingly, the FTX estate itself is engaged in various lawsuits to claw back money from those it alleged got funds from the exchange after it was insolvent. One of the lawsuits is against Binance, and there is also pending action against convicted former co-CEO Ryan Salame. However, the exchange settled the lawsuit against Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents after they jointly filed for dismissal of the lawsuit without prejudice. FTX administrators initially initiated a lawsuit against them to claw back funds. KEY Difference Wire helps crypto brands break through and dominate headlines fast

Sharplink Gaming has taken a major step into the crypto space by establishing an Ethereum Treasury Reserve and acquiring over $462 million worth of ETH. This move makes the company the largest public holder of ETH, second only to the Ethereum Foundation. According to a press release , Sharplink purchased 176,270.69 ETH at an average price of $2,626, totaling approximately $462.9 million. The acquisition reflects a major shift in the firm’s strategy, placing Ethereum at the center of its digital asset reserves. To fund the purchase, Sharplink raised $425 million through a private placement deal and another $79 million via an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering. The company used most of these proceeds to acquire ETH, highlighting its strong commitment to building a substantial crypto reserve . As a result, Sharplink reported an 11.9% increase in ETH per share since June 2. It has also deployed over 95% of its ETH into staking and liquid staking protocols , contributing to Ethereum’s network security while generating passive yield. Despite Sharplink’s bullish ETH announcement, its stock (SBET) experienced sharp volatility. According to Google Finance, the stock dropped 12.25% on Thursday to close at $32.50, then plunged to as low as $8 in after-hours trading. However, by Friday, it had recovered slightly to $11.05, still down about 66% over 24 hours. Nonetheless, the stock remains up nearly 230% over the past month and 37% year-to-date. Meanwhile, the steep drop came after Sharplink filed an S-3 registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing outlined a possible resale of 58.7 million shares issued during a previous private investment in public equity (PIPE) offering, involving more than 100 investors. In turn, this triggered fears of dilution, prompting a wave of selling. In response, Sharplink Chairman Joseph Lubin clarified on X that the filing doesn’t reflect any current sales. He explained that it only registers shares in case past investors choose to sell later.
