SoftBank Focuses On The Layout Of The Metaverse With AOS To Create A Brand-New Future

Published

on

Recently, Softbank Ventures Asia publicly announced that it has begun to focus on Metaverse and invested in the AOS project. It will cooperate with AOS to connect and integrate more Metaverses in AI, NFT, robotics, and other fields, and carry the development of large-scale killer applications.

The enthusiastic investment in Metaverse has not subsided, but it has risen again. The technology giants have all entered the Metaverse. Facebook plans to fully transform into Metaverse before 2025, and will set up a product team to accelerate investment in VR/AR and the creator community; Bytedance, which has always believed in Striving for Miracles, merged Mutong Technology for 4 billion USD, and begin to lay out the Metaverse; Axie Infinity builds NFT games based on the Metaverse, subverting the traditional game mode and becoming a phenomenon-level game product; miHOYO, the developer of “Genshin Impact”, formed an AI scientist inverse entropy team, and self-developed Avatar Luming to explore the brain-computer interface. Through investment, miHOYO has successfully deployed the social Metaverse Soul; the Internet industry is renewing and iterating rapidly, and companies need to attach importance to meet unknown concepts and challenges or be left behind by the times.

In the Metaverse era, everything has virtual avatars. The concept of Metaverse seems to be still in the mist today, but the prelude to the new era has been opened, and it is closer than you think.

The popularization of the term Metaverse was cited from the novel Avalanche by American science fiction writer Neil Stephenson in 1992. In his book, he used the word Metaverse for the first time without foundation and described it as a parallel universe projected from the real world through technical means such as the Internet. However, anyone who has watched the movie “Ready Player One” by the great director Steven Spielberg should probably understand this concept. Like the “Oasis” in the movie, the company has created a realistic virtual world outside of the real world. Every player in the real world has another identity in the virtual world, establishes another social circle, and leads another life. Although the Metaverse is only a virtual world, its immersion is so vivid that you will think it is the real world and enjoy life in this new world.

AOS (Artificial Intelligence Operating System) is the first operating system developed by Canada Unicorn Park, based on the underlying blockchain technology to connect the Metaverse. By building a Metaverse bridge online, and using robots as an intelligent carrier offline to build an ecosystem between Metaverses and provide a new experience for integration with Metaverse and the real world.

Based on AOS, users could create an AI NFT that has autonomous consciousness and advanced self-learning capability; And it also gets influenced by the distributed personality database on the chain to build character, and gradually complete neural network-style self-learning and improvements. Most of all, the distributed character database is based on the “Book of Changes” and appropriately constructs the character of AI; users can inject their favorite characters, personalities, voices, etc., into their own AI NFT, and tame it to learn more skills. AOS encourages users to integrate more characters and personalities, combined with NFT to create different artistic values. The custom AI itself has NFT attributes. Users can customize the appearance of AI on the network, and can also authorize access to a third-party character customization system, such as specific character images and voices, and third-party NFT star voices and appearances, packaged in the form of NFT used for trading and collection.

AOS connects the first-generation physical carrier, the AI four-wheel driving robot Mars_1 with the Metaverse and the real world, creating a new user experience.

Mars_1 is a highly integrated artificial intelligence robot product. Its appearance is in the form of a four-legged driving robot dog. It adopts an original five-layer motion control technology and several technical indicators are in a leading position in the global industry. Mars_1 has integrated the Internet of Things, 5G, virtual reality/augmented reality, intelligent driving, swarm intelligence, and other technologies. Mars_1 will obey commands and gradually be closer to a dog and then become to a good assistant to humankind.

On the road to the Metaverse, AOS always hopes to leave a strong and colorful stroke in its own way. Connect the Metaverse through AI and map out the experience and lifestyle of the future. For the world that people dream of, high-intelligence AI coupled with linkage with robots will be an indispensable component of this era. As the aboriginal and basic units of the Metaverse, these virtual species based on AOS will continue to establish connections with us beyond human beings in the infinite space and time of the future, transcending the fetters of races.

Sun Zhengyi believes: “We are about to experience the biggest change in human history. AI will eventually replace human beings. This is not only reflected in knowledge but also in intelligence. This change will happen in this century, and then in the next 30 years, there is no doubt that our focus is on AI, intelligent robots, and the IOTs.” Based on this analysis and judgment, SoftBank has frequently carried out large-scale layouts in the fields of AI, intelligent robots, and  IOTs. Start from all aspects to create a powerful robot empire. Today, SoftBank’s industries have completed the layout of the future of the new Internet field as Sun Zhengyi said in the past, and completed more than half of the investment of unicorn companies on a global scale, laying a foundation for the subsequent development of the IOTs in the world.

As a world-renowned “Animation Kingdom”, Japan has an irreplaceable influence in the global animation field. After half a century of development, the Japanese animation industry has formed an extremely large system, making Japan the world’s largest animation production and exporting country, and it also around animation IP to derive cultural and creative products, such as GK. With the development of smart technology, they also work hard in the direction of intelligence for GK. Headquartered in Japan, SoftBank has a unique geographical location and is deeply immersed in Japanese IP culture. This collaboration with AOS will further promote the combination of the GK industry and the AI​industry, and provide AOS with a steady stream of IP resources. Users’ favorite characters such as Luffy, Conan, Sailor Moon, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Inuyasha, etc., can inject their image and personality into AI to create your smart figure. Each AI figure is a unique individual, and different parameters also create different expressions and styles. At the same time, when users have more exchanges with AI, they will gradually become familiar with the user’s temper and preferences and adjust their apparent personality in real-time and dynamically making it infinitely close to the form that we want to see eventually.

The product made by a single company is not enough to be called a Metaverse but constitutes an ecological system. With the deep participation of users, if it is successful in collective efforts to build a more interoperable system, and it can be transformed into different layers, then it should be called a Metaverse. AOS is committed to becoming the link between the physical world and the virtual world, as a bridge between various Metaverses to connect the Metaverse and continue to build a new Metaverse ecology. This will be the top priority in the next stage of the development of the Internet after the mobile Internet.

What kind of world will mankind be in the future? SoftBank Asia and AOS have worked together because of the same concept for Metaverse and jointly created such a grand concept, standing at the forefront of the Metaverse economic tide, seizing opportunities, embracing the new future, and believing that with their win-win cooperation, they will give a perfect answer for the world.

SK Hynix ETFs – 2x Long (SKHX) & 1x Short (SKHZ) from Leverage Shares by Themes Arrive as ADRs Begin Trading

Published

Greenwich, Connecticut, July 10th, 2026, FinanceWire

One Trading Day After the Record Nasdaq Debut, Traders Get 2x Long and 1x Short Tools at a 0.75% Fee — With Options on Both Funds Expected Shortly After Launch

SK Hynix’s American Depositary Receipts began trading on Nasdaq today in the largest-ever US listing by a foreign company, an offering recently sized near $28 billion¹ — and US traders are one trading day away from a complete toolkit to act on it. Leverage Shares by Themes confirmed that the Leverage Shares 2x Long SK Hynix Daily ETF (ticker: SKHX) and the Leverage Shares 1x Short SK Hynix Daily ETF (ticker: SKHZ) begin trading on Cboe this coming Tuesday, July 14th.

The Only 1x Short in the Field

Among the leveraged SK Hynix ETFs arriving Monday, SKHZ is expected to be the only 1x, non-leveraged short product — a way to lean bearish or hedge existing exposure without the amplified decay of a -2x fund. SKHX seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to 200% (2x) of the daily performance of the SK Hynix American Depositary Receipt (Nasdaq: SKHY); SKHZ seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to -100% (-1x) of that daily performance. Both funds are actively managed and utilize swaps, options, and other derivatives to deliver efficient exposure.

Options Days Away

Options on both SKHX and SKHZ are expected to begin trading within days of the funds’ launch, adding defined-risk strategies and hedging flexibility on top of the funds themselves.

Experience at This Scale

The firm ran the same play around SpaceX’s IPO, launching long and short ETFs — SPCH and SSPC — simultaneously, in a debut that set the record for the biggest first week of trading in ETF history, topping $4 billion in volume over four trading days.² Both SKHX and SKHZ carry a 0.75% management fee, approximately 40% below the category average.³

“Today the market got SK Hynix. On Monday, traders get the tools — long or short, with options right behind, at a fee that respects them,” said Jose C. Gonzalez Navarro, CEO and Co-Founder of Themes ETFs. “As with all of our daily leveraged and inverse products, these are trading vehicles that reset each day, not buy-and-hold instruments — we encourage investors to size positions carefully and know their exit points.”

Definitions:

American Depositary Receipt (ADR): An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a negotiable certificate issued by a U.S. depositary bank that represents shares of a foreign company. ADRs trade on U.S. exchanges in U.S. dollars, making it easier for U.S. investors to buy and sell shares of non-U.S. companies.

Options: Options are exchange-traded contracts linked to an underlying security, such as an ETF, that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) the underlying security at a specified price before or on a specified expiration date. Options can be used to manage risk or express investment views but involve significant risk and are not appropriate for all investors.

INVESTMENT INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK. Fund does not invest directly in the underlying stock. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund.

An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about Themes ETFs. To obtain a Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus call 886-584-3637. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Newly launched Funds have risks associated with a limited operating history.

Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from 200% (for 2x) or -100% (for -1x) of the return of the underlying stock over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the underlying stock performance is flat over time, and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying stock’s volatility and the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money over time while the underlying stock’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2x, -1x) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the underlying stock’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment for all leveraged funds (2x, -1x). For the 2x fund, if the price of the underlying stock falls by more than 50% in one trading day, an investor could lose the full principal value of their investment.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any borrowings, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution (12b-1) fees and expenses.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

INVESTMENT RISKS: Investing in the Funds involves a high degree of risk. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Funds.

Investment in leveraged products may be subject to higher volatility. Fund does not directly invest in the underlying stock. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with the Fund concentrating its investments in a particular industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps is subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. Risks of the Fund include effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Inverse Risk, Market Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, IntraDay Investment Risk, Daily Index Correlation Risk, Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk, and risks specific to the securities of the Underlying Stock and the sector in which it operates. These and other risks can be found in the prospectus.

For periods longer than a single day, the Funds will lose money if SK Hynix has flat performance, and it is possible that the Funds will lose money even if SK Hynix performance increases or decreases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of SK Hynix rises or falls by more than 50% in one trading day.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn’t available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (NBBO) as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share, and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees, expenses, or sales charges. One cannot invest directly in an index.

This information is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any Funds to any person in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

TrueDAO Raises $10 million in Strategic Funding to Accelerate AI-Powered Financial Infrastructure

Published

on

July 10, 2026

By

New York, USA, July 10th, 2026, Chainwire

TrueDAO announced today the completion of a $10 million strategic funding round. The round was led by Brevan Howard Digital, with participation from Zee Prime Capital and Jump Capital. The proceeds will primarily fund core AI protocol development, AI-driven risk control, security audits, global compliance efforts, and the expansion of ecosystem partnerships.

The journey to this milestone began a year ago when the TrueDAO team set out to build a decentralized financial infrastructure driven by smart contracts, on-chain reserves, dynamic adjustment mechanisms, and community governance. The initiative aimed to address challenges in the traditional crypto industry regarding yield sustainability, risk response, reserve transparency, and governance efficiency; since then, the team has successfully developed the core protocol architecture.

TrueDAO is not designed for a single blockchain application; instead, it aims to serve as a modular financial infrastructure, providing global ecosystem projects with liquidity management, reserve management, risk alerts, yield distribution, and governance support.

This funding round will focus on five key areas: refining smart contracts and protocol modules; building AI-driven risk monitoring and stress-testing systems; implementing independent security audits, real-time monitoring, and bug bounty programs; advancing legal and compliance assessments across various jurisdictions; and releasing developer documentation while expanding ecosystem partnerships.

SoLee, Head of Marketing at TrueDAO stated “Raising $10 million is a significant milestone, but it is not the finish line. While capital accelerates development, it cannot replace security, transparent governance, and genuine value creation. We remain committed to building an on-chain financial infrastructure that is auditable, verifiable, and governable.”

Following the funding, TrueDAO will advance its testnet launch, security audits, developer tools, and ecosystem integration plans, while disclosing protocol operations and reserve data in phases. Specific launch dates, token arrangements, and incentive mechanisms will be subject to official announcements and applicable laws.

About TrueDAO

TrueDAO is an AI-driven decentralized autonomous financial infrastructure project. It is dedicated to building an open, transparent, and composable on-chain financial system through the integration of smart contracts, on-chain data, AI risk analysis, dynamic value adjustment, protocol reserves, and DAO governance.
