Ava Labs and Tencent Cloud Enable Rapid Node Deployment on the Avalanche Public Blockchain Across APAC

Validated Project

Ava Labs announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with Tencent Cloud to support projects and developers across the Avalanche ecosystem. In addition to providing developers with rapid node deployment, both parties will also explore Avalanche Subnets for enterprises to help accelerate adoption of Web3 technologies across traditional businesses.

Under this arrangement, a full Avalanche node is now live on Tencent Cloud in sync with the Avalanche public blockchain, enabling Tencent Cloud’s infrastructure to support efficient and rapid node deployment for developers and validators across APAC. These features and functions aim to support faster throughput and development for projects in the region building on Tencent Cloud while helping achieve resource decentralization.

Avalanche has developed a suite of Web3 products, including a blockchain wallet, explorer, and bridge. Builders will be able to leverage Tencent Cloud’s infrastructure, together with Avalanche’s Web3 products to build Web3 applications on the Avalanche blockchain.

Avalanche’s novel Subnet technology enables enterprises to develop fully-customizable blockchain infrastructure purpose-built for their use case. This includes choosing who participates in network security, who can access the Subnet, which virtual machine it uses, fee economics, and more.

Game studios should be particularly excited about these developments. They require dedicated, high-performance infrastructure to support large scale user bases, which this combination will deliver. With Avalanche, developers can build confidently knowing users will experience near-instant transaction finality to ensure the low-latency experience they expect from modern games.

According to Ed Chang, Head of Gaming at Ava Labs, “The capabilities that Tencent and Avalanche will deliver are incredibly exciting for the future of games built on blockchain. Tencent is a global powerhouse in both the gaming and infrastructure space, and this collaboration opens the door to building truly incredible Web 3 gaming experiences.”

“Avalanche is the premier platform for both individuals and institutions to build Web3 applications and infrastructure,” said Wilson Wu, Avalanche’s Asia Growth lead. Wu continued, “With Tencent’s support behind the Avalanche ecosystem and its builders, we will push the boundaries of what is possible.”

Ava Labs and Tencent also intend to co-host in-person and online conferences, education programs, developer meetups, and more to support Web3 builders and projects building on Avalanche, starting with a series of events at Tencent Cloud Day in Singapore.

  • Bitmine Holds 6.03 Million ETH, Total Assets Reach $16.2 Billion

    On October 13, Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) announced that as of October 11, 1:30 PM Eastern Time, the company's total assets in cryptocurrency, cash, tradable securities, and venture capital amounted to $16.2 billion. This includes a holding of 6,028,946 ETH, which, based on Coinbase's price of $2,544 per coin, represents 4.9% of the total Ethereum supply (122.1 million coins), achieving 99% of the '5% alchemy' target. Additionally, the company holds 214 bitcoins, $180 million in Beast Industries equity, $85 million in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) equity, and $612 million in cash and tradable securities.

  • Anthropic Warns of AI Worm Risks: 15 Inexpensive TV Boxes Can Run 26 Billion Parameter Models

    On October 13, Anthropic released a study warning that AI could potentially seek out networked devices like computer worms, deploy models, and continue to spread using new devices. Common connected devices such as smart TV boxes and refrigerators may become sources of computational power. In the study, 15 Android TV boxes, each priced at around $55, successfully ran the 26 billion parameter Gemma 4 model, but the inference speed was only 0.39 tokens per second. The Zhiyu GLM-5.2 completed the process of finding targets, transmitting models, and initiating inference to continue spreading within an isolated simulated network, successfully covering all 8 target nodes in 4 out of 5 tests. However, the experiment had an open debugging interface without validation, which lowered the difficulty of intrusion, and it relied on external servers, deploying a smaller Llama 3.1 8B model rather than self-replication. After Qwen3.5-9B transmitted fault records to the next round of agents, the deployment success rate increased from 45% to between 61% and 84%. Anthropic predicts that by the end of 2026, small models suitable for inexpensive devices may possess comparable spreading capabilities, but completing one round of replication for a 9B model may take one to two days.

  • Metaplanet Issues ¥52 Billion Zero-Coupon Convertible Bonds for Debt Repayment and Share Buyback

    On October 13, Metaplanet (TSE: 3350) announced that the company has decided to issue zero-coupon euro-yen convertible bonds maturing in 2031, with a total scale of ¥52 billion (issued at 102.5% of face value). The bonds will be listed on the Singapore Exchange on October 29, with Merrill International serving as the exclusive bookrunner. The net proceeds are approximately ¥51.9 billion, which will be used to repay about ¥23.6 billion of Bitcoin collateralized credit lines (current balance approximately $650 million), and for a share buyback of up to ¥28.3 billion (approximately 97.94 million shares, accounting for about 7.1% of the issued shares) to offset potential dilution and enhance per-share BTC holdings. This financing is a key component of the company's 'Project Nova' strategy. Metaplanet currently holds 44,000 BTC and is transitioning from a pure Bitcoin holder to a Bitcoin-centric native financial platform, with operations including financing, asset management, settlement, and financial product development. The company has completed the acquisition of Metaplanet Securities and Superplanet (NASDAQ: SUPA) by 2026, serving as the operational foundation for the Japan-U.S. capital markets.

  • US Government's Transfer of 17,733 BTC to Coinbase Prime is Custodial, Not a Sale

    On October 13, K33 Research analyzed that the 17,733 BTC transferred by the US government to Coinbase Prime is part of a custodial arrangement rather than a signal of sale. Some of the transferred BTC includes 12,267 coins related to the Bitfinex hacking incident, which are still under the control of the custodian, with only about 1,200 coins potentially available for sale, accounting for less than 7% of the nominal transfer amount. K33 stated that after the US Marshals Service established a 'protection and trading' partnership with Coinbase Prime in 2024, the inflow of seized assets to the platform is often misinterpreted as selling pressure. From October 7 to 8, the US government addresses continuously transferred BTC, USDT, and BNB, with 12,267 BTC related to the Bitfinex case being split into new addresses, and an additional 833.6 BTC and 750.2 WBTC entering Coinbase Prime, indicating a more centralized accumulation. Valuing the 17,733 BTC could lead to an overestimation of immediate supply. The US government still holds approximately 324,000 BTC, and future accumulations may repeatedly create misinterpretations of 'selling' pressure.

  • Hacker Issues 19 Million THEO on Base Network, Converts to Approximately $1.76 Million in ETH

    On October 13, according to monitoring by Shield, 19 million THEO were issued on the Base network. The hacker has converted them into 700.8 ETH, approximately $1.76 million, and cross-chained to Ethereum. THEO has fallen by 92% in the past 24 hours.

  • JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs Reduce Exposure to $5 Billion AI Loan for Volta, Underwriting Only $1.3 Billion

    On October 13, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs implemented unusual risk control measures while leading a $5 billion loan sale for AI cloud startup Volta Infrastructure Holdings: the two banks are underwriting only $1.3 billion of the term loan, leaving approximately $3.7 billion in chip-related loans ununderwritten to reduce their exposure. Sources indicate that this move aims to mitigate the risk of investors demanding higher returns on high-risk AI debt and the risk of banks being forced to hold unsold loans. The debt is priced at a yield of about 11%, which is among the higher levels seen for AI financing in the leveraged loan market, and the transaction is unrated, making it difficult for collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), the largest buyers of such debt, to participate. Banks typically underwrite the entire debt package to assure borrowers of funding, but following the losses from unsold loans due to the sharp interest rate increases in 2022, they are becoming more cautious about unproven AI financing structures. The deadline for loan subscription commitments is October 14; JPMorgan had previously begun gauging investor interest in August.

  • Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Takes Action Against Groups Suspected of IPO Manipulation and Suspends Trading of Cha Bai Dao Shares

    The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) announced that it has taken action against two groups for their alleged involvement in a fraudulent scheme aimed at creating a false or misleading appearance of demand for shares in an initial public offering (IPO). The SFC has also instructed the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to suspend trading of Cha Bai Dao (02555.HK) shares starting from 9:00 AM today. The SFC is highly concerned that the IPO of Cha Bai Dao may have been artificially manipulated to create a misleading appearance of demand for its shares. During the ongoing investigation by the SFC, the suspension of trading in Cha Bai Dao shares is deemed necessary and appropriate to maintain an orderly and fair market for the stock and to protect the interests of investors.
