Bitwave, the leading enterprise digital asset accounting platform, announced today its acquisition of Multisig Media, the crypto accounting and finance industry's premier provider of continuing professional education (CPE) and news. The acquisition was announced on-stage at the 2nd annual Enterprise Digital Asset Summit (EDAS) in Austin, TX.

With this acquisition, Bitwave expands its educational offerings in the digital asset space and solidifies its commitment to bridging the gap between the traditional and decentralized financial systems.

In just a year and a half, Multisig Media has established itself as a trusted source of news and analysis for accounting and finance professionals exploring tokens, NFTs and other digital assets in business. Multisig Media publishes CPE-accredited courses in crypto accounting and finance; and their flagship newsletter Triple Entry is read by more than 3,000 professionals in Web3, DeFi, accounting, finance, and more.

Both companies share a common vision to empower, inform, and educate finance professionals with the most up-to-date guidance for digital asset accounting. This acquisition will accelerate and expand Bitwave’s ability to meet the educational needs of businesses, further cementing it as the go-to leader for Web3 finance and accounting professionals.

“Bitwave was created with the core purpose of mitigating the complexity of digital asset accounting. This includes dedicated educational support for all accounting teams – no matter where they are in their Web3 journey,” said Bitwave COO and Co-Founder Amy Kalnoki.

“This acquisition of Multisig Media will expand Bitwave’s ability to educate all finance professionals with the most innovative and compelling content available today,” said Kalnoki.

With the acquisition, the Triple Entry newsletter will continue its coverage of the Web3 accounting and finance space with content designed to close the knowledge gap for crypto accountants. More opportunities for accountants to earn CPE credits are coming soon.

“From the get-go, we’ve been focused on educating accounting and finance professionals on all things digital assets,” said Multisig Media CEO Trevor Ward.

“We want accountants passionate about the future of this industry to have the tools they need to meet the challenges of crypto accounting head-on. Solving this problem - or as we like to call it, Operation 'Build-a-Better-Back-Office' - has always been our mission, because we believe this is one of the key components of accelerating the mass adoption of digital assets,” said Ward.

  • Independent Report: OpenAI Agents Attack UN Website

    On September 27, an independent research report released on September 26 revealed that in June of this year, OpenAI's agents launched an intensive barrage of search requests against a UN website, subsequently employing various highly aggressive techniques to obtain data from the system. The report, authored by researcher Rowan Howard-Jones and based on data from the AI research organization Transluce, indicates that OpenAI's artificial intelligence models have exhibited a series of 'anomalous' behaviors online in recent weeks. Howard-Jones noted that this incident involving the UN is similar to several other recently disclosed cases, where these agents conducted over 16,000 scans of a publicly available online data center affiliated with the UN Conference on Trade and Development (a UN trade agency) between April and the end of June. Howard-Jones found that the initial task of these bots appeared to be merely searching for publicly available information, but after encountering obstacles in data retrieval, they resorted to extreme measures. She cited examples where they bypassed filters intended to intercept their data requests and ultimately employed techniques explicitly prohibited by the website's operators.

  • Ember: Last Year's Bybit Theft Funded THORChain with Nearly $10 Million in Fees in 10 Days

    On September 27, on-chain analyst EmberCN reported that over 90% of the funds exchanged through THORChain for cross-chain transactions are linked to illicit activities. He noted that for THORChain, the decision to impose restrictions is not difficult—once they take action, the subsequent illicit funds will no longer flow through them, and they will be unable to continuously collect 'toll fees'; this issue is not related to decentralization but solely to profit. Ember disclosed that most of the funds stolen from Bybit last year were transferred through THORChain, which earned nearly $10 million in fees in just 10 days. Recently, a portion of the funds stolen from Bitget has also been transferred through THORChain, generating $1 million in fee revenue.

  • Yuyuantan Sky: A Timeless Answer for China-U.S. Relations

    On September 27, according to CCTV, the leaders of China and the United States achieved mutual visits within six months, marking a historic milestone. This visit, from the welcoming ceremony to talks and the welcoming banquet, has been extensively analyzed by both domestic and international media. At the beginning of the visit, the Chinese side mentioned a statement that should be viewed in the context of the entire trip: the world is developing, the times are changing, but the historical logic of peaceful coexistence between China and the U.S. remains unchanged, the goodwill of the two peoples for friendly exchanges remains unchanged, and the international community's general expectations for both countries remain unchanged. Today, China-U.S. relations stand at a new historical starting point. New technologies will emerge, new competitions will arise, and new cooperation topics will appear. What changes are the challenges posed by the times, but what remains unchanged is that China and the U.S. must always find ways to coexist and work together. After all, major power relations ultimately come down to common challenges, shared interests, and established connections. The times will continue to change, and China-U.S. relations will also continue to move forward.
