Crypto Round-up by Kalkine Media: Winds of Change Ahead as Institutions Embrace Crypto Assets

Published

on

 

Institutional interest in crypto assets is on the rise as the blockchain-powered currencies sprint to new highs and lows frequently. The volatility underlying these assets aside, investors are now keeping a close track of the rapid developments in the space.

Cryptos are a different asset class considering they are not listed on any particular stock market or form a part of any particular stock index. In contrast to listed shares and debt instruments, crypto assets can be traded over dedicated crypto exchange platforms that function without any geographical borders or regulatory oversight.

Kalkine Media is closely observing the impact of crypto assets in global investment scene in the wake of some recent developments.

Institutional players embrace crypto

Banks and major fintech companies are on the path to making cryptos a mainstream investment class.

JPMorgan has provided its clients access to Grayscale Investments’ funds and Osprey Funds. In total, the bank has allowed exposure to six crypto funds. Morgan Stanley also provides similar services. Canada became the first country in the world to approve and launch a Bitcoin ETF earlier this year.

S&P Dow Jones has launched cryptocurrency indices that track movement in prices of Bitcoin and Ether.

Regulators sound cautious, but not hostile

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) – a government agency that oversees compliance by all national banks – recognizes banks’ custody and safekeeping services for crypto assets.

Officials of the Fed and the SEC have talked about bringing crypto assets under regulatory oversight. SEC Chair Gary Gensler lately stated that Bitcoin could be a “catalyst for change”. Gensler pointed out that people have been “speculating on the value of gold” for millennia.

Road ahead

A change brews where global regulators are neither fully rejecting crypto assets nor embracing them. Amid this, top banks and digital payments giants are jumping onto the bandwagon. Gensler’s recent remarks were more inclined toward regulating the space instead of any hard-hitting approach.

Kalkine Media aims to study and analyze the emerging crypto asset class and at the same time provide insights on underlying risks and rewards. (www.kalkinemedia.com).

oToBrite Develops a Compact All-Weather Vision-AI Driver Monitoring System for the Commercial Vehicle Market

HSINCHU, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — oToBrite, a leading provider of vision-AI ADAS solutions, has successfully developed a compact all-weather vision-AI Driver Monitoring System (DMS). With a high-sensitivity automotive-grade global shutter image sensor, the system achieves outstanding Quantum Efficiency (QE), providing clear image quality day and night. With oToBrite’s proprietary secondary optical system, the overall combination effectively enhances the accuracy and reliability of the vision-AI algorithm in all weather conditions. The DMS has already been successfully delivered to heavy commercial vehicle manufacturers, mitigating the potential risks of traffic accidents.

oToBrite’s vision-AI DMS utilizes self-developed AI 3D facial landmark technology to identify over 100 driver IDs and recognize driving behaviors, including smoking, phone use, distraction, fatigue. The system remains effective even when drivers wear Level 3 sunglasses or coated glasses, without compromising the detection and recognition capabilities of vision-AI.
The vision-AI DMS features a 940nm infrared and high-QE sensor, coupled with oToBrite’s proprietary optical design, ensuring clear images in strong light conditions (>120K lux) or during nighttime driving. Additionally, oToBrite’s vision-AI technology optimizes facial image quality, ensuring accurate AI recognition whether driving against sunlight, backlight, or through tunnels.
Miniaturization is a significant trend in driver monitoring applications. oToBrite further emphasizes that, compared to many systems on the market requiring multiple LEDs for sufficient illumination, the DMS only needs one LED to meet the system’s image quality requirements. In terms of hardware technology, oToBrite’s secondary optical system adjusts the LED light source to any angle to meet light distribution needs. Concentrating the light source can double the illumination, producing more reliable images for AI recognition. This also reduces optical component usage, enhances image clarity, and saves installation space and system costs.
According to the 2023 market research report by Gii, the DMS market reached $1.3 billion in 2022, with an expected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.3% by 2028, reaching $20.8 billion. Currently, several countries are drafting or have implemented regulations, and driven by regulatory demand, oToBrite’s compact all-weather vision-AI DMS has begun mass production, contributing to achieving Vision Zero.
