According to Bloomberg, citing informed sources, the cryptocurrency exchange and wallet service provider Blockchain.com plans to complete its initial public offering (IPO) this year, aiming to raise approximately $500 million, with a target valuation range of $4 billion to $6 billion.Informed sources stated that if the listing process requires it, the company is also willing to accept a smaller issuance plan. Blockchain.com reached a valuation of $14 billion during the last peak of the cryptocurrency market, and this target valuation is significantly lower than that level. In May of this year, the company secretly submitted a draft registration document to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to pave the way for a potential IPO, at that time not disclosing the number of shares to be issued or the price range.This listing plan comes as the capital market environment for cryptocurrency companies is reopening. Since mid-August, when the U.S. Treasury announced a significant increase in long-term Treasury bond repurchases, the price of Bitcoin has risen by more than 30%, driving an overall rebound in the cryptocurrency market. However, market conditions remain challenging; according to Bloomberg data, the stock prices of recently listed companies Gemini, BitGo, and eToro have fallen by about 50% to 80% from their post-listing highs.

A federal jury in San Diego, USA, ruled on Friday that Apple must pay over $5.7 billion in damages for using patented technology from the haptic patent company Taction Technology, according to Caixin. This is the highest patent compensation amount in U.S. history. Taction sued Apple in 2021, claiming that its sales of devices infringing on touch technology improperly utilized related innovations; the case was dismissed in 2023 but was later reinstated by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.Apple issued a statement strongly opposing the verdict and the amount of damages, stating that the ruling lacks factual basis. Apple stated that its haptic engine is fundamentally different from Taction's technology, and tests conducted during the trial confirmed this, asserting that it did not use Taction's technology and would appeal. Taction's chief attorney, Lance Yang, thanked the jury and mentioned that the company waited five and a half years for the case to go to trial.The core of the lawsuit revolves around two vibration-based haptic sensor technologies designed to allow users to perceive the device's response to input. Taction claims that Apple’s haptic engine in the Apple Watch and iPhone used its inventions without authorization. Apple's haptic engine was launched in 2014 with the Apple Watch and was used in the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus the following year, replacing the older vibration motors. Since Apple insists on appealing, the amount of damages will need to be determined first by the presiding judge before entering the appeals process for final confirmation.
