Nillion’s NIL Dips 12% After Debut; Analyst Believes Network’s ‘Blind Computing’ Holds Promise for Data Privacy, AI

Published

on

Private computation and storage network Nillion, dubbed the «blind computer,» debuted its mainnet and native token NIL on Monday.

However, the token’s market capitalization has dropped 12% in the first 24 hours alongside continued listing by major exchanges, including South Korea’s Bithumb and optimism in the analyst community about the project’s long-term prospects.

NIL debuted with a total supply of 1 billion, of which 19.52% or 195.15 million NIL were airdropped to the community on the first day, resulting in an at-inception market capitalization of just over $165 million.

Since then, its market value has dropped 12% to $144.93 million, with the token changing hands at 74 cents on major exchanges, such as Binance, Gate.io, MEXC, Bitget and others, according to data source Coingecko.

Earlier on Tuesday, Bithumb, one of the largest crypto exchanges in the altcoin-savvy South Korea, announced the listing of the NIL-Korean won pair on its platform.

Nillion’s blind computing

Nillion is a decentralized platform designed to support private, high-value data storage and computation, and it works in the same way as blockchains decentralize transactions.

But there’s a catch. Unlike blockchains focusing on transparent ledgers, Nillion uses Nil Message Compute (NMC), which allows computations on encrypted data without exposing (decrypting) it, ensuring that no single node or party has access to sensitive data.

The network’s architecture combines a Coordination Layer called nilChain and Petnet, with the latter using privacy-enhancing technologies like multi-party computation, fully homomorphic encryption and trusted execution environments to deliver data security.

This so-called blind computing starkly contrasts traditional methods that require decryption before processing, which exposes sensitive data, such as personal health/finance information, to security threats and misuse.

Pivotal for AI boom

Nillion addresses the persistent challenge of data privacy and trust issues in sectors like artificial intelligence (AI) – personal assistants and Healthcare AIs – private order books in decentralized finance and many more.

«Nillion is tackling AI’s biggest hurdle: trust. By weaving together cutting-edge privacy tech into a seamless backbone for AI, Nillion has the potential to become as fundamental to AI as SSL is to the web. If Nillion can make it as easy to use as it is powerful, they’ll be powering the next wave of AI adoption,» Yau Teng Yan, founder and chief evangelist at research firm Chain of Thought said in a detailed post on X.

«The privacy revolution is just beginning,» Yan added.

Bullish tokenomics

The NIL token is the governance cryptocurrency used to pay network fees for blind computation and payments across Nillion’s Coordination Layer and Petnet, securing the network through staking and participation in the on-chain governance module.

«NIL’s token economics is designed for adoption. NIL will power the network, securing operations while driving burn-based demand as usage scales,» Yan noted.

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Published

By

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.

The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.

Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.

The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.

Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.

«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Published

By

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.

The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.

On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.

The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.

Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.

Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
