PANews reported on November 20th that GAIB, an AI and robotics infrastructure economic layer project, issued an official statement today regarding the premature sale of tokens by external institutions on the day of TGE, and announced the launch of the official GAIB buyback program. In the statement, GAIB emphasized that the approximately five wallets identified by the community, each selling approximately 1 million GAIB tokens, are not affiliated with the team, advisors, or any internal entity. All tokens belonging to the team and core contributors are currently locked, and the GAIB team has not sold any tokens. An internal investigation revealed that these wallets belonged to external market institutions in multiple regions. According to their pre-TGE cooperation agreements, the tokens they received were only permitted for community activity incentives after launch and were explicitly prohibited from being sold beforehand. However, some institutions violated the agreement by selling tokens without authorization on TGE day, constituting a serious breach of contract. GAIB has issued formal notices to the relevant institutions, demanding a full repurchase of all sold GAIB tokens, provision of on-chain repurchase certificates, and acceptance of all consequences of the breach. However, the relevant institutions have not provided a clear response. GAIB will immediately launch an official repurchase plan, with the team directly repurchasing the improperly sold tokens on the market to ensure that the community's interests are not affected by any third-party actions. In its statement, GAIB said, "We will not leave the community to bear any consequences. The buyback program is our commitment to responsibility and transparency." GAIB will release an update to the community as soon as it obtains further details on the buyback implementation.PANews reported on November 20th that GAIB, an AI and robotics infrastructure economic layer project, issued an official statement today regarding the premature sale of tokens by external institutions on the day of TGE, and announced the launch of the official GAIB buyback program.

Crypto-Fueled Rekt Drinks Sells 1 Millionth Can Amid MoonPay Collab

The post Crypto-Fueled Rekt Drinks Sells 1 Millionth Can Amid MoonPay Collab appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Rekt Brands sold its 1 millionth can of its Rekt Drinks flavored sparkling water. The Web3 firm collaborated with payments infrastructure company MoonPay on a peach-raspberry flavor called “Moon Crush.” Rekt incentivizes purchasers of its drinks with the REKT token, which hit an all-time high market cap of $583 million in August. Web3 consumer firm Rekt Brands sold its 1 millionth can of its Rekt Drinks sparkling water on Friday, surpassing its first major milestone with the sold-out drop of its “Moon Crush” flavor—a peach raspberry-flavored collaboration with payments infrastructure firm MoonPay.  The sale follows Rekt’s previous sellout collaborations with leading Web3 brands like Solana DeFi protocol Jupiter, Ethereum layer-2 network Abstract, and Coinbase’s layer-2 network, Base. Rekt has already worked with a number of crypto-native brands, but says it has been choosy when cultivating collabs. “We have received a large amount of incoming enquiries from some of crypto’s biggest brands, but it’s super important for us to be selective in order to maintain the premium feel of Rekt,” Rekt Brands co-founder and CEO Ovie Faruq told Decrypt.  (Disclosure: Ovie Faruq’s Canary Labs is an investor in DASTAN, the parent company of Decrypt.) “We look to work with brands who are able to form partnerships that we feel are truly strategic to Rekt’s goal of becoming one of the largest global beverage brands,” he added. In particular, Faruq highlighted MoonPay’s role as a “gateway” between non-crypto and crypto users as a reason the collaboration made “perfect sense.”  “We’re thrilled to bring something to life that is both delicious and deeply connected to the crypto community,” MoonPay President Keith Grossman told Decrypt.  Rekt Brands has been bridging the gap between Web3 and the real world with sales of its sparkling water since November 2024. In its first sale,…
