Humanity Protocol’s $1 billion valuation
Humanity Protocol, a blockchain-based project, reached unicorn status in May, boasting a $1 billion valuation. This milestone came after it secured $30 million in a seed round led by Kingsway Capital.
Among its investors are Animoca Brands, Blockchain.com, Hashed and Shima Capital.
According to a Medium post by Humanity Protocol, the funds helped expand the team and develop products ahead of the public testnet launch in the second half of 2024.
The latest funding round came only months after Humanity Protocol received strategic investment to build the “human layer” for web3.
Several VC funds and individuals, including Polygon founder Sandeep Nailwal and Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu, joined the effort.

Reportedly abandoned by its developer, SKI was revived by its enthusiastic community, leading to an impressive surge in value and popularity.
The coin has shown resilience during broader crypto market dips, indicating strong investor confidence.

The project has also benefited from endorsements by notable figures, including Jesse Pollak, Base’s creator, who publicly praised SKI and purchased it, as well as singer Camila Cabello.
The former “Fifth Harmony” member briefly used the SKI logo as her Instagram profile picture, amplifying the coin’s visibility.
SKI also distinguishes itself with its grassroots marketing and community creativity, often manifesting as memes and social media campaigns that have further fueled its popularity.
The coin’s market cap has exceeded $30 million, with daily trading volumes reaching $2 million, showcasing its growing traction. It exemplifies the rise of “social-first” meme coins that prioritize community engagement over traditional development roadmaps
