Bitcoin Rewards Firm Lolli Raises $10M in Funding Led by Acrew Capital, Social Media Moguls

The bitcoin rewards platform Lolli has announced the company has closed a $10 million Series A funding round on Wednesday. Lolli says the new financing will help the firm expand, hire and develop new partnerships.


Lolli Raises $10 Million


The New York-based Lolli has raised $10 million from investors, according to the company’s announcement on July 28. The company said that the Series A was led by Acrew Capital, Banana Capital, Up North Management, and Animal Capital.


The venture capital company Animal was founded by social media moguls Noah Beck, Josh Richards, and Griffin Johnson. Lolli further detailed that investors like Baron Davis, Kenny Beecham, Logan Paul, and Chantel Jeffries participated as well.


The CTO and co-founder of Lolli, Matt Senter, said that Acrew Capital’s investment shows the company understands that bitcoin-based businesses are blossoming.


“Acrew’s sizable bet on Lolli says two things: bitcoin business is booming, and as the original bitcoin rewards platform, Lolli has the best team to increase adoption in the long run,” Senter said in a statement. The Series A funding will be used to expand the firm, recruit new employees, and “further development of the recently launched mobile app.”


Tiktok star and social media giant Josh Richards and the Youtuber and entrepreneur, Logan Paul, also discussed the Lolli investment. “I’m thrilled to be investing and helping to fuel the growth of a company that allows users to earn and learn about this new asset class,” Youtube star Logan Paul said on Wednesday. Josh Richards said that his firm Animal Capital believes in companies that are embracing the modern age. Richards remarked during the announcement:


At Animal Capital, we believe in companies that are meeting modern users where they are – by bringing opportunities to invest in bitcoin to shoppers of all ages, Lolli is poised to transform the way that people, especially young shoppers, think about investing.

Lolli’s Competition, Review Score, and Drawbacks


Lolli isn’t the only service that offers crypto rewards these days for shopping, and the app competes with pre-paid crypto cards like Blockfi’s and Crypto.com’s Visa cards. The company was recently reviewed on July 13 by bitcompare.net’s Dean Fankhauser and achieved a score of 4.5 out of 5. Fankhauser’s review is fairly comprehensive but mentions some drawbacks tied to Lolli’s application.


“You’ll need to wait between 30 and 90 days before seeing any actual earnings from the app,” Fankhauser writes. “Considering how small these earnings are, that’s a long time to wait for an online shopping reward.”


The review also says that “returning items on which you’ve already earned bitcoin rewards can also muddy the waters of the system.” In contrast, Crypto.com’s wait time for crypto rewards on pre-paid crypto debit purchases is negligible because the crypto rewards are instant.

P2P Bitcoin Traders in Nigeria Think Outside the Box in the Wake of CBN Restrictions

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions. As shown in one local report , one such legal way is through an app created by one local crypto start-up, Patricia. According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this report, we relis

A Jacobin Podcast Review: Critiques on Crypto and Sterlin’s Response

https://motleybloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/a-jacobin-podcast-review-critiques-on-crypto-and-sterlins-response.jpg The following opinion editorial is a Jacobin Podcast review written by the author Sterlin Lujan , the chief risk officer with Cryptospace. The Jacobin Podcast episode called: “ Dig: Cryptocurrency w/ Edward Ongweso Jr & Jacob Silverman, ” touches upon “cryptocurrency, NFTs, Elon Musk, the metaverse, meme stocks, and techno-utopianism amid the crushing reality of our neoliberal hellscape.” Cryptocurrency isn’t fringe technology anymore. Over the last decade, it has become embedded into finance, culture, and even our social life. It’s drastically changing the way we think about money, economics, and human action. However, some people, primarily on the left, are skeptical of cryptocurrency. Many of them hate it, regardless of how much of a godsend it has been for many. My friend, thought leader, author, and psychedelic visionary, Daniel Pinchbeck, pointed out a
