What does raising $133M mean in this context? Is this money that "seeds" the currency? Or is it actually money available to the founders to run the business, make hires, etc...
Basis reminds me a bit of Tether - hopefully with a bit more transparency around where the money actually is.
I think the crypto wars have a long time to play out - but I think ETH wins out because of blockchain externalities.
basis is a whole different use case than eth or btc. It aims at providing a purely transactional currency that is stable and has no risk of losing value. Hence people should have no risk switching fiat into it and they still have the benefits of blockchain.
the money is available to the business imo.
