Apple and Samsung Electronics will invest in SoftBank Group-owned chip designer Arm at its initial public offering (IPO), expected in September, Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported on Tuesday. Reuters reported in June that Arm was in talks with some ten companies - including Apple, Samsung, and Intel - with the aim of bringing on one or more anchor investors in the offering. Last month, Reuters and other media reported that Arm was in talks to bring in US chip designer Nvidia as an anchor investor for the New York listing. Apple, Samsung, Nvidia, and Intel all plan to invest in Arm as soon as it is listed on the market, the Nikkei said. The SoftBank-owned firm will officially apply to the US Securities and Exchange Commission for the listing later this month, the newspaper said. Arm plans to sell the chipmakers stakes of "a few percent each", the newspaper said. SoftBank declined to comment. Apple, Nvidia, and Intel did not immediately respond to a Reuters' req

PayPal, the US-based online payments giant, has launched PYUSD — its own stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Banking on PayPal's massive userbase, crypto scammers have jumped into action to use the opportunity to hunt for victims. Within the first few hours of its launch alone, a bunch of crypto tokens deceptively named around the PYUSD stablecoin, resembling its logo have been spotted by crypto market analysts. Members of the crypto community are sounding alerts to warn others about these fake tokens. DEX Screener, a decentralised exchange scanner, claims to have spotted around 30 pairs of crypto tokens reflecting PYUSD on their tickers. Scammers have reportedly not concentrated their token creations to any particular blockchain, exploring different options instead.

Fake cryptocurrencies are most commonly used by scammers to perform

Kenya's scepticism around the controversial Web3 project, Worldcoin, seems to be growing with each passing day. Over the weekend, Kenyan authorities reportedly raided the office of Worldcoin in Nairobi, only to confiscate all the stored information of the users who registered with the project. The development followed an official government order there, which suspended Worldcoin-related activities indefinitely, for the time being. The controversial project is the brainchild of Sam Altman, the founder of ChatGPT parent firm, OpenAI. Officially launched on July 24, Altman's Worldcoin project is aiming to create a network of ‘real humans' and no robots. The San Francisco, US-based company is looking to assign ‘World IDs' to global citizenry. Altman aims to give real humans a ‘global identity of personhood', which will eliminate the need for them to reveal their personal details just to interact with websites. To do so, the project requires people to submit their eye

Gaming revenue fell 5 percent in 2022, according to the research firm's data. "Many highly anticipated delayed titles launched in 2023, with more scheduled for release in H2 (second half), and the supply of new consoles has finally caught up to demand," said Newzoo analyst Tom Wijman. PlayStation maker Sony said in July it expects to sell 25 million units of PS5 consoles this year, a record for any PlayStation devices, as supply chain issues ease. Market research firm Circana said US consumer spending on video game hardware was up by 23 percent in the first half of 2023. But spending on video game content was flat
