3iQ Corp. Unveils Metaverse Headquarters in Voxels
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – May 13, 2022) – Today, 3iQ Corp (3iQ), Canada’s largest digital asset fund manager, unveiled its new virtual headquarters (HQ) located in the Voxels (formerly known as Cryptovoxels) metaverse. The Voxels metaverse is a virtual world in the metaverse, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. In this virtual world, users can create and customize their avatars, purchase and build on parcels of land. Similar to physical real estate, users own their land and assets-with their ownership and purchase history recorded permanently on the blockchain.
3iQ’s metaverse HQ is located in Rome, one of the oldest cities in the Voxels metaverse, on a parcel of waterfront property. The sleek and modern building is designed to represent the 3iQ brand and offer a space in the metaverse to share research and insights to educate visitors about the latest innovations in digital assets. The headquarters will also serve as a place for employees to gather, host webinars and events in the metaverse.
“At 3iQ, we believe that the blockchain will not only serve as the future of finance, but it is the next iteration of the internet. This announcement is akin to having a website in the early 90s,” said Fred Pye, CEO of 3iQ. “Being the first regulated digital asset investment fund manager in Canada, we’re excited to continue in that tradition of innovation and be one of the first fund managers to extend our presence into the metaverse. This move further demonstrates our commitment to making it easy for investors to benefit from the financial evolution towards blockchain technology.”

FBI warning against crypto money transmitters ‘appears’ to be aimed at mixers
A recent warning from the FBI regarding a crypto money transmitter seems to be aimed at the Samourai Wallet. This development highlights the increasing scrutiny and regulatory challenges faced by privacy-focused cryptocurrency wallets and services.
The FBI warning raises concerns about the use of certain cryptocurrency wallets that prioritize user privacy and anonymity, potentially enabling illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. While the warning does not explicitly name any specific wallet or service, the language used suggests that the Samourai Wallet may be the target of the advisory.
Samourai Wallet is known for its focus on privacy and security features, including coin mixing and stealth addresses, which aim to enhance user privacy and protect against surveillance and tracking. However, these features have drawn the attention of law enforcement agencies and regulators, who are increasingly concerned about their potential misuse by criminals.
The FBI warning underscores the challenges faced by privacy-focused cryptocurrency wallets in navigating regulatory compliance and law enforcement scrutiny. While these wallets aim to empower users with greater control over their financial privacy, they must also address regulatory requirements and law enforcement concerns to avoid legal and reputational risks.
As the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve, privacy-focused wallets like Samourai Wallet will need to strike a balance between privacy and compliance, ensuring that they can provide robust privacy features while also addressing regulatory concerns and maintaining transparency with authorities. This delicate balance is essential to foster trust and confidence among users and regulators alike, ultimately enabling the continued growth and adoption of privacy-enhancing technologies in the cryptocurrency space.
