BlockBeats News, January 28 — According to The Block, AetheriumX, a project built on the Distributed Capital Intelligent Protocol (DCIP), announced today that it has completed $8 million in strategic funding. The round was participated in by CGV, GAINS Associates, DuckDAO, and Genesis Capital, marking AetheriumX’s official entry into a strategic phase focused on ecosystem-driven growth. The newly raised funds will primarily be used to accelerate the development and expansion of its ecosystem, with a focus on the following areas:
· Further optimize the Distributed Capital Intelligent Protocol (DCIP) and its strategy execution network, while expanding core modules including DeFi, GameFi, prediction markets, and creator economy;
· Launch and accelerate the operation of the ecosystem fund, aimed at supporting the incubation and growth of developers, studios, and community nodes;
· Conduct strategic ecosystem expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on the Japanese and Korean markets, including community building and regional cooperation.
AetheriumX aims to build a Web3 ecosystem capable of long-term operation, sustainable expansion, and maintaining genuine participation, rather than relying on short-term incentive-driven growth models. Unlike traditional single-purpose profit platforms, AetheriumX is an interactive on-chain growth system built on DCIP. This system is based on users’ non-custodial on-chain assets and coordinates participation through a programmable strategy execution layer, transforming passive on-chain yields into an engaging, composable, and continuously evolving growth process.
