Dequency, the decentralized application (dApp) based on Algorand, the project behind altcoin ALGO, has raised funds from investors, including two of Elon Musk’s brothers.

Indirect investment in altcoin projects from Elon Musk’s brothers
Dequency is known for providing decentralized licensing, the equivalent of Bitcoin’s unreliable payments. Dequency eliminates the need for third-party music licensing processes. By removing an unnecessary middleman, artists can get a larger share of revenue. George Howard, co-founder of Dequency. “Licensing music to film, television or other apps in 2022 is now like booking a trip in 1975; inefficient, full of unnecessary middlemen/rent-seekers and closed to those who can’t get through the corporate gatekeepers.” David Garcia, CEO of Borderless Capital, used the following statements:
Music was a part of the metaverse world even before the existence of Blockchain. We’re really excited to join Dequency and support its vision of local on-chain music sync licensing, powering the entire creator’s economy and taking it to the next level.
Hidden in the announcement was the fact that two of the investors in the round were Kimbal and Tosca Musk. This isn’t Kimbal’s first foray into the crypto world. In November, it announced an investment in a DAO-based charity. Tosca Musk, on the other hand, is not very interested in Blockchain-based businesses. Elon’s sister is the CEO of romance-themed streaming service PassionFlix. Fans believe the investment news is the bullish catalyst for the Algorand price.
ALGO price remains flat
Meanwhile, Algorand’s token ALGO is trading at $0.94, down 4%. The cryptocurrency has retreated from $1.01 to these levels. While ALGO has lost 8.7 percent over the past 7 days, it has gained 2.3 percent in the last 14 days. The coin is trading as much as 70 percent below its all-time high of $3.56.
