Yesterday it was reported that they are rebranding the project and will be moving to the new Boost Inbox platform. You can read more information about the rebranding in this article.

Along with the launch of the new platform, the Boost Pass mint has now launched.

💎“I'm still a firm believer in the idea that gamers will own their gaming assets, but it's going to take a bit longer [than] we had all hoped,” the CEO added. Ryan, who previously worked as a VP at Facebook, launched Aqua in 2022 and partnered with blockchain firms like Immutable and Polygon Labs. Now, after less than two years, the “player-focused” NFT gaming startup has closed its doors. In a graphic attached to the post, Ryan also shared that the startup struggled to raise funds in a broader crypto gaming market with “slower-than-expected growth.” "I'm a strong believer in the category, but sometimes one is just too early," Ryan told Decrypt's GG when reached on Friday.

👮‍♂️ ASIC Takes Action The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) wasted no time and swiftly obtained an interim travel restraint order against Guo. This move aims to ensure he stays put while investigations are underway.

✅ No Passport, No Departure Guo's wings have been clipped as he must now surrender all his passports. This measure is in place until August 20, preventing any attempts to flee the country. His next court appearance is scheduled for March 12.

Now, SiriusXM and their app mostly operate separate from their podcast activities. The main aim of their business is to keep content exclusive and get users onto a single platform. But, podcasts work differently. You make money through ads by spreading the podcast across various platforms. That's where Pandora fits in perfectly—it’s mostly free and runs on ads. So, why didn't they shift Stitcher to Pandora?

Here’s a thought: What if they're planning to combine Pandora and SiriusXM into one mega audio app? Imagine this: an app that's on par with Spotify, offering free content, an ad-free version, and a premium layer for exclusive stuff like SiriusXM radio. Not only would they rake in more from ads, but they'd also boost their ad-free subscriptions, especially considering Pandora's declining numbers.

There are hints that this is coming. After buying Pandora, SiriusXM merged their development teams. Last year, a key figure from Pandora took on a bigger role in SiriusXM. They've even hinted at a possible full-blown merger in the future.

Now, Pandora was once a financial powerhouse, but its user base dropped below 50 million last year, with dwindling ad revenue. Contrastingly, the SiriusXM app's popularity is on the rise. Their CEO, Jennifer Witz, mentioned that while SiriusXM has a range of models, they haven't pinpointed the best one yet. Their core business of paid subscriptions is doing well, and their podcast advertising reach is massive. However, using other platforms for their podcasts limits their data access for targeted ads—a problem Spotify doesn't have with its vast user base.

Pandora and Spotify are rivals in a sense, as Witz mentioned. But given Pandora's falling numbers, it might be time for SiriusXM to fully embrace it, meshing together the best of both platforms.

Now, merging wouldn't be a walk in the park. Pandora’s 47 million users still outweigh SiriusXM app's 32 million. And, merging free, ad-free, and premium content on one platform? That’s uncharted territory. They've announced a brand new app coming soon, so let's see how that turns out!

Quick disclaimer though: While I've been closely watching the Sirius podcast world, this is mostly me connecting the dots and speculating for fun. Don’t take it as gospel; always good to hear more views on this!
