On Nov 29, IOTA announced the launch of the $100 million distributed ledger technology (DLT) foundation regulated with the Abu Dhabi Global Market, called the IOTA foundation. 

Per the announcement, the new foundation will be based in Abu Dhabi and the company will invest $100 million worth of IOTA tokens in its seed round. The assets will be vested for four years with the main aim of building the IOTA ecosystem.

According to data provided by the market intelligence platform Santiment, the recent announcement has triggered a massive boost to IOTA’s social activity. The asset’s social volume witnessed a 1,745% rally in the past 24 hours, per Santiment data.

Moreover, IOTA’s total open interest (OI) has been constantly rising since Nov. 21. According to Santiment, IOTA’s total OI rose from $8.7 million on Nov. 27 to $8.8 million a day later. However, there’s no real-time data to show the exact OI of the token.

In late January this year, the European Union selected IOTA for the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement to test the blockchain technology.
