Author: Jocy, IOSGVC Founder Source: https://twitter.com/JinzhouLin/status/1732233990873264271 1、Scale Growth Resulting from Effective Regulation With Binance’s regulatory episode comes to a conclusion, many perceive it as negative news for the industry — a process of “Crypto’s biggest unicorn ultimately compromising with regulation.” However, from my perspective, it signifies the removal of the biggest potential risk area. The overall industry risk is now manageable, moving towards a regulated market direction. This is expected to accelerate the approval and implementation of ETFs. Envisioning the future: Currently, CME trading volume constitutes over 25% of the entire BTC Futures (confirming the speculation of significant institutional entry). With the weakening of U.S. regulations, BTC’s trading volume on compliant exchanges like Binance/Coinbase is poised to dominate the market share.

The beginning of the bull? How the NFT Marketplace Competitive Landscape Has Changed

Image
Author: defioasis In the past month, as the Crypto market overall has shown signs of recovery, the mainstream NFT market place s have welcomed their first four consecutive weeks of positive growth in trading volume for the second half of this year, (a feat last seen from the end of January to mid-February) with trading volumes nearly doubling. This growth is significantly higher than the rise in the value of ETH, indicating an increase in the volume of transactions in ETH. On the other hand, the prices of blue-chip NFTs have also seen a rebound, with BAYC returning above the 30 ETH mark, and Azuki seeing an increase of over 17% in the past month.

Without taking on explicit leverage, inves...

Image
Author: defioasis On August 10th, Base on-chain social application friend tech caused a sensation in community, with users clamoring for invitation codes to join. Tens of thousands of users poured into this new L2 network. However, this good fortune didn’t last long; the popularity sustained for less than three days before friend techs’ activity took a cliff-like dive. Just when everyone thought it had silently exited the stage of history, friend tech boldly returned with news of a seed round of financing from the top crypto vc, Paradigm.
