Will Ethereum remain institutions' top choice?

jonahrobrts breaks down the blockchain competition for TradFi's attention 🤼‍♂️

========================================

Disruption. Digitization. Financial inclusion. Future-proofing.

What do all of these oft-repeated buzzwords have in common? They’ve all been used by crypto-pilled associates at TradFi firms to pitch their bosses on the exciting upside of blockchain tech. This year, it seems, the executives are listening.

Institutions jumped into crypto more headlong than ever in 2024. Their moves are starting to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi. However, this article isn’t focused on why firms are building onchain. Instead, we are focusing on where these funds are choosing to build.

----------------------------

What’s Happening on Ethereum?
Ethereum is the world’s largest smart-contract blockchain network. It has secured over $90 billion in RWAs, including stablecoins. 2024 has been a big year for the adoption of non-stablecoin RWAs on Ethereum as well, with the network growing its onchain U.S. treasuries, bonds, and cash equivalents from $800 million to over $1 .5 billion and overall non-stablecoin RWA value to $2 .9 billion.

Some of the major players building on Ethereum this year include
Visa, BlackRock and FTI_US

Earlier this month, Visa announced that they are building the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP) on Ethereum. This is the company’s biggest step toward crypto adoption thus far. VTAP enables Visa to issue and manage fiat-backed tokens on Ethereum. It is intended to be a sandbox for participating financial institutional partners to create and experiment with fiat-backed tokens. They expect to begin piloting the platform with Spanish multinational bank BBVA in 2025. While the VTAP program is certainly an experiment, it gives credit to the thesis that TradFi will migrate its operations onto Ethereum over the coming decades.

----------------------------

Yet, the success of Ethereum’s competitors highlights a critical point: institutions are no longer bound to a single network. While Ethereum is foundational, blockchains like Solana and Stellar provide alternatives that are increasingly hard to ignore. However, they also present novel interoperability concerns.

Interoperability is central to the future of institutional blockchain adoption. As Visa states in their VTAP press release announcement, the largest benefits of building onchain include easy integration, programmability, and interoperability. Institutions that venture onto non-EVM chains like Solana or Stellar may face challenges in asset liquidity and protocol compatibility. This can lead to reliance on third-party services to bridge assets between chains, which introduces complexity and security risks. Ethereum’s widespread use means that staying within the EVM ecosystem—whether through Ethereum or Layer 2 solutions—remains the simplest and most secure option for institutions.

----------------------------

However, for Ethereum to maintain its lead in the race toward institutional adoption, it must continue to balance world-class security and stability with the performance and scalability that competing chains continue to push. The race to capture the attention of institutional finance will be won by the network that can not only meet today’s demands but also anticipate the needs of tomorrow. Ethereum is well-positioned for now, but staying on top will require constant evolution.

The AI x Crypto narrative is on a tear and
bittensor_
's $TAO token is leading the way 🚀

Here's why 👇

======================

As one of the most prominent projects in this space, Bittensor is positioning itself as the project to watch.

At its core, Bittensor is pushing a new frontier: creating a decentralized network where AI models can be trained and shared in a way that aligns incentives for both developers and users.

As the subnet limit is progressively expanded — and eventually removed altogether — the potential for exponential growth within the Bittensor ecosystem becomes clear. More subnets mean more AI models, more collaboration, and more growth for the ecosystem.

Crucially, all this activity increases demand for TAO itself. Since TAO is required to acquire any subnet token, the introduction of dTAO could further fuel its demand, making Bittensor even more attractive to investors.

TAO’s Halving in 2025
Bittensor is approaching its first halving event, slated for late 2025. Much like Bitcoin’s halving cycles, this event will cut the rate at which new TAO tokens are emitted by half.

Currently, the Bittensor network emits 1 TAO as block rewards (7,200 TAO daily) which are distributed among miners, validators, subnet owners, and delegators. However, when the halving occurs (triggered when 10.5 million TAO are in circulation), this emission will be halved to 0.5 TAO per block, reducing the daily supply of new TAO entering the market.

Why does this matter? When the supply of TAO is cut, it introduces scarcity. In any market, reduced supply with steady or rising demand (thanks to increasing subnets and introduction of dTAO) can only lead in one direction: upward.

Now let’s take a look at the macro level things happening in the world of AI that are considered positive for AI x crypto projects like Bittensor.

Issues with OpenAI
OpenAI is at a crossroads. Recently, news broke that OpenAI is transitioning from a non-profit control to a for-profit benefit corporation. Following this restructuring, the company’s valuation has soared to over $150 billion and they’ve raised $6 .6 billion in fresh funding.

Additionally, there’s been recent departures of key executives, including Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati and two other senior executives, raising concerns about potential internal issues.

Nonetheless, there is a broad regulatory squeeze on AI from various jurisdictions worldwide. The fact that centralized AI is subject to regulatory control highlights a fundamental flaw: it's too easy to control.

When a few large companies hold the keys to centralized AI, they become prime targets for government pressure and censorship. This is where decentralized AI platforms, like Bittensor, have the advantage. They cannot be shut down or censored by any single entity, as no one entity controls it.

Closing Thoughts
There’s a lot going right for Bittensor, and the rising token price is just the cherry on top. With existing momentum, the upcoming updates mentioned above, potential EVM support, and ongoing community development – such as the rapid integration of NousResearch’s breakthrough in distributed training into Bittensor – these are all strong indicators of Bittensor’s promise.

In a world where centralized AI is increasingly regulated, censored, and driven by profit motives, Bittensor offers a compelling alternative: a decentralized, community-driven approach that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and shared incentives. And that’s why it’s worth keeping an eye on.

Based Rollups

What are they, why do they exist, and which projects are already making waves?

A 101 explainer 👇

==================================

Scaling #Ethereum has been one of the most discussed challenges in crypto.

To address this, the community chose a rollup-centric approach. The idea is simple: Instead of hosting all applications on Ethereum, the focus is on rollups that offer faster, cheaper transactions while still settling back on Ethereum. As a result, you get faster, cheaper transactions, but still keep Ethereum’s security.

They're bringing more users and value to Ethereum, however, concerns remain about their reliance on centralized sequencers and liquidity fragmentation across chains.

This is where based rollups come in. They integrate more closely with Ethereum's infrastructure, helping retain value within the ecosystem. This new method of building rollups could bring additional value to Ethereum and $ETH .

What are Based rollups?
Based rollups, or L1-sequenced rollups, are a type of rollup where the base L1 chain, like Ethereum, manages transaction sequencing directly.

Unlike traditional rollups that rely on their own sequencers, based rollups tap into the security, liveness, and decentralization of the L1 by outsourcing transaction sequencing to the L1’s infrastructure. This infrastructure includes proposers, searchers, builders, and other actors who permissionlessly include based rollup blocks in L1 blocks.

How do Based rollups work?
Based rollups use the L1 for consensus, data availability, and settlement layers, while handling execution independently. For instance, when Ethereum is the base L1, the key layers of based rollups are as follows:

1. Execution Layer — Managed by the rollup itself, where transactions are executed off-chain.

2. Consensus Layer — Relies on Ethereum validators to sequence transactions.

3. Data Availability Layer — Uses Ethereum as the DA layer to ensure that transaction data is available for validation by anyone.

4. Settlement Layer — Also part of Ethereum, where final transaction states of the rollup are recorded.

Based rollups use Ethereum for everything from ordering transactions to settling them. While this approach may not seem radically different from traditional rollups, it fundamentally shifts how sequencing is handled. Instead of relying solely on separate sequencers, based rollups leverage Ethereum itself for transaction sequencing.

Why based rollups?
As Justin Drake outlined in his original post, based rollups are worth your attention for several reasons:

1. Inherited Liveness and Decentralization — One of the key advantages of based rollups is their ability to inherit the liveness guarantees of the base L1 chain. As long as the L1 is operational, so is the rollup.

2. Economic Alignment with L1 — The economic model of based rollups creates a mutually beneficial relationship with the L1. Priority fees and MEV from these rollups naturally flows to the L1. This synergy doesn’t just add value to the base layer, it also boosts the legitimacy and brand awareness of the rollups themselves, thanks to Ethereum’s community.

3. Cost Efficiency — Outsourcing sequencing to Ethereum reduces development costs, accelerates time to market, and lowers user costs (especially at scale) for based rollups.

However, based rollups have trade-offs. They sacrifice some profitability by relying on Ethereum for sequencing, missing out on priority fees and MEV. Additionally, they contend with Ethereum's inherent challenges, such as slow block times, which can cause latency issues.

There's a real debate that these changes might compromise the simplicity and security that initially made based rollups appealing.

At Solana Breakpoint 2024, Charles d’Haussy, CEO of the dYdX Foundation, discussed the protocols’s upcoming enhancements and muse on Solana’s growth.

While dYdX, one of the crypto industry’s oldest decentralized perpetual exchanges, runs its own sovereign appchain, the platform recently integrated Solana-based assets into its platform.

The move brought greater exposure to a wealth of Solana ecosystem tokens, allowing dYdX traders to express their opinion on assets like $SOL , $JUP , and $WIF .

Drawing on his rich experience in the industry, d’Haussy made fascinating remarks about Solana culture.

Solana Builder Energy
When dYdX governance moved to include more Solana-based assets via a Raydium integration in June, d’Haussy and the dYdX were hesitant to approach the Solana community.

“When we started to reach out to the Solana ecosystem, I was kind of cautious and trying to be gentle, not knowing exactly how we would be welcome for conversations about possible integration”

From an outside perspective, blockchain tribalism formed a perceived barrier to entry. Chain maximalism is a serious obstacle within the industry, which is further exacerbated by obstinate and outspoken communities on social media.

Fortunately, away from the noise and distractions of social media, the teams actually building these ecosystems are eager to collaborate and push the collectively push the industry forward. d’Haussy remarked that the Solana Foundation was welcoming and receptive to working alongside teams from alternative ecosystems in the pursuit of progress.

“We were really warmly welcomed. I think the Solana ecosystem has showed us, you want to connect to the Solana ecosystem and bring more mindshare to the Solana ecosystem via your own chain? How can we help you?… The Solana Foundation has been extremely welcoming, connecting us to plenty of people. And the builders were also very welcoming.”

“Sometimes Twitter makes you think that this is all tribes and they look at each other from afar. But the reality is the real builders and the people which are in the industry long enough and for the long term, they are very friendly and they want to grow the cake for everyone.”

Additionally, d’Haussy asserted that “Solana is like Ethereum five years ago”, highlighting the energy and hunger shown by developers building innovative products. The CEO drew comparisons between the atmosphere of week’s earlier Token 2049 conference and Solana Breakpoint.

“We are just out of three days of Token 2049, which is much more salesy and marketing and towards trading activities, which is really the audience of DYDX. So, that was perfect, we had a blast over there. Suddenly, you wake up the next morning and you're going to Solana Breakpoint.”

“It's a bit of a shock for me because suddenly we are surrounded by devs. So, there is this kind of change of seasons overnight between the projects and the business development atmosphere of Token 2049 and here the business, the atmosphere of building here at Solana.”

Blockchain tribalism is a regrettable obstacle, but easily overcome. As evidenced by dYdX and the Solana, teams from different chains can always find ways to work together in a way that benefits both parties and further advances the space.

Chapter Two Rebrands as ‘Solana Seeker’, Unveiling a Range of New Features and Enhancements
140,000 pre-orders later, Solana Mobile’s next generation web3 smartphone emerges from its ‘stealth phase’.

Solana Mobile, the team behind the wildly popular Solana Saga device, has finally unveiled the eagerly awaited Solana Seeker. The next generation web3 smartphone is slated for release in 2025, offering a host of improved features and benefits.

Following the rampant success of the sellout Solana Saga, Solana Mobile stealth-launched the mysterious ‘Chapter Two’. Despite being light on details, Solana Chapter Two was well-received by the wider crypto-community. Solana Mobile’s next generation device has already been pre-ordered over 140,000 times, with recipients eager to get their hands on fresh Solana hardware.

Both the Solana Saga and the Seeker, formerly ‘Chapter Two’ have been embraced by Solana’s mobile development community. Saga owners and Seeker Genesis token holders have been generously rewarded with a litany of airdrops, as well as a vast selection of dApps and features designed exclusively for the Solana Seeker ahead of the device’s launch.

Since its inception, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has been one of Solana Mobile’s staunchest advocates. Championing mobile devices and services as a key area of growth for the network, Yakovenko contends that the Seeker will improve on the standards set by the Saga at more accessible prices.

“We founded Solana Mobile with the mission of taking crypto mobile. To achieve that, we needed to make Seeker more accessible, more affordable, and for its hardware and software to be even more deeply integrated for web3. The support from across the Solana community so far has been incredible, and with features like the new Seed Vault Wallet and the updated Solana dApp Store, we think Seeker will be the definitive web3 mobile device when it comes out next year.” - Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana Labs co-founder

What new features can users expect from the Saga’s highly-anticipated successor?

New Phone, New Features
While the full range of improvements and hardware specifications is yet to be announced, Solana Mobile has teased the following features for the upcoming Seeker:

Seed Vault Wallet - The Seeker comes complete with a built-in self-custodial Seed Vault to provide a frictionless web3 mobile experience. Designed exclusively for the Seeker in collaboration with Solflare, the Seed Vault support double-tap transactions and simplified account management.

Solana Mobile dApp Store - Competing directly with the Apple/Google duopoly, the Solana Mobile dApp Store debuts a compelling new rewards tracker and offers enhanced discoverability for DeFi, NFTs, DePIN, Gaming, and Payments applications.

Seeker Genesis Token - A soulbound NFT, the Seeker Genesis Token is a non-transferrable asset that gives holders exclusive access to rewards, content and opportunities throughout Solana’s thriving ecosystem.

Enhanced Hardware - Seeker promises a dramatically improved build quality, boasting a superior camera, extended battery life, a lighter design, and a brighter display than its predecessor.

With 2025 just around the corner, the launch and distribution of Solana Seeker may come sooner than expected. Given the generous incentives and rewards enjoyed by Solana holders, the Solana community awaits the launch of Solana Seeker with bated breath.

Jupiter, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana, made a series of major announcements today at Solana Breakpoint 2024, the Solana ecosystem's largest annual conference. These updates include the acquisition of SolanaFM, the second-largest explorer on Solana, and Coinhall, the leading aggregator across Cosmos.

Co-founder Siong delivered a keynote address outlining the ambitious roadmap ahead for Jupiter.

Metropolis API Platform
Building on the foundation of Jupiter's existing APIs (Swap, Tokens, and Price APIs), the Metropolis API Platform makes it easier for developers to integrate with all of Solana's liquidity and build sustainable businesses. Anyone with an internet connection can leverage these APIs to streamline development and create innovative applications on Solana.

Jupiter RFQ
Deepening liquidity on Solana by connecting market makers directly to Jupiter's routing engine. This innovative feature allows market makers who primarily use exchanges like Binance to easily provide liquidity on Solana, ensuring that Jupiter consistently offers the best prices.

Jupiter Perps V2

Perps V2 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering a richer feature set, competitive fees, and unmatched reliability. This new version introduces limit orders, a revamped Doves oracle for enhanced pricing accuracy, and gasless transactions, ensuring a seamless and cost-effective trading experience.

With Perps V2, traders can benefit from the convenience of limit orders, the reliability of the Dove oracle, and the efficiency of gasless transactions, all backed by $600 million in JLP liquidity. This combination makes Solana the most compelling platform for perpetual contracts.

Jupiter Mobile
Jupiter Mobile is poised to revolutionize how people interact with Solana by offering a frictionless and intuitive user experience. It simplifies the onboarding process, making Solana accessible to everyone regardless of their technical expertise. Users can easily connect their existing wallets or use popular payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards. Additionally, Jupiter Mobile eliminates the need for complex seed phrases, making it easy for new users to get started.

The platform also offers zero platform fees, ensuring that users can enjoy cost-effective transactions without worrying about hidden charges. With its 1-tap swap feature, users can effortlessly swap tokens with just a single click, streamlining the trading process.

Ape Pro: Taking on Pump.fun
Jupiter is now making moves to capture the meme coin market by taking on the popular Pump.fun, a no-code meme coin creation platform.

Ape Pro, a massive upgrade to the existing Ape platform, is set to make meme coins fun again on Solana. It will offer a powerful, mobile-friendly trading suite that supports social logins and an easy-to-use token creation experience.

Ape Pro stands out from its competitors, such as Pump.fun, by offering lower trading fees, a seamless mobile experience, faster transactions with Google login, and a robust token creation process. With a competitive 0.5% trading fee, Ape Pro provides a cost-effective solution for traders. Its mobile optimization ensures a smooth and efficient experience on the go, while Google login simplifies the onboarding process, eliminating the need for complex seed phrases. Additionally, Ape Mint, a feature within Ape Pro, allows users to easily mint new tokens, lock liquidity for project credibility, and earn perpetual swap fees, creating a sustainable revenue stream and combatting the current PVP model in the meme coin ecosystem.

Acquisitions Signal Growth and Ambition
Jupiter's acquisition of SolanaFM, a critical infrastructure provider for the Solana ecosystem, underscores the company's commitment to strengthening it. This move will enable Jupiter to leverage SolanaFM's world-class data infrastructure to enhance its platform further.

Solana’s iconic memecoin scene is restructuring. Frustrated by the rampant oversaturation of token launches and a litany of extractive practices, memecoin traders are reevaluating their approach..

Liquidity has evaporated from the memecoin economy, causing dramatic price fluctuations across the board. Abandoning smaller caps, the remaining traders have solidified positions in established coins.

The collapse of smaller memecoins has led market participants to explore alternative trading strategies and take advantage of emerging DeFi applications.

Memecoin Leverage Trading Apps Gain Popularity
Losing patience with the frequent scams, rugpulls, and pump-and-dumps popular on platform’s like pump.fun, Solana meme coin traders are eager for a new meta. The oversaturation of new launches has worn the patience of even the most committed degens, drawing attention back to established memecoins.

Despite their relatively short lifespan, Solana’s veteran memecoins have birthed devout and resilient communities. While these established memecoins remain volatile, their relative stability compared to new launches has seen coins like $POPCAT , $GIGA , and $MUMU enjoy renewed interest and capital rotates away from new launches.

However, these popular coins have arguably already completed the bulk of their run. To maximize potential profits through these coins, traders are turning to applications like Lavarage to add additional weight to their positions.

Adding a layer of dynamism to the memecoin economy, Lavarage supports margin trading positions on over 400 Solana memecoins.

With Lavarage, traders can increase the size of their positions, amplifying their profit and loss. This approach breathes new life into established memecoins and gives traders a new tool in this compelling market.

Ironically, implementing leverage trading into memecion markets might actually make them safer. Traders could be compelled to speculate on established coins, rather than gamble on new pump.fun launches and hope that the coin they’ve chosen is one of the 1.38% that graduate to Raydium.

Lavarage Partners with Backpack - Boosting Rewards
After launching in mid-August, Lavarage’s Tephra Rewards campaign has kicked into gear following its collaboration with Backpack wallet.

Lavarage users who access the application and execute trades via the Backpack will benefit from a 10% points boost. Tephra points are expected to play a key role in determining airdrop allocations ahead of Lavarage’s anticipated TGE (Token Generation Event).

An Unexpected Airdrop?
In a bid to further reward users, Lavarage has partnered with the $NAMI memecoin to distribute $1 ,500 of $NAMI to traders. Over the course of the campaign, 5,325,000 $NAMI will be proportionally airdropped to users as follows:

$1000 worth of $NAMI to users who trade $NAMI with leverage

$500 worth of $NAMI to users who trade any other token with leverage

Currently, Leverage only allows traders to open long positions on its extensive list of tradable assets.

However, moderators in the Lavarage Discord server have indicated that “we have a good idea of how shorting can be implemented”, before conceding that the team “do not have any immediate plan to roll that out

The bulls are in charge as markets pump 🐂📈

But can J Pow really stick that Goldilocks landing to secure that full-on bull market?

What you should know 👇

========================================

Bulls appear to be firmly in control as the market prices in the “Goldilocks” landing scenario following Wednesday's major rate cut announcement.

What’s the Scoop?

✂️ Fed Cuts: Wednesday, America’s Federal Reserve announced a 50 bps (0.5%) decrease to its benchmark short-term policy rate in the central bank’s first instance of monetary easing during the post-Covid era.

📊 Volatile Regime: While markets initially rallied on confirmation of the telegraphed Fed cuts, they gave back the gains headed into the U.S. close and finished out that first day red. Although the bullish impulse from Fed cuts didn’t transpire until after the close, the broad market S&P 500 opened 1.5% higher today, the index’s strongest overnight gain since 2022 and its largest gap up opening to new all-time highs in at least 35 years.

🌼 Achieving Goldilocks: High interest rates were tough on the economy, but they were seen as necessary to control the big inflation that hit in 2022. Now that inflation has slowed down a lot in recent months, the Fed can start easing up on its monetary policies. Despite some softening in the labor market, numbers aren't pointing to imminent disaster, and global central bankers remain supremely confident they can keep unemployment from rising too much without causing more inflation through carefully calculated interest rate cuts.

📢 Bankless Take: The best mix of conditions seems to be coming together, boosting economic optimism and giving the green light for bulls to push markets to new all-time highs. While investors will see tanking inflation data as bullish and shrug off deteriorating labor conditions in the weeks ahead thanks to renewed confidence in the Fed Put, an unexpected turn for the worse will swiftly give way to serious recession concerns.

Co-founder Siong delivered a keynote address outlining the ambitious roadmap ahead for Jupiter.

METROPOLIS API PLATFORM
Building on the foundation of Jupiter's existing APIs (Swap, Tokens, and Price APIs), the Metropolis API Platform makes it easier for developers to integrate with all of Solana's liquidity and build sustainable businesses. Anyone with an internet connection can leverage these APIs to streamline development and create innovative applications on Solana.

JUPITER RFQ
Deepening liquidity on Solana by connecting market makers directly to Jupiter's routing engine. This innovative feature allows market makers who primarily use exchanges like Binance to easily provide liquidity on Solana, ensuring that Jupiter consistently offers the best prices.

JUPITER PERPS V2
Redefining perpetual contracts on Solana with enhanced features, competitive fees, and unparalleled reliability.

Perps V2 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering a richer feature set, competitive fees, and unmatched reliability. This new version introduces limit orders, a revamped Doves oracle for enhanced pricing accuracy, and gasless transactions, ensuring a seamless and cost-effective trading experience.

With Perps V2, traders can benefit from the convenience of limit orders, the reliability of the Dove oracle, and the efficiency of gasless transactions, all backed by $600 million in JLP liquidity. This combination makes Solana the most compelling platform for perpetual contracts.

JUPITER MOBILE
Jupiter Mobile is poised to revolutionize how people interact with Solana by offering a frictionless and intuitive user experience. It simplifies the onboarding process, making Solana accessible to everyone regardless of their technical expertise. Users can easily connect their existing wallets or use popular payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards. Additionally, Jupiter Mobile eliminates the need for complex seed phrases, making it easy for new users to get started.

The platform also offers zero platform fees, ensuring that users can enjoy cost-effective transactions without worrying about hidden charges. With its 1-tap swap feature, users can effortlessly swap tokens with just a single click, streamlining the trading process.

APE PRO: TAKING ON Pump.fun
Jupiter is now making moves to capture the meme coin market by taking on the popular Pump.fun, a no-code meme coin creation platform.

Ape Pro stands out from its competitors, such as Pump.fun, by offering lower trading fees, a seamless mobile experience, faster transactions with Google login, and a robust token creation process. With a competitive 0.5% trading fee, Ape Pro provides a cost-effective solution for traders. Its mobile optimization ensures a smooth and efficient experience on the go, while Google login simplifies the onboarding process, eliminating the need for complex seed phrases. Additionally, Ape Mint, a feature within Ape Pro, allows users to easily mint new tokens, lock liquidity for project credibility, and earn perpetual swap fees, creating a sustainable revenue stream and combatting the current PVP model in the meme coin ecosystem.

Jupiter emphasized the company's dedication to making Solana even more awesome. "Solana is already the best. And we're here to make using Solana even more awesome," he said. "Today's updates signal our strong commitment to building the platform, team, and community needed to drive it forward."

🇺🇸 US lawmakers Tom Emmer and Patrick McHenry ask Gary Gensler to clarify the agency's position on crypto airdrops.

“As you know, the philosophy of crypto and blockchain technology is based on decentralization.”

"Yet the SEC's regulatory approach appears to make the goal of decentralization impossible to achieve."

“By prohibiting Americans from participating in aurdrops, the SEC is preventing American cryptocurrency users from fully realizing the benefits of blockchain technology.”

“The SEC’s approach during your tenure has only ensured that the next iteration of the internet will not be designed by Americans or with American values, which is not in the best interests of our constituents.”

Sentiment is down, and critics have been quick to point out ETH's underperformance against SOL while largely attributing this to a perceived loss of mindshare and users to L2s.

This narrative has sparked a crucial debate: Are L2s Ethereum?

arjunnchand
brings the analysis...

========================================

🤔 Symbiotic or Separatist?
L2s have been a core component of Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap from the very beginning. They were envisioned as extensions (technical and cultural) of Ethereum, designed to expand its capabilities and attract a broader user base.

At their core, L2s are deeply linked with Ethereum. They share its DNA — relying on ETH as the currency, benefitting from Ethereum's security blanket, and utilizing it for data storage and settlement. It's like a startup leveraging its parent company's infrastructure and brand recognition, a win-win for both.

The symbiotic relationship between L2s and Ethereum is undeniable. L2s thrive on Ethereum's infrastructure and security, while Ethereum benefits from the increased activity and increased demand for ETH, making it a better store of value.

By offering lower fees and faster transaction times, L2s have made it easier for developers to build different types of applications. Look at the explosion of memecoins on Base or the rise of SocialFi platforms like Farcaster creating new markets for users.

Beyond that, L2s are becoming major hubs for DeFi activity, and ETH, the asset, is at the heart of this ecosystem. Look at the numbers:
arbitrum
,
Optimism
,
@base
— these chains are dominated by ETH-related assets.

🧛‍♂️ Vampire attack?
However, one of the primary arguments against the rollup-centric approach to scaling Ethereum is the assumption that L2s may not continue to rely on Ethereum. Sure, L2s and Ethereum seem like a happy family now. But what if L2s build their own empires and ditch Ethereum altogether? No more relying on Ethereum for security, no more ETH as gas, not even needing Ethereum's block space.

This "L2s go rogue" fear is a legitimate concern. Technically, they could build independent ecosystems with their own validators as they would then be able to own the entire modular blockchain stack. So, is this the future – a messy breakup between L2s and Ethereum? Not necessarily.

We can all agree that there are perhaps a few too many L2s. Too many copycats. Too little differentiation. It's like a thousand startups chasing the same market, all promising the same thing. This isn't healthy.

What we need are L2s that matter. L2s that offer something unique, something that sets them apart. Security, app diversity, GTM strategy — these are the areas where we need to see real innovation.

But we must be wary of ‘echo chambers’. These zones of chains should not become isolated universes. A healthy L2 ecosystem is one where chains work together, not in isolation. We need bridges, not moats.

We need collaboration. We need communication. We need education. We need incentives. We need to build shared infrastructure and standards that foster seamless connectivity across L2s. Only then can we truly win together.

💭 Closing Thoughts
You can say that L2s aren’t Ethereum. You can argue L2s aren’t even extensions of Ethereum. But you cannot deny the fact that L2s enhance the utility of Ethereum and ETH.

The "L2s vs. Ethereum" debate is a false dichotomy. This isn't a zero-sum game. Ultimately, Ethereum and L2s are in this together. Let's build a future where Ethereum and L2s thrive as a symbiotic whole, and push the crypto ecosystem forward.

Crypto markets have suffered noticeable pullbacks following September 10’s highly anticipated presidential debate.

In the wake of self-proclaimed ‘Crypto President’ Donald Trump’s performance, scales have tipped in favor of Kamala Harris, with prediction markets illustrating renewed support for the Democrats.

Crypto Markets Tumble as Republican Confidence Wanes
The presidential debate had a resounding effect on the digital asset market. Following the event, $SOL price has dropped 5.1%, sliding from September 10’s high of $137 .9 to currently trade hands at $130 .84.

Beyond asset prices, CoinMarketCap’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index also dropped from a neutral 46.72 to a fearful ranking of 31.6.

The crypto market’s slide is expected to be due to the wider industry’s assumption that a Trump presidency will be favorable for the blockchain industry.

Commentators argue that Trump’s pro-crypto stance will greatly benefit the sector, with many analysts proposing that the approval of a spot SOL ETF hinges on a Republican victory. Meanwhile, some Solana community members expressed that regardless of who emerges triumphant in November, it will make little difference.

Over the past four years, the Biden administration has loomed large over the crypto industry. Gary Gensler and the S.E.C. (Securities and Exchanges Commission) have been widely criticized by the crypto community for their regulation-by-enforcement approach, which has seen the agency hand out a litany of lawsuits to crypto businesses throughout its time in office.

Volume Spikes on Drift Protocol’s Prediction Market
While Trump and Harris clashed heads on camera, traders took their chance to hit the prediction markets. Drift Protocol’s BET platform, a marketplace enabling users to trade the outcomes of real-world events, enjoyed an impressive surge of trading volume during the debate.

According to Dune Analytics, Drift Protocol’s BET protocol witnessed over $851k in daily trading volume. While falling short of market leader PolyMarket’s $14M daily volume, BET’s dramatic volume spike represented a 1,287% increase over the previous day’s trading.

According to BET’s dedicated market, Trump’s chances of winning the presidential election dropped from 54.2% to 49.5% since the debate began.

$TREMP Down, $KAMA Up
Finally, the landmark debate sent waves of volatility through Solana’s PolitiFi memecoin economy.

Unfortunately for $TREMP holders, crypto markets rejected the Presidential hopeful’s debate performance. $TREMP price crumbled under increased selling pressure, plunging 28% from.19 to currently exchange hands at.135, based on Step Finance data.

Meanwhile, the Kamala Harris-inspired $KAMA saw renewed support. $KAMA surged over 34%, rising from 0.007 to currently trade at.0094. Despite $KAMA’s superior performance, the memecoin still has a smaller market cap ($8.3M) than its PolitiFi rival $TREMP ($14.2M).

Prices may be down, but Grayscale's making bull market bets if you know where to look.

These are the assets that have caught the attention of Crypto's Wall Street whisperer 👇

========================================

When Grayscale announces a new Trust for a particular asset, the market often reacts with a mix of excitement and skepticism.

It's a bit like a double-edged sword: a signal of saturation for some and a beacon of hope for others.

Some might interpret the launch as a sign that the market for that asset is reaching saturation or at least limited upside potential in crypto terms.

On the one hand, it’s a stamp of approval from a major player in the crypto space. It can lend legitimacy to the asset, potentially attracting institutional investors, and, at the very least, boost media coverage.

Grayscale has been adding new investment products at a faster clip, showcasing their conviction that we’re in the middle innings of a crypto bull market fueled by a grand slam of bullish signals: #Bitcoin ETF inflows, the long-awaited $ETH ETF launch, increasing stablecoin adoption, and steady growth in TVL across DeFi.

As a quiet giant in the industry, investors continue to watch what Grayscale is backing and what that says about their impressions of which direction the industry is headed. What assets have caught their attention lately? Let's find out. 👇

----------------------------------------------------------

Grayscale Decentralized AI Fund (FIL, NEAR, RNDR, LPT, TAO)

Grayscale Bittensor Trust (TAO)
Bittensor envisions a world where AI isn't a tool in the hands of a few corporations but a resource democratized for all. It aims to create an "Internet of AI" where everyone can contribute and benefit from AI models. $TAO incentivizes participants to contribute to the network by providing rewards for tasks like validating models and running AI computations.

As the AI race among big tech companies heats up, Grayscale believes that Bittensor offers a compelling alternative approach towards AI development, one that encourages a wider range of participants and ideas.

Grayscale SUI Trust (SUI)
$Sui boasts a novel blockchain design that prioritizes scalability and user experience. It allows for parallel processing, tackling multiple transactions simultaneously.
SuiNetwork
's competitive edge comes down to its custom-built programming language, Sui Move, which streamlines smart contract development and execution.

As the need for blockspace and faster execution in crypto increases, Grayscale believes that Sui opens the door to a new wave of decentralized applications that were previously limited by existing blockchain infrastructure.

The Grayscale Effect
Overall, the impact of a Grayscale Trust launch is highly subjective to the specific asset. By no means does it signify that the asset is destined for greatness. Take the Grayscale Decentraland Trust (MANA), for instance.

The key takeaway is that Grayscale's bullish outlook on crypto is evident in its recent product launches. They believe we're currently in a bull market and are positioning themselves accordingly.

BullVerse Update

BullPad
There have been numerous inquiries regarding BullPad, and we would like to address them. After careful consideration, the team has decided that launching BullPad at this time would not be beneficial. The market sentiment remains highly bearish, trading volumes across financial markets are low, and overall uncertainty persists. Furthermore, Pump.fun’s volume has decreased by 95% from its all-time high. All signs indicate that this is not the ideal time to release a launchpad. However, we remain fully committed to launching it when market conditions are more favorable.

BullPay
BullPay is currently in beta (available at bullpay.fun). As well-needed solution in the space, it is connected to a lot of upcoming features inisde the platform. BullPay will serve not only as a marketplace but also as a crypto payment gateway, like Stripe or PayPal for crypto transactions. We developed an API kit allowing our partners to get paid from their website or mobile app.

Activity Rewards & User Experience
We are still working on developing a sustainable, more gamified and automated solution for activity rewards. Once this is finalized, we will announce it, and automated payouts will resume.

The BullVerse Ecosystem
It’s important to note that BullVerse is a long-term project. We are continually enhancing user, partner, and community engagement. As with any major project, development will unfold progressively rather than all at once.

Communication
The team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to improve the BullVerse ecosystem daily. Many individuals are involved, and significant resources have been invested in this project. Our commitment is unwavering, and we continue to expand our network by forming strategic partnerships, which are crucial for long-term growth. The vision is clear and we are enjoying the journey.

Teasers
Our primary focus has been on laying a strong foundation by creating a stable platform that incorporates both incentives and crypto utilities. Our main goal is to deliver a clear and practical use case that attracts the visibility BullVerse deserves. As a utility project, we view this as a key driver of our success: BullVerse should not just be about content, but also a hub where crypto enthusiasts can speculate, win, lose, be rewarded, and find their community. Something exciting is coming very soon..

Bullish times are ahead,
The BullVerse Team

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO DePIN GROWTH??
In a recent appearance at ETHToronto, Frank Mathis highlights the next steps for DePIN’s future.

GenesysGo founder Frank Mathis is no stranger to the highs and lows of crypto’s thriving DePIN sector.

Drawing on his years of experience, Mathis joined other DePIN thought leaders at ETHToronto, including Helium COO Scott Sigel, to discuss the future of the sector.

“If DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable”
Like many passionate crypto community members, DePIN advocates staunchly argue that DePIN is inevitable. Speaking to hundreds of crypto enthusiasts at ETHToronto, Mathis offered a refreshing point of view.

The GenesysGo founder argues that value creation for contributors is one of the most integral aspects of running successful DePIN networks. Mathis highlighted that, while DePIN promises to reward contributors as decentralized software scales, “it’s shocking how much of that is running on AWS and Google Cloud.”

For example, over 50% of Ethereum node operators are hosted on AWS, Hetzner, and OVH servers.

Reiterating the importance of wealth creation for contributors, Mathis contends “what DePIN really is, is an attempt to take one of the most centralized layers of the stack and decentralize that amongst the people such that they start to participate in the growth and success of these models.”

GenesysGo’s ShdwDrive is one such example. The decentralized storage solution empowers users to earn $SHDW tokens by providing unused mobile storage to a distributed network, directly generating income from a device that lives in their pocket.

Reflecting the ideal DePIN model proposed by Mathis, network contributors benefit from the growth and success of the platform. The GenesysGo founder reinforced this notion, opining “DePIN is only as inevitable as the value that participants in the network get from it… if DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable.”

POOR PERFORMANCE “ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAILINGS OF DePIN”
On paper, the benefits of DePINs are obvious. However, in practice, these platforms often sacrifice performance and scalability in favor of decentralization. While this aids in value creation for contributors and increases security, it actually hamstrings performance and growth.

DePIN is often considered the natural evolution of the sharing economy, which delivered iconic businesses like Uber and Airbnb.

Drawing parallels between the pearls of the sharing economy and emerging DePIN projects, Mathis illustrated that “Uber became highly successful, not just because you’re able to share in pieces of things you don’t use everyday.. but because it worked well, it was fast, it was easy to use.”

Mathis argues that for DePIN projects to truly take off, they need to rival the performance standards set by centralized industry leaders. Referencing his experience with GenesysGo, the founder posits “in our case, our first principle [is] decentralized storage needs to be as fast, as secure, as stable, and perform every bit as well as a traditional Web2 cloud service.”

ABSTRACTION IS KEY
The Web3 user experience has long been considered one of the industry’s biggest obstacles to adoption. The complexities of wallet management and security have discouraged newcomers to space for over a decade, and continue to repel potential users today.

Mathis insists that abstracting the end-user experience away from blockchain technology is key to the success of the industry. Reinforcing this belief, the founder affirms “Your end user shouldn’t know that they’re interacting with Web3”

Looking towards the future, Mathis considers DePIN regulation will present a significant obstacle to the sector’s growth. However, instead of taking a chagrined approach to future regulatory concerns, the GenesysGo founder suggests that DePIN projects need to take on some responsibility.

BIG SUPPLY, BIG PROBLEMS AS SOLANA’S NFT MARKET REJECTS LARGE COLLECTIONS

Fresh minting mechanics are bringing greater security to Solana NFTs, but new mints and large collections struggle to garner attention and are trading below mint price.

New NFT collections have learned a painful lesson this week. If it wasn’t obvious due to stagnant floor prices and diminishing trade volume, launching a fresh collection in these conditions is a difficult task.

Despite commentators claiming these hyped collections will usher in a “new era” and whitelist spots selling at over $50 apiece on open markets, launches from Pathfinders and Hermans have failed to meet expectations.

Will Solana’s NFT market ever witness another successful 10,000 NFT collection? Or are small supplies the only way of conserving value?

ONLY 21% OF PATHFINDER'S RISK-FREE NFTs MINTED

Despite proposing a new, risk-free method of launching Solana NFTs, the Pathfinders collection faces difficulty minting out. At press time, only 2,125/10,000 NFTs have been minted, falling well short of expectations.

Pathfinder’s novel LST-backed NFT collection launched with noble intentions. Providing an alternative mechanic that aims to protect minters, the collection has launched Solana’s first un-ruggable NFTs.

Unlike standard NFT mints, Pathfinders NFTs are minted using pathSOL, the project’s native liquid staking token. Holders reserve the right to redeem their NFT for the underlying pathSOL used to mint the asset, essentially securing the NFT’s value at a minimum of 2pathSOL.

Regardless, Solana’s NFT community has largely ignored the project’s novel approach to minting. Supporters of the new mechanic took to social media to express their disappointment with the NFT community’s apparent apathy. 

Commentators noted that network participants have collectively poured thousands of SOL into extractive and malicious actors, but are unwilling to support builders providing meaningful alternatives.

‘Hyped’ New Mint Immediately Under Floor - Are Presales to Blame?

Boasting a sold-out presale that constituted 55% of the total supply, the Hermans NFT collection suffered a similar fate. Priced at 1.5 SOL per NFT, Hermans struggled to attract interest during the public mint, forcing the team to take drastic action.

Hermans trading on secondary marketplaces like Tensor and Magic Eden was locked until the mint was complete, meaning holders were unable to list their assets. The team took it upon themselves to buy all unminted assets. The Hermans’ treasury now holds over 1,600 NFTs, roughly 33% of the supply.

Almost immediately, the collection began trading beneath mint price as presales and regretful minters clamored to liquidate their holdings for SOL. Hermans currently exchange hands at 0.84 SOL, down 44% from the original mint price.

While poor NFT market conditions are a significant contributor to the recent slew of disappointing NFT launches, social media commentators have argued that NFT presales are also to blame.

Low Supply NFT Collections Retain Value

In recent years, NFT markets have witnessed countless large supply collections suffer devastating downtrends. 

Top Solana collections like Mad Lads, Tensorians (pictured), and Claynosaurs have all endured significant drawdowns, while dozens of less-resilient projects have effectively plummeted to zero.

Comparatively, low supply and 1/1 NFT collections have retained their value remarkably well. Limited supply art collections like Boogles, Dead King Society, and The SixNine are typically only available through OTC deals and have maintained comparatively stable floors, regardless of SOL price fluctuations.

Arguably, this suggests that the most valuable utility NFTs offer is access to exclusive communities. Alternatively, it could also indicate that low-supply collections with low market liquidity create an elite sense of perceived value, which has supported the valuations of these co

US LIQUID MONEY SUPPLY - $USM2 Indicator

➡️ From January 2010 to January 2020, the US M2 money supply increased by $6 .7 billion, from $8 .5 billion to $15 .2 billion, an increase of +78%.

👉 Then, between January 2020 and April 2022, the M2 money supply jumped by $6 .4 billion, recording an increase of +41% in just two years, almost as much as over the entire previous decade!

📈 To watch in the coming months: depending on the decisions that will be taken to stimulate the economy or control inflation, a further expansion of the M2 money supply could lead to an influx of capital into financial markets, which could notably benefit cryptos, as during the COVID period.
