Daily Brief Crypto: Decentraland and more

By | Crypto, Daily Briefs

In today’s briefing:

  • Decentraland
  • DeFi Options Protocols Series (#2): The Story of David and Goliath?

Decentraland

By Etherbridge

  • At the beginning of last year, we wrote about the idea of a Metaverse and what it may look like.
  • Little did we know there would be such excitement and adoption within 2021 alone, with even huge companies like Facebook changing their name to Meta.
  • This brought the idea of a Metaverse into the mainstream as nothing had before; it also catapulted two of the largest blockchain-based Metaverses, Decentraland and The Sandbox, into the limelight and significantly increased user adoption of the networks.

DeFi Options Protocols Series (#2): The Story of David and Goliath?

By Alec Tseung

  • DeFi options protocol’s TVL dropped significantly over the past three months since the collapse of Terra/Luna and amid a series of crypto platforms’ liquidations and withdrawal freezes.
  • Albeit this, the three protocols we highlighted in our first note have shown no signs of slowing down in terms of launching new updates and products.
  • DeFi options protocols are still at the beginning of their development and need to see to some of their own issues before being able to challenge CeFi/Deribit.

In today’s briefing:

  • #33 To be or not to be a security
  • Sporting Crypto – August 1st 2022: Immortalising Geoff Hurst’s Memories Using NFTs

#33 To be or not to be a security

By Carbono Insights

  • To be or not to be a security. The question of whether cryptocurrencies are securities or commodities (or another type of asset, for that matter) does not have a final answer yet.
  • However, it has been on the table for a long time.
  • Commodities are interchangeable goods, and securities are financial assets, in a dangerously short definition.

Sporting Crypto – August 1st 2022: Immortalising Geoff Hurst’s Memories Using NFTs

By Sporting Crypto

  • Most sport athlete NFT projects are awful.
  • But this project, that immortalises legendary England striker Geoff Hurst’s memories – in NFT form – is pretty awesome.
  • World Cup Winner Geoff Hurst is digitally preserving his memories of the 1966 World Cup Final for The Everlasting Memory Project in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Sporting Crypto – July 25th 2022: RTFKT & Nike Push the ‘Phygital’ Boundaries

In today’s briefing:

  • Ethereum Block Explorer: Part One
  • Binance Names 27 Projects in Latest Blockchain Incubator Cohort

Ethereum Block Explorer: Part One

By Etherbridge

  • This week we continue with our Bear Market Tactics series and follow on from last week, where we dived into how to use a Bitcoin block explorer. 
  • This week we will investigate how to use an Ethereum block explorer and explain its account-based accounting model. 
  • As mentioned last week, using a blockchain explorer isn’t necessarily an activity or tool that you use specifically during bear markets; however, these market downturns provide us with an opportunity to understand and master them. 

Binance Names 27 Projects in Latest Blockchain Incubator Cohort

  • BNB Chain, the blockchain ecosystem developed by crypto exchange Binance, announced that it has selected 27 projects for the fifth cohort of its Most Valuable Builder (MVB) incubation program.

Daily Brief Crypto: Bear Market Plays – Crypto Exchange Tokens and more

By | Crypto, Daily Briefs

In today’s briefing:

  • Bear Market Plays – Crypto Exchange Tokens

Bear Market Plays – Crypto Exchange Tokens

By Rose Choy

  • We use a simple framework to analyse 3 exchange tokens’ value and we find FTT and LEO tokens are decent bear market plays.
  • For crypto exchanges, buying the token is the only way for non-VC investors to gain exposure to the growth. Private valuations could differ greatly from the publicly traded valuations. 
  • While exchange tokens are the easiest to understand and most equity-like in the traditional finance sense, we can also further apply the framework to tokens on other protocols.
