A leading crypto insights firm claims one Ethereum (ETH)-based decentralized video streaming network is witnessing an uptick in fundamentals in the second half of 2022 despite the bear market.
Messari notes that Livepeer (LPT) clocked a record of nearly 37 million minutes of video transcoded on its network, a 12% increase from the second quarter of the year.

The insights firm says the growth indicates “increased demand from end-users.”
“This increased usage is reflected in both the demand and supply side metrics. Transcoding fee revenue reached an all-time high in ETH terms in Q3’22, up 52%. Staking reward revenue in LPT terms increased 17% in Q3’22; however, when translated in USD terms, it was down 46%.”

Livepeer aims to enable a cost-efficient way of broadcasting and streaming video. The project’s native governance token, LPT, is trading at $9.25 at time of writing.
The 143rd-ranked crypto asset by market cap is down nearly 1% in the past 24 hours but up more than 2.7% in the past seven days. It is down more than 9.2% in the past month. LPT also remains more than 90% down from its all-time high of over $99, which it hit in November 2021.

Fixed Supply + Institutional Frenzy, After Bitcoin's 50% Plunge, Will It Replicate Gold's 'Explosive' Run from 20 Years Ago?

"Fixed Supply & Institutional Craze: Bitcoin's Potential to Mirror Gold's 'Explosive' Price Rally of Two Decades Ago After a 50% Crash?" Despite a challenging period in 2026 where Bitcoin fell over 50% from its late 2025 peak above $126,000, analysts see potential for a turnaround, drawing parallels to gold's performance after the launch of its ETFs. Bloomberg Intelligence senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas suggests Bitcoin ETFs could follow a "roadmap" similar to gold ETFs over the past 22 years. Since their 2004 debut, gold ETFs have seen dramatic surges, painful drawdowns, and recoveries, ultimately driving gold's market capitalization near $28 trillion. Both assets are non-yielding stores of value driven purely by investor sentiment. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, launched in early 2024, rapidly became among the fastest-growing ETFs ever, marking Bitcoin's move into mainstream finance. However, this also introduced significant volatility, with concerns about potential large-scale ETF outflows interrupting rebounds. For instance, BlackRock's IBIT, a leading Bitcoin ETF, has sold nearly 100,000 Bitcoin recently to meet redemptions, though it still holds over 733,000. The core parallel lies in fixed supply meeting surging, albeit fickle, institutional demand. Balchunas notes that both gold and Bitcoin experienced explosive price moves when demand concentrated, but such demand often comes in waves. Industry observers believe Bitcoin's "digital gold" narrative, bolstered by halving cycles and growing institutional adoption through ETFs, supports long-term bullish prospects. While the path will be volatile, if Bitcoin captures even a fraction of gold's role as a store of value, its upside potential remains substantial.

Starknet Launches Privacy-First Bitcoin strkBTC, Targeting Institutional On-Chain Finance

Starknet introduces strkBTC, a privacy-focused version of Bitcoin designed for institutional on-chain finance. As digital assets face increased scrutiny, two major challenges emerge: the public visibility of all transactions and the looming threat of quantum computing to current cryptographic signatures. Bitcoin, representing over 56% of the crypto market, highlights these issues most clearly. strkBTC, built on Starknet’s STRK20 privacy framework, allows Bitcoin to be used privately on-chain while maintaining compliance. It operates in two modes: a public mode like standard ERC-20 tokens, and a shielded mode that hides balances and transactions from public view. This addresses the need for confidentiality in institutional finance, similar to traditional markets’ private trading venues. A third-party auditor, Financial Privacy Inc, holds view keys for regulatory access when necessary. Additionally, Starknet is positioned ahead in quantum resistance. Its STARK-based proof system relies on hash functions rather than elliptic-curve cryptography, making it less vulnerable to quantum attacks. Starknet’s native account abstraction also allows easier migration to quantum-resistant signatures without protocol-level forks. The team has outlined a roadmap to achieve end-to-end quantum security before “Q-day,” though dependencies on Ethereum’s own migration remain. While strkBTC currently uses a trusted bridge consortium, Starknet plans to transition toward more trustless, Bitcoin-native verification over time. The initiative underscores a shift in on-chain finance beyond yield—prioritizing privacy, compliance, and long-term security for institutional adoption.
