Trading Volumes & On-chain Balances Chart
Industry TrendsMain Projects Trends:
Vitalic Buterin: analysis shows that EIP-1559 significantly reduces delays in transaction confirmation.
Polkadot smart contracts platform Astar Network launched.
EOS founder BM returns and works on EOS development.
MetaMask launches developer version of 'MetaMask Flask'.
Twitter launches NFT avatar feature.
Football star Neymar buys BAYC NFT and replaces it with a Twitter avatar.
LooksRare 7-day trading volume exceeds US$3.9 billion.
HTX Research Institute Analysis：
The reduction of delay in transaction confirmation is a welcome development, but it will not change the status Ethereum as an "expensive chain". The current high Gas fee of Ethereum is forcing users to choose other cheaper public chains, which is why L2 projects and new public chains are exploding. For Ethereum and Vitalic, zkRollup and the future of sharding are the fundamental solutions to lower Gas fees.
International industry trends.
The Federal Reserve released a central bank digital currency white paper, “Money and Payments: The U.S. Dollar in the Age of Digital Transformation”.
Microsoft is buying Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion to gain access to blockbuster games.
The “national cryptocurrency” of Iran will enter its pilot stage soon.
a16z plans to launch a new fund to invest in cryptocurrencies with $4.5 billion.
HTX Research Institute Analysis：
There have always been two voices in US, issuing CBDCs and promoting stablecoin innovation by companies. With US relying more on innovative companies like Tesla and spaceX for its strength, stablecoin innovation might be a better way to take.
HTX Research Institute Analysis：
GameFi games can't stay on cards and web forever, and Activision Blizzard's game development capabilities are certainly capable of producing 3A-level GameFi game masterpieces.
Regulations:
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for global cooperation to tackle the challenges posed by cryptocurrencies.
Spanish National Securities Market Commission imposes restrictions on cryptocurrency promotion activities.
Russian Central Bank proposes to ban the use of cryptocurrencies and crypto-mining activities in Russia.
Turkey: aims to regulate cryptocurrencies but not ban them.
HTX Research Institute Analysis：
Cryptocurrencies are not backed by the credit of any national entity, but cryptography and computer technology. In this respect, the creation of cryptocurrencies is part of the process of "globalization", which can only be slowed down, not stopped. Any attempt by a country to stem the tide of "globalization" is ultimately ineffective, as the statement by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi demonstrates in reverse.
