5. Industry Trends
Main Projects Trends
The 24-hour transaction volume on the Fantom chain exceeds that of Ethereum on January 24.
Wonderland CFO 0xSifu, previously as a cofounder of the failed crypto exchange QuadrigaCX, affecting multiple protocols on chains.
Hackers attacked users in a recent OpenSea exploit which allowed the attackers to steal millions of dollars’ worth of NFTs.
HTX Research Institute Analysis：
Fantom has been very popular lately under Andre Cronje's leadership, especially after the launch of ver(3,3). On the contrary, cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum have continued to be in the doldrums in the recent bear market. On top of that, the extremely high yields of veDAOs and 0xDAO have attracted a lot of capital in a short period of time. 0xDAO has gained much more from veDAOs, with 3 billion TVL in just one day. And these projects are considered as a replication of curve war on Fantom.
International Industry Trend
Cryptocurrency may enter into bear market after the US Federal Reserve Bank announced it is going to accelerate its plans to taper asset purchases and raise interest rates.
Matter Labs has announced a $200 million decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
Listed miner Greenidge Generation says it will spend $264 million to build a data center in South Carolina.
YouTube plans to enter the crypto market.
HTX Research Institute Analysis：
The Fed Reserve has ended the last two years’ loose monetary policy and led the US stock market and crypto market both showed a slight decline. According to previous data, the Fed's policy was tightening during 2015 to 2018, even it raised rates in 2016, the Bitcoin price still climbed with a bull market in 2017. However, Bitcoin went into a bear market after a short while of tapering in October, 2017. So, it is important for us to focus on the impact of balance sheet tapering rather than rate hike. The extent of future rate hikes, the timeline and size of the taper are yet to be announced.
Regulations
BSTX has received approvals from the US SEC for operating a blockchain-based national stock exchange in the US.
The Biden administration is reportedly drafting a government-wide cryptocurrency strategy as an executive order.
A roadmap on cryptocurrencies has been prepared by a number of ministries, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement agencies in Russia.
Hong Kong regulators announced the Joint Circular on Intermediaries’ Virtual Asset-related Activities.
HTX Research Institute Analysis：
BSTX is known as the Boston Security Token Exchange. The approval is actually a popularization of blockchain technology. It is only allowing for applications in the traditional marketplace for settlement sessions, not involving crypto transactions or other forms of blockchain technology use.
