Dogechain (DC) has been incredibly popular among the meme coin community which has welcomed it with open arms. The native token has also done well considering that it launched during a bear market but the crypto winter has eventually caught up with it, as expected. Given this, Dogechain developers have proposed a drastic reduction in the supply of the digital asset, and the community has come out in full support of them.
Reducing Dogechain Supply
Reducing the supply of a cryptocurrency is not a new concept and projects do it all the time to reduce supply and increase demand, which works to increase the value of the token. However, what makes the Dogechain proposal stand out is the amount of supply that they are planning to burn.
In a proposal titled “The Great Burn” that was presented on Oct. 23, the Dogechain Foundation wants to burn 80% of the total supply of its official token. If it does this, it will be one of the largest burns of any token supply in history, and it has been put up to the community to vote on this proposal.

Updates from the community show that the overwhelming majority are actually in support of the burn. A recent tweet revealed that the vote threshold required had been reached with 550 million votes already entered and 99.9% were in favor of burning 80% of the supply.
🔥Threshold reached – Voting continues until Oct 28 🗳
Exciting update frens! 🙌

Voting is set to run for another three days until the 28th, by which time the official decision will be announced. However, given the current progression of the votes, it is expected that Dogechain would be moving forward with this proposal once voting is concluded.
Good News For DC
For the official Dogechain token, DC, this would drastically reduce its supply, which is 1 trillion, according to data from Coingecko. One thing that a high supply does is severely limit how high the value of a single token can grow due to the unrealistic market caps at such prices.


Presently, the price of DC is trending at $0.0015, and removing 80% of the supply will make it an even more valuable token. It has already shown the markings of a meme coin with the potential to do well in the market and the burn would only accelerate this process.
The meme coin now boasts more than 250,000 wallets with over 1 million transactions in a 24-hour period. Data from Coingecko shows that it saw more than $10 million in trading volume in the last day. However, it seems DC has been unable to keep up with the current market recovery as its price is down over 12% in the last 24 hours.

Why the Establishment of SocialFi Originates from a Misunderstanding of Its Own Medium

"Why SocialFi's Establishment Stems from a Misunderstanding of Its Own Medium" This article critiques the failure of SocialFi projects by applying Marshall McLuhan's theory of "hot" and "cool" media. McLuhan posited that a medium's form—not its content—reshapes user behavior. "Hot" media (e.g., print, radio) deliver high-definition, complete information, promoting passive consumption. "Cool" media (e.g., cartoons, telephone calls) provide low-definition, fragmented signals, requiring active user participation to complete the meaning. Traditional social media platforms (like early Twitter) are quintessentially "cool." A tweet or like is an incomplete fragment; its significance emerges only through replies, shares, and community engagement—it's a participation engine disguised as a content system. SocialFi (e.g., Friend.tech) aimed to monetize social capital by attaching real-time, tradable prices to follows and posts. However, this didn't add an economic layer to a cool medium; it fundamentally transformed the medium itself. The explicit, high-resolution signal of price replaced the ambiguous, low-resolution signal of social interaction. The platform became a financial market dressed as a social network. Once the financial dynamics (speculative profits) faded, the underlying social fabric, which had been suffocated from the start, could not sustain it. The medium overheated and collapsed. This "heat death" pattern isn't unique to crypto. Over time, mainstream platforms often drift from cool to hot by adding features like public metrics, verification badges, and algorithmic feeds that optimize for clarity over participation, leading to user disengagement. The article proposes a viable alternative: the "condensation point." Here, capital is introduced locally and infrequently into a cool medium without saturating it. Examples include Substack (subscriptions), Patreon (memberships), and Bandcamp (music purchases). The core social medium remains cool and participatory, while capital condenses at specific, structurally separate points (e.g., a monthly fee). The key lesson: "Liquidity is heat." Adding it to a cool medium doesn't enhance it but alters its fundamental nature. The NFT boom and bust provides a starker example. Collecting is a classic cool medium, where value is built slowly through stories and community. By making floor prices, rarity scores, and real-time charts omnipresent, NFT platforms rapidly overheated the medium, turning collectors into traders and destroying the participatory culture that gave collections meaning in the first place. The conclusion is that for the next wave to succeed, designers must ask not how to price every social action, but how to let capital condense within a social system without disrupting the cool, participatory mechanics that create its enduring value.

After Storage, Are Copper and Fiber Optic Cables Facing an AI "Great Famine"?

Following the storage sector, copper and fiber optics are emerging as potentially the next major markets to experience explosive growth due to AI. Demand for copper, described by Goldman Sachs as "the oil of the AI era," is surging. Prices are near record highs, with LME copper up 41% over the past 12 months. This is driven by AI's immense and unique requirements: copper is the essential material for the massive electrical distribution (e.g., a 1GW AI data center requires ~27,000 tons) and advanced liquid cooling systems needed for high-power AI clusters like NVIDIA's GB200. Meanwhile, new large-scale copper mine discoveries have been scarce for a decade, tightening supply. Concurrently, a "fiber famine" is unfolding. AI's need for ultra-high-speed, long-distance interconnects between thousands of GPUs is pushing data transmission beyond the physical limits of copper cables. Demand for fiber optics is experiencing a step-change, with a single AI data center requiring up to 36 times more fiber than a traditional CPU rack. This has caused prices for standard G.652D fiber in China to nearly double in just three months. Supply is critically constrained due to the long (18-24 month) lead times required to expand production of the core preform material. In summary, AI's infrastructure demands are cascading down from semiconductors to foundational materials. Copper faces a structural supply-demand imbalance, while fiber optics is entering a period of severe shortage, positioning both as critical and potentially strained components of the AI build-out.

The Construction of SocialFi Originates from a Misreading of Its Own Medium

This article argues that the fundamental failure of SocialFi projects like Friend.tech stems from a misunderstanding of social media's core nature. It applies Marshall McLuhan's theory of "hot" and "cool" media. "Cool" media (like traditional social networks) rely on low-resolution, incomplete signals (e.g., a tweet) that require user participation to create meaning. "Hot" media (like radio or print) deliver complete, high-resolution information that encourages passive consumption. SocialFi attempted to layer finance onto social media by making actions like follows and posts directly tradable with visible, real-time prices. However, this financial signal is a definitive "hot" signal. By superimposing it onto the inherently "cool" medium of social interaction, it fundamentally transformed the medium. Users stopped participating socially and instead began allocating capital rationally based on prices. The financial layer consumed the social one, leaving no genuine social substrate when speculation faded. The article extends this analysis to broader platform decay (e.g., Twitter's shift from cool participation to hot performance metrics) and NFTs. NFT platforms, by optimizing collections with real-time floor prices and rarity scores, rapidly "heated up" the traditionally "cool," participation-rich medium of collecting, destroying its cultural essence and leaving only speculative trading. The solution proposed is not to abandon capital in social contexts, but to design for "condensation points"—localized, infrequent financial interfaces (like Substack subscriptions or Patreon memberships) that allow capital to gather without saturating and overheating the core cool medium. The key lesson is that "liquidity is heat"; adding it to a cool medium doesn't enhance it but alters it, often destroying what made it valuable. Successful platforms will be those that introduce capital while meticulously preserving the cool, participatory nature of their underlying medium.

Bitwise: Why Are Top-Tier Capitals Frenziedly Betting on New Public Blockchains? The Answer Lies in These Three Points

Recently, a wave of major funding announcements for new public blockchains like Arc, Canton, and Tempo signals a significant industry shift. This article analyzes the driving forces behind this surge. Firstly, regulatory clarity is a key catalyst. These massive investments, including Circle's Arc ($222M), Digital Asset's Canton ($300M), and Stripe's Tempo ($500M), all followed the US passage of the *Genius Act* in July 2025. This suggests that clear legislation is unlocking institutional capital. The anticipated, broader *Clarity Act* could further accelerate growth, particularly in tokenization and compliant infrastructure. Secondly, built-in privacy is emerging as a critical design feature. Unlike Ethereum or Solana, these new chains natively support confidential transactions. This directly addresses real-world business needs, where public transparency can be a liability for corporate dealings or personal salary data, making privacy a potential killer application. Finally, the entry of traditional giants marks a new competitive phase. These projects are backed by major firms: Arc by Circle, Canton by a consortium including Goldman Sachs and Nasdaq, and Tempo by Stripe with partners like Visa. While crypto-native projects remain strong contenders, this institutional involvement brings substantial capital, execution capability, and operational rigor. In conclusion, the convergence of regulatory progress, demand for privacy, and competition from established financial and tech players is rapidly reshaping the blockchain landscape, pushing innovation and expanding the industry's boundaries.

Crypto Superapp Legend Announces Shutdown As Industry Shakeout Continues

Legend, a DeFi mobile app aggregator founded by former Compound executives, is shutting down on July 12 after roughly two years. Despite a $15 million funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase Ventures in 2025, CEO Jayson Hobby stated the product failed to achieve the necessary scale for financial viability. The non-custodial app allowed users to earn, trade, borrow, and swap assets via integrations with major protocols like Aave and Uniswap from a single interface. Hobby noted mainstream crypto users care about benefits like better yield and control, not whether a product uses blockchain. Legend's closure is part of a broader sector shakeout, with over 20 DeFi, NFT, and crypto protocols announcing shutdowns this year amid a bear market and declining total value locked.
