Weekly Editors Picks (1116-1122)

Investment and Entrepreneurship

Is an old VC who has gone through three cycles of value investment facing this round of meme anxiety?

The polarization of the industry is getting more and more serious. On the one hand, the industry has grown in size, and TradFi has integrated a large amount of Crypto assets into Wall Street through compliant means such as ETFs. This part of liquidity has been taken away, and it is difficult to convert it into our on-site funds; on the other hand, the strong expansion of populist capitalism has further compressed the attention economy, and the entire financialization process has become more simple and crude. The most Crypto Native way has become direct speculation on Memes, which is also an area that TradFi cannot reach. Whoever finds the breakthrough point will win.

The problem with VC Token lies in the vicious cycle of the industry’s liquidity supply chain. A healthy ecosystem is one in which everyone who plays on the chain is willing to buy coins and is even more willing to preach.

Meme has become the most important track-level opportunity in the industry that cannot be ignored or missed. What it does is to tokenize thoughts and emotions into products and capitalize them. Token is the product itself, so the product community and the coin community are combined into one, and the two form a synergy.

CEX will change its listing strategy based on market expectations, thereby guiding the market trend. However, our industry will inevitably fall into the chaos of homogeneous competition due to the low cost of asset issuance and liquidity premium. Everyone will definitely become numb and tired of this chaos. This is the power of the cycle.

Bitcoin Ecosystem

When will the bull market wind blow to the Bitcoin ecosystem?

The leading exchanges are still supporting the development of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Rune surpasses BRC-20 and becomes the first asset protocol in the BTC ecosystem.

Although there have been some hot ecological projects that have attracted short-term attention during this period, they have never formed a large-scale effect.

a16z crypto partner: The future of stablecoins from 250 years of banking history

Stablecoins offer users an experience similar to bank deposits and paper money – convenient and reliable store of value, medium of exchange, and lending – but in an unbundled, “self-custodial” form.

To understand the richness and limitations of stablecoin designs, it is useful to draw on the history of banking: what works, what doesn’t, and why. Like many products in cryptocurrencies, stablecoins may quickly repeat banking history, starting with simple paper money and gradually expanding the money supply through complex loan mechanisms.

The authors further evaluate fiat-backed stablecoins, asset-backed stablecoins, and strategy-backed synthetic dollars (which, despite their increased awareness, do not meet the definition of a stablecoin for transactions or storage of value).

Stablecoins must first consolidate around a clear, well-understood, and easily redeemable bank note, much like the way Federal Reserve bank notes gained recognition in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Over time, we can expect the number of asset-backed stablecoins issued by decentralized overcollateralized lending institutions to increase, just as banks increase the M2 money supply through deposit lending. Finally, we can expect DeFi to continue to grow, not only by creating more SBSDs for investors, but also by improving the quality and quantity of asset-backed stablecoins.

A Deep Dive into Existing Stablecoin Models: How to End the Currency Civil War?

Stablecoins are created when issuers make loans and are destroyed through repayments by borrowers. Centralized issuers like Tether and Circle mint tokenized USD, which are essentially digital IOUs issued based on USD deposits made by borrowers. Since their debt is backed by various forms of collateral, stablecoin issuers effectively act as crypto banks.

The existing model of stablecoins suffers from problems of fragmentation, counterparty risk, and a race to the bottom in yields.

The future of stablecoins may be divided into three areas: payments, yields, and the middle layer (everything in between). A balanced power structure between these three parts may end the currency civil war and bring much-needed stability to the ecosystem.

Rather than a zero-sum game, this balance will provide a solid foundation for the next generation of DeFi applications and pave the way for further innovation.

DeSci: How to use on-chain Meme to challenge the existing scientific research system?

OpenAI promotes AI Agent craze, an article sorts out the development trajectory of Crypto AI Agent

There are currently two paths for the development of AI Agent in the Crypto field: top-down, developed by AI concept projects and more infrastructure-oriented; bottom-up, led by the AI Meme craze and dominated by free developers.

The most natural starting point for on-chain AI Agents is DeFi, but first AI must gain financial autonomy.

ai 16 z has improved the fairness of DAO investment and encryption proposals to a certain extent. I believe that the integration of AI Agent and DAO will greatly change the future market landscape.

More autonomous on-chain AI Agents will be jointly owned by the community.

Safety

Anonymous coder working for the crypto industry may be a North Korean hacker

Fake job applicants are testing cryptocurrencys acceptance of anonymity.

The United Nations says 4,000 North Koreans have tried to infiltrate the tech sector by getting jobs.

In addition to wasting a lot of time, these fake applicants also undermine a major pillar of the core philosophy of cryptocurrency. Anonymity and pseudonymity are important values in cryptocurrency. Project teams tend to refuse background checks and work at the speed of startups, which makes them a prime target for illegal recruitment schemes.
