🚀 MicroStrategy to Join Nasdaq-100 🚀

MicroStrategy (MSTR) will officially join the Nasdaq-100 index on December 23, alongside Palantir and Axon Enterprise.

🟢This follows a nearly 500% year-to-date stock rally.

🟢The addition, part of the Nasdaq’s annual rebalancing, replaces companies like Moderna, Illumina, and Super Micro Computer.

🟢Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart predicts that ETFs, including the heavily traded QQQ ETF, will buy over $2B in MSTR shares following its inclusion.

🟢MSTR’s current market cap of $98B significantly surpasses the $43B value of its 423,650 Bitcoin holdings.

🟢The company, led by Michael Saylor, has focused on a Bitcoin-centered strategy, acquiring 197,150 Bitcoin since September 12.

What’s next: Analysts predict MSTR may aim for inclusion in the S&P 500 in 2025, although challenges remain due to the underperformance of its enterprise software business.

Here's the breakdown:

Bitcoin dominated, pulling in $2.5 billion, supported by major U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC.

Ethereum followed with $1.2 billion, its largest weekly inflow ever, driven by growing institutional adoption.

🚀 Is Base season here?

Over the past few weeks, there have been several indicators that the Base ecosystem might just become the next hottest thing in the market. Let’s go through some key metrics.

Unparalleled Growth in Net Inflows
🟢Base recorded approximately $197M in net inflows over the past seven days.
🟢3X Solana's $61.5M net inflows during the same period.
🟢More than all other Ethereum L2s.
🟢The only platform with more than $100M netflow.

Transaction Volume at All-Time Highs
🟢Base hit 10M+ daily transactions for the first time towards the end of November.

Dominance in Network Revenue
🟢Base hit $769k in daily revenue, outperforming every other Ethereum L2 by at least 13x.
🟢Cumulative revenue has crossed $60M, while fees collected has crossed $20M.

Base has quickly become the go-to platform for innovation, with memecoins, dApps, and protocols driving its adoption.

Strategically, memecoins offer two key advantages:
1. They provide uncorrelated returns compared to BTC, making them useful as hedges for liquid portfolios.
2. They help lagging portfolios catch up in performance.

Conclusion
Base's growth is clearly the result of deliberate choices and strategic advantages that differentiate it from its competitors.
1. It is backed by Coinbase, having access to the plethora of resources of the company.
2. It is resilient under pressure and in 2024 it has proven its reliability and scalability.
3. It masterfully taps into hardcore user bases by capitalizing on emerging trends, seamlessly aligning itself with the explosive rise of memecoins and the surging demand for AI agents.

🚀 Using NFT Minting for Analytics: A Game-Changer for Podcasters

The NFT market may have shifted since its heady 2022 peaks, but innovative use cases are thriving—and podcasters are leading the charge.

Platforms like Pods.media let creators mint episodes as NFTs. With $1M+ in episode mints and success stories like Mint Podcast earning $477K from 250K+ NFTs, it’s clear NFTs are finding a productive niche.

➕ But there’s more! By leveraging on-chain analytics tools like Bello, Adam Levy, Mint Podacst founder, is transforming audience insights into action. With granular data from listeners' wallet histories, Levy tailored episodes to audience interests, boosting downloads by 40-50%! 🚀

“I don’t really care about my reach on Twitter or my audience on Instagram any longer — I care more about the wallets that collect my content because now I have ways to engage them in a permissionless manner where I can never be shadowbanned across any platform.”- Levi said.

This kind of audience engagement isn’t possible with traditional platforms like Spotify or Apple Music. 💡 NFTs are unlocking new dimensions of community interaction and monetization.

📢 Trump Wins, BTC hits $75K 🚀

In an exciting turn, Bitcoin hits $75,000 following Trump’s victory, with crypto-related stocks like Coinbase and MicroStrategy also rallying in after-hours trading on Tuesday.

Here’s a refresher on Trump’s key pledges for Bitcoin and the broader crypto landscape:

1️⃣ Establishing a National Crypto Stockpile

Current Issue: The U.S. Marshals Service periodically auctions off seized Bitcoin, which can create market sell-offs and impact prices.

Trump’s Promise: Trump plans to halt these sales, aiming to protect and stabilize the national Bitcoin stockpile. By preserving seized Bitcoin assets, he intends to support the price stability of the market.

2️⃣ Replacing SEC Chair Gary Gensler

Current Issue: Gensler’s aggressive regulatory stance has led to over 100 enforcement actions against crypto firms, often criticized as stifling innovation and failing to provide clear guidelines.

Trump’s Pledge: Though he can’t directly fire the SEC chair, he aims to establish a “Bitcoin and Crypto Presidential Advisory Council” to shape regulatory oversight better.

3️⃣ Keeping Bitcoin Mining in America

Current Issue: Complex regulations have driven many crypto businesses abroad.

Trump’s Vision: Intending to make the U.S. “energy dominant,” Trump has met with mining leaders and envisions the country that mines all BTC, supporting energy independence and new mining-friendly policies.

4️⃣ Supporting Fed Rate Cuts

Current Issue: The Federal Reserve’s interest rates significantly affect financial markets, including crypto.

Trump’s Stance: Although the Fed operates independently, Trump advocates for rate cuts, which historically correlate with surges in crypto markets by lowering borrowing costs and encouraging investment.

Well, congrats to Donald Trump, and let’s see how these promises might shape a bullish future for the crypto industry! 🚀

📈 BTC price target at $200,000, regardless of election outcome

As the U.S. election approaches, the Web3 sector is watching closely. What shifts can we expect in the crypto landscape?

📎 We've previously outlined the main candidates' positions on crypto in our article "2024 US Elections: Catalyst for Crypto Bull Market?".

Analysts from Bernstein Research project BTC to reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, regardless of the election outcome. They predict BTC could test all-time highs of around $74,000 and then move up to $80,000 or $90,000 if Trump wins, as crypto sentiment could strengthen approaching Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.

However, a Harris win might initially see BTC pull back to $50,000 before recovering—a more optimistic scenario than Bernstein’s earlier forecast of $30,000 to $40,000 under a Harris administration (The Block).

In addition, some have argued that a Harris win could be positive for Ethereum amid ether's significant underperformance in 2024 as the U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs could be the last approved under a tougher regulatory regime, avoiding competition from Solana or any other new investment products.

However, the Bernstein analysts said this was “zero-sum thinking,” and a constructive Securities and Exchange Commission would open opportunities for all crypto assets beyond bitcoin. (Source).

Moreover, want to mention, that whichever regulatory environment takes shape post-election will likely influence the global competitiveness of US-based Web3 startups in the evolving digital economy.

As a result, we got one more proof that the bull market is coming and it doesn't depend on different external events.

The crypto market is rising, ready to seize new opportunities! 🚀

🔝 Key Lessons from Incentive Programs: What Works & What Doesn’t

Incentives are the backbone of decentralized ecosystems, shaping user behaviour and engagement. While some programs have thrived, others have struggled to meet their goals. A recent Arbitrum Research & Development Committee (ARDC) and Blockworks Research study explored the strategies behind these outcomes.

Here are some standout insights into effective incentive design:

🎯 Flexibility and Iteration
Successful programs emphasize flexibility and data-driven adjustments, much like Web2 marketing campaigns. Continuous monitoring and experimentation ensure relevance and impact.

🎯 Community Engagement
Building programs that involve and reward the broader community creates loyalty and long-term participation. Simple mechanisms, such as point systems, are particularly effective.

Here is an example of Silo, a risk-isolated lending market: Silo announced many external integrations over the course of the intensive program, broadening their funnel of value into the protocol. New markets currently account for 66% of the total supply on Silo, and 62% of total borrowing.

🎯 Revenue-Driven Behavior
Align incentives with revenue-generating activities for sustainable growth. Avoid models that attract "mercenary" participants, whose engagement disappears when rewards stop.

🎯 Simplicity in Design
Complicated incentives create barriers. Programs with straightforward structures and minimal friction—avoiding extra steps like purchasing vesting tokens—encourage higher participation.

In one of the researches was described Vertex case: there was the rise in new traders after the program ended. Vertex’s approach to incentives was straightforward and effective. Traders could reclaim up to 75% of their trading fees, while liquidity providers earned a fixed return of 15% APY on their deposits. This clear and transparent structure allowed participants to easily understand the rewards and what actions were needed to maximize them, creating strong engagement and predictable outcomes.

Keep in mind these points, while looking for the best platforms to build loyalty and grow communities:

Are you paying attention to Bitcoin's short-term holder supply❓

You should be. Here's why:

During bull markets, *new money* (short-term holders) enters the market.

They buy tokens from long-term holders.

So, naturally, as the price rises, we tend to see a drop in long-term holder supply and an increase in short-term holder supply.

As this dynamic plays out, we get a view into the stability of the market structure.

After all, short-term holders are not *diamond handed.* So as their allocation rises, risk in the market rises with it.

------

🔎 What do we see today?

1️⃣ 16.6% of the supply is currently in the hands of short-term holders.

2️⃣ In the last cycle, BTC price peaked when short-term holders controlled 25% of the circulating supply.

3️⃣ Short-term holders are sitting on 25% gains on average (ST MVRV)

4️⃣ They were sitting on 45% gains in March. And the last cycle peaked when they were sitting on 80% gains.

Post is based on on interesting insight from Michael Nadeau (DeFi Report).

Why Web3 Companies Need CDPs to Thrive 🚀

Companies always compete with each other, and user data and tools to manage it properly are crucial. Here, a "new type of CRM"— Customer Data Platform (CDP) — helps.

Safary covered the importance of CDP for Web3 companies in its blog: The Case for Customer Data Platforms

Here’s why CDPs are game-changers:

💡 Efficiency Boost
Unlike traditional CRMs, CDPs eliminate the need to wait for engineers to fetch specific data, saving time and reducing human error.

💡 Reward Programs Made Easy
Quickly set up and run campaigns, like rewarding users who connect wallets or deposit tokens.

A CDP is more than just a data aggregator—it serves as a critical connection point between marketing and engineering teams, empowering marketers to independently access and utilize user insights. This makes it an indispensable pillar of a well-rounded marketing strategy.

💰 Justin Sun invests in Trump's DeFi project!

Tron founder Justin Sun announced a $30M investment in World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens, the crypto project supported by US President-elect Donald Trump. WLFI appointed Sun as an advisor on Tuesday.

🟢This purchase makes Tron the largest investor in the project, which had faced a slow start following its launch.

🟢Sun expressed enthusiasm for the US becoming a blockchain hub under Trump's leadership, noting that Bitcoin's price has surged since Trump’s election.

🟢WLFI's "gold paper" outlines that DT Marks DEFI LLC, linked to the Trump family, retains rights to 75% of the net protocol revenues and $337.5M in tokens at the sale price.

🟢The high control by Trump’s cronies potentially deterred early buyers.

🟢Sun’s latest move follows his recent election as prime minister of Liberland, a micronation that uses Bitcoin as its official currency.

Sun highlighted the fact that "bitcoin owes it to Trump" referencing to the recent BTC price increase precipitously since the billionaire real-estate tycoon was reelected U.S. president.

🚀 AI Agents are taking over! 🚀

AI and crypto are coming together to create an endless, service-driven knowledge economy. These advancements transform AI from being isolated technology into an active participant in the economy, boosting productivity and sustainability. Crypto networks are becoming essential infrastructure for enabling AI systems to operate autonomously.

Technical Architecture
Crypto AI agents use a layered structure consisting of:
1. Blockchain Layer
2. AI and Data Analytics Layer
3. Interaction Layer
4. Security Layer

🟢Blockchain Layer
A blockchain network like Ethereum serves as the foundation, offering a decentralized and secure ledger for transactions. Smart contracts define how agents operate.

🟢AI and Data Analytics Layer
This layer processes raw data into useful insights and includes:
- Neural Networks: For tasks like predicting token prices.
- Reinforcement Learning Models: To help agents optimize strategies, such as maximizing returns in unstable markets.

🟢Interaction Layer
This is how AI agents communicate with users or systems. It includes APIs for connecting to DeFi platforms and crypto exchanges, along with wallets for managing transactions.

🟢Security Layer
Security is vital for AI agents handling financial tasks. Tools like multi-signature wallets ensure only approved transactions occur, while behavioral anomaly detection identifies suspicious activity, reducing fraud risks.

The Future of AI Agents
The future aligns closely with the evolution of AI itself. This transition is often described as the shift from AI 1.0 (smart tools like ChatGPT) to AI 2.0, where agents can independently perform complex tasks, adapt to user needs, and interact seamlessly with protocols, applications, and other agents.

New Memecoin Supercycle? Let’s Get Real

The 2024 crypto market is showing some big changes in how memecoins and altcoins stack up. Memecoins are grabbing attention, while altcoins are looking a bit tired. Here’s why memecoins might be on the way up — and why altcoins are losing steam.

Why Altcoins Are Fading Out

First off, performance. Only 43 out of the top 300 tokens on CoinMarketCap actually beat Bitcoin this year. That’s not exactly winning. And let’s be real: altcoins lean hard on venture capital money. But venture funding? It’s slowing down, and fast. Meanwhile, new tokens keep hitting the market, so now we’ve got more projects fighting over a shrinking pie.

This “dilution” effect means most altcoins aren’t getting the capital they need to grow. They’re stuck in a crowded room with fewer dollars to go around, especially the ones still trying to survive on private sales and early VC rounds.

Memecoins: No VCs, Just Pure Hype

Memecoins play by different rules. Most of them are fully unlocked from day one, skipping the usual private sales and token vesting we see in VC-backed altcoins. This means no early whales cashing out on OTC deals before retail can even get in. Retail investors actually start on equal footing with the big players, which is rare in crypto.

With memecoins, it’s the community and raw demand that drive the market. No VCs pumping bags behind the scenes. The playing field is more level, and retail gets to ride the same wave as everyone else.

Small Market Cap, Big Potential

Even with all the hype, memecoins still have a relatively small market cap compared to the altcoin category. That means room to grow. As more investors look for simple, community-based projects, memecoins could eat up more of the crypto market share. It’s a bet on culture and crowd-driven hype.

Altcoins’ “Three Pillars” vs. Memecoins’ “Two”

Most altcoins try to balance three things: technology, community, and token. Memecoins, on the other hand, cut out the fluff. It’s just token + community. And honestly, in many altcoins, the “technology” is just a pitch to bring in people. Investors aren’t always here for groundbreaking tech — they want community, hype, and price action. Technology sells the token, but the token is what people actually want.

Bottom Line

Altcoins are feeling the pressure of limited venture funding and growing competition. Meanwhile, memecoins are capturing attention with their simple, community-first model and transparent market dynamics. If you’re watching for a new supercycle, memecoins could be where it’s starting.

🔗For a deeper dive, check out the video.

🔗P.S. One notable example is Foxy ($FOXY), our partner and the first memecoin on the Linea blockchain. It's got a strong community vibe and is gaining traction as a standout “culture coin.” Cool project, great team—definitely one to watch. You can check them out here.

🟢State of play: Ethereum’s ecosystem faces a mix of challenges and ambitious goals, affecting its user experience, staking rewards, and even workforce adjustments within major contributing companies.

Vitalik Buterin recently responded to criticisms of Ethereum's Layer 2 network, acknowledging the user experience as fragmented but emphasizing a focus on future improvements rather than defending current limitations.

Tha future plan follows an interoperability roadmap to unify the Layer 2 ecosystem, promoting cross-chain ease of use and setting ambitious scalability goals of 100,000 transactions per second.

Amid these technical and economic pressures, Consensys, a key player in Ethereum’s development and creator of MetaMask, has announced a 20% workforce reduction.

🟢What’s next: Vitalik Buterin’s vision for cross-Layer 2 standards, aiming for 100,000 transactions per second, will demand strong developer collaboration to ensure consistency across different Layer 2s.

🟢Why it matters: Improving Layer 2 usability and staking competitiveness is essential for Ethereum’s continued growth and adoption, especially as it faces competition from other high-yield proof-of-stake networks.

🟢For builders and investors: Choosing a chain to build on is oftentimes more of a political and alignment decision instead of technological one.

🔥Have a great weekend ahead, stay safe and don't forget to buckle up; the cryptoverse is on the rise🔥

💳 Visa Partners with Coinbase for Instant Fund Deposits via Debit Cards

A new point of cryptoadoption in the world 👇

Visa Inc. has announced a partnership with Coinbase Global Inc. that allows customers with eligible debit cards to deposit funds into their Coinbase accounts instantly. While Coinbase already connects millions of customers to debit cards, this new collaboration enables real-time fund transfers for users in the U.S. and European Union, according to a Tuesday statement.

Yanilsa Gonzalez Ore, head of Visa Direct for North America, noted that eligible Visa debit cardholders can now “take advantage of trading opportunities day and night.” The partnership allows customers to purchase cryptocurrencies on Coinbase using their eligible debit cards and to withdraw funds from the platform directly to their bank accounts via the card.

The digital asset sector has historically faced challenges in accessing traditional banking and payment systems due to concerns about market volatility and industry scandals. However, with global crypto regulations becoming clearer, the upcoming U.S. administration may further solidify these frameworks, potentially alleviating some existing obstacles.

Market observers said these moves show that Visa is making steady strides toward integrating crypto with conventional financial services. This would foster broader adoption and ensure smoother transactions within the digital asset ecosystem (Source: CoinMarketGap).

⛓️ Kraken Introduces 'Ink’ Layer 2 ⛓️

State of play: Kraken, the world's 6th-largest crypto exchange, is launching its own Ethereum-based L2 network called "Ink" using Optimism’s OP Stack technology.

This move came nearly a year after Kraken considered its own network following the success of Coinbase's Base.

Ink will join a growing ecosystem of Optimism Superchain networks, including Base, Uniswap, and Sony, contributing to the collective "Superchain" that uses Optimism’s technology.

Set to launch in early 2025, Ink aims to foster an interoperable ecosystem for DeFi applications and protocols.

🟢Why it Matters: While Arbitrum leads in L2 competition with $13.6B in TVL, Optimism’s "Superchain" has 43 rollups and a combined $18.1B in TVL. Arbitrum-based projects total $14B across 29 networks.

🟢What’s next: As more firms adopt Optimism’s technology, the "Superchain" could see further expansion, solidifying its position as a leader in the L2 market.

🟢For builders and investors: There’s a unique dynamic that deserves its own essay. As it becomes easier to move capital between chains and launch your own chain, more entities will do this — some argue this will hurt ETH as an asset itself in the long run.

Meanwhile, others have said that SOL is learning from this mistake and won’t let the same type of liquidity and attention fragmentation happens with its own L2 landscape.
