Correlation Between IDO and Fundraising Activity
The current bull market has seen a decline in IDO activity compared to the previous one. However, the issue may not lie with the IDO format itself, but with the broader crypto space. Crypto VC activity has also dropped significantly in this bull market compared to the last. The underlying problem could stem from a lack of innovation in business models and a shortage of promising new projects.

cbBTC vs. WBTC: Which Wrapped Bitcoin Reigns Supreme?
Let’s break it down with the facts 👇👇
1. Launch Date:
cbBTC: Launched in September 2024 by Coinbase, founded by Brian Armstrong in 2012.
WBTC: Launched in January 2019 by BitGo, co-founded by Mike Belshe in 2013.
5 years ahead, WBTC has a big head start in adoption and infrastructure.
2. Supply:
cbBTC: 1,739 BTC.
WBTC: 152,900 BTC.
WBTC is absolutely dominating in terms of supply (and liquidity?). If you're looking for liquidity in DeFi, WBTC is where the action's at!
3. Supported Chains:
cbBTC: Available on Ethereum and Base.
WBTC: Multi-chain — available on Ethereum, Base, Kava, Osmosis, and TRON.
WBTC is far more versatile, hopping across multiple chains. Need Bitcoin on TRON? WBTC's got you covered.
4. Proof of Reserves:
cbBTC: No proof of reserves found online.
WBTC: Fully transparent with proof of reserves across chains. Check it out:
Ethereum
Base
Kava
Osmosis
TRON
Transparency matters, and WBTC is leading the game with verifiable proof of reserves! cbBTC? Not so much.
5. Audit Report:
cbBTC: No audit reports.
WBTC: Audited in 2018 by ChainSecurity. Full report here.
Audit = Trust. WBTC shows you receipts, while cbBTC stays in the shadows for now.
6. Risk Analysis:
cbBTC: Blacklist enabled, controlled by a single entity. This breaks the Bitcoin censorship resistance ethos.
WBTC: No blacklisting and controlled by multiple parties. Aligned with Bitcoin’s decentralization and censorship resistance ideals.
If censorship resistance matters to you, WBTC is the clear winner here.
7. Decentralization Degree:
cbBTC: Centralized with Coinbase in control. They can blacklist addresses directly through the smart contract.
WBTC: More decentralized, no blacklisting, and not controlled by any single entity.
Decentralization warriors, your choice is obvious: WBTC aligns closer to Bitcoin's original vision of freedom.
✍️ Sum up
cbBTC: New, Coinbase-centric, with limited chains and no proof of reserves. Centralized and blacklist-enabled.
WBTC: Multi-chain powerhouse, audited, transparent, and censorship-resistant.
In the battle for wrapped Bitcoin supremacy, WBTC is miles ahead on all fronts—liquidity, transparency, and decentralization.
Revolut is reportedly advancing its plans to launch a stablecoin.
With its recent UK banking license, Revolut aims to expand its crypto offerings, taking a compliance-first approach.

Top 10 Blockchains by Year-over-Year Daily Active Addresses Growth
Daily Active Addresses is a key metric that reflects the popularity of a blockchain among users. Although this metric can be subject to manipulation, it still offers valuable insights that can aid in investment and decision-making. Below are the top 10 blockchains ranked by their annual growth in daily active addresses.
Here’s how we calculated it: We considered only blockchains with daily active addresses as of September 18, 2022. We totaled daily active addresses from September 2023 to September 2024, then subtracted the total from September 2022 to September 2023. Using these figures, we calculated the annual percentage growth for each blockchain.

Top 15 Coins With 100% Circulating Supply by Market Cap
Many tokens face challenges in growth due to the large gap between their market cap and fully diluted value. Newly unlocked tokens often cause downward pressure on prices, making it harder for the token's value to increase.
This is partly why meme coins have gained popularity—they typically have 100% of their supply in circulation. Of the top 15 coins with a fully circulating supply, 8 are meme coins.

🤔 Will we see a bull run in 2024?
The current crypto market is raising some serious concerns:
— Most altcoins are at their lowest points this year.
— $ETH is rapidly losing ground to $BTC.
— New projects are struggling, with meme coins being the only category performing well.
There's a rise in uncertainty and doubt within the community, with many wondering, "Are we back in a bear market?"
We tackle this and more in our latest article. Spoiler: there’s still hope 🚀

Bitcoin Dominance Breaks 3 Years High
Bitcoin dominance has surged to its highest level since April 2021. This rise in dominance coincides with increasing volatility in altcoins, especially Ethereum. In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin dropped 2%, while Ethereum saw a 4% decline.
Interestingly, at the institutional level and among presidential candidates, conversations about cryptocurrency often center around Bitcoin, with other coins receiving far less attention.
What do you think? Is this a pause before the next altcoin rally, or will Bitcoin’s dominance continue to rise?
