Arthur Hayes has introduced a new article "PvP"
Highlights:
1. PvP, or “player vs. player,” is a phrase used often by shitcoin traders to describe this current market cycle. This contradicts the original idea behind cryptocurrencies.
2. New tokens launched this year have performed poorly for retail investors, but not for venture capital (VC) firms. The result has been the launch of a plethora of high, fully diluted value (FDV), but low circulating supply projects.
3. Listing on major exchanges does not guarantee token price growth. The data shows that tokens do not "pump" regardless of the exchange.
4. Projects must cut their valuations at launch by 40% to 50% to become attractive on a relative basis.
5. VCs are interested in accumulating assets and receiving management fees, rather than in the real return on investment. This leads to overestimation of projects.
6. The CEXs want a high FDV for two reasons. The first is that trading fees are charged as a percentage of the token notional. The higher the FDV, the more revenue and fees are earned, whether the project pumps or dumps. The second reason is that a high FDV and low circulating supply are good for exchanges because plenty of unallocated tokens can be given to them.
7. Listing on major exchanges is expensive: up to 16% of the total token supply and $5 million in BNB's purchase for Binance.
8. Projects need to make sure that their users/token holders get rich as the project succeeds.
9. An alternative is needed: launch with a low valuation on DEX to attract users and allow them to grow with the project.
10. Auki Labs. They didn’t have CEX on the first date. Instead, they listed a relatively low-FDV token starting on DEX.

US bankruptcy judge approves FTX reorganization plan, two years after the exchange's collapse
Judge John Dorsey in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware decided to approve the plan during a hearing on Monday in a move to start distributing funds to creditors. Under that plan, 98% of creditors will receive at least 118% of their claim value in cash.
After the news, the FTT price increased by ~50% and then decreased again. It is now trading at $2.43.

Vitalik Buterin: “I appreciate all the memecoins that donate portions of their supply directly to charity.
(eg. I saw ebull sent a bunch to various groups last month)
Anything that gets sent to me gets donated to charity too (thanks moodeng! The 10B from today is going to anti-airborne-disease tech), though I truly prefer if you guys send to charity directly, maybe even make a DAO and get your community directly engaged in the decisions and process.
I've said before that I think the best thing for memecoins is if they can be maximally positive-sum for the world, so it's great to see moments when that actually happens!”
The MOODENG and EBULL prices increased by more than 400% and 1600% respectively.

Department of Homeland Security investigators say they’ve thwarted hundreds of ransomware cyberattacks before they occurred and have seized billions of extorted crypto since 2021.
United States government agencies were the top targets, accounting for 21% of the disrupted hacks, more than any business sector, Mike Prado, the deputy assistant director of Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) Cyber Crimes Center, told Bloomberg in an Oct. 4 report.
The division has disrupted 537 ransomware attacks since it was formed in 2021 and has traced and seized $4.3 billion worth of crypto on exchanges and hackers’ devices, which was stolen through extortion payments.

UAE exempts crypto transfers, conversion from value-added tax
https://cointelegraph.com/news/uae-exempts-crypto-transfers-conversions-from-vat
Coinlist CEO: “Here’s how you launch a hyped, legit token (sorry EigenLayer missed this window, but everyone else can learn):
1. The community needs to feel like they’re insiders. Do an aggressive inside sale for the best community members at an aggressive discount to last round. I’m talking 70%+. Choose 500-2000 people for this. Give them meaningful stakes. I’d even do a custom NFT for this group (h/t patron sales).
2. For everyone else, give them a fair pre launch price for the community round. At least last round.
3. Be transparent and don’t engage in shenanigans. Were there secondaries? Can locked vesters stake? Is there a strange MM deal everyone should know about? Did you give Binance 20% of network supply? People should know.
4. Speaking of vesting, I’m conflicted. I don’t believe in 100% unlocks on day 1, as the team should absolutely continue vesting. And the data shows that sale participants / community should vest. But should investors and partners? Likely no. Low float high fdv is broken, go to market with a higher float or your four year chart doesn’t stand a chance.
5. Really there’s so much more to say on this. You can use CoinList to do all of the above and come chat with us. We don’t know all of the answers, but we’re (Skeeeeto) learning daily and can figure this out together.”

💧 Price Bounce and Dip
EigenLayer: “In an isolated incident this morning, an email thread involving one investor’s transfer of tokens into custody was compromised by a malicious attacker.
As a result, 1,673,645 EIGEN tokens were erroneously transferred to the attacker’s address. The attacker sold these stolen EIGEN tokens via a decentralized swap platform and transferred stablecoins to centralized exchanges. We are in contact with these platforms and law enforcement. A portion of the funds have already been frozen.
The compromise has not impacted the broader ecosystem. There is no known vulnerability in the protocol or token contracts and this compromise was not related to any onchain functionality.
We continue to investigate the situation and will be posting further information once we have it.”
