Crypto is more dependent on U.S. politics and macroeconomics than ever before?

Many experts believe that November and the U.S. elections will determine whether we see the much-anticipated bull run.

The crypto industry, including firms like Ripple and Coinbase, is heavily investing in political campaigns to secure favorable regulations, influencing U.S. policy.

Election and the macroeconomy are becoming crucial for the crypto industry, with potential outcomes ranging from U.S. leadership in blockchain technology to the industry moving abroad due to restrictive policies.

Despite the crash in Japanese stock markets and the even steeper decline in crypto this weekend, it's important to also consider macroeconomic factors and underlying trends.

And we're glad to keep you informed with our weekly recap:

▪️Fears of US recession rattles global markets in brutal crash.

▪️SEC drops requests to label Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) and Polygon (MATIC) as securities.

▪️Trump suggests accumulating Bitcoin to help pay off the US’ $35 trillion debt.

▪️Hong Kong’s largest broker launches Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to 22 million users.

▪️Bank of England cuts rates for the first time in four years.

▪️FOMC holds rates steady, Fed Chair Powell states a September cut is possible.

▪️Jolts report shows available US jobs declining more than expected – jobless claims rise to one-year highs.

📉 Bitcoin crashes below $53K, wiping out $600M in leveraged longs

The sharp downturn in crypto asset prices came amid a sharp sell-off in the Japanese stock market, with the Nikkei 225 down 7.1% in early trading hours.

On Aug. 2, Japanese bank stocks notched their worst day of performance since 2008, buffeted by a decision from the country’s central bank to hikeinterest rates. 

The sudden crash saw as much as $500 billion wiped from the total crypto market capitalization in the last three days — the largest 72-hour wipeout in well over a year.

Several market commentators have attributed the recent turmoil to weak jobs data in the United States, slowed growth among market-leading tech companies in the stock market, and concerns about mass selling from crypto trading firm Jump Crypto.

🚀 A surge in decentralised prediction market activity 🚀

Blockchain technology and smart contracts have found the next niche to penetrate and produce an exciting use case out of it, Decentralized Prediction Markets!

Decentralized prediction markets enable traders to predict future events that don’t relate to an underlying asset’s price. Often involve the outcomes of real-world events like election results, sporting results, etc. They are permissionless, transparent and hard-coded into blockchain smart contracts.

Prediction markets are strongly resonating with the crypto community and especially crypto degens, always looking for opportunities to speculate and gamble.

📈Polymarket:
🟢Polymarket is one of the most popular projects currently with a record monthly volume of +$275M in July.
🟢The platform’s monthly trader count also crossed its highest level, reaching over 33,000.
🟢The record activity is driven by the political events in U.S where political markets on Polymarket feature bets on who will be the next U.S. president.
🟢These markets have seen hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into them.

🎰 Prediction markets sound as a gambling bet placed towards a specific future outcome; and in essence it is.

💫 The magic lies in their ability to aggregate and synthesize information and knowledge from the entire market rather than a single source, or limited sources, of information.

💎 There lies tremendous value to be extracted from the crowdsourced wisdom that prediction markets offer and builders are creating new projects utilizing it.

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

Will Stablecoins be the money of the Metaverse? A Look at 2025-2026 🔮

For sure, your users confidently park their cash in stablecoin, knowing it's the crypto equivalent of a landing pad, not a rollercoaster. But as the industry wrestles with regulation and the rise of the metaverse, what's next for these digital tokens?

💪 The popularity of stablecoins lies in their stability. Unlike Bitcoin's wild price swings, stablecoins offer a safe haven for investors and a medium of exchange in the crypto world. However, events like the TerraUSD crash, where an algorithmic stablecoin lost its peg to the dollar, have raised concerns about their underlying mechanisms.

✅ Regulation

Regulatory clarity is coming. Expect stricter guidelines on reserve management and transparency. This might weed out some players, but for established coins, it's a badge of honor. Compliance becomes your competitive edge, instilling trust in institutions and paving the way for wider adoption.

✅ Metaverse Minting

The Metaverse is a new trillion-dollar playground, a potential goldmine. Here's where stablecoins will take center stage. It is the best choice for payment systems, allowing users to seamlessly buy virtual land or that digital Gucci bag with secure, stable tokens. The metaverse craves a frictionless currency, and your stablecoin could be it.

✅ The Interoperability Imperative

Right now, different stablecoins exist in separate. Interoperability – the ability to work across platforms – is the next frontier. Partnering with other blockchain players is the key to the future.

The coming years are poised to be a golden age for stablecoins. So, are you ready to take part in this exciting future? 🌟

Polkadot sparked controversy within its community after disclosing a hefty marketing expense of $87 million in the first half of 2024 😱

Despite the lavish expenditure, the results have been less than stellar. A closer look at the breakdown reveals a focus on high-profile sponsorships:

• $6.8 million for a soccer club deal (1 million DOT)
• $1.9 million to sponsor race car driver Conor Daly
• $1.3 million with e-sports organizer HEROIC
• $4.9 million on influencer marketing
• $7.9 million on events

While these endeavors generated buzz, they failed to translate into the desired user growth or engagement, leaving many to question the effectiveness of such a large-scale spending spree in the Web3 space.

Building Trust, Not Just Hype
Success is based on more than just visibility. At InnMind we encourage all to rely on transparency and product development, and remember:

✅ Performance Over Hype. Use metrics-driven marketing to ensure every dollar contributes to user acquisition and retention.
✅ Community Matters. Build a loyal base through grassroots efforts and user education, prioritizing trust and transparency.
✅ Targeted Outreach. Create tailored promotions that resonate with the Web3 community to drive engagement and conversion.
✅ Partnerships with Purpose. Form strategic partnerships that enhance the ecosystem and benefit users, enriching platform functionality and experience.

For Web3 founders, the message is clear: flashy campaigns may grab headlines, but sustainable growth comes from thoughtful, value-driven strategies that resonate with users and build trust.

By focusing on performance, community, targeted outreach, and meaningful partnerships, you can ensure their marketing dollars are well spent, driving genuine impact in the competitive Web3 space 🌐
