🚨 Crypto Regulations Shake-Up Coming?

•⁠ ⁠Potential clarity on crypto regulations
•⁠ ⁠A shift in the global crypto regulatory landscape

🔝 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.

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 it matters: With Tether and BlackRock already in the tokenization race, Circle’s move shows the rapid growth and competition in the RWA market, pushing blockchain deeper into mainstream finance.

For builders and investors: Stablecoin is still a hot space, especially after Trump’s victory — don’t think that you’re too late to build in this sector, especially if you have a unique angle or unfair business relationship advantage.

🔥 From YC Doubts to $17M in 14 Days: How Marty Cracked Fundraising

Meet Marty Kausas, the first-time founder who raised $17M from a16z in just two weeks. His product? Simple. His method? Genius.

💡 The Backstory:

•⁠ ⁠Got into YC with a product so basic, they were told, “It’ll never work.”
•⁠ ⁠Lived in the office with his co-founders for months, speaking to 420 customers before writing a single line of code.
•⁠ ⁠Raised $3.2M in 6 days after YC, then came back a year later to close $17M in 14 days.

💡Key Fundraising Lessons:

•⁠ ⁠Fundraising is a social game. Marty knew it’s not just about the pitch it’s about creating urgency and FOMO.
•⁠ ⁠The right ask matters:
❌ “Pylon is raising $17M. Here’s the deck. Want to meet?”
✅ “Have you met Marty? They’re raising now—let me know, I can likely get you in.”
→ Makes investors feel like they’re about to miss out on something hot.
•⁠ ⁠Simplicity wins:
Built their pitch deck the night before—no data room.
Focused on what mattered: team, market, traction.

📢 What’s the takeaway?
Fundraising is about more than money. It’s about creating momentum, using relationships, and playing the game smart.

2025 Crypto Predictions from Haseeb Qureshi (Managing Partner, Dragonfly Capital)

1. L1s/L2s: Blurring Boundaries

Overcrowding and Consolidation
The line between L1 and L2 is practically gone—users rarely notice whether they’re interacting with one or the other. Because the market is saturated, projects with a distinctive niche and strong go-to-market (GTM) strategies stand the best chance of surviving.

EVM Dominance
Despite rising interest in SVM and Move, EVM-based solutions are expected to keep growing. Base, Monad, and Berachain are highlighted as potential drivers here. Part of the reason is that AI will generate much of the application code by 2025, and EVM boasts a large library of trusted contracts.

Latency Wars
Solana has pushed the industry to care less about TPS and more about near-instant confirmations. Platforms like Doublezero and Megaeth Labs could push responsiveness even further toward what people are used to in web2. Expect simpler user flows, in-browser wallets, and more seamless onboarding.

Specialized Chains
Hyperliquid demonstrated that focusing on a single use case and ensuring easy bridging can be highly effective. The era of “one chain to rule them all” appears over.

2. Token Launches: Two-Track Model

Track One: KPI-Driven Airdrops
Protocols with a clear metric (e.g., trading volume for exchanges) will continue points-based airdrops. They’re essentially giving tokens back to real users—even the so-called “farmers” are actual participants.

Track Two: Crowdsales for Everything Else
Projects without a well-defined KPI (often L1s/L2s) will move toward crowdfunding instead of handing out large vanity airdrops, which tend to end up with professional farmers.

Memecoins → “AI Agent” Coins
Memecoins may begin to lose traction to projects calling themselves “AI agent” coins. The shift is described as going from “financial nihilism” to “financial over-optimism.”

3. Stablecoins: Real Business Adoption

SMBs and Instant Settlement
Small and medium businesses are expected to adopt stablecoins for quick, everyday payments—not just speculation.

Banks Enter the Scene
By late 2025, banks could announce their own stablecoins; however, Tether might keep dominating, influenced by who’s in government leadership.

Yield Opportunities
As treasury yields drop, platforms like Ethena Labs might gain popularity among those seeking stable returns or hedges.

4. Regulation: Partial Progress

Stablecoin Laws Pass
The US is likely to regulate stablecoins specifically, fueling their broader use. Meanwhile, larger crypto reform packages (e.g., FIT21) may get postponed.

Regulatory “Jubilee”
A friendlier environment under Trump might embolden Fortune 100s to roll out crypto offerings more aggressively, at least until firm rules and enforcement are established.

5. AI Agents: Hype vs. Reality

Extended Hype, Then Cooldown
So-called “AI agents” will be everywhere in 2025 but could eventually fade. Currently, they’re more like chatbots plus tokens—fully autonomous AI is still rare.

Influencer Replacement
Bots can produce content around the clock, don’t complain about pay, and stick to a script. Over time, though, people might tire of them.

Bot Fatigue & Scambot Threat
As bots flood the space, some will hide that they are AI, and others will target victims through scams. It could resemble the surge in ransomware after 2017.

Not a Trading Revolution
AI won’t automatically turn retail users into top-notch traders. Instead, it will amplify the advantages of trading firms with large capital reserves and extensive data. Eventually, markets (even smaller ones) become super-efficient.

Software-Dev Agents
The most revolutionary AI impact may be in coding. With AI drastically lowering development costs (think $10K for compute), the number of new dApps could explode. AI-run audits could also boost security, favoring defenders over attackers.

6. Crypto x AI: Two-Way Influence

AI Using Crypto
Fully autonomous agents might rely on stablecoins for internal transactions—faster and easier to set up than bank accounts.

📥 The Harsh Truth About Your First Pitch Deck

Sending your pitch deck to an investor feels monumental—but here are three brutal truths to keep in mind:

1️⃣ It’s a multitasking moment. Investors rarely carve out time for a first glance; your deck will likely be skimmed amidst emails or calls.
2️⃣ Mobile rules. If your deck doesn’t shine on a smartphone, you lose half the battle before it starts.
3️⃣ First impressions are everything. If your opening slides don’t make an impact, you risk being swiped away—permanently.

🔥 Harsh? Yes. But here’s the good news: a well-crafted pitch can cut through the noise and grab attention. It’s not just about what you’re pitching—it’s about how you pitch.

💰 UAE Rumored to Hold $40B in Bitcoin 💰

State of play:
Unconfirmed reports suggest the UAE has accumulated $40B in Bitcoin, potentially making it one of the largest national cryptocurrency holders.

🟢This speculation gained traction following a tweet by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao referencing the alleged holdings.

🟢Analysts estimate the UAE holds ~411,978 BTC, ranking it among the top three global BTC holders and the leading national government in crypto accumulation.

🟢Middle Eastern countries have been speculated to increase their BTC reserves, however, these reports remain unverified.

For builders and investors:
If true, this could signal a growing interest from governments in leveraging Bitcoin for financial diversification, which might prompt both developers and investors to watch closely for the long-term impact on market dynamics.

🚀 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.
