We also note Binance's 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.200 investment in a crypto game publisher and the 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.579 impact of AI debates on Hollywood writers. Today's 00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:10.219 podcast will talk about fractionalized NFTs loaned 00:01:10.219 --> 00:01:13.739 to museums, Polygon's POL token launch, and layoffs 00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:16.879 at Dapper Labs. We discuss Arkham's Marketplace's 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.359 divisive role in the crypto community, Tron Dao's 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.120 developer tour, and an investigation into a former 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.879 FTX exec. Additionally, ConsenSys' ZKVM roll 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.120 -up network revelation, Russia's approval of 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.200 a national CBDC project, and the upcoming Binance 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.459 BNB chain hardfork will be analyzed. We'll delve 00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:37.260 into Ripple VSEC ruling, the fall of Bitcoin 00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:40.239 and Kava prices, Pepecoin analysis, and South 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.780 Korean crypto holding regulations. We discussed 00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:45.299 the Matic -to -Pole proposal, comparison between 00:01:45.299 --> 00:01:47.980 gold and cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin's all -time 00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:50.959 highs in Argentina, the FTX bankruptcy case, 00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.480 and WalletPay's crypto payment enablement on 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.000 Telegram. Finally, we explore the revolutionized 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.459 sponsorship model by Noster's apps and Value 00:01:59.459 --> 00:02:03.959 for Value podcasting. So, let's dive into some 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.340 interesting news in the cryptocurrency and blockchain 00:02:06.340 --> 00:02:09.280 world. First up, we have an update on Grayscale 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.150 Bitcoin shares, GBTC, The GBTC discount has recently 00:02:14.150 --> 00:02:16.509 hit its lowest point since last summer. What 00:02:16.509 --> 00:02:19.210 does this mean? Well, it suggests that there's 00:02:19.210 --> 00:02:22.090 renewed hope for an ETF approval in the US or 00:02:22.090 --> 00:02:24.629 the beginning of Bitcoin redemptions. Moving 00:02:24.629 --> 00:02:27.789 on, we have Lunar Crush, a social analytics platform 00:02:27.789 --> 00:02:30.629 that has managed to raise $5 million in Series 00:02:30.629 --> 00:02:33.340 A funding. But that's not all. They are aiming 00:02:33.340 --> 00:02:35.979 to expand their focus beyond just crypto and 00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:38.719 NFTs. They want to venture into stocks using 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.360 artificial intelligence. It seems like Lunar 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.460 Crush's ambitions know no bounds. In regulatory 00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:47.159 news, the EU banking watchdog has issued stable 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.819 coin guidance and is urging compliance ahead 00:02:49.819 --> 00:02:53.360 of MyCA. MyCA refers to the bloc's landmark rules 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.060 for the crypto industry. This highlights the 00:02:56.060 --> 00:02:58.400 regulator's determination to ensure a compliant 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.020 crypto industry. Now let's talk about the Cool 00:03:01.020 --> 00:03:03.860 Cats NFT project. They are taking their gaming 00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:06.259 endeavors to the next level with three upcoming 00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:09.280 titles. These games will offer action, puzzle, 00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:12.319 and endless runner experiences. And the best 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.719 part? All three games are set to release within 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.219 the next nine months. It looks like Cool Cats 00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:20.110 fans have a lot to look forward to. Shifting 00:03:20.110 --> 00:03:23.009 gears, we have Sound, a platform that has recently 00:03:23.009 --> 00:03:26.469 raised an impressive $20 million. What's interesting 00:03:26.469 --> 00:03:28.650 is that this platform is open to all artists 00:03:28.650 --> 00:03:30.889 and allows them to drop their on -chain music. 00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:34.469 Sound has already paid out $5 .5 million to artists 00:03:34.469 --> 00:03:37.050 over the past year, including big names like 00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:39.530 Snoop Dogg. It's great to see more opportunities 00:03:39.530 --> 00:03:42.969 for artists in the crypto space. Speaking of 00:03:42.969 --> 00:03:45.349 crypto, let's discuss the recent trading activity 00:03:45.349 --> 00:03:48.689 of Bitcoin and Ethereum. These leading cryptocurrencies 00:03:48.689 --> 00:03:52.150 have been trading relatively flat. However, following 00:03:52.150 --> 00:03:54.770 the release of the June Consumer Price Index 00:03:54.770 --> 00:03:58.490 CPI figures, which indicate a 3 % inflation rate 00:03:58.490 --> 00:04:01.810 in the US, both Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced 00:04:01.810 --> 00:04:04.949 a slight rise. It seems that inflation concerns 00:04:04.949 --> 00:04:07.889 continue to influence the crypto market. Next 00:04:07.889 --> 00:04:11.530 up, we have Get Protocol, a platform that aims 00:04:11.530 --> 00:04:15.000 to take on Ticketmaster using NFT tickets. Get 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.319 Protocol has recently raised $4 .5 million in 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.660 seed funding with support from Flow Ventures 00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:23.660 and the Tezos Foundation. They are emphasizing 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:27.160 a web 2 .5 inches approach to ticketing, indicating 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.100 their innovative vision for the future. In the 00:04:30.100 --> 00:04:32.879 world of cryptocurrency wallets, Coinbase has 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.319 introduced a new messaging service to its self 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.060 -custody wallet. This feature essentially combines 00:04:38.060 --> 00:04:40.459 the functionality of popular messaging apps like 00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:43.180 Telegram and Cash App. It's a convenient way 00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:45.519 for users to communicate within the wallet platform. 00:04:46.379 --> 00:04:49.019 Now let's talk about Threads, Meta's new social 00:04:49.019 --> 00:04:52.060 media platform. While Threads and Twitter share 00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:54.420 some similarities, there are key differences. 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.579 One notable difference is the bifurcated newsfeed 00:04:57.579 --> 00:04:59.939 feature that Twitter introduced following Elon 00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:03.500 Musk's takeover. On the other hand, Threads currently 00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:07.060 only offers a single newsfeed. It will be interesting 00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:09.879 to see how Threads competes with Twitter in the 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.689 ever -evolving social media landscape. Moving 00:05:12.689 --> 00:05:15.629 on to the LBRY token, it recently experienced 00:05:15.629 --> 00:05:19.269 an 18 % drop in value. This follows the announcement 00:05:19.269 --> 00:05:21.709 that the file sharing crypto project will be 00:05:21.709 --> 00:05:24.709 shutting down operations. LBRY's decision comes 00:05:24.709 --> 00:05:27.129 after a final judgment in their case with the 00:05:27.129 --> 00:05:30.009 SEC. It's unfortunate to see a project come to 00:05:30.009 --> 00:05:32.730 an end, but it's a reminder of the regulatory 00:05:32.730 --> 00:05:36.230 challenges in the crypto space. Now, let's discuss 00:05:36.230 --> 00:05:39.029 some news regarding the Silk Road Bitcoin. There 00:05:39.029 --> 00:05:41.750 are speculations that the US government is preparing 00:05:41.750 --> 00:05:44.170 to sell the seized Bitcoin from the infamous 00:05:44.170 --> 00:05:47.610 darknet marketplace, Silk Road. As expected, 00:05:48.290 --> 00:05:50.689 such news has a significant impact on the market, 00:05:51.250 --> 00:05:53.550 stirring reactions from investors and enthusiasts 00:05:53.550 --> 00:05:57.050 alike. On the topic of regulations, Senator Cynthia 00:05:57.050 --> 00:06:00.209 Lummis, often referred to as the Bitcoin Senator, 00:06:00.870 --> 00:06:03.629 has renewed her push to address the erratic regulatory 00:06:03.629 --> 00:06:06.459 framework surrounding cryptocurrencies. She has 00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:08.680 been working on a bipartisan bill with Senator 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.360 Kirsten Gillibrand for over a year, and it is 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.420 now ready to be reintroduced. This development 00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:16.740 shows that some lawmakers are committed to creating 00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:19.860 a more favorable environment for the crypto industry. 00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:23.519 Finally, let's talk about Elon Musk, the visionary 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.620 and sometimes controversial figure in the tech 00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:28.699 world. After acquiring Twitter, Musk has now 00:06:28.699 --> 00:06:31.000 set his sights on untangling the very fabric 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.259 of reality with his new AI startup called XAI. 00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:37.300 It's quite fascinating to see his ambitious ventures 00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:40.120 and how they impact various sectors. And speaking 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.660 of tech giants, Google is making moves in the 00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:44.899 blockchain space. Their Play Store will soon 00:06:44.899 --> 00:06:47.939 allow games and apps to offer NFTs. This move 00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:50.420 is aimed at providing a safe, transparent, and 00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:52.819 trusted experience for users interested in blockchain 00:06:52.819 --> 00:06:55.699 games and NFTs. It's another step towards mainstream 00:06:55.699 --> 00:06:59.079 adoption. To wrap things up, despite rising token 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.000 prices, crypto crime has seen a significant drop 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.170 in 2023. While this is promising news, it's important 00:07:06.170 --> 00:07:08.750 to remain vigilant and continue implementing 00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:12.110 robust security measures to ensure a safe and 00:07:12.110 --> 00:07:14.990 secure crypto ecosystem for everyone. That's 00:07:14.990 --> 00:07:18.269 all for now. Stay tuned for more exciting developments 00:07:18.269 --> 00:07:20.750 in the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain 00:07:20.750 --> 00:07:34.279 technology. ransomware attacks are becoming more 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.839 prevalent. It's a constant tug of war between 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.720 cyber criminals and cybersecurity. Moving on, 00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:42.740 let's talk about Cancer GPT, an impressive AI 00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:44.800 system that can predict the outcomes of cancer 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.399 treatment research. This exciting development 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.420 could potentially revolutionize the field of 00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:52.379 medicine, providing valuable insights and improving 00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:55.819 patient care. In other news, a recent study suggests 00:07:55.819 --> 00:07:58.269 that large pre -trained language models have 00:07:58.269 --> 00:08:00.670 the ability to forecast how drug combinations 00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:03.829 affect rare tissues. This could have significant 00:08:03.829 --> 00:08:06.550 implications for drug discovery and personalized 00:08:06.550 --> 00:08:09.250 medicine. Shifting gears, lobbyists are raising 00:08:09.250 --> 00:08:12.250 concerns about a crypto bill proposed by McHenry. 00:08:12.949 --> 00:08:14.990 They claim that this bill could weaken consumer 00:08:14.990 --> 00:08:17.670 and investor protections. The lobbyists argue 00:08:17.670 --> 00:08:20.089 that while other technologies have proven their 00:08:20.089 --> 00:08:22.769 worth, the potential of cryptocurrency always 00:08:22.769 --> 00:08:26.000 seems to be just on the horizon. Speaking of 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.060 exciting technologies, there is a groundbreaking 00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:30.480 discovery in the world of quantum computing. 00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:33.720 Scientists have observed an unusual superconducting 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.700 state in specific atoms, which could unlock the 00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:39.620 potential for even more powerful quantum computers 00:08:39.620 --> 00:08:42.700 in the future. The possibilities are mind -boggling. 00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:45.059 Now let's delve into the world of art and blockchain. 00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:49.080 A photograph of the iconic notorious big is up 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.840 for auction, accompanied by an Ethereum NFT. 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.480 This unique fusion of art and blockchain technology 00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:58.179 continues to gain traction and attract interest 00:08:58.179 --> 00:09:00.940 from enthusiasts and collectors. In the realm 00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:03.639 of gaming, Binance Labs has invested a whopping 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.039 $15 million in Xterio, a crypto game publisher. 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.139 With upcoming NFT and crypto games like Age of 00:09:10.139 --> 00:09:13.120 Dino and Overworld, Xterio is set to make waves 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.000 in the gaming industry. Switching gears once 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.740 again, Hollywood writers are pondering the next 00:09:18.740 --> 00:09:21.799 moves of the Actors Guild amid ongoing debates 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.799 about AI. Some writers are concerned about their 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.320 work being dissected and processed by machines, 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:30.559 questioning the impact of AI on creativity and 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.620 intellectual property. On the topic of NFTs, 00:09:34.059 --> 00:09:36.940 Particle, a fractionalized NFT project, has loaned 00:09:36.940 --> 00:09:39.899 a Banksy artwork worth $12 .9 million to several 00:09:39.899 --> 00:09:42.659 global museums. The decision to loan the artwork 00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:45.279 was made collectively by the artwork's 10 ,000 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.080 co -owners. This shows the democratic nature 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.279 and potential of fractionalized ownership in 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.460 the art world. Polygon, a popular blockchain 00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:56.240 network, is set to launch its P -ALL token as 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.139 part of its transition to Polygon 2 .0. This 00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:02.600 network upgrade aims to enhance the functionality 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.700 and scalability of Polygon, making it even more 00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:08.259 suitable for various applications and use cases. 00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:11.879 In unfortunate news, Dapper Labs, the developer 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.940 behind NBA Top Shot, has announced another round 00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:17.899 of layoffs. This marks the third round of layoffs 00:10:17.899 --> 00:10:20.559 in less than a year, raising concerns about the 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.220 company's stability and the future of NBA Top 00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:26.200 Shot. Moving on to a controversial topic, Arkham's 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.399 new docks to earn marketplace has stirred up 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.960 mixed reactions in the crypto community. Some 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.000 argue that this marketplace goes against the 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.500 founding ethos of crypto, while others see the 00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:37.759 potential for a new and innovative approach to 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.480 incentivize intelligence sharing. In Tron related 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.799 news, Trondow is starting its builder tour in 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.600 New York.

These movements in the crypto market can 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.860 be worrisome for investors. In the world of cryptocurrency, 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.100 there's always speculation about potential crashes 00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:28.000 and one coin that's currently under scrutiny 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.879 is Pepecoin. People are wondering if a crash 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:34.340 is imminent and what factors they should keep 00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:37.899 an eye on. A thorough Pepe price analysis can 00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:40.600 shed some light on this matter. It's not just 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.759 investors who are looking closely at the crypto 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.879 market. Regulators are also taking proactive 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.860 measures. The South Korean regulatory body, for 00:12:48.860 --> 00:12:51.639 instance, plans to demand clear disclosures on 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.360 firms crypto holding starting in 2024. This move 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.039 aims to bring more transparency to the industry 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.240 and protect investors. In the world of cryptocurrencies, 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.759 innovation is always on the horizon. One such 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.200 proposal that has caught attention is the potential 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.000 transformation of Matic into Puel. This new polygon 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:14.659 proposal maps out an ambitious 2 .0 roadmap that 00:13:14.659 --> 00:13:17.120 could significantly impact the crypto landscape. 00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:20.120 While cryptocurrencies continue to gain prominence, 00:13:20.409 --> 00:13:22.850 It's worth noting that the foundation of cryptography 00:13:22.850 --> 00:13:26.289 is robust and secure. Some argue that it is even 00:13:26.289 --> 00:13:29.350 stronger than gold. Unlike gold, which relies 00:13:29.350 --> 00:13:31.549 on social constructs like order and property 00:13:31.549 --> 00:13:34.330 rights, cryptography relies on one's ability 00:13:34.330 --> 00:13:37.250 to keep secrets. It functions independently of 00:13:37.250 --> 00:13:40.090 social order, making it an intriguing alternative 00:13:40.090 --> 00:13:43.009 to traditional forms of value. Gold, on the other 00:13:43.009 --> 00:13:46.000 hand, has its limitations. While it has been 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.220 historically viewed as a valuable asset and a 00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:51.080 form of currency, its value depends on its ability 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.639 to be light, durable, and transportable over 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.759 distance. In comparison, assets like sheep, which 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.059 can reproduce and create more value over time, 00:13:59.539 --> 00:14:02.340 can serve as a better store of value. Moreover, 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.120 the ability to transfer assets over distance 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.500 plays a crucial role in their suitability as 00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:10.840 currency. In the fall of the Bronze Age civilization 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.389 and the Western Roman Empire, The preference 00:14:13.389 --> 00:14:16.389 for practical assets like apples over gold emerged. 00:14:16.950 --> 00:14:19.309 Moving on to Bitcoin, it's worth mentioning that 00:14:19.309 --> 00:14:22.970 it has reached all time highs in Argentina. The 00:14:22.970 --> 00:14:25.070 volatile nature of cryptocurrencies can lead 00:14:25.070 --> 00:14:27.710 to extraordinary fluctuations in different markets. 00:14:28.269 --> 00:14:31.330 In recent news, FTX bankruptcy lawyers have requested 00:14:31.330 --> 00:14:36.110 a $323 million recovery from FTX Europe leadership. 00:14:36.750 --> 00:14:39.409 This development showcases the legal complications 00:14:39.409 --> 00:14:42.720 surrounding cryptocurrency platforms. and underscores 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.059 the need for regulatory oversight in this evolving 00:14:45.059 --> 00:14:48.879 landscape. Moreover, WalletPay has enabled Bitcoin, 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.179 Tether, and Toncoin payments on the popular messaging 00:14:52.179 --> 00:14:55.659 platform Telegram. This integration presents 00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:58.120 an opportunity for more seamless and widespread 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.700 adoption of cryptocurrencies. In the podcasting 00:15:01.700 --> 00:15:03.820 realm, there have been significant changes in 00:15:03.820 --> 00:15:06.620 the sponsorship model.
