⚡️BRC-20, You can't stay indifferent any longer
After the BRC-20 launch, the use cases for Bitcoin L2s are only growing, as they open new possibilities for cross-chain interoperability and scalability. They are bringing a whole world of utility that no one thought would exist on Bitcoin.
If you want to dip your toe in the water of BRC-20 tokens, here are a couple of simple steps to get you started!
🟡To begin, you’ll need a Bitcoin wallet:
Some common BRC-20 wallets are UniSat, Xverse, and OKX Wallet.
This will allow you to hold and trade BRC-20 tokens and in many cases, you can even mint your own BRC-20 token.
🟡For trading BRC-20 tokens, check out:
B20 by Alex, a DEX for trading BRC-20 tokens
Magic Eden, a marketplace for BRC-20 tokens
UniSat, a marketplace for BRC-20 tokens
BTC ecosystem are growing in popularity as users begin to see their value.

😮🚀 Strategic Quest Campaigns in Crypto Marketing 🌟
Quest campaigns have revolutionized the crypto marketing landscape. Yet NOT all quests are created equal or generate equal results.
Opting for basic, Zealy raffle-type quests for follows and retweets might boost your vanity metrics temporarily.
❌ However, this approach attracts a community interested solely in bounties, airdrops, and freebies - lacking genuine engagement and interest. ⛔️
On the flip side, a meticulously crafted strategic quest campaign can catapult your community and traction metrics by X100.
✅ Imagine attracting tens of thousands of enthusiastic participants, eager to add value to your ecosystem, inject liquidity, and foster a supportive atmosphere. ✅
But Why Such a Difference?
The secret lies in the strategic blend of savvy tactics and smart strategies, tailored to web3 growth marketing and aligned with your business objectives.
Need some help in designing and managing the community quest campaign that will generate outstanding results, impress investors & skyrocket your launch?

🎉Preparing for the crypto weekend🚀
As we are heading into the weekend, let's have a short recap of this #cryptoweek so far!
🌤Starknet, an L2 validity rollup, airdropped 7% of its total token supply to eligible wallets; an awaited release that had the crypto community torn. The $STRK token price experienced a rapid rise to ∼ $3.4 but retraced back to the $2 mark and has been trading sideways.
🖼$Pandora and the introduction of the ERC-404 token standard is a breath of fresh air for the NFT space, blending the attributes of fungible and non-fungible tokens.
It allows for the fractionalisation of NFTs via ERC-404 tokens, igniting innovation for lending protocols and other players looking to take advantage of it.
💸BRC-20 is another exciting fungible token standard currently in the limelight.
> The Bitcoin ecosystem is on the rise with lots of startups replicating protocols from the Ethereum ecosystem and implementing them into BTC.
> With a huge gap in terms of TVL (ETH ∼$46 B, BSC ∼$4.2B, ARB ∼$3B, SOL ∼$2B and BTC ∼$1.6B) the upside opportunity for AMMs, lending protocols, aggregators etc. is enormous.
> Projects building in the Bitcoin ecosystem have an advantageous position of knowing what is needed, what works and what are the hurdles based on the history of Ethereum, allowing them to develop user-friendly products from the get-go.
🧠AI and Blockchain go hand-in-hand and this can be clearly seen by the large number of startups incorporating AI and machine learning into web3 products. Security and marketing are identified as two of the most prominent segments that could benefit from AI and the insights that these algorithms generate. From wallet inspection, fraudulent activity prevention to specific customer profiles and targeted campaigns; are some of the many solutions being built.
🔥
Have a great weekend ahead, stay safe and don't forget to buckle up; the cryptoverse is on the rise!

🦄Cryptoverse in a glimpse!🌐
💎 Weekly Narrative💎
With AI being one of the strongest narratives this week in the cryptoverse, we’ve seen increased volume for such coins:
$AGIX (23.98%), $ALI (12.16%), $FET (18.94%), $OCEAN (13.75%), $ORAI (6.99%)
🛫 Starknet Airdrop🛬
On-chain data shows that #Wintermute may be the market maker, having received 2M $STRK and deposited 500K $STRK to #Binance.
The starknet airdrop has not been received by active community as initially expected.
This can be seen by a recent drop in token price.
There has also been a negative sentiment on crypto twitter with many accounts citing an unfair airdrop where wallets with minimum interaction and transactions received large amounts of tokens compared to more active wallets.
Big wallets of over $1M STRK have dumped their holding producing large selling pressure to the token.
So far, Nethermind has sold a total of 954,100 $STRK for 2.3M $USDC @ $2.41.
FlowTraders received 5M $STRK and sold 653K $STRK($2.48M) @ $3.79 on DEXs.
💼 Bitcoin ETF 💼
Since the launch of the Bitcoin spot ETFs there has been an inflow of $5.06B in the ecosystem.
As of the writing of this post, the total on-chain holdings of BTC ETFs are ₿724.3k, corresponding to 3.69% of the total supply.
Bitcoin is establishing itself as an alternative asset class and a viable investment for TradFi institutions.
It eliminates psychological barriers for institutional investors while producing trickle down effects to the whole industry from increased investments into web3 startups, more DeFi adoption, real-world asset tokenization, better governmental regulation, etc.
💬Prepared for you with ❤️ & care by Ioannis Xyridakis, Crypto VC Analyst at InnMind
Today the dominant crypto narratives are AI, ETF, GameFi, L2 & ZK, LRT & BRC20.
