🚀 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 🔥

☄️ EigenLayer getting exposed!
Allegations of insider trading by the EigenLayer team are circulating due to significant token airdrops by projects to employees of Eigen Labs.
🔎 CoinDesk's analysis revealed that each Eigen Labs employee received 46,512 ALT, 10,490.9 ETHFI, and 66,667 REZ from AltLayer, EtherFi, and Renzo, valued at $30,000, $80,000, and $16,666 at peak prices.
On-chain records show that employees claimed a total of 487,928 ETHFI ($3.5M), 1,733,342 REZ ($433,300), and 1,539,563 ALT ($1.02M) between January and June 2024.
The controversy hinges on the question of whether these airdrops created a conflict of interest. EigenLayer is a foundational platform within the Ethereum ecosystem, and its influence on the success or failure of projects within its ecosystem is significant.
In response to the growing concerns, Eigen Labs changed their policies, banning airdrops to employees and introduced stricter guidelines preventing employees from influencing transactions for personal gain.
📉 Despite the response from Eigen Labs, the restaking protocol suffered a decline in TVL from $12.65B to $12.30B depicted on the chart on defi llama.

Читать полностью…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.

📉 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.
