Before we dive in, let’s take a moment to remember Jesse Xiong (1995-2023) 🕊️

Jesse wasn't just our Global Director of Community at BEN but also a friend and mentor whose energy and creativity knew no bounds. 🚀

Jesse transformed blockchain into something fun and accessible, launching initiatives like BlockHack 🛠️ and organizing the first-ever Delaware Blockchain Hackathon in 2018. His ability to light up a room and inspire with his contagious laughter and innovative ideas made every event memorable.

We all remember his passion for music and how he could switch from discussing blockchain trends to sharing his latest DJ tracks. That blend of arts and tech made his approach uniquely Jesse—creative, engaging, and always inspiring.

Jesse taught us to think big, laugh often, and dive deep into our passions. As we continue to grow at BEN, we carry his spirit with us—innovative, inclusive, and a little bit revolutionary. ✨

Ethereum ETFs Were Approved — So Why Isn’t Ether’s Price Soaring? 📉

Despite the SEC's recent approval of Ethereum ETFs, Ether's price hasn’t surged as expected, remaining around $3,840.

Here’s why:

1/1 Inflation concerns persist, and with the U.S. manufacturing sector heating up, inflation rates are staying high. 🔥

1/2 This economic condition compels the Federal Reserve to sustain higher interest rates to manage inflation, which, in turn, boosts the appeal of lower-risk investments. 💸

1/3 Assets like U.S. Treasuries offer predictable returns, drawing investors away from more volatile investments like cryptocurrencies. 🏦

Billionaires wanted it, but 54,578 everyday investors got it first… and profited

When incredibly rare and valuable assets come up for sale, it's typically the wealthiest people that end up taking home an amazing investment. But not always…

One platform is taking on the billionaires at their own game, buying up and securitizing some of history’s most prized blue-chip artworks for its investors. In just the last few years, its investors have realized annualized net returns of 17.8%, 21.5%, 35% and more from these opportunities. 

It's called Masterworks. Their nearly $1 billion collection includes works by greats like Banksy, Picasso, and Basquiat, all of which are collectively owned by everyday investors. When Masterworks sells a painting – like the 16 it's already sold – investors reap their portion of the  net proceeds.

It's easy to get started but offerings can sell out in minutes. However, as a trusted partner, readers can skip the waitlist to join with this exclusive link.

Performance of exited investments is not representative of artwork that has not yet sold and past performance is not indicative of future results. See important disclosures at masterworks.com/cd

🥁 Emerging Crypto Trends from Mainnet 2023

Mainnet 2023 this year was a blast. Our members got to network and learn from VC’s, investors, founders, builders, traders, and even politicians.

Started off the first night with the Cosmos party hosted by Outlier Ventures, Agoric, and more. We learned that there is much excitement around fast-growing Cosmos projects like Neutron, Nibiru, and Osmosis. Not to mention NFT marketplaces, NFT identity, and RWAs.

Cosmos NYC Mainnet Meetup

Decentralized credential issued by Creds.xyz

Day 1 of the conference was great. Visited each booth to learn what the makeup of projects were. Plenty of market makers, custodian solutions, accounting & tax solutions, and more.

Booth area at Mainnet. Very focused towards enterprise solutions and onboarding traditional investors

The talks were also pretty interesting, focusing in on AI & regulation. Ryan Selkis moderated many of the high profile talks, including with Anthony Scaramucci and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Discussion with former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci

Discussion with presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy

Back on the exhibition floor, Worldcoin was onboarding new users with their famous/infamous orbs. We covered Worldcoin before in Lisbon, and this was another chance to see the orbs in person and see how they worked.

Coinbase had their Coinbase Cafe on the second floor, with their own set of specialized talks and to promote the “Stand with Crypto” campaign, which advocates for pro-crypto policy in DC.

At BEN we also share side events with all our members, and at Mainnet there were easily over 100. At the Cosmos Snap launch party, we learned more about MetaMask Snaps. Pretty incredible stuff, as this new technology will let MetaMask users switch more easily between non-EVM chains.

Farcaster Happy Hour

Closing off this post by highlighting one of our og BEN alum, Jelena Noble, who spoke at Mainnet. Her company, Noble, is supercharging Cosmos by allowing native asset issuance on-chain across the whole IBC ecosystem.

We’ve partnered with Mainnet for many years and highly recommend this conference, especially during a bear market like now where the real innovation and key opinion leaders shine through.

BEN membership comes with an elite networking group granting members exclusive access to top conferences, networking opportunities, and much more.

🥁 Is SocialFi the Next Big Thing in Crypto?

SocialFi are social media platforms that use Web3 and DeFi. They are about giving users ownership over their content, reducing censorship, and decentralizing platform infrastructure. 🌐🔓

Giving users control of their own data alone is something that many have wanted in social media for a long time, but SocialFi also gives creators new ways to monetize, from paying out tokens for every like and comment to having built-in features for launching NFT and distributing collections. 💰💬🎨

Usually, your profile on a SocialFi platform is a crypto wallet, so it can also receive and send tokens and NFTs, as well as use NFTs as your username and profile pictures. 📱💼🎉

Enough overview, let’s go over some examples!

1. Friend.tech 🤝

Friend.tech is the most famous recent one, which lets users tokenize themselves and “sell” those tokens to fans. Why? Buying these tokens gives you special benefits, such as exclusive content, depending on the creator. 📈📉

The platform launched less than a month ago, and brought in big name crypto influencers, NBA players, and even OnlyFans creators. It reached a peak of 39,000 daily transactions on August 21st. However, activity fell 95% to 1,400 by August 28th.

2. Farcaster 🟣

Farcaster is protocol for decentralized social apps, so there are multiple apps that access the same social graph. Basically, you can launch your own social media app and import Farcaster’s userbase and post history, and any future posts would be synced across all the other apps that use Farcaster.

This lets you take your data, follower history, and more with you across different social media platforms. No more having to start over with each new platform. 🔄📚

Farcaster has 15,000+ users with over 1 million public posts and a waitlist of 10,000 more who want to join the invite-only beta.

3. Lens Protocol 🌿

Lens has existed the longest of the three, being spun out of the popular Aave DeFi lending protocol. Similar to Farcaster, Lens actually has a collection of different apps that all connect to the same social dataset.

Each user’s profile is an NFT, with a username that ends in .lens and can plug into other blockchain projects. Ex: you can buy and sell Lens profiles on OpenSea, send Lens DMs inside of metaverses like The Sandbox, and more! 💎🌐

Now the ultimate question- will these projects have tokens? 🤔

Well, it’s not clear. Lens hasn’t made an announcement on an official token, nor has Friendtech or Farcaster. It’s unclear if they will launch their own tokens given the scrutiny that crypto tokens have come under as of late. 🪂💸

BUT there are airdrops! For example, Jam is a dApp that launched in 2022 and aims to airdrop Jam token to Farcaster, Lens, and Friendtech users in order to incentivize users to use their dApp. 🎁👑

And, since these platforms are all about giving creators new ways to monetize, there may be opportunities there to participate early and be rewarded! 🌟🚀

🥁 Court Rules that SEC Must Review Grayscale's ETF Bid

So Grayscale Investments launched a product in 2013 called the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), where accredited investors can “hold” Bitcoin by buying shares in the trust instead of buying Bitcoin directly. They currently manage over $16 billion!

In 2021, they applied to convert GBTC into a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF), which we mentioned in a previous newsletter would be game-changer for the crypto space. Basically, being able to buy Bitcoin through traditional means, i.e. like a stock on Nasdaq, would be very bullish for family offices and large institutional investors.

They wouldn’t have to worry about how to store their Bitcoin and wouldn’t need to deal with reporting crypto taxes, they can just report it like regular stock

But in June 2022, Grayscale’s application was rejected by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the account that Bitcoin is still too small and could be subject to market manipulation.

However, just today, the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit sided with Grayscale.

This means that the SEC will have to take another look, and Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETF could be the first spot Bitcoin ETF in the US.

Bitcoin is up 6.8% today, coincidence 🤔?

🥁 $1.77 Billion Lost in a Blink! How did 61,000 BTC Vanish?

Nope, this time wasn´t SBF…

Let’s dive into the wild, untold stories of early Bitcoin exchanges 🔍

Bitcoinica

Created by 17-year-old Zhou Tong, Bitcoinica introduced margin trading and shorting to Bitcoin. It quickly became a magnet for traders, with transaction volumes soaring past almost every other exchange 🚀

But security was Bitcoinica’s Achilles' heel. In March 2012, its hosting provider, Linode, was hacked, leading to a loss of 43,000 BTC for Bitcoinica (worth $1.25 billion today at $29K/BTC) 😱

The nightmare didn’t end there. In May 2012, Bitcoinica was hacked again, leading to a further loss of 18,000 BTC (worth $522 million today!) This time, the loss was too great. Bitcoinica was forced to shut down 📉

Mt. Gox

Mt. Gox was the King of Bitcoin exchanges, handling over 3 million BTC per month. Hacked in 2011, it later filed for bankruptcy. Kraken stepped in to aid Mt. Gox users in recovering lost funds.

MyBitcoin

MyBitcoin, a major online wallet provider, vanished in 2011, taking 51% of its users' stored Bitcoins with it. A stark reminder of the risks of centralized wallets 🚫

These stories aren't just history - they're lessons. They shaped the crypto space, pushing for better security, transparency, and user education.

"Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins." 🔑 is a mantra in the crypto community, emphasizing the importance of holding your own private keys.

We've come far, but the journey continues...
