Author: flowie, ChainCatcher As the crypto community wails, many "legacy" projects born in the last two cycles are announcing their token launches one after another. Last night, OpenSea announced the launch of the $SEA token, followed by Doodles, which also announced the launch of the $DOOD token on Solana. This comes after the likes of Pudgy Penguins and Azuki, as two more NFT leaders join the token issuance frenzy. Not only in the NFT space, but also in the privacy projects that were popular in the last cycle but have almost disappeared in 2024, it seems that they are also trying to extend their lives through token issuance. Last night, Aztec Network, an Ethereum privacy layer backed by investment giants like a16z and Paradigm, established a foundation, possibly in preparation for an upcoming TGE. Pudgy Penguins, which issued tokens when they were ignored, saw their NFT floor price soar from 11 ETH to 35 ETH due to extremely high yield expectations from community players, with the opening FDV of their token PENGU exceeding $6 billion at its peak. Following the demonstration effect of Pudgy Penguins' token issuance, many blue-chip NFTs have collectively announced their token launches. However, compared to Pudgy Penguins, other NFTs that followed suit seem to have not garnered as much attention, and their NFT and token popularity is far below that of Pudgy Penguins. In mid-January, another blue-chip NFT, Azuki, announced the launch of the ANIME token. While the NFTs within the Azuki ecosystem saw some recovery, the price increases were generally modest, far from the gains of Pudgy Penguins. The Azuki series NFTs saw a daily increase of 17.42%, while other related series NFTs did not show significant rises. In December last year, after Doodles NFT founder Burnt Toast hinted at a token issuance in a tweet, the floor price of Doodles surged in a short time, breaking above 8 ETH before falling back to 6.7 ETH, marking a nearly 60% increase within 24 hours. After the official token announcement this morning, as of the time of writing, the Doodles NFT floor price remains at 4.449 ETH. Once the leading NFT platform, OpenSea, received mixed reactions from the community after revealing its token issuance news. During the NFT boom in 2021, OpenSea raised funds aggressively, with its valuation soaring to $13 billion. While the community actively traded in anticipation of airdrops, OpenSea insisted on pursuing an IPO route, facing backlash from the community. Now that the NFT market has cooled down, OpenSea is following Pudgy Penguins in issuing tokens without having achieved an IPO. In response, crypto KOL @BroLenoAus criticized, "This is OpenSea's last harvest before it turns into a zombie, essentially a death struggle," stating that after receiving the OpenSea airdrop, he would firmly choose to short it. Additionally, the newly launched platform OpenSea 2.0 (OS2), which was prepared for the TGE, has limited free access during the private testing phase to only Gemesis NFT holders, while other users must join a waiting list, causing dissatisfaction among community members who feel it favors early users and neglects the existing user base. However, @ElvisPoldark believes there is a positive side, suggesting that the new features of OpenSea 2.0, leveraged by the token issuance, may provide a new experience and compete with rivals like Blur. For instance, OpenSea 2.0 offers a one-stop service for NFTs and tokens, allowing users to purchase NFTs and tokens across multiple blockchains without manual bridging. Currently, more details about the airdrops and TGE for Doodles and OpenSea have yet to be finalized, and whether they can gain user support remains uncertain. Learning from the experiences of Pudgy Penguins and Trump tokens, "token issuance" may become a lifeline for old projects rather than reinventing the narrative. However, these former leaders backed by VC giants are facing significant bottlenecks and trust crises in their own businesses. OpenSea, once the largest NFT trading platform, peaked at a monthly trading volume of $5 billion in early 2021. However, according to Dune Analytics, its NFT trading volume last month was approximately $190 million, less than 4% of its peak. Faced with challenges from competitors like Blur and Magic Eden, OpenSea's market share has dropped from 90% in 2022 to around 30%. OpenSea is also facing regulatory compliance challenges. Meanwhile, the floor price of Doodles has fallen from a high of 25 ETH to 4.449 ETH. During the previous bear market, Doodles attempted to save itself by selling IP and related products, but the results have been minimal. As a star project in Ethereum privacy, Aztec Network raised over $100 million in four rounds of financing, with top investment teams like a16z, Paradigm, Coinbase Ventures, and HashKey Capital participating. However, after raising $100 million, Aztec Network suddenly announced a business transformation in March 2023, shutting down its DeFi privacy bridge project Aztec Connect and focusing on two new main products: a general-purpose development language Noir that supports zero-knowledge proofs and a new privacy blockchain. Facing the transformation and the delayed airdrop, community users have expressed disappointment towards Aztec, and since then, the project has not made significant progress or impact. Currently, in a market lacking liquidity and innovative models, where market attention is no longer easily captured by old narratives and VC tokens, it is a significant challenge for old narratives and projects that have lost some trust to attempt to reverse their fortunes through token issuance.

According to asset manager VanEck, a behind-the-scenes frenzy by lawmakers in 20 US States pushing for strategic Bitcoin Reserve bills has the potential to inject as much as $23 billion in demand for Bitcoin if the bills become law. Writing a post on his social media X account, Analyst Mathew Sigel, the Head of digital asset research at VanEck, revealed that over 30 proposals directed funds into the proposed reserves, with at least 20 of those bills already under review, could buy over 247,000 Bitcoin tokens. Bitcoin Reserve Bills $23B Potential Inflow in 20 US States Different Sources of Budgets According to the post, the Bitcoin Reserve Bill analysis doesn’t include potential Bitcoin purchases and allocations from pension funds that could arise due to the legislators in the 20 US States enacting the bills. Different states have measures focusing on how general budgets, special revenue accounts, and Rainy Day funds could be channeled into the Bitcoin buying frenzy, highlighting the various approaches they could use to make public money. Sigel stated: “This $23b number is potentially conservative, given the lack of details (many of these states are ‘n/a’ with size unknown).” Specific and Random Figures Proposed The Bitcoin Reserve Bills from each of the 20 US States mentioned have proposed specific figures, while others, like Montana and New Hampshire, do not mention specific figures. For Wyoming, reports indicate that the state initially aimed at allocating 3% of its $27.1 billion budget but has slowed down on the process as other states have their proposals through committees to introductory stages. New Mexico, Missouri, Iowa, and South Dakota are among the states pushing for varying percentages, revealing their shared outlook that the BTC could be a hedge or alternative store of value. Get Involved in Bitcoin’s Financial Innovation North Carolina became the latest entrant to the list of 20 US states planning to invest at least 10% of select state funds into crypto through the Bitcoin Reserve Bills. According to some legislators in the state, diversification and inflation hedging were the reasons for pushing into the crypto world. In contrast, others observed needing involvement in Bitcoin’s financial innovation. Nonetheless, there are pockets of critics concerned about BTC’s volatility, believing it remained a serious barrier to institutional adoption and the absence of an appropriate legal and political environment. Different stages of legislation Some States at Advanced Stages of Legislation In the State of Oklahoma, the committee looking into the bill has proposed a 10% allocation from the $14.7 billion funding it receives from the federal government, which could buy at least 15,000 Bitcoins. On the other hand, Massachusetts is said to be creating legislation targeting its Rainy Day fund, which already holds at least $8.8 billion. At the same time, Texas legislators are at an advanced stage with a proposal to allocate at least 1%of the state’s general revenue toward the developing Bitcoin Reserve Bills. Commenting, analyst CoinShares recently said in a blog post: “We believe that enacting the Bitcoin Act in the United States would have a more profound long-term impact on Bitcoin than the launch of ETFs.” Conclusion According to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET, at least 150 companies have Bitcoin treasuries, as they believe the digital asset could be a good hedge against inflation. In addition to the 20 US States, the federal government under Donald Trump is already exploring the potential for Bitcoin Reserve Bills, which industry experts believe could end up serving as a vehicle for the US government to buy BTC. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) What’s with Bitcoin Reserve Bills Frenzy? Legislation would allow states to diversify their portfolios and legally invest in BTC, eventually making Bitcoin a legitimate part of the global financial market. What are the advantages of legislation? The states would benefit from diversification since their eggs would be spread over multiple baskets instead of only one basket, as they are currently. Are there any disadvantages? Cryptocurrencies are still nascent and subject to price swings, making them a gamble because of volatility. What’s in store for Bitcoin and State finance? It’s difficult to draw a line right now, but enticing times lie ahead as states mull legislating the potential for investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

World, the proof-of-personhood protocol that seeks to validate the humanity of its participants using biometric data, is facing difficulties derived from its business model in Brazil. The project lost an appeal directed to the National Data Protection Agency (ANDP), asking for a delay of 45 days to adapt to an earlier decision to stop the cryptocurrency rewards given to users enrolling in the project. In a press release, the board of the ANDP disclose that this order could be “carried out by other means, including postponing appointments, until the adjustment to the app is made.” The decision comes after a preventive measure of the ANDP, asking the company to stop these crypto exchanges, was ignored, as the company continued to act supported by this now-denied appeal. The agency alleges that offering these crypto rewards for citizens enrolling into the World platform might interfere with the exercise of free will for the delivery of this data, more so when there is a vulnerability condition from the citizens involved in these transactions. The ANPD stressed that this consideration reinforces its “commitment to defending fundamental privacy rights and protecting personal data, ensuring that these prerogatives are respected in personal data processing activities in the country.” Tools For Humanity (TFH), the organization behind World, acknowledged this decision, declaring that it would stop its operations until further notice. TFH answered: World respects the ANPD’s decision. As the ANPD is aware, it will take time to comply with its order. To allow World to complete the changes in coordination with the ANPD and ensure compliance during this process, we are voluntarily and temporarily pausing the verification service. The company will have to present a document certifying that these operations have been indeed paused in 10 days.

Author: Weilin, PANews On February 13, the U.S. Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) officially launched its website to disclose details and evidence of government cost reductions, marking the latest progress of the department in cutting costs for the U.S. government. As of the afternoon of February 13, according to data from doge-tracker (compiled from DOGE's Twitter), Musk's Government Efficiency Department has saved American taxpayers $37.89 billion, which accounts for only 1.9% of Musk's goal to reduce U.S. government spending by $2 trillion. On February 9, Coinbase CEO called for increased transparency in government spending through blockchain technology. "Great progress, DOGE," Brian Armstrong wrote in a post on the X platform on February 9. "Imagine if every government expenditure could be transparently recorded on the chain; it would make auditing much easier." On February 10, Cathie Wood, founder of asset management firm Ark Invest, also supported Musk's idea of putting all U.S. government spending on the blockchain, commenting, "Transparent, efficient, secure: win-win-win." According to a report by Bloomberg in late January, DOGE is considering using blockchain technology to reduce government costs, with informed sources revealing that internal discussions are underway. If DOGE launches the plan, it could be large-scale and potentially adopted across multiple government departments. Bloomberg cited sources stating that during the discussions, there were mentions of using blockchain to track federal spending, protect data, make payments, and even manage buildings. One insider indicated that individuals associated with DOGE have met with representatives from several public blockchain networks to assess the technology. A person who visited Palm Beach, Florida, last December proposed several blockchain applications to officials from the Trump transition team, focusing on the technology's potential in protecting critical government data and tracking the flow of funds. On February 3, Musk shared his views on putting U.S. Treasury transactions on the blockchain. In a post on the X platform, Musk emphatically responded, "Yes!" The U.S. Government Efficiency Department was officially created by an executive order signed by President Trump on January 20, tasked with modernizing federal technology and software to maximize government efficiency and productivity. Trump stated that the department would work with the Office of Management and Budget to identify spending cuts and provide recommendations by July 4, 2026. Its leader is entrepreneur Musk, who was originally set to co-lead with Vivek Ramaswamy, but Vivek withdrew for personal reasons before the official appointment. DOGE has an office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and employs about 20 staff members. An insider revealed that Musk recruited around 100 volunteers to code for his project before Trump's inauguration. Musk is pushing for the use of blockchain technology to force government transparency, but he is not the first to propose this idea. In April 2024, former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expressed his desire to put the entire federal budget on the blockchain. At a rally in Michigan, the politician told the audience, "Every American can see every item in the entire budget at any time, 24/7. We will have 300 million eyes on our budget. If someone spends $16,000 on a toilet seat, everyone will know." Kennedy's proposal has received widespread support from advocates of small government and sound money, who believe that U.S. government spending has gone out of control. Jean Rausis, co-founder of the decentralized finance platform Smardex, stated that Musk's proposal to move the U.S. Treasury to the blockchain could make the U.S. "the de facto global leader in blockchain innovation." "While it's hard to say which blockchain could handle this task, it's important that it must be permissionless. Otherwise, the promised transparency would just be talk. However, if the U.S. Treasury adopts decentralized infrastructure, it could become a catalyst for the convergence of the Web2 and Web3 worlds." Following Bloomberg's report, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson immediately stated on X, "I think this task should be a collaboration between Cardano, Bitcoin, and Midnight. Hey, DOGE master Musk, reach out to us, we’ll help for free." On January 26, Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi predicted that the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) might launch an AVAX sub-chain in 2025 for reporting public spending, with all expenditures traceable on-chain via stablecoins. Government agencies and contractors' wallets would be publicly disclosed and analyzed by public data detectives daily. Currently, there are use cases on Avalanche; on July 30 last year, the California Department of Motor Vehicles digitized 42 million vehicle titles on the Avalanche blockchain to detect fraud and streamline the ownership transfer process. Additionally, Ava Labs (the company behind the Avalanche blockchain) has collaborated with Deloitte and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to launch a new disaster relief platform to help the U.S. government streamline disaster compensation applications submitted to FEMA. The idea of applying blockchain to large-scale projects is not new, although applying it to large entities like the U.S. government remains an unproven concept. As early as 2022, the General Services Administration (GSA) was studying the introduction of ledger systems (like blockchain) into the daily operations of the federal government under its IT program. The agency hosted the U.S. Federal Blockchain Forum in 2017 and is exploring the use of smart contracts in patents, trademarks, IT applications, and foreign aid delivery. According to public reports from 2022, the Delaware Blockchain Initiative has also explored blockchain technology in public records organization and private sector data security. In addition to the aforementioned Cardano and Avalanche, on January 28, the price of MOVE tokens from Movement Labs surged significantly amid rumors that the company is consulting for Musk's DOGE. Reports indicate that this modular network has reached out to the organization, although the news has not been confirmed. Shortly after, Movement Labs founder Rushi Manche responded on X to the news of World Liberty Financial's large purchase of MOVE, stating, "Strategic Move reserve. We are proud to be the first altcoin, the first modern blockchain platform, and the first alternative virtual machine under the new government leadership. MOVE is made in America." Furthermore, the Trump family project World Liberty Financial recently announced a partnership with Ondo Finance, which launched the institutional Layer 1 blockchain Ondo Chain, although this collaboration mainly focuses on the RWA track. As of the afternoon of February 13, based on World Liberty Financial's holdings on Arkham Intelligence, the project holds not only ONDO and MOVE but also a significant amount of ETH, with Ethereum serving as the deployment network for the presidential family project, potentially giving it a first-mover advantage in government collaboration. What challenges will the U.S. government face in further utilizing blockchain technology? Chainlink community contributor Zach Rynes stated on X, "It is highly unlikely that the U.S. government will use a single blockchain to cover all departments and agencies. Do you think the ledger requirements of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) are exactly the same as those of the DoD (Department of Defense) and DHS (Department of Homeland Security)? Probably not." He indicated that the U.S. government will ultimately use multiple private and public ledgers for various purposes, such as increasing spending transparency or automating manual processes. What is certain is that: As Musk pushes for the U.S. Treasury to put transactions on-chain, blockchain technology may be moving toward a whole new application domain. The support from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood adds more attention to this topic. In the future, which blockchain platform will stand out as a pillar of government digital transformation may have a profound impact on the entire cryptocurrency industry.
