🔔 Sygnum Bank’s Q2 2024 quarterly update on how the crypto use cases are evolving 🚀 The Layer 1 sector has been dominating the headlines, with significant developments around the major tokens: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. However, the Web3 sector has been the best performing decentralised application sector, with strong narratives and user growth supporting AI-linked projects and the DePIN niche, while there are signs of revival in the gaming sector. Certain segments of DeFi are also poised for growth, such as the emerging restaking and liquid restaking niches, as well as protocols linked to real-world asset tokenisation and the potential rise of a Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. Tokenised investment products, such as the BlackRock-launched tokenised money market fund BUIDL or Ethereum’s tokenised yield arbitrage strategy USDe, have been well received by the market and quickly gathered substantial assets under management.

This week at Token2049, Ethereum & Polkadot co-founder, Gavin Wood announced the development plans for a new protocol - JAM (Joint-Accumulate Machine). Building on top of core Ethereum & Polkadot infrastructure, the JAM chain will offer smart contract functionality via a hybrid decentralized system. “JAM is permissionless in nature, allowing anyone to deploy code as a service on it for a fee commensurate with the resources this code utilizes and to induce execution of this code through the procurement and allocation of core-time, a metric of resilient and ubiquitous computation, somewhat similar to the purchasing of gas in Ethereum. We already envision a Polkadot-compatible CoreChains service.” Check out the Gray Paper here: https://graypaper.com/

Robinhood’s $200 million all-cash deal to buy Luxembourg-based cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp underscores the trading platform’s ambition to push further into crypto, with the dual objective of attracting more institutional clients and trading a wider number of tokens in more markets globally. But the acquisition’s overall significance and eventual impact could be far larger than what appears at first blush. After the deal closes, expected in the first half of 2025, it could mark the start of a chapter that catapults Robinhood into crypto’s big leagues—competing against Binance, Coinbase, OKX and others—and finally enables it to get out from underneath the at-times egregious operational missteps that have plagued the trading platform before and since going public in July 2021, even with a Wells notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission currently hanging over its head. Plus, more from Holly Sraeel on the Synapse bankruptcy proceedings and its former CEO's new venture (with fabricated fundraising claims), the Affirm-Apple Pay buy now, pay later deal coming later this year, and Revolut’s UK banking ambitions.
