ChainCatcher news, CryptoQuant analysts indicate that the liquidation of long positions may have established a local bottom. Although price sentiment remains bearish and technical indicators suggest the possibility of further declines, the liquidation levels of long positions in the Bitcoin futures market indicate that selling pressure has eased.

Typically, these moments of high losses and liquidations form local bottoms, opening up space for short-term recoveries. Currently, prices may maintain the current range in the short term, but attention needs to be paid to the buying strength to reverse the downward trend.

ChainCatcher news, IOBC Capital partner Alva Xu shared his insights on Token2049 on the X platform, noting several changes in the Crypto primary market from the perspective of an active Crypto LP:Some large funds from Europe and the United States are accelerating their fundraising efforts, and their commitment and focus indicate their determination to compete fiercely with Asian LPs. The conversation afterward was not exciting; AUM is the enemy of venture capital funds.European and American funds are squeezing the survival space of Asian funds, and LPs are becoming as valuable as quality developers, so IR will become increasingly important in the future.In today's market shift, some GPs are showcasing various strategies, such as buying OTC shares, pushing into the secondary market, and incubating projects. The core purpose is to prove they can outperform Bitcoin returns, and isn't the essence of venture capital to support great companies early on? Therefore, these flashy strategies might be less effective than returning to the original mission, which can resonate more with investors.In light of the current situation, this LP offered three suggestions for fund fundraising:Do not emphasize financial returns and DPI, as LPs can directly buy ETFs or hold BTC.Position yourself as an explorer in the industry; a strong desire for exploration and having your own worldview can better impress LPs, after all, investing in a company represents the kind of world you want to build.Conduct due diligence on each LP's strategic planning; understanding LPs' strategic investment layout is very important.

ChainCatcher news, Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire spoke at the "The Next 3 Years in Crypto" roundtable discussion on the first day of the TOKEN2049 main event, stating:In the vision 1.0 version of Circle, this is essentially a world where the marginal cost of storing and transferring value is zero. In this world, the experience of users transacting on these mediums will be as simple and seamless as the user experience we have with major software tools on the internet. We are not fully there yet, but we are very close. However, I believe that in the coming year, we will make progress on relevant practical tools.I feel that as we approach that point (the vision 1.0 version), the velocity of money circulation and the actual economy in the world will significantly increase, and if we have such a high velocity of money circulation, the ability for people to gain economic benefits from it will be substantial.I believe we are still in the early stages; despite the tremendous progress made in decentralized finance (DeFi), we are just beginning to explore this field. I liken the current situation to when the iPhone was released, when there were many creative ideas about mobile devices.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, so far, crypto-native companies like Coinbase Global Inc. and BitGo Inc. have been the dominant service providers, while traditional financial firms mostly remain in a holding pattern due to concerns over regulatory uncertainty surrounding digital assets.Although the current custody market is only about $300 million, the business remains attractive, with companies like Fireblocks Inc. estimating an annual growth rate of around 30% for the industry.Leading custody banks such as BNY Mellon, State Street Corp., and Citigroup Inc. have begun to dip their toes into the cryptocurrency custody space or have expressed interest. Despite facing setbacks, these companies are experimenting, with many plans focused on the protection of tokenized assets.For example, JPMorgan Chase & Co. operates a project called Onyx, which allows blockchain payments between bank clients. In December last year, a custody trust and clearing company acquired Securrency to provide products for tokenizing traditional financial assets. In August of this year, State Street chose the vendor Taurus for the tokenization and custody of digital asset services.One major issue hindering the entry of established financial institutions is a U.S. SEC regulation known as SAB 121, which prevents highly regulated financial companies from offering cryptocurrency custody services. President Biden vetoed efforts by Congress to overturn the rule. Several banks have received exemptions.
