ChainCatcher news, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report analyzes the reasons why tokenization has not become more widespread. It points out that although tokenization brings efficiency improvements, securities settlement enhancements, and innovation opportunities, it faces numerous challenges.The report mentions that the lack of a sufficient investor base is a major obstacle, leading to insufficient liquidity, which makes issuers cautious about tokenization. The issuance of sovereign bonds can help promote the development of tokenization, as seen in the case of Slovenia.At the same time, the OECD emphasizes that quasi-sovereign issuers, such as the World Bank and the European Investment Bank, are more active, but liquidity issues are often resolved through integration with traditional systems, which also undermines the potential advantages of tokenization.Another challenge is the "chicken or egg" problem of network effects; when network effects have not yet manifested, it is difficult to prove the value of investments. Additionally, many institutions face technical debt and lack the funds to upgrade to distributed ledger technology (DLT).

ChainCatcher news, Matrixport officially stated on social media that the decline in Ethereum gas fees reflects the continued low activity in its ecosystem since the upgrade in March 2024. Coupled with persistently low trading volumes, achieving a significant increase in ETH prices in 2025 may face considerable resistance.Matrixport further added that in 2024, Ethereum faced strong competition from alternative protocols like Solana and Sui, which successfully attracted more users, leading to their tokens outperforming Ethereum throughout the year. Without significant positive news to stimulate it, Ethereum may continue to be at a disadvantage in 2025, while competing projects are expected to further expand their advantages.

ChainCatcher news, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen was invited to attend a Bloomberg TV interview. In the interview, Gracy mentioned that Bitcoin is fluctuating around the $100,000 mark, reflecting a strong "arbitrage" sentiment in the short-term market. She pointed out that especially some whale users who started accumulating positions in 2022 have an average holding cost of only about $20,000. Although future cryptocurrency regulations in the U.S. may become more lenient, the related uncertainties remain an important consideration for investors, and some investors choose to cash out at the current price level.At the same time, Bitcoin's recent performance has provided more opportunities for altcoins. However, regarding the rumors circulating in the market that "ETFs for altcoins like DOGE and SOL may soon be approved," she believes there are still multiple challenges: first, the issue of approval order. Based on the experience of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs being approved, the mainstream market usually first approves futures ETFs, followed by spot ETFs for related assets, and none of these altcoins' futures ETFs have been approved yet; second, regulatory discrepancies, as some regulatory agencies still dispute whether tokens like SOL are considered securities, which may affect the related approval process; third, the risk of market manipulation, as most altcoins are not as decentralized as BTC and ETH, making the possibility of market manipulation relatively higher.

ChainCatcher on-site report****,**** io.net Asia-Pacific Regional Head Asa, Multiple Network APEC Director Frank, Olares Partner Cryptobird, Network3 Marketing Head Eliza, and Open Data Labs CEO and Vana Co-founder Anna Kazlauskas jointly attended "DeInsight 2024" and engaged in an in-depth discussion on the development challenges, incentive models, and future trends of decentralized AI & Depin in a roundtable titled "New Forces in Decentralized AI & Depin."Asa stated that the biggest challenge faced by io.net in its early days was balancing decentralization with reliability. When its network allows anyone, any hardware, and any account to enter, ensuring there are no fake accounts and maintaining network performance is no easy task.Anna Kazlauskas mentioned the challenge of oversupply on the supply side. When a value network built on a large amount of computing power, data, and other resources cannot ensure alignment with the demand side, the actual assets behind it may hold no value.Regarding the industry issue of oversupply on the supply side, Frank mentioned that Multiple Network suggests distinguishing whether devices in decentralized AI projects are in standby or working status and using targeted token incentives to reduce unnecessary consumption on the supply side and lower token output.The guests generally believe that the decentralized AI & Depin industry is in its early stages and has not yet found widely accepted and recognized application scenarios. Eliza shared a marketing perspective, noting that decentralized AI & Depin often face competitors in the traditional IoT and consumer markets. Providing users with more practical scenarios that allow them to use and benefit directly is a key issue for the next stage.Additionally, the guests commonly mentioned the challenges faced by decentralized AI & Depin projects in protecting user privacy data.Remote participation👉Video live link: https://www.youtube.com/live/tTVcUPumPysImage live link: https://www.pailixiang.com/album_ia7637038926.html(Source link)
