3. He Yi: Even if Binance does not list new projects, funds will be diverted due to activities such as meme coins and on-chain idiots

Aiming at Binance Recently, the frequency of currency listing has been too fast, and large-market value VC projects have been sent to the market in batches, resulting in the problem that market liquidity cannot bear it. He Yi, co-founder of Binance, responded that the currency circle is a free market, and the liquidity of each trading platform and Volume sharing. Even if Binance does not list new projects, these projects will still exist and funds will be distributed to the entire industry.

In addition to the unlocking of VC-invested projects, Meme coin, on-chain local dogs, Lumao, and fund disks will all be diverted. After the ETF is approved, the traditional financial market will also divert funds that flow directly to the currency circle.

She pointed out that some VCs did lead to inflated prices, but VCs generally have a 7-year lock-in period, and the unlocking period is usually one year after TGE, so many VCs are also going bankrupt. Project parties that have received large amounts of financing have more opportunities to survive the bubble cycle, but the currency price and governance model are determined by the project party and require in-depth analysis.

He Yi also mentioned that the rise of Defi has increased market liquidity and freedom, making it more difficult for CEX to formulate rules. This is the charm of the free market in the currency circle. She reminds everyone to do your own research (DYOR).

This cooperation not only involves five major Korean won market exchanges, but also includes about 20 currency market exchanges. It is the first case of comprehensive cooperation between virtual asset exchanges to establish a self-regulatory mechanism. The country’s Financial Supervisory Authority also actively participated, providing advisory support and requiring exchanges to strengthen the review and supervision of listed assets.

“本周（6.17-6.23）有哪些值得阅读的精彩文章”

1、《对话 LongHash Ventures CEO Emma ：为什么这轮牛市只有微创新？》

2016 年一次偶然的机会下， LongHash Ventures CEO Emma Cui 在新加坡管理大学参与了 Vitalik 的见面会，自此她决定从传统金融进入加密金融。

2017 年底，在拿到 Hashkey 和分布式资本的早期资金支持后， Emma Cui 与麦肯锡的前同事 Shi Khai 正式创办了 LongHash Ventures 。

在早期资金并不充裕的情况下， Longhash Ventures 很快又面临着熊市下的筹资难。“当时我们试图建立第一只基金，被拒绝了无数次。”直到 DeFi Summer 的到来， Longhash Ventures 才从危机中挺过来，开启了上升期。

目前 Longhash Ventures 管理着数亿美元，两期基金的内部收益率（IRR）都达到了40%-70% ，并投资Polkadot、Astar、io.net 、Manta、Safe、Avail、Puffer Finance等上百个 Web3 项目。

Emma Cui 认为，这轮牛市仍处于早期阶段。除了 BTC 现货 ETF 的预期带来的市场效应外， 要启动真正的牛市，还需要更多的催化剂。

2、《以太坊赢得 SEC 调查阶段性胜利，美国监管风向或改变》

继以太坊ETF获批后，以太坊再次赢得了公众视野里阶段性的胜利。

6月19日，以太坊基础设施开发公司Consensys在社交媒体发文称：“我们很高兴地宣布以太坊开发者、技术提供商和行业参与者取得了一项重大胜利：美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的执法部门通知我们，它正在结束对Ethereum 2.0的调查。这意味着SEC不会提出指控称ETH的销售是证券交易。”

这场为期14个月的调查终于告一段落，赢得了一个满意的进展。

3、《分析师：是什么导致山寨币在本轮周期表现不佳？》

在加密货币领域，山寨币的过度分散化问题逐渐凸显，成为本轮周期内其表现疲软的核心因素。经过深入研究，我发现这种分散化对加密货币市场的整体健康造成了严重威胁。然而，令人遗憾的是，目前看来，我们尚未找到明确的解决方案来应对这一挑战。

我写这篇帖子的目的，是希望能让更多人深入了解这一影响加密货币未来发展的关键问题。它将解释我们如何走到这一步，为什么价格会表现得如此，以及未来的道路。

4、《领空投还要捐款？或许我们真的错怪 LayerZero 了》

从 LayerZero 5 月份初宣布进行了空投快照再到女巫清洗，在接近 2 个月时间里，LayerZero 始终在聚光灯下，面对着质疑、争议和纠纷。经历完这一切，社区以为终于可以安心领空投了，没想到 LayerZero 又整出了「捐赠证明」的新 Claim 机制，想要领取 ZRO，用户必须为每个 ZRO 捐赠 0.1 美元。

有人认为这是 LayerZero 对社区的再一次刁难，但真的如此吗？LayerZero 推出的捐赠证明机制，或许是对当前空投模式的良性改进。

5、《牛市远去？别慌，2024 下半场的这些剧情仍值得期待》

近两个月来，虽然 meme、头部项目 Airdrop 的热点事件不断，但市场一直处在一种颇为吊诡的低迷氛围之中——熊嚎似乎依稀可闻，牛的脚步又若即若离，行情崩坏与重启似乎都只在一瞬之间。

本文就旨在挖掘梳理一下过去两个月市场中隐藏的一些发酵事件，同时展望下接下来可能被忽略的积极因素，与大家展望一下半年可能挑起大梁的主线剧情。

6、《大道至简，Ton 将如何打开 Web3 长尾市场的大门？》

After more than ten years of development, the blockchain industry seems to have gained momentum and is at the crossroads of large-scale application. From the DeFi summer to the NFT craze, from the explosion of P2E games to the rise of Web3 social networking, and now the hotly-hyped concepts of "DePin" and "Web3+AI", there are countless ecosystems and projects in the industry, large and small, but they are spreading to the general public. In terms of public promotion, there is still no success.

Looking at it as a whole, putting aside some of the prejudices and other factors that exist in mainstream society, complex concepts such as smart contracts, addresses, and private key management in blockchain and encryption applications are not only innovations that are different from traditional ones, but also shackles that are difficult to remove. ——When strengthening users' perception of Web3 elements, it often leads to the contrast between high threshold, high cost and poor experience, which has also become the main reason restricting the widespread adoption of Web3.

However, technological innovation has never happened overnight from its emergence to completely changing the lives of ordinary people. What is certain is that any emerging technology is not fully mature when it first enters the market, and usually needs to go through a long-term iterative upgrade process. As the saying goes, never forget the past and learn from the future. By drawing on the experience and practices of related industries or fields, you can gain more ideas and creativity and bring enlightenment to the Web3 industry.

7. "SEC decided to end its investigation into Ethereum 2.0, will it benefit ETH spot ETFs?" 》

In the field of cryptocurrency, regulatory issues have always attracted much attention. Recently, the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) has once again become the focus of attention, this time targeting Ethereum 2.0. It is reported that the SEC has decided to end its investigation into Ethereum 2.0 and will not charge that the sale of Ethereum is a securities transaction. This news immediately triggered widespread attention and heated discussion in the cryptocurrency circle.

From the investigation in the past 14 months to now, Ethereum 2.0 has been the focus of supervision. However, a letter sent by Consensys on June 7 asking the SEC to confirm that the Ethereum spot ETF was approved on the premise that Ethereum is a commodity ultimately prompted the SEC to make the decision to end the investigation. This decision is not only a big win for Ethereum developers, technology providers, and industry participants, but also marks an important shift in the regulatory environment.

As news broke that the SEC announced the conclusion of its investigation, the market reacted quickly. On June 19, Ethereum-related projects, such as LDO, occupied the top of the increase list. On June 20, projects such as ENS, LDO, RPL, Pendle, CVX, MOG, and PEPE in the Ethereum ecosystem also rose, showing the market's positive attitude towards the news.

8. "Arthur Hayes' blog post: Bank of Japan sells off U.S. bonds to fuel new bull market in cryptocurrency"

Against the backdrop of global economic turmoil and financial market volatility, in this article, Hayes delves into the challenges faced by the Japanese banking system during the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike cycle, as well as the profound impact of U.S. fiscal and monetary policies on global markets. Through a detailed analysis of the foreign exchange hedging U.S. Treasury bond investment strategies of Norinchukin Bank and other Japanese commercial banks, the article reveals the reasons why these banks have to sell U.S. Treasury bonds when interest rate differences widen and foreign exchange hedging costs rise. Hayes further discussed the role of the FIMA repo facility and its impact on U.S.-Japan financial relations, and predicted the key role this facility will play in maintaining market stability. The article finally calls on investors to seize investment opportunities in the crypto market under the current situation.

9. "Pay to receive ZRO, this airdrop has a new Pay to Earn activity"

Good news, ZRO airdrop can be claimed.

Bad news, you need to pay to receive it.

There was some doubt in the market about the low number of Layerzero airdrops. Everyone said that they had worked hard to interact for a long time but the amount seemed not enough; the feeling of "insulting airdrops" emerged spontaneously.

And this insult seemed to come twice.

On the evening of June 20th, Layerzero officially announced that ZRO airdrops can be claimed, but this claim is not free:

Users must donate USD 0.10 USDC, USDT or native ETH for each ZRO. Claim ZRO tokens.

LayerZero, euphemistically calling it a new claiming mechanism called Proof-of-Donation, will donate up to $18.5 million to the Protocol Guild, the collective financing mechanism for Ethereum developers.

10. "Small cost investment, huge financing social protocol Farcaster interaction strategy"

With LayerZero issuing coins amidst a lot of criticism, the high-profile project airdrop wave has temporarily come to an end. Zksync’s rat barn and LayerZero’s witch hunt also chilled the hearts of players. Some old players bluntly said that the golden age of hair-raising has passed.

But as long as the market still exists, new projects will always bring a steady stream of opportunities.

The Four Kings are over, but there is a new troika - Monad, Bearchain and Farcaster.

All three have just disclosed huge financing this year, and there are many opportunities. Recently, rumors leaked out that Farcaster may issue coins, which greatly increases Farcaster’s interactive weight and makes it one of the must-have projects. Shenchao Tech Flow, an interactive tutorial on Monad and Bearchain, has been released before. Today, the editor will take you to interact with Farcaster, a potential stock in the social sector that just announced a huge financing last month.
