BGB Sail: October Edition

Bitget Academy is delighted to announce the release of our new BGB Sail Series, which reflects on BGB performance each month alongside the market summary. BGB Sail: September Edition can be found here. Market Summary Bitcoin realised volatility, for the first time in two years, reached the lowest of 40%. Higher volatility and high risk always go hand in hand; we can see that, apparently, 2022 so far turned out to be much less volatile than last year. Bitcoin’s 20-day volatility also matched that of NASDAQ and was only a tad higher than that of the SP500 in October, also for the first time since 2020. Source: Glassnode Studio Source: Kaiko Analytics In addition, Bitcoin’s correlation with gold is increasing unstoppably, now nearly at 0.60. Maybe time for the ‘digital gold’ narrative again? Source: Bloomberg Be it true or not, the number of and value of BTCUSDT">Bitcoin perpetual contracts increased massively in October. Within the first four days of October, Bitcoin's open interest across exchanges has risen by at least 60,000 Bitcoin. Source: Arcane Research But other cryptocurrencies were hurting in the bear market. Crypto blue chip yields have been sliding since the dismay of May and seeing year’s lows in September and October. That’s definitely not good news for the industry. Source: Delphi Digital It’s not just that. Blockchain projects saw a dropping in capital injections for the second consecutive quarter, falling to the second lowest quarter of funding since 2021 at US$6,217,000,000. Source: The Block One contributor to the dread may very well be the hacks and attacks, which further smeared the industry name. The biggest exploits in October include the notorious US$586 million hack on BNB Chain, the US$2 million hack of QANplatform’s offline bridge, the US$2.3 million TempleDAO hack, the US$100 million hack of Mango Markets on Solana, the US$8.4 million hack of Moola Market, the 30,437 OHM hack and the exploit of Ethereum Alarm Clock's smart contract for 204 ETH. Analysis by Solidus Labs also shows that BNB Chain is home to the most scam projects, with 12.02% of the token contracts being a sham. Source: Solidus Labs Most important of the month is Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, his plan to incentivise content-creating activities on the platform, and NFT-ise Twitter with the NFT Tweet Tiles pilot. BGB Performance in October BGB recorded a new all-time high of US$0.2176 on October 20, 2022, after September’s high of US$0.200031. Our newly established support levels are between US$0.17 and US$0.18, a huge move since the LUNA case. Source: CoinMarketCap BGB has been holding itself well amid the bears’ suffering. Period. Analysis of previous months is available here: BGB Sail: September Edition BGB Sail: August Edition BGB Sail: July Edition BGB Sail: June Edition BGB Sail: May Edition For different risk appetites With the launch of Bitget’s new DeFi product series, BGB becomes strictly a necessity. The more BGB you own, the more you can earn. If you are a risk-averse user, why not try BGB Earn? Mind you, interest rates may be on the rise, but a strong US-Dollar is hurting all other fiat currencies. For example, the Euro (EUR) has lost ca. 15.9% from January to September, the British pound (GBP) 21.8%, the Japanese Yen (JPY) 26%, etc. Even the Swiss Franc (CHF) has been weakened by roughly 7.6%, whereas the BGB net value increased by 20%! Given that BGB Earn offers a 6% APR, the only question is just how many times your asset value could grow if you are a BGB holder? An alternative is putting your BGB to work via Bitget Launchpool. An estimated 107,500 USDT in staking rewards has been distributed to participants of 9 pools. BGB is a default choice for staking tokens, which is to create lucrative opportunities for BGB holders. A lower APY for staking BGB is, however, justified, given that BGB value skyrocketed, as shown in the chart above. Bitget-Verse It’s KCGI time!

Bitget Hot Takes (October 17 - October 23)

Bitget Hot Takes is the exclusive weekly newsletter series by Bitget Academy, the 360-degree onboarding guide for all crypto enthusiasts. Bitget Hot Takes last week can be found here. Central Themes • BGB is up by nearly 20%, reaching the new ATH of US$0.23900. • Several countries are becoming more crypto-friendly. • BTC volatility is about to hit the all-time low. • Fidelity offers ETH to institutions. • After Aptos (APT), zkSync will be the next L1 token to be highly anticipated. BGB Recorded The New All-Time High This was an incredible week for BGB. Token price reached the new all-time high of US$0.23900 on Friday (October 21), keeping BGB hovering around US$0.20 ever since. That also led to BGB’s superiority in terms of weekly performance, especially in the category of exchange tokens. In terms of volume, BGB and FTT were the only two exchange tokens to see an increase in the last seven days. The numbers are 13.78% for FTT and a whopping 53.70% for BGB. At a current e2bfcae8-b458-4710-9cfc-35b6fd588501 capitalisation of less than US$500 million, BGB still has much room to grow. And it’s been riding the market’s waves since the beginning of 2022: BGB Sail: August Edition BGB Sail: July Edition BGB Sail: June Edition BGB Sail: May Edition Around The Crypto-verse More countries are seeing crypto as an opportunity rather than a threat. The Israeli government, in partnership with Fireblocks and VMWare, is about to issue blockchain-powered state bonds. The process should reduce costs and speed up the issuance as well as clearing. Japan is another country to stay crypto-friendly as the Japan Virtual and Crypto assets Exchange Association (JVCEA) plans to implement a shorter listing process for tokens (within 30 days) by March 2024. Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is also considering making virtual assets available for retail investors despite regulatory clarity. And in the U.K., the resignation of PM Liz Truss has made way for pro-crypto Rishi Sunak to run for leadership. Changes in equities and forex markets have been rough. Surprisingly (or maybe not), cryptocurrencies have been able to hold themselves quite well: Bitcoin is still trading around US$19,000 - US$20,000 and global market capitalisation remains above US$900 billion. And Bitcoin’s volatility will soon hit the all-time low, as per Twitter KOL @i_am_jackis, whereas its 20D volatility is equivalent to that of NASDAQ for the first time since 2020. SP500’s volatility is also converging Bitcoin’s. Bitcoin volatility Source: Twitter @i_am_jackis and TradingView Source: Kaiko Analytics In general, trading Bitcoin futures, i.e. aping on price changes of the largest cryptocurrency, tends to outpace spot when it comes to volume because of high liquidity and no ownership/wallet knowledge requirement needed. Cash-margined futures has been replacing the previously popular crypto-margined futures since last year as it represents a less risky collateral structure. Last week, cash-margined OI Dominance reached the all-time high of 65%, meaning that two-thirds of the open positions are backed by cash. Source: Glassnode Bitget offers two options for cash-margined futures, including Bitget USDT-Ⓜ Futures and Bitget USDC-Ⓜ Futures, while supporting three major cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, and EOS) in Bitget Coin-Ⓜ Futures. Bitcoin mining sees more troubles as the European Union slides further into the energy crisis and mining difficulty once again made a new all-time high. Riot Blockchains, Inc., Coinbase, and ProShared Long Bitcoin Strategy funds are the three losers of the week. Talking about major cryptocurrencies, Ethereum's popularity has been driven by institutional investors after The Merge. Grayscale Ethereum Trust shows inconsistent returns, but that doesn’t stop Fidelity from offering Ethereum services to their institutional customers starting from October 28. That can’t be more perfectly timed: Ethereum staking rewards have climbed to 11% APR. Source: Lido Finance Aptos: Listing of the week The hottest name of the week must be Aptos. It’s the much-hyped, venture-backed Layer 1 built by former Meta employees. Its mainnet goes live on October 17, 2022, one day before its official listing on cryptocurrency exchange. What seems odd here is that the tokenomics summary was released only shortly prior to trading, and APT perpetual trading is available within less than 48 hours after spot trading. However, APT managed to reach US$10.25 and is still trading above US$9.00 at the time of writing. Trade APT Spot: Click here Trade APT Perps: Click here The next listing to watch for is that of zkSync with its mainnet launch in October and token detail release in early November. The community of DeFi giant Uniswap has reached a consensus to allow the deploying of Uniswap V3 on this blockchain. zkSync is expected to solve Ethereum’s scalability issues using zero-knowledge proof. Metaverse news In a sense, Metaverse has successfully infiltrated our normal life, with more and more companies embracing this opportunity:• Hollywood premier agency WME has signed a representation deal with Mack Flavelle, co-founder of Dapper Labs and CryptoKitties; • The Major League Baseball (MLB) is hiring an NFT and metaverse licensing manager; • Warner Bros released 10,999 NFTs for Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring on October 21 at 9:00 AM (PST);• Ozzy Osbourne, DJ Dillon Francis, and Soulja Boy are the next to join Decentraland’s 2nd Metaverse Music Festival. And in South Carolina, U.S.A, a 3-BR house was sold as NFT for 175,000 USDC six days ago, marking the first NFT house sales ever. Exploits cont’d The victim of this week is the Celo-based DeFi lending protocol Moola Market, which suffered from an US$8.4 million attack on October 18. The team quickly offered a bounty reward for the hacker and received a positive signal as 93.1% of the stolen funds (US$7.8 million) were returned to the protocol’s wallet. Three days after the Moo-case, 30,437 OHM tokens were drained from one Olympus DAO’s smart contract on Ethereum and also returned within a few hours. Even the Ethereum Alarm Clock's smart contract was targeted by exploiters, which allowed them to receive 204 ETH in gas fee reimbursements. In For US$210 Million A total of US$144 million has been invested in blockchain projects in the last seven days with the following break-down: • US$4 million in Tapio, a synthetic asset protocol on Polkadot • US$18.8 million in blockchain dev tool provider ChainSafe • US$7 million in Web3 Builders • US$18 million in WazirX founder’s blockchain project Shardeum • US$30 million in crypto gaming infrastructure platform Stardust • US$3.2 million in Arcade2Earn, a gaming platform on Solana • US$55 million in modular blockchain infrastructure builder Celestia Labs • US$7.5 million in Mercury, a project focusing on college fan clubs Another US$66 million has been funded for crypto hedge fund Edge Capital’s two DeFi funds.
