The Trump Effect - How Rising Approval Ratings Fuel Bitcoin's Surge If the U.S. regulatory environment becomes more crypto-friendly, discussions currently underway in South Korea—such as Bitcoin ETF issuance, corporate account creation, and investment permissions—may gain momentum. Beyond regulation, Trump’s pro-crypto stance and his promise to dismantle Operation Choke Point could spur new capital inflows into the industry, fostering an environment conducive to fresh initiatives and projects. U.S.-based crypto entrepreneurs who left may even return, potentially leading to new crypto ventures. With South Korea’s active altcoin market, these developments could invigorate the domestic scene, especially as new projects emerge. https://xangle.io/en/research/detail/2126

As we look ahead to Q4, key developments in the gaming sector and major announcements from the Avalanche Summit are anticipated. These events are expected to significantly shape Avalanche’s trajectory, and a deeper analysis of the network's Q4 performance will be covered in Xangle's 4Q24 Review. https://xangle.io/en/research/detail/2121

The Tokenomics Chronicle Probably the only working value of Web3 has been the value of of tokens as an investment vehicle making tokens themselves as also - a product. On top of that, projects raise funds based on their tokens and unless long-term sustainability is assured in the token prices - users won’t remain within the ecosystem and so are projects backed with token-based treasuries. The relationship between product and tokenomics is like the chicken-and-egg dilemma—one cannot come first and one will inevitably introduce the other some day or another. If you haven’t launched a token with a working web3 product - you will have to someday, and vice versa. Here the harmony becomes the key challenge. https://xangle.io/en/research/detail/2115

Babylon's Bitcoin Staking Revolution: Overcoming Bitcoin's Limitations Babylon’s Bitcoin staking protocol has reached a significant milestone in its quest to overcome Bitcoin’s inherent limitations and expand its utility. Historically, Bitcoin’s scripting language and PoW structure posed challenges to implementing complex smart contracts and diverse utilities. However, Babylon has tackled these issues by leveraging the Taproot upgrade and advanced cryptographic techniques. This has not only made Bitcoin staking feasible but also opened new avenues for enhancing the security of PoS chains and the rollup ecosystem. These innovations have transformed Bitcoin from a mere store of value into a key component of a more complex economic structure, where it plays a crucial role in strengthening the security of PoS chains and providing new revenue opportunities for Bitcoin holders. https://xangle.io/en/research/detail/2106
