The Daily Spin. The Eventful Thursday Edition. The release of OpenAI’s GPT-4. An order of magnitude improved from GPT-3 in such a short amount of time that it warrants attention – likely more attention than the cascading TradFi contagion going into Europe’s Banking sector and global petrochemical industries. But that’s just my personal opinion.
Of course, any newsletter today would not be complete without the SVB collapse contagion and updates. Delphi Digital is providing live coverage of developments via their Twitter account, and TrustlessMedia.lens (aka Me) showed the impact it is having on the energy sector, the FTSE, the DJIA and S&P500 all showing a widely general loss in investor confidence. PPI print was lower than expected, and Bitcoin continues to re-test the $25k resistance.
Uniswap has hit 2x their previous ATH in transaction volume at $17B, as the TradFi crisis rages on in the background. USDC records its largest single burn amidst the banking collapse. The Australian Open launches a successful fan-series NFT open edition using in-game data from its Hawk-eye slow-motion capture system. OpenSea moves to protect buyers from making unintentional purchases. Timeswap and Filecoin both go live on their respective mainnets. In the gaming space, Epic and WeMade both gave announcements on new partnerships.
Credit Suisse is in dire straits after being denied additional capital from its largest backer in Saudi Arabia. Europe’s banking stocks suffer the biggest drop in a year. Today’s TL section is filled with informational content, covering topics such as Ethereum 101, L1s L2s L0s and Zk-Sync scaling, micro SaaS, and finally, a cross-chain UBI use case with Kima & GoodDollar… here is our round-up of curated news and opinions (surely biased) from the world of Blockchain, keeping you informed into the market news with the most trending, in-the-know, and controversial topics. In the name of transparent, dissemination of information to keep you curious, inspired, and clinically sane…
