“The amount of progress, measured with actual value being created, that we're seeing in #DeFi signals that lessons from the ICO era were really taken to heart in the #ethereum community.” ~@CamiRusso, founder of The Defiant Click To Tweet “The world needs an Internet of value. We can share any type of content, but the same hasn't happened with value… #bitcoin was the first step. I think #ethereum can take it further with programmable money.” ~@CamiRusso of The Defiant Click To Tweet “We're tweeting, watching YouTube videos & doing all this stuff online, but we still need to go to an executive to open a savings account. #DeFi is so much more aligned with our digital world.” ~@CamiRusso, founder of The Defiant Click To Tweet

🚀 Updates From Nomics

  • #1 Nomics data reveals surprising truths about exchange tokens: In a report entitled Exchange Tokens: Neither a Great Investment Nor a Great Market Indicator, CoinDesk cites data from Nomics to show that exchange tokens like Binance Coin (BNB), Huobi Token (HT), UNUS SED LEO (LEO) and OKEx Utility Token (OKB) have not only underperformed as investments but fail to indicate much about their parent exchanges. They’re also a weak signal of speculative demand. They tell us no more than the price of Bitcoin (BTC), with which 3 of the 4 have become increasingly correlated.

🚀 Updates From Nomics

  • Nomics Update #1: The Market tabs for each exchange on Nomics.com now includes an “Unmapped” section that lists markets for which we have data but haven’t yet mapped. A market can go unmapped for several reasons. The market ID (used by the exchange) could be difficult to parse or there may be an issue with the symbol used for the base or quote currency. For a look at the new section, check out the OKEx Markets tab.
