#ChartoftheDay #Bitcoin's price increased 69% QoQ in Q1 2024, demonstrating the great success of spot BTC ETFs. According to Messari, spot BTC ETFs saw over $12 billion in inflows, or 212,000 BTC, in Q1, bringing the total AUM to 831,488 BTC. #GBTC of Grayscale, which had existed as a BTC Trust before the approval, saw its market share reduced to below 50% as the nine newly approved ETFs took in 493,807 BTC in Q1. BlackRock's #IBTC and Fidelity's #FBTC were the top two performers in Q1; each had $13.9 billion and $7.5 billion inflows, respectively. From the chart, we can see that daily flows were high at the beginning but had significantly weakened by the end of March. This reflects the waning interest of investors, especially #TradFi institutions. Given the macroeconomic factors, such as elevated crude oil prices due to geopolitics, and rising precious metal prices, whether the appeal of spot BTC ETFs will be sustained is still being determined. Most recently, Hong Kong regulators approved the launch of spot Bitcoin and ether ETFs. Whether funds in #HongKong will buy in is also uncertain. However, new narratives arising in relation to spot #ETH ETFs and Bitcoin would be worth watching.

#ChartoftheDay #EigenLayer 's #eigen token will become claimable today. According to tokenomics, 45% of the 1.67 billion coins will go to the community, of which a third will go to “stakedrops”, another third will go to community initiatives and the last third will go to R&D and ecosystem development. Investors hold 29.5% of the supply, while early contributors own 25.5%, both subject to a three-year lock-up period, with a full lock in year one, followed by a linear unlock of 4% of their total allocation. Of the 15% supply allocated for stakedrops, only 5% is marked for the Season 1 stakedrop. The snapshot date will be March 15. 90% of Season 1 will happen in Phase 1(now) and the last 10% will happen in about 1 month in Phase 2 and be distributed to users who had complex interactions with their LRTs. The EIGEN token will also have an initial non-transferable period. The community perceived the distribution plan negatively because they considered the fraction allocated to stakers to be too small compared to that of the team and investors and the allocation of Phase Two insufficient for points farmers in Pendle and similar protocols. According to Eigenlayer’s token whitepaper uploaded to GitHub last week, EIGEN is a universal intersubjective “work token.” “Work tokens refers to a token that needs to be staked to perform some work. Work tokens are employed by many existing proof-of-stake blockchain platforms to perform validation in the blockchain…Works tokens are used not only as entry conditions for performing digital work but also for punishing non-compliant workers through a cryptoeconomic mechanism called slashing.” The whitepaper explains that restaking expands the scope of ETH beyond the limitations of work tokens and allows it to become a “universal” objective work token so that it can be staked to participate in all kinds of tasks. Meanwhile, EIGEN serves a fully complementary role to ETH with ETH staking powering objective fault slashing and EIGEN staking powering slashing for intersubjective faults.

#ChartoftheDay Last Friday, Friend.Tech, one of the most successful #SocialFi projects in crypto, launched its native token “FRIEND” while unveiling Version 2 of the platform. According to CoinGecko data, the token’s price fell from $3.03 to as low as $0.89 on its first day of trading. A notable new feature of V2 is Money Club, which allows communities to manage shared treasuries and mint tradable on-chain collectibles, like NFTs. The platform also rolls out a new point system designed to reward users for their contributions and interactions on the platform. However, all these features fail to spark too much enthusiasm so far. Also, users reported glitches when trying to access the new Money Club feature. Friend.Tech works by allowing social media personalities, known as “Subjects," to offer “shares” to their community, granting them access to private chats. When debuted last August, Friend.Tech was an immediate hit, realizing a meteoric rise to over 100,000 users and an impressive $2 million in revenue within its inaugural month. However, the hype soon ebbed away by the end of 2023. According to a Dune Analytics dashboard that measures the daily buying and selling volume of “Subjects,” the buying and selling activities became active again in April when the platform announced its token launch. However, after the token launch, daily selling volumes hit record highs. The selloffs of both the FRIEND token and “Subjects” reflect the outflow of users now that the airdrop anticipation or financial incentives are gone. While token dumping and price dips after airdrops are not new, will Friend.Tech be able to reverse the long-term downturn?
