Polygon Launches $720 Million Fund for Blockchain Financing
Polygon has launched a $720 million Community Treasury to support blockchain projects over the next 10 years.
This initiative will support developers in the Polygon and Ethereum ecosystems. In the first season of the Community Grant Program (CGP), the fund will allocate 35 million Polygon (MATIC) tokens, worth approximately 25 million USD. The Polygon Community Treasury, formed through community consensus, will distribute approximately 100 million tokens annually, totaling 1 billion tokens over a decade.
The first part offers two tracks: the General Funding Track and the Consumer Cryptocurrency Track. The general funding track is open to anyone, with no strict limits, but Polygon wants to focus on DApps, developer libraries and tools, and protocol infrastructure.
Grant application and allocation process
Projects must be under construction or ready to migrate to Polygon and demonstrate long-term viability. Grants will range from 5,000 to over 50,000 MATIC with the Community Treasury Board overseeing the selection process.
Focus on ecosystem growth
The launch of the Community Treasury initiative will enable Polygon to support early-stage projects and help developers secure funding. #POLYGON $MATIC
Bitcoin, ETH prices increased more than 1% after the US Fed kept interest rates unchanged
Cryptocurrency prices fluctuated on Wednesday as investors analyzed comments from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) that provided new insight into the US central bank's fight against inflation .
Policymakers' move to leave interest rates unchanged for an 11th straight month was a foregone conclusion, based on developments in the Fed futures market. In its most restrictive position in more than 20 years, the Fed kept its benchmark borrowing rate at between 5.25% and 5.5%.
However, the release of a “dot plot” this month shows that leaders at the US central bank have seen a notable change in financial conditions since March. In Brief In its most recent economic forecast, the Fed has announced three interest rate cuts through the end of the year.
The dot plot released Wednesday shows that Fed policymakers now think another rate cut may be more appropriate - interpreted by the market as a hawkish sign. This forecast far exceeds the two rate cuts that economists expected the Fed might make, as it appears the Fed will keep interest rates higher for longer as the economy and The US labor market is strong.
Cryptocurrency prices rose earlier in the day on news that inflation had fallen to 3.3% in the 12 months through May. The report showed that consumer prices for US goods and services last month increased slightly less than economists predicted. #bitcoin #BTC $BTC $ETH
In the news of some news sources, Ripple said it will sell 150 million XRP tokens worth about 78 million USD this June.
On June 1, Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP from the initial distribution, locked until 2027. Ripple deposited 200 million XRP into a treasury account and locked 800 million into a new escrow wallet.
Wallet address “Ripple (35)” deposited an additional 200 million tokens into the treasury, bringing the total hoard to 400 million XRP. The sale from the treasury account “Ripple (1)” sent tokens to the anonymous account “rP4X2hTa”, causing inflation of the XRP supply by placing tokens that had never been in circulation.
Up to now, the money is still in the account “rP4X2hTa”. This amount will likely be transferred to the “rhWt2bhR” account and other intermediary addresses before being listed on CEX, as happened in previous sales.
Since the beginning of the year, only 5 out of 12 XRP sell-offs have had a positive effect on the price on February 5, February 11, April 14, May 13 and May 20, while 7 remaining negative impact. XRP's monthly performance in the first half of 2024 also underperformed, with three out of five months showing declines.

Analyst says NOT is about to surge 67% Advertisement
