1. Pudgy Penguins CEO: Not worried about the SEC’s recent actions against the NFT industry
Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Schnetzler said he is not concerned about the recent actions taken by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against the NFT industry. On August 28, NFT marketplace OpenSea revealed that it had received a Wells Notice from the SEC. The company claimed that the SEC claimed that NFTs on the trading platform may qualify as securities. Then, on September 17, the SEC fined the Flyfish Club restaurant $750,000 for offering NFTs. Schnetzler added that if the SEC takes action against OpenSea, they will have to go up against a lot of large organizations that are already involved in the NFT space. Schnetzler believes that OpenSea is not selling on false promises. "OpenSea, in particular, I think it has its own unique parts, like not selling people false promises or dreams. So for that reason, I am not worried."

2. Bitwise: Ethereum may reverse its weak trend before the end of the year
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said that ETH seems to be on the shelf now, but its poor price performance may be reversed as the year draws to a close. The report believes that ETH's recent poor performance stems from risks related to the November US presidential election, increased competition from Solana and other blockchains, challenges facing token economics, and mixed reactions to the launch of spot trading platform exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. Hougan pointed out that the market may re-evaluate Ethereum as the November election approaches and regulation becomes clear. At present, Ethereum seems to be a potential contrarian investment option by the end of this year.

4. Framework Ventures co-founded: Berachain mainnet will be launched before the end of the year
On September 18, Vance Spencer, co-founder of Framework Ventures, said at Token2049 in Singapore that the Berachain mainnet and tokens are scheduled to be launched by the end of 2024. Berachain's POL consensus mechanism can introduce a fully consistent blockchain ecosystem by transferring part of the profits back to ecosystem participants: when users stake BERA, they must direct the liquidity they obtain to these primitives. In this way, all fees remain in the ecosystem. They all flow to BGT and BERA holders, which is what the market desires. It is worth noting that on April 12, the new public chain Berachain announced the completion of a $100 million Series B financing, which is about 45% higher than the previously reported amount. This round of financing was jointly led by Brevan Howard Digital's Abu Dhabi branch and Framework Ventures, with participation from Polychain Capital, Hack VC and Tribe Capital.
