1. Grayscale: Cryptocurrency Industry Trends and Potential Tokens in Q4 2024

The Crypto Industry Framework is designed to be updated dynamically with the evolving digital asset markets and is rebalanced at the end of each quarter. The most recent quarterly rebalancing process concluded on September 20th. Since the beginning of the year, the index rebalancing process has resulted in significant changes in the index composition, reflecting new exchange listings, changes in asset liquidity, and market performance. This year's updates to the Crypto Industry Index highlighted emerging themes in the digital asset industry, including the rise of decentralized AI platforms (such as TAO), efforts to tokenize traditional assets (such as ONDO, OM, and GFI), and the popularity of memecoins (such as PEPE, WIF, FLOKI, and BONK).

Since CZ was imprisoned on May 1 this year, it can be said that Binance and the entire crypto industry have temporarily lacked an evangelist and leader. But today, four months later, CZ has returned, but at this time he has already completed the transformation of his identity and is about to start a new chapter in his life. Click to read

4. Is Aleo doomed to fail?

Aleo, once regarded as a rising star in the blockchain privacy computing track, is experiencing a rapid decline from its heyday to obscurity.

5.How many paths does Bitcoin have in the future?

Mircea Popescu is a mostly forgotten figure in the field, but he was an early and highly influential cultural figure before he faded from public view and eventually "accidentally" drowned off the coast of Costa Rica. He was a pretty crazy and eccentric guy, but he left a lasting impact on the field. I think he's essentially the godfather of what people think of today as "toxic extremism," although compared to people who claim that label today, he makes them look like overly sensitive and whiny children.
