Donald Trump's recent dinner with the major investors of his meme coin once again highlighted the potential for astronomical gains that certain crypto projects can generate, especially those driven by a strong community and significant media hype.
1️⃣ The Trump Effect and the Explosive Gains of Meme Coins:
🎉🎉 Those who invested early in TRUMP experienced gains that seemed unimaginable for many 🎉🎉. 🌋
Before being listed, this meme was trading at values close to $5 and managed to exceed $70 in its first days of operation on Binance. Then it fell. That typical chart of an initial mountain with a rapid drop is very common in all new cryptocurrencies after entering well-known exchanges like Binance. As can be seen in the following image:

In this digital age, we generate enormous amounts of data with every online and offline interaction. From our browsing and shopping habits to our location, the data captured by the sensors of our mobile phones📱, transport vehicles 🚗, public satellites providing global climate information, and even the data shared by our smart home devices 📺, a vast ocean of data flows constantly. However, the underlying architecture of most platforms and web services has led to a concerning centralization of this information. Who really benefits from this digital treasure we collectively create? And how do some projects offer a decentralized and fairer alternative?

Prominent NFT trading platform #opensea is looking to reinvent itself as trading volumes of non-replaceable tokens have dropped to their lowest level in more than three years.

On Monday, OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer posted a post to X talking about the new platform. “We've been slowly working on OpenSea,” he said. - To truly innovate, sometimes you have to take a step back and rethink everything. That's why we built the new OpenSea from the ground up.”

OpenSea also announced the new platform on its X account, saying it will launch in December. The marketplace also has a link to sign up for the waitlist. The announcement of the new platform follows almost exactly a year after OpenSea laid off half of its staff before Finzer said the company had begun work on “OpenSea 2.0.”

After being the dominant marketplace for NFTs for years, including during bull markets when tokens from popular collections like Bored Apes Yacht Club sometimes sold for millions of dollars, OpenSea was supplanted by newcomer Blur at the end of 2022. As the two sites fought for market dominance, overall trading volumes declined. OpenSea has recently managed to regain some of its market share, but according to The Block Data Dashboard, total trading volumes are at their lowest level in more than three years.

One trend that Blur's success over OpenSea seems to have demonstrated is that #NFT​ traders are increasingly interested in using platforms that offer more than just basic buying and selling functionality. Blur's success also suggests that traders want more sophisticated trading tools, while the platform attracts new users with rewards in the form of tokens.

OpenSea's redesign comes at a time when there appears to be little hope for NFT's growth. In January of this year, monthly NFT trading volume based on Ethereum's non-interchangeable tokens reached $868 million, before dropping to $300 million in June and $136 million last month, according to The Block Data Dashboard.
