Daily Crypto & Economic Pulse – August 16, 2025

Global markets remain cautious as the US Federal Reserve signals a potential delay in rate cuts amid persistent inflation, while the EU tightens crypto regulations under MiCA, sparking mixed reactions from investors. These macroeconomic shifts could influence crypto volatility, particularly for altcoins tied to DeFi and cross-chain innovations.

Across Protocol (ACX) continues gaining traction with its ultra-efficient bridging solution, recently integrating with a major Layer 2 network to reduce costs for cross-chain swaps. Its focus on optimized liquidity routes aligns with rising demand for interoperability.

Geojam (JAM) is leveraging its social-fi model to onboard mainstream users, partnering with a global music festival to tokenize fan engagement. The platform’s push for Web3 adoption could see increased utility for $JAM as a governance and rewards token.

Tellor (TRB) stands out as its decentralized oracle network secures a key partnership with a leading lending protocol, enhancing data reliability for DeFi platforms. With the growing need for tamper-proof price feeds, TRB’s niche in decentralized data solutions may see renewed interest.

As geopolitical and economic uncertainties loom, these projects highlight crypto’s evolving use cases - bridging finance, community, and infrastructure. Investors should monitor regulatory developments and tech milestones for opportunities.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s pulse!
