1⃣ Political bigwigs on stage: The chair of the Senate Banking Committee personally set up a meeting.
The Injective team recently met with U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (recently appointed as chair of the Senate Banking Committee's Digital Assets Subcommittee) in Washington to discuss the future of blockchain innovation and DeFi.
Highlight: Lummis is the 'flag bearer' in the digital asset field, advocating for the use of Bitcoin reserves to strengthen the dollar's position. This meeting signifies that Injective may have a 'foot in the door' for future policy-making, promoting the compliance process.
2⃣ Data on the 'Bloomberg Terminal'! Institutional user express lane launched.
Injective mainnet data has been integrated by Token Terminal and is now available on Bloomberg Terminal (a standard tool for institutional traders).
Significance: Global institutional users can directly view Injective's market data through Bloomberg, equivalent to 'on-chain data penetrating Wall Street.'
Complaining: Although institutional entry may not immediately pump the market, in the long run, this is a real 'gold-plated certification.'
3⃣ AI Index $AIX launched: One-click investment in the AI sector.
Injective has launched a hybrid AI index AIX combining crypto and traditional assets, including AIX, $NVDA, $TAO, and 16 other assets, claiming to be a 'decentralized version of an AI fund.'
The highlight is that traditional stocks can also be purchased on-chain, leaving both 'old investors' and 'new investors' bewildered. The oracle Stork provides real-time pricing, but the market's interest in such tokens is currently low (referencing other on-chain asset tokenization projects). This product is innovative, but liquidity is key, depending on whether large holders are willing to buy in.
4⃣ Injective Native EVM launched: Performance maximized.
The newly launched Native EVM is not an 'add-on module' but is directly embedded into the core of the chain, claiming to have 400% higher throughput than mainstream EVMs, with TPS up to 8 times higher.
Cutting-edge features: - Supports on-chain AI computation (Is DeFAI about to take off?) - Full chain rollback for transaction failures, no wasted Gas - 0 Gas experience + built-in MEV defense, retail investors are thrilled.
While other legacy chains are still patching things up, Injective has directly changed engines, which can be said to be a 'dimensionality reduction attack.'
5⃣ Korea's top custodian KDAC enters the scene: Maximum security.
South Korea's top custodian KDAC (backed by traditional financial institutions like NH Bank) joins the Injective ecosystem and deploys mainnet nodes.
This collaboration is clearly aimed at lowering the threshold for Asian institutional users, and the SOC 1 certified custodial solution also encourages 'large funds' to enter the market. Korea has always been a hotbed for cryptocurrency speculation, and this collaboration may bring a continuous influx of 'kimchi power.'
6⃣ Major brand upgrade: From geeky to 'appealing to all ages.'
Injective has a new logo and visual design, with a simultaneous upgrade of the product line:
Injective Hub: Smoother operations, with added asset tracking and smart contract querying.
InjScan block explorer: Supports NFT pages and transaction classifications, making on-chain data understandable for newcomers.
This upgrade is quite practical; it used to look like a programmer's exclusive tool, but now it has finally taken a popular route.
7⃣ Denver Builder Day: A developer celebration is scheduled.
March 1 Denver event, CTO personally on stage + ecosystem project showcase, and reportedly free merchandise and meals.
Suggestion: If you can't attend, remember to keep an eye on the community livestream; there might be an 'airdrop announcement.'
In summary, in the past half month, Injective's operations have both 'top-level design' (policy, institutions) and 'technical prowess' (EVM, AI index), while also considering user experience (brand upgrade). Although some features still need market validation (like the liquidity of $AIX), it's better to innovate than to lay flat, and the team that is taking action deserves praise.$INJ
