DeFi is driving one of the most aggressive waves of innovation in decades. While some may feel that DeFi is a mature industry, it is still evolving rapidly, launching tools that have the potential to redefine traditional finance.
Below we take a look at some of the most promising developments in DeFi and the protocols at the forefront of this revolution.

At about 9:00 on November 11, according to OKX market data, the BTC price once surged to around $81,733, which also means that Bitcoin has officially stabilized at the $81,000 mark, entering the "80,000 era" that countless people dream of, and is only about 23% away from the "100,000 US dollar mark". Stimulated by many favorable factors such as Trump's successful victory in the US presidential election, the continuous inflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs, and the continued interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, Bitcoin has once again begun its "journey to the stars and the sea."
Standard Chartered: Why Tokenization Will Be the Game Changer for Global Trade?
Article source: Web3 Law
This report, co-authored by Standard Chartered and Synpulse, is a comprehensive overview of real-world asset tokenization in the context of cross-border trade. The report details how tokenization will become a game-changer for global trade, providing unprecedented liquidity, divisibility, and accessibility to investors by transforming trade assets into transferable tools.
Traditional financial assets can experience significant volatility due to macro market influences, while trade assets differ in this regard. Although trade is closely related to the economy, economic downturns will impact bank loans. However, the significant trade finance gap still provides a good opportunity for investors to enter the market, as SMEs continue to require substantial financing even during economic slowdowns, creating ongoing investment opportunities. To some extent, trade assets can withstand global economic downturns.

Outside of the meme craze, the crypto industry is still making practical project investments, and Binance Labs' investment trends are also under close scrutiny.

However, things seem to have always been traceable.
Although CZ has gradually stepped back from Binance, during legal issues earlier this year, he mentioned in a letter to the judge:

He stated that the success of PUMPFUN hinges on the youth and innovative capability of their team. He mentioned that the biggest change after Trump took office was that he would not appoint an SEC chairman and Treasury Secretary who are hostile to cryptocurrencies, which would greatly improve entrepreneurial sentiment.

Article reproduced from: Nancy
Author: Nancy, PANews
AI MEME coin Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) experienced multiple betrayals from the Dev (deployer) and once fell into a trough, but now it has dramatically welcomed a plot reversal. On November 11, Binance announced the listing of ACT and added seed tags for it, igniting market sentiment, leading ACT to surge over tenfold in a short time, making it one of the few low market cap MEME coins launched by Binance this year.
According to DEX Screener data, as of the publication, ACT's intraday maximum increase reached 1445.4%, with its market cap once soaring from over 20 million USD to a maximum of 300 million USD, and the trading volume in the past 24 hours exceeding 230 million USD.
From the 'Media War' in the American Election, Insights into New Opportunities for Web3 Social Media Platforms
Source of article repost: Mario Looks at Web3
Author: @Web3Mario
Summary: The American election has concluded, with Trump making a powerful comeback. In my previous articles, I have thoroughly discussed both sides’ political and economic proposals and their impact on the future cryptocurrency market, and many articles express related viewpoints, so I will not repeat them here. During this time, aside from focusing on the election dynamics, I also felt and observed a relatively micro phenomenon that I found interesting, so I summarize it to share with you all. Overall, this American election's 'media war' will greatly weaken the credibility of mainstream media and X social media, while Web3 social media platforms may welcome new development opportunities, partly due to the need for Democratic Party followers to cultivate new and self-controlled propaganda channels, which brings convenience to related competitors in financing. Additionally, under Musk's governance, X will increasingly become dictatorial, and this 'Dark MAGA' is bound to lean towards conservatism on various cultural issues, such as abortion, immigration, and LGBTQ multiculturalism. The preferences of a dictator will greatly impact the logic of recommendation algorithms on X, so the trend of user loss standing in opposition is inevitable, and X's self-sabotage will benefit related competitors in reshaping more competitive product differentiation, thus reducing promotional difficulties.

Last week, I published an article titled (Points? Airdrop? NFT Launchpad? OpenSea 2.0 sparks many market speculations), and just last weekend, NFT trader john.weth, as an early tester of the OpenSea 2.0 version, revealed many details of this version. So, what highlights does OpenSea 2.0 have?

Data metrics are comprehensively declining; who is stifling the vitality of Telegram mini-games?
Article reprinted from: Shisi-Jun
Introduction
Recently, Telegram bots and Miniapp data have shown a significant downward trend.
Once upon a time, driven by the explosive growth of Clicker games, Telegram Miniapp became a focal point in the blockchain field.
However, behind the prosperity lies a hidden crisis.
The TON Foundation's support strategy has overly relied on Clicker games, which, while bringing a surge of users and data in the short term, has also sown the seeds of ecological imbalance.
As users' freshness fades, the homogenization and lack of depth in Clicker games gradually become apparent, causing the entire ecosystem to suffer backlash.
Recently, voices criticizing Ethereum have been incessant, with most discussions surrounding the price of ETH. Indeed, BTC is setting new highs daily, while ETH is still nearly 40% away from its peak in 2021 (4800 USD). Of course, the ETH price has started to rise recently, seemingly feeling the pressure of criticism. I also believe that this time, Ethereum is likely to break its previous high.
But what exactly has happened to Ethereum? Why is this cycle completely unable to keep pace with Bitcoin?
Has Ethereum really shown signs of decline? Is it difficult to replicate the glory of the past?

Does RWA Bring a Financial Paradigm Shift? Interpreting Hong Kong's Crypto Ambitions from the OSL-Selected Sandbox Project
Article reprinted from: Nancy
Digital asset finance is a historic bus that Hong Kong cannot afford to miss.
Since the official announcement of the virtual asset policy declaration on October 31, 2022, Hong Kong has become one of the most determined and proactive jurisdictions embracing Web3 and digital assets in the global international financial center. From the government's clear and solemn policy promises to the institutional support from regulatory bodies like the Securities and Futures Commission and the Monetary Authority, Hong Kong is making great strides towards the innovative frontier of digital asset finance.
In this context, the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is a key part of the Hong Kong government's digital asset financial strategy, especially on August 28, 2024, when the Hong Kong Monetary Authority officially launched the 'Ensemble' sandbox program, which will use experimental tokenized currency to promote interbank settlement and focus on the study of tokenized asset transactions, marking the Hong Kong government's forward-looking layout in the field of tokenized assets and demonstrating Hong Kong's determination to become the global RWA tokenization center.

With the results of the U.S. presidential election settled, what changes will the cryptocurrency industry face after Donald Trump wins the election?
In this year's campaign, Trump showcased a new pro-cryptocurrency stance and for the first time made cryptocurrency policy an important issue, making a series of commitments. His commitments included firing SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on his 'first day in office,' commuting the sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, establishing a presidential cryptocurrency advisory committee, abolishing SAB 121, ending 'Operation Choke Point 2.0,' turning the U.S. into a 'powerhouse' for Bitcoin mining, and creating a national strategic Bitcoin reserve.

IOSG Partner: In-depth Discussion on Binance's Listing Fees and Response Methods
Article Source: IOSG
Author: Jocy, IOSG Partner
The entire industry of exchanges is switching and rotating. I have been using exchanges since 2013, starting with Huobi. Between 2013 and 2017, many Chinese users favored Huobi. In every era, there are always one or two exchange founders who are determined to stick to their products and inject feelings into them. After the 2017 ban, people around me began discussing Binance and BNB, regarding ICOs/exchanges going overseas. In the past two cycles, under the leadership of CZ and He Yi, the Binance team went overseas, conquering cities, and has now become the largest exchange in the universe, with users far exceeding 300 million. Here we get to the point regarding Binance's accumulation of 19 early Launchpool projects this year and the recent market discussions questioning listing fees.
Viewpoint: Why is Binance’s coin listing dilemma an inevitable outcome?
Article source: 0xTodd
Author: 0xTodd
I am not afraid of offending people - the "Binance listing dilemma" is an inevitable outcome, and the redemption plan is very cruel.
1. Traditional Listing vs Crypto Listing
The two most important purposes of traditional companies going public are:
1. Refinance and expand production;
2. Endorsement;
Both are designed to enable companies to gain commercial competitive advantages and create more profits for themselves and their shareholders.
Secondly, both:
3. Founders and investors exit;
4. Motivate employees;
The former is a real benefit and encourages the birth of more businesses in society; the latter gains business advantage by increasing employee loyalty.

Brief summary:
Artificial intelligence will drive cryptocurrencies into the mainstream. Cryptocurrencies are a perfect fit for a world filled with AI agents. Currently, many cryptocurrency startups related to AI agents are emerging in DeFi, infrastructure, and consumer application scenarios. The future is likely to be a multi-agent model, so get ready. Even non-financial AI agents will use cryptocurrencies for two reasons:
