The Next Wave of Web3 Investments: The Investment Communities' New Narrative.

In a groundbreaking move, Binance Labs announced the establishment of CoILabs, an invite-only Web3 investment community, on August 31, 2023 [1]

CoILabs is an exclusive, invitation-only Web3 investment community designed for investors, founders, and builders. It features member-exclusive content, real-time trading resources, investor insights, and access to the Binance Labs network.

Before the announcement of CoILabs, Coinbase co-founder Brian Armstrong revealed his "10 Favorite Ideas in Crypto," encompassing concepts such as RWA (Tokenizing Real World Assets), On-chain Capital Formation, and On-chain Reputation[2]

Binance has consistently maintained a leadership position within the cryptocurrency industry, while Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong has consistently demonstrated a keen ability to anticipate future trends. From this, we can infer that significant transformations are occurring in the fundraising and investment approaches of the Web3 sector. Decentralization and community involvement are poised to become the new trends. Sharing the benefits of outstanding Web3 projects with community builders is essential to foster faster and more robust growth in this industry, especially during market downturns.

In early August of this year, AlphaXLabs, endorsed by numerous renowned industry partners, declared its position as a research and technology-driven community-based fund.

AlphaXLabs has adopted an innovative organizational structure; it localizes and commercializes the interests of communities, linking the experienced community networks and capital of Europe, America, and Asia through the issuance of equity-based NFTs. It specializes in Web3 and cutting-edge AI technologies, operating as a hybrid community fund [3].

Amid the various issues exposed by traditional finance under centralized mechanisms, capital raising, management, and profit distribution on the blockchain are poised to become pivotal drivers of capital transformation. These developments are also set to play a significant role in ushering in the next bullish phase of the Web3 narrative.

AlphaXLabs stands as the inaugural fund to embrace a finance-oriented, equity-based NFT model, aimed at pooling Web3 primary and secondary market gains and sharing them with the community of members.

The NFT market has witnessed a thriving expansion since the beginning of 2021, but it has recently encountered a downturn. This decline can be attributed to the inherent uncertainty surrounding the value of NFTs. However, AlphaXLabs introduces a financial equity-based NFT model that provides a clear definition of the foundational value and rights associated with NFTs. The on-chain financial attributes of these equity-based NFTs further streamline their value circulation and distribution processes, fostering enhanced fairness and transparency for NFT holders.

At the heart of high-value communities lies the core principle of connection, where the essence of these connections revolves around shared cognition and interests. NFTs happen to be the most adept technological solution to address this connectivity challenge, offering a decentralized and trustless approach. It is believed that financial equity-based NFTs will play a pivotal role in unlocking widespread adoption of NFTs. Simultaneously, they serve as a critical gateway for ushering traditional capital and high-net-worth users into the Web3 ecosystem.

  • Victory Securities: Funding Rates halved and fell, Bitcoin's short-term direction is not one-sided

    Zhou Lele, the Vice Chief Operating Officer of Victory Securities, analyzed that the macro and high-level negative impact risks in the cryptocurrency market have passed. The risks are now more focused on expected realization, such as the American entrepreneur Musk and the American "Efficiency Department" (DOGE) led by Ramaswamy.

Last week, the net inflow of off-exchange Bitcoin ETF was US$1.67 billion, and the holdings of exchange contracts and CME contracts remained high, but the funding rates halved and fell back, indicating that the direction of Bitcoin in the short term is not one-sided, and bears are also accumulating strength.

  • ECB board member Villeroy: Falling inflation allows ECB to cut interest rates

     ECB board member Villeroy de Galhau said in an interview that the decline in inflation allows the ECB to lower interest rates. In addition, the slow pace of price increases compared to average wages is also a factor in the rate cut. Villeroy de Galhau emphasized that the ECB's interest rate policy decision is independent of the Fed. Evidence shows that the ECB began to lower interest rates in early June, while the Fed lowered interest rates three months later. With the decline in inflation, we will be able to continue to lower interest rates. Currently, the market generally expects the ECB to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at the next meeting in December, but weaker data increases the possibility of a 50 basis point cut.
