Most NFT projects collapse once Bitcoin hits $ 100,000



NFT analyst Mateen Soudagar predicts that most non-fungible token (NFT) projects will suffer a setback and are likely to collapse if the price of Bitcoin and Ether soars to $ 100,000 and $ 10,000, respectively.


According to Soudagar, 60 to 75% of NFT projects in existence today are fraudulent. He also assumes that prices will fall if the prices for BTC and ETH fall.


“NFT projects where people were primarily for speculative reasons will be disappointed. And they may not recover. "


Soudagar believes the NFT industry will evolve into more "sophisticated games and virtual worlds," but "projects of little use will perish."


To the moon

After the approval of the first exchange-traded Bitcoin futures fund (ETF) in the US, Bitcoin climbed to a record high of $ 67,000 on October 20 . The benchmark cryptocurrency has more than doubled in value from its $ 30,000 low in late July.


As PlanB's S2F (stock-to-flow) forecasting model shows, analysts expect institutional engagement to drive the price up to $ 100,000 by the end of the year. The situation is similar with Ethereum , which also hit an all-time high of over $ 4,000 in the past few days and could soar to $ 10,000 in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the value of NFTs has skyrocketed recently, with trading volume exceeding $ 15.5 billion, according to DappRadar, compared to just a few thousand in 2017 when tokenized digital art buying and selling began.


The sector is dominated by the Opensea marketplace, which has reached a total volume of 9.5 billion US dollars, followed by Axie Infinity with 2.7 billion US dollars. Both platforms work on the Ethereum blockchain, as do most other marketplaces.


The stamina of the NFTs

In a Twitter thread, Soudagar drew parallels between the behavior of altcoins - basically any other digital asset that is not bitcoin - and that of NFTs. He notes that many NFT projects follow “the same sentiment” as altcoins - they drop sharply when Bitcoin rallies as money flows from the smaller coins into BTC.


“Just as altcoins suffer a setback when bitcoin or ether hit all-time highs, so will NFTs. The good alts should do well in the long term. Just like with non-fungible tokens. "


The investor has set up different scenarios for different holding periods. He assumes that what he calls “good projects” will have the stamina in the event of a drop in the price of non-fungible tokens.


“ NFT projects where the community/team is strong [and] growing can keep interested going. As well as super rare/iconic NFTs stand a high chance of weathering bearish waves and gaining growth. "



However, Soudagar does not bet everything on this scenario, but also talks about rising NFT prices during a market crash. Because at the beginning of this year we saw rising NFT prices fueled by the euphoria of the mainstream media

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
