Week through Adrian's Lenses (19-25 June 2023)

Let's see what we have for this week's roundup.

Week on Hive

Leofinance Adds Hive Communities to the New UI

A must-read update from Leofinance, in my opinion (I think I read it entirely for the first time too), where the Hive Communities integration to Leofinance is presented but also plans to integrate them with Threads and the coming rebranding of Leofinance.

Also, Leofinance announced this week the partnership with SanR, Santiment's Trading Platform.

SPK Network Team Meeting + VSC Updates

For anyone interested in what SPK Network is building and who has the time and patience to listen through a pretty long recording for some potential gems, you will find them in the last recording. Although not directly linked to SPK Network other than who develops it, I recommend the updates on VSC starting at around 1h17m.

Genesis League Goals Update

Splinterlands put out an update for GLG, to explain skills, slots and charges. Although I don't follow closely, looks like the release of the game is approaching.

DailyDab: DBOND Presale Ended

The presale ended yesterday and DBOND tokens were already distributed to participants. Here's the last update on the presale. If you want a share of the minted DAB, remember to stake your DBOND tokens!

CTPX at Nice Milestones

CTPX published some of their numbers which are looking great, and also they talk about their growing curation capabilities for CTP, HIVE and now LEO.

Golem Overlord Development Back

We have 3 development updates from GO this week, all regarding NFTs:

• Tech NFTs
• Eye-candy follow-up
• Background NFTs

dCity Updates

New buildings and new ways to claim citizens on Discord were announced by dCity this week.

Week in the Crypto World

SEC Cleared the Way for Wall Street into Crypto?

We've seen the crackdown the SEC has conducted on crypto entities with operations in the US.

The timing when Blackrock decided to file for their Bitcoin Spot ETF made many consider this was coordinated. Even more, this week other Wall Street giants (Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and Citadel) launched a non-custodial crypto exchange.

If this is not enough, this week the SEC approved the first leveraged (2x) Bitcoin ETF, before approving the first spot Bitcoin ETF.

Whether a coordination was going on or not between the parties, from the spreader of fire, the SEC may be feeling the heat now and going forward.

More importantly though, Chair Powell from the Fed called stablecoins "a form of money" and that they want a role in their regard which goes directly in opposition with what Gary Gensler from the SEC said, that they should be registered as securities.
