Why Is Crypto Crashing Today (Again)?

Repeated reports of stubborn CPI inflation data, including August’s, have panicked investors worried about fading purchasing power and looming recession. Many fear that the Federal Open Market Committee will use August’s inflation and jobs data to justify a higher-than-expected rate hike this week.

Since January, risky assets like stocks and cryptos have suffered, while the Nasdaq Composite remains entrenched in a bear market. Bitcoin and Ethereum have both plunged over 60% since January.

But the long-running and highly anticipated nature of these events doesn’t fully explain why crypto took a sudden nosedive with no new information.

Enter “The Merge.”

Treasury Asks for Public Input to Shape Crypto Regulations—Including NFTs and DeFi

“The growing use of digital assets in financial activity heightens risks of crimes such as money laundering, terrorist and proliferation financing, fraud and theft schemes, and corruption,” the Treasury’s document said.

“These illicit activities highlight the need for ongoing scrutiny of the use of digital assets, the extent to which technological innovation may impact such activities, and exploration of opportunities to mitigate these risks through regulation, supervision, public-private engagement, oversight, and law enforcement,” the Treasury continued.

INTERNATIONAL NFT DAY - September 20, 2022

International NFT Day is all about celebrating the creators and collectors in the NFT community. It’s also a day for people to learn about NFTs and get started with their own collection. For starters, NFTs are unique cryptographic tokens or digital collectibles on the blockchain. Creating an NFT is referred to as “minting,” and the ability to possess NFTs is secure, verifiable, and in total control of the owner. Any digital asset can become an NFT: images, art, music, videos – the list is endless.

NFTs are more than just an industry, though. Their popularity goes beyond the dollar signs, becoming collectibles that people cherish and identify with. They’ve become a way for collectors to identify people with similar interests, sprouting communities of people that embrace this technology and where it’s headed. NFT Day is a day to rejoice as an entire community and a significant chance to reflect on the history of how we got here.

Exclusible Wants to Create Enviable, Luxurious Web3 Digital Products and Experiences: A Meta Talkz with Thibault Launay

What was your journey like to get where you are?

Our team was assembled through multiple shared entrepreneur experiences. We all have a huge passion for both collecting digital assets and being involved in the crypto scene. Together with my co-founders, we decided to create Exclusible as the first-ever NFT platform focused on the luxury and other high-end segments of commerce. Knowing that this would be a challenge from the start, we aim to rewrite the new age of digital luxury and elevate traditional brands into the web3 space.

In a simpler phrase, what is your company exactly doing?

We work in collaboration with premium brands and celebrities to develop Metaverse and NFT activations. Our mission is based on the notion that NFTs are the product and the Metaverse is the experience, so we aim to sell digital assets as well as virtual experiences that are linked to the utilities and rewards of those two levels of engagement.

What about Metaverse are you most excited for in the future?

Right now we are very excited about The Sandbox and have generated NFT sales in the several millions of euros on the platform. We are also excited about Decentraland and its capacity for social interaction and to organize community gatherings, events, and exclusive parties. But of course, we always keep in mind that we will need to have a presence on several platforms. For that reason, we have a full Metaverse Department ready to invest and implement activities and activations in various digital universes.

Why should we be paying attention to the Metaverse?

When you think about the future and the next steps ahead, it’s impossible not to think about the importance of virtual life. Of course, by now we already see the big impact of social media and digital platforms in our daily lives, but in the future, this is the natural progression — our digital and 3D interactions will be equally or even more important than physical or conventional life. We are convinced that the progressive migration of our social life to the Metaverse will only accelerate. In an era of conscious consumerism, and overall saturation, the Metaverse opens vast opportunities for luxury brands to develop a new business segment around digital assets and connect with an entirely new generation of users.
