Fantom Has Exposure to 37% Locked Funds on Multichain Protocol

Of the total $1.8 billion in total-value-locked (TVL) of Multichain, the Fantom blockchain remains the most impacted with 36.7%. As of now, the total assets on the Fantom blockchain are $1.66 billion and nearly 40% of these assets have been wrapped on Multichain.

As we know, Multichain is one of the largest blockchain bridges in the crypto space. Thus, it facilitates the swapping of tokens across multiple blockchains. Top platforms such as Binance Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and Ethereum have been using the Multichain bridge.

Multichain is also the official cross-chain bridge for the Fantom, a blockchain supporting smart contracts and powered by native FTM tokens. Crypto journalist Colin Wu notes: “the main stablecoin on Fantom is 191 million, USDC and 82 million USDT assets are basically issued by Multichain”.

Fantom Operating As Normal

As the concerns over the Multichain crisis spread across the crypto market, Fantom took it to Twitter stating that its Multchain Bridge is operating as normal.

This assurance has prevented any major price correction in the native FTM token which is currently trading 0.75% down at a price of $0.33 and a market cap of $925 million.

As a matter of caution following the Multichain situation, the Fantom Foundation has withdrawn its funds from the liquidity pools on Sushiswap. As of May 24, the foundation pulled out $2.4 million of MULTI, which is the native token of the Multichain protocol.

Speaking to The Block, Fantom Foundation Director Andre Cronje said: “No point to LP at times of uncertainty. You can see in the wallet the funds haven’t been sold, as soon as Multichain is able to release a statement around this and clear it up we will LP again”.

Shiba Inu Mainnet Registers Increased Activity Alongside Shibarium's Puppynet

Image
Shibarium’s native testnet, Puppynet, has been making a lot of noise of late. As reported recently, the test network processed more than 1 million transactions with the assistance of more than 200k unique wallets. Interestingly, there has been a corresponding network growth on the main Shiba Inu network as well. The latest data from IntoTheBlock revealed that the number of new and active addresses on the network increased by 5.29% and 7.55% respectively over the past week. Basically, an address is considered to be active when it becomes a direct participant in a successful transaction. New addresses, on the other hand, gauge the number of fresh entrants into the ecosystem. According to the thumb rule, the higher both the numbers, the better, for they hint towards refining participation by traders/investors. Thus, it can be said that the latest uptrend registered on both these fronts is quite an encouraging sign. Source: ITB Also Read – Shiba Inu: ‘Puppynet’ Processes 1 M

Bitwise Asset Management has withdrawn its application for a Bitcoin and Ethereum Market Cap Weight Strategy ETF. Bitwise Asset Management has withdrawn its application for a Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) Market Cap Weight Strategy exchange-traded fund. It was initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Aug. 3. This decision follows a period of increased optimism in the crypto market after Grayscale secured approval for its own ETF from the SEC. Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, had expressed support for the SEC’s approval of crypto ETFs in a previous interview with Bloomberg. The planned ETF was designed to invest in futures contracts for either Bitcoin or Ethereum, guided by their respective market capitalizations. In addition, Bitwise was concurrently collaborating with ProShares to initiate another ETF. The company’s official statement on the withdrawal noted, “The Trust no longer intends to seek effectiveness of the Fund and no securi

Short-Term Profit Seekers Flee Overvalued Hype Coins, Sparking Sell-Off

Crypto analyst VIKTOR identifies a notable pattern in the bearish altcoin market.  He pointed to sharper declines in tokens like BIGTIME, WLD, and JTO during a recent liquidation. Trends of a stronger presence in perpetual contracts and short-term profit-seeking motives were also observed. Amid the bearish trend rocking the altcoin market since the start of the new year, a crypto analyst has spotted a noteworthy pattern in the downward trajectory of some tokens that fit into a specific category. In a recent tweet, crypto analyst VIKTOR called attention to an observation from the January 3 market turbulence, wildly dubbed “liquidation day.” VIKTOR highlighted that while most altcoins experienced a substantial downturn of approximately 30%, he pointed out a distinctive trend among specific tokens that saw even more significant drops. Specifically, he noted that sensational coins such as BIGTIME, Pyth Network (PYTH), MEME, TOKEN, Worldcoin (WLD), and Jito (J
