Easing Inflation Could Be Key Catalyst for Decentraland (MANA), Sandbox (SAND) And Metacade (MCADE)
If 2022 taught us one thing, it’s that cryptos, interest rates and inflation are inextricably linked. It’s noticeable that every time the Fed announced a rate hike in response to rising inflation, the value of Bitcoin (BTC), and subsequently, the rest of the market, fell. Thankfully, as we now move into a period of easing inflation, the outlook looks brighter for cryptos. It’s welcome news, especially considering the predicted explosion in demand for GameFi and metaverse games. Easing inflation could be a key catalyst for Decentraland (MANA), Sandbox (SAND) and Metacade (MCADE). Investors are often reluctant to move in times of high-interest rates and challenging economic conditions. They are far more likely to invest when there’s a stable economy with easing inflation and steadier ra...
Ecosystem is bullish on the metaverse, no matter what the numbers imply
An initial interpretation of DappRadar numbers on Oct. 11 reported extremely low engagement numbers for Decentraland, one of Web3’s most-hyped metaverses. The numbers shocked the community, as the platform has a current market evaluation of $1.2 billion. Shortly after the initial report broke, both DappRadar and Decentraland verified that the published number of less than 40 unique active wallets (UAW) was not an accurate representation of activity on the network. According to DappRadar’s tracker at the time of writing, UAW is just over 600. A DappRadar report following the incident revealed that blockchain games and metaverse projects raised a cumulative $1.3 billion in the third fiscal quarter. However, if user engagement is low, what keeps investors coming back for more of the meta...

Russia’s massive build-up of soldiers, warplanes, equipment and extended military drills near Ukraine’s borders increased fears of a possible invasion within the next few days. That could have renewed selling in Bitcoin (BTC), which plummeted below the strong support at $39,600. Among the gloom and doom, there is a ray of hope for crypto investors because data from Glassnode shows that more than 60% of Bitcoin supply has not been used in any transaction for more than a year. This suggests that long-term hodlers are not dumping their positions in the downtrend. Crypto market data daily view.
