Shiba Inu had a modest 0.25, or 25%, 30-day price trend with Bitcoin. One interpretation is that the price of SHIB is becoming increasingly uncorrelated with Bitcoin’s, suggesting that broader market fluctuations have less of an effect on its value. For comparison, the 30-day correlation between Bitcoin and the stablecoins Tether (USDT), USDC, and Binance USD was 0.21, 0.23, and 0.27, respectively. With a correlation of up to 0.96, other crypto such as Polygon (MATIC) have a robust connection with BTC. For investors looking to diversify their portfolios in case Bitcoin’s price underperforms, crypto assets with a low or negative correlation to Bitcoin may be helpful hedges. After seeing a remarkable 35% increase earlier in August, the SHIB price briefly separated itself from Bitcoin and the rest of the group.

Here’s How Chingari Raises the Bar For NFT Marketplaces With Creator Cuts

Powered by blockchain and non-fungible token technology, Web3 stands poised to disrupt the way content creators monetize their work, pulling the rug from under the corporations that previously called the shots. Leading the charge is India’s fastest-growing on-chain social app, Chingari. Dubbed “India’s TikTok,” Chingari has just released Creator Cuts — its video NFT (vNFT) marketplace. Like TikTok, Chingari is a social media platform for sharing short videos. However, its Solana network integration enables innovative new interactions, bringing creators closer to their followers than ever before. With Chingari’s social token, GARI, powering its revolutionary feature set, the app is now pioneering the use of vNFTs as a mechanism for monetizing content via the Creator Cuts marketplace. This world-first in social media looks set to shake up how content creators earn from their work by wresting control back from the corporations that continue to dictate revenue streams across Web2. Creator Cuts: Empowering creators and fans alike Creator Cuts is a decentralized vNFT marketplace that operates on the Solana network and is part of the rapidly expanding Chingari ecosystem. Chingari was launched in November 2018 and experienced parabolic growth, particularly following an Indian ban on TikTok in 2020 and, later, its innovative blockchain integration. Today, the platform boasts over 130 million users, with more than 5 million individuals signing on daily to enjoy short video content. Creator Cuts is Chingari’s latest foray into the world of Web3. Using the ecosystem’s native cryptocurrency GARI, platform users can buy, sell and mint vNFTs as they would on any NFT marketplace. The platform operates on the Solana network, meaning users benefit from low-cost transaction fees and lightning-fast settlement times. Chingari launched a beta version of Creator Cuts in August 2022. Initially, the team selected 100 of its top creators to pilot the scheme but plans to roll it out to more users soon. For now, each of the chosen creators can mint one vNFT and sell it to their followers. The idea behind vNFTs is to foster a closer relationship between content creators and those that support them. Consistent with the Web3 ethos, Creator Cuts empowers its users by granting full control over their creations and extending them the means of monetizing them directly. Meanwhile, it also rewards a creator’s most loyal followers. Create-to-Earn and Admire-to-Earn? While the idea of buying, selling, and minting NFTs is nothing new, Chingari has integrated additional features to ensure a more vibrant, circular creator economy. Chief among its innovations is the ability for vNFT holders to share in their favorite creators’ financial successes. Chingari users generate revenue via a process known as “GARI Mining” Users creating content and interacting with videos across the platform receive GARI Mining rewards from the project’s Community Reserve. Holders of Creator Cuts vNFTs automatically start to receive a portion of its creator’s total platform revenue as soon as they buy their video clip. Rewards are fixed at 10% of the creator’s overall daily revenue and are paid each day in GARI tokens. This dynamic should ensure significant demand for vNFTs from the platform’s most popular creators. Additionally, it will spur on creators to produce more of the content their fans love — meaning everyone’s a winner! Alongside these innovations, Creator Cuts itself is a powerful NFT marketplace. Its video clip listings fall under various categories, such as “dance,” “sports” and “cooking,” and the “Trending” section makes browsing for the hottest vNFTs quick and easy. In its beta release, the platform’s primary market functions via an auction mechanism, ensuring creators are adequately rewarded for their efforts. As one of the core tenets of Web3, decentralization is also key to the Creator Cuts platform. Although Creator Cuts is an NFT marketplace, users are not tied to the platform itself and vNFT holders will earn rewards regardless of whether they are a Chingari user or not. Simply holding the vNFT in a Solana-compatible wallet is all that’s needed to benefit from the efforts of the creator you support. Meanwhile, secondary market trading of vNFTs will be supported at all Solana ecosystem NFT marketplaces. Dive into Chingari’s Web3 revolution Creator Cuts is already live on the popular and fast-growing social application Chingari. Getting started requires a Solana wallet funded with GARI tokens. Popular compatible wallets include Phantom, Solflare and Sollet. After connecting a wallet, you can dive in and explore Creator Cuts’ vNFTs and start generating GARI tokens by liking, sharing and creating your own video clips. Already supporting a fully working product and home to millions of users, Chingari’s Creator Cuts platform stands as an early example to the rest of the emerging Web3 ecosystem, demonstrating just what’s possible with this disruptive, empowering tech.

Bitcoin CME Front-Month Futures Reach Deepest Discount Ever Recorded

It’s a new record for the CME. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s front-month contracts exhibit a large discount compared to bitcoin’s spot market price. These are the futures contracts that are soon to expire. The CME’s quarterly contracts tend to trade at a minimum premium, and this kind of discount for front-month contracts is not usual. They’ve been trading at a discount for a couple of months, but they reclaimed a premium with the market recovery at the beginning of August. As we all know, that didn’t last. Related Reading: Why Has Bitcoin Futures Open Interest Flatlined? Factors The CME futures contracts on bitcoin have been available since December 2017. The CME’s front-month contracts haven’t traded this low since July 21st of 2021, more than a year and a half ago. At that time, a hardcore short squeeze followed the phenomena. The liquidation amounted to more than $750 million worth of shorts, “leading the open interest denominated in bitcoin to fall by 47,000 BTC,” Arcane Research tweeted. A couple of interesting charts from this week:$757 million worth of shorts was liquidated yesterday, leading the open interest denominated in bitcoin to fall by 47,000 BTC.

There are macro factors, like the bitcoin futures market showing signs of market exhaustion. We at NewsBTC explained the situation as follows: “The reason behind the bitcoin futures premiums being down can be attributed to sell-offs that have rocked the digital asset in recent times. Not only have the sell-offs been apparent in investors who are directly exposed to the cryptocurrency but those who have exposure through traditional markets vehicles like ETFs have been selling off too.” BTC futures on CME for 08/25/2022 | Source: TradingView.com However, Arcane Research’s “The Weekly Update” also identifies very specific factors. These are related to the present and the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF or BITO: “The growing discounts in the front-month contracts might be explained in part by structural effects. BITO has begun rolling their August contract exposure, possibly causing downward pressure on the front-month contracts. Yesterday, BITO rolled over 1000 August contracts and will roll over a further 3000 August contracts by Friday. Previous rolling periods have tended to be accompanied by a declining front-month basis.” Related Reading: One Coin, Two Trades: Why Bitcoin Futures And Spot Signals Don’t Match Up In any case, we can’t discard the situation as a normal occurrence. The discount is too steep. According to Arcane Research, it might be related to the disastrous start of the week for Nasdaq and the S&P 500. Or to the dollar gaining strength. Or to a general lack of liquidity. One thing’s for sure, something’s going on. Featured Image by Markus Spiske on Unsplash | Charts by TradingView and The Weekly Update
