Web3 Latest Developments: AI Token Surge, Maverick Innovative Platform, CULT Controversial Launch
Market Hotspots and Important Dynamics in the Web3 and AI Fields
Macroeconomic Environment
Microsoft shareholders vote against Bitcoin investment proposal
At the shareholders' meeting on December 11, Microsoft shareholders rejected a proposal to invest 1% of the company's total assets in Bitcoin. The proposal was put forward by a research center and aimed to hedge against inflation risks. Despite a passionate speech by the founder of MicroStrategy, emphasizing that Bitcoin investment could bring significant returns to Microsoft, the shareholders ultimately chose to support the board's recommendation and rejected the proposal.
Microsoft's major shareholders are mostly institutional investors, who seem to remain cautious about cryptocurrency investments, preferring to choose assets with lower volatility. This decision reflects the relatively conservative attitude of traditional financial institutions towards crypto assets.
MicroStrategy may join the Nasdaq 100 Index.
According to reports, MicroStrategy is expected to officially join the Nasdaq 100 index on December 23, with an official announcement possibly being made on December 13. Analysts predict that ETFs tracking the index may purchase approximately $2.1 billion worth of MicroStrategy shares, which will have a positive impact on the company's stock price. MicroStrategy is expected to become the 40th largest component in the index, with a weight of 0.47%.
Web3 Field Dynamics
Solana ecosystem AI-themed tokens have performed remarkably well.
On December 11, multiple AI-related tokens on the Solana chain reached new highs. The no-code development platform ALCH's market cap surpassed $150 million, with a 24-hour increase of 32.8%. The AI-driven venture capital DAO token ai16z's market cap exceeded $800 million, with a 24-hour increase of 52.4%. The meme coin DEGENAI saw an increase of over 70% within 24 hours, and its price has risen over 6 times since its launch. These figures indicate that the market's enthusiasm for AI and meme tokens continues to soar.
Maverick Protocol launches innovative DeFi platform
Maverick Protocol has launched a new memeFi platform called Goose.run on the Base chain, aimed at bringing DeFi functions into the meme coin sector. The platform integrates multiple features such as meme coin launches, leveraged trading, and non-liquidation lending, and adopts an innovative community governance mechanism. This initiative creates new use cases and revenue opportunities for MAV token holders, which is expected to further enhance the value of the ecosystem.
The official launch of the CULT token has sparked heated discussions.
The Meme coin CULT, launched by the founder of Milady, has finally gone live after a long wait. At the beginning of its launch, its market value briefly exceeded $1.2 billion but quickly fell back. CULT uses a unique token claiming method that requires participation in games such as quizzes and drawing. Although there is a gap compared to other well-known NFT projects, the future development of CULT is still worth paying attention to.
