According to a16z’s “State of Crypto” report, crypto interest has surged in three of the top five swing states since 2020.

Digital assets may not be a top issue in the United States presidential elections, but they are increasingly becoming a key topic for many voters, particularly in swing states.

According to a16z’s “State of Crypto 2024” report, data from Google Trends indicates that Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, both expected to host tight races, have recorded the fourth- and fifth-largest increases in cryptocurrency search interest since the 2020 elections.

Other swing states, such as Michigan and Georgia, have also seen a surge in cryptocurrency queries, while Arizona and Nevada have experienced moderate declines in interest since 2020. These states can swing either way — Democratic or Republican — during presidential elections, often playing a crucial role in determining the outcome of US elections.

Bitcoin rally above short-term holder metric has traders calling for new BTC price highs
Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s recent rally put its price above a key bull market metric. Are new highs inbound?

Bitcoin (BTC) rallied above $62,000 on Sept. 19, rising above its short-term holder (STH) realized price and showing potential for further gains, according to onchain data. 

The STH realized price is a metric that calculates the average price at which short-term investors—those who have held their coins for less than 155 days–have purchased their Bitcoin. It acts as support in uptrends because these holders are more likely to buy if the price rises above their entry point.

CryptoQuant analyst Avocado_onchain explains that STH realized price “has consistently acted as a critical support and resistance level” for Bitcoin.

Chainlink’s Sergey Nazarov predicts asset tokenization will transform Web3

Chainlink’s Sergey Nazarov predicts asset tokenization will transform Web3

Trillions of dollars will flow into Web3 once the details of the Internet of Contracts are worked out.

The value of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) will exceed that of cryptocurrencies on Web3 in the next few years, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov said in his keynote presentation at TOKEN2049 in Singapore on Sept. 18. That surge of value flowing from traditional finance (TradFi) will drastically alter the nature of the blockchain industry.

“This is the role I think we should all be preparing for. […] TradFi will be the largest customer of DeFi [decentralized finance],” Nazarov said. Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) may have a crucial role to play in an emerging Internet of Contracts that will link central bank digital currency, asset chains, consortium chains and public blockchains, he added.

The Chainlink oracle network “already powers the majority of DeFi,” having enabled $15.49 trillion in transaction value since 2022, Nazarov said. For TradFi to use blockchain technology, it needs access to a variety of types of data, including live data, “to make TradFi smart contracts function properly.”
