André Dragosch, head of European research at Bitwise, said in a post: "The illiquid supply of bitcoin has reached an all-time high, while exchange balances have reached a multi-year low. Nearly 75% of the supply is considered illiquid, with less than 14% remaining on exchanges. This means that supply scarcity in Bitcoin continues to increase. "

What's more, this does not include the purchase demand of other key buyers, such as ETFs, governments, trading platforms, and DeFi. The supply shortage of BTC is more serious than most people realize.
The decentralized finance project Mpeppe (also known as MPEPPE or MPEPE) has been accused of orchestrating a false pre-sale in which several investors allegedly paid fees but did not receive tokens. The project claims that the funds will be used to build the casino, collect non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for player cards, and the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol associated with the token.

On August 13, José Maria Macedo, a partner at Delphi Ventures, wrote on the X platform that Ethena Labs' imitation project will face great challenges.

Currently about 50% of USDe is pledged, and sUSDe pledgers receive twice the income of manual basis transactions. To be competitive, new entrants must earn more than twice the basis return plus the ENA implied retur...
