Sui Tops $300M in TVL, Passes Bitcoin and Joins Upper Echelon of DeFi Protocols

Sui

2000% increase in TVL and superior technology are causing builders to choose Sui, most recently, top lending protocol, Solend. Sui, a leading Layer 1 blockchain created by the team that led Meta’s Diem stablecoin project, has surged past $300M in Total Value Locked (TVL) continuing to climb the ranks of DefiLlama’s leaderboard. This sudden milestone underscores the ecosystem’s rapid ascent and further solidifies Sui’s position as a leader in the DeFi space, surpassing Bitcoin to make it the 13th-largest blockchain in terms of TVL. This achievement marks a more than 2000% increase in TVL since August. "$300 million in TVL is a significant milestone—one in a string of achievements the Sui ecosystem has reached only months since mainnet launch,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. "As market sentiment strengthens and focus turns to the fundamentals of the technology, it is extremely gratifying to see the work of the Sui community bear fruit and Sui’s ecosystem growth leading the industry forward.” Besides reaching this important TVL result so soon after launching its mainnet, other recent milestones achieved by Sui include surpassing $100 million in bridged USDC, handling the most transactions in a single day by any blockchain, and achieving a demonstrated TPS of 297,000 transactions per second all without any disruption of the network or a spike in fees—clearly demonstrating the chain’s ability to scale. The protocols contributing to Sui’s DeFi TVL are led by the Decentralized Exchange (DEX) Cetus with $62M locked in, followed by Navi Protocol ($60M, up 210% over the last 30 days), Scallop Lend ($54M), DeepBook ($33M), and FlowX Finance ($31M). During the past few months, the Sui ecosystem has welcomed many new projects building on its blockchain. Solend—a leading lending protocol on Solana—just announced its intention to expand to Sui as its first alternative ecosystem with its upcoming Suilend, while Bluefin, a leading derivatives trading protocol that began on Arbitrum, recently shuttered its Arbitrum implementation to devote the entirety of its resources to leveraging the uniquely performant Sui platform. Sui has also achieved some remarkable technology and infrastructure breakthroughs. After the September launch of zkLogin—which allows users to create and access Web3 wallets by simply using web2 social credentials like Google and FaceBook—the recent launch of zkSend represented a pioneering effort to make Web3 transactions as easy as sending an email. Thanks to its object-centric model and powerful infrastructure, Sui’s unparalleled potential for mass adoption arises from its simplicity for developers, scalability, and rapid transaction processing for broader use cases.

Consumer Edge Data Reveals Most Verticals Achieved Positive Global Growth in H2 2023

Consumer Edge

Data from Consumer Edge (CE), a provider of global consumer data-driven insights, uncovers winners and losers across the globe in H2 2023. The report reveals which key industries experienced gains across the US, UK and EU. Notably, the most discretionary categories such as luxury and department stores were absent from the list. Online retailers, pet products/services, discount/club stores, ground transportation, health products/services grocery and limited-service restaurants were the only industries that grew sales across all geographies. “In reviewing our global spending data, the CE Insight Center uncovers winners and losers among key industries during the second half of 2023,” said Michael Gunther, Vice President and Head of Insights at Consumer Edge. “These takeaways highlight shifts in consumer behavior and can help companies develop specific themes and targets for 2024.” Online retailers stood out on the upside, as growth accelerated into H2 following a solid performance in the beginning of the year. Luxury: Consumer spending on luxury items declined across all three geographies. As inflation continues to squeeze real incomes and aspirational shoppers pull back on particularly pricey items, luxury became the worst performer out of all the industries in the US and UK and the second worst in the EU (second only to travel). This decreased appetite for direct-to-consumer luxury spilled over into the full-price department store space across the globe. Apparel, Accessories and Footwear posted mixed results, as strength in fast fashion offset softness in the other categories. Consumer spending at fast fashion brands grew in the US, UK and EU, as the challenging macroeconomic environment and strained budgets generated increased interest in more affordable items. Consumer spend growth was negative globally for the higher-ticket women’s apparel/accessories sub-industry. Restaurant spending growth decelerated from H1 to H2, although both full-service and limited-service ended 2023 on a positive note. The average check increased compared to 2022 as food and labor inflation persists. Consumers visited limited-service restaurants more in 2023 than in 2022, but trips declined for their full-service peers, reflecting an environment of strained consumer budgets and trade-down behavior. Home and Garden sales in the US declined in H2 2023 as high mortgage rates and limited supply continued to pressure housing market activity. Sales increased modestly in the UK and EU, although growth softened versus H1 2023, consistent with many other areas of the consumer economy. “Brands can identify impactful shifts in consumer behavior and new emerging trends by reviewing transaction data,” Gunther said. “By leveraging this data, companies can make more informed data-backed business decisions in the year ahead.” Insights Methodology The Consumer Edge Insight Center (CEIC) provides timely insight into global spending trends for consumer industries and individual brands built from transaction data across the US, UK and Continental Europe. About Consumer Edge Consumer Edge (CE) provides data-driven insights focused on the global consumer. Founded in 2009 by CEO Bill Pecoriello, CE is a data and insights as a service (IaaS) company delivering unparalleled views into global consumer spending behavior coupled with deep industry knowledge and analytical expertise.

Casino777 Pledges Added Focus on Responsible Gambling

impulsQ

The management of Casino de Spa, a famed gambling venue in the picturesque Ardennes region, runs the Casino777 online brand. That is a renowned Internet gaming operator with sites active in the Belgian, Dutch, Swiss, and Spanish markets. Known for its collection of premium games from various top-end studios, the Spanish Casino777 website now seeks to win over game-of-chance enthusiasts via its new-found dedication to robust user protection. The premium Casino777.es hub has recently extended its already favorable reputation for supplying a super-safe environment for Spanish gaming lovers. Its team has now publicly disclosed its novel and deep commitment to informing players about the potential dangers of gambling, hoping to stop them from ever experiencing these repercussions. The brand recognizes that playing slots, roulette, and blackjack is a source of fun for most. Yet, it knows that a small percentage of the population may face addiction issues when enjoying these hobbies. If that occurs, that can influence people's financial, personal, and family well-being. To assist Casino777 gamblers in avoiding these pitfalls, the brand suggests users adhere to their distinct platform guidelines. This Spanish online casino gives extra aid to users to spot when they are going overboard through the use of the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) and NODS questionnaires. The first (SOGS) consists of thirteen questions that aim to sport pathological betting behavior, and the latter questionnaire (NODS), based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, does the same via criteria set by the American Psychiatric Association. Self-exclusion and self-restriction are also live at Casino777.es. These settings include activating self-imposed bans, placing deposit limits, and further control tools. The latter are designed for user protection and can get adjusted to individual requirements. For any questions about these, any Spanish gambler thinking of using Casino777.es from Spain can reach the platform’s staff using their hotline, whose number is +34 931 222 841. Casino777 states that gamblers’ well-being is a top priority, advising everyone to never forget to set limits and forego playing when under the influence of stimulants. The site outright proclaims that users must prioritize maintaining healthy relationships with family and friends over excessive gaming. Hence, their website features a self-assessment through Play Well and additional tests, which become available if needed. Spain’s Post-2020 Devotion to Responsible Gambling In 2020, on the heels of the UKGC launching its mandatory self-exclusion scheme, GamStop, run by the National Online Self Exclusion Scheme Limited non-for-profit organization, representatives of Spain's autonomous communities, including Ceuta and Melilla, agreed to integrate their individual self-exclusion programs. The goal of the birth of these was to enhance coordinated player protection efforts at local and national levels in Spain. The landmark decision got reached at a meeting chaired by Minister of Consumer Affairs Alberto Garzón at the National Gambling Policy Council. Even with Catalonia opposing the measure and the Basque and Valencian communities abstaining from the vote, it still received majority approval. Self-exclusion programs are now becoming the norm in regulated European markets. In Germany, gamblers can choose to get excluded from online betting activities using the Oasis scheme. Swedes can do so through Spelpaus, and Dutch players can activate a self-imposed ban on Internet betting using the CRUKS, the Centraal Register Uitsluiting Kansspelen. In 2020, Spanish representatives collaborated to develop the regulatory framework required for an integrated self-exclusion program.

Bitget Blockchain4Her Project Empowers Women With $10 Million Commitment to Promote Gender Diversity in Web3

Bitget1

Bitget, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has today unveiled the Blockchain4Her initiative aimed at promoting gender diversity and inclusivity in the blockchain industry, with a $10 Million commitment. The announcement was made at the Web3 Hub Davos event hosted by CV Labs, during the World Economic Forum 2024, where Bitget showcased its commitment to fostering female entrepreneurship and recognizing women’s achievements in the blockchain and Web3 space. Despite the industry's progress and increasing inclusivity, significant gender bias persists. A recent study conducted by Bitget revealed limited gender diversity in the blockchain funding market, indicating that female-led blockchain startups secured only 6% of the total funding. In a forward-thinking and global blockchain-based economy, the prevalence of gender bias significantly restricting opportunities is an unacceptable issue. Initiatives like Blockchain4Her aim to address this disparity. By spotlighting the challenges faced by female-led startups, Bitget aims to raise awareness and foster collective efforts toward creating a more inclusive funding landscape. Key Initiatives of Blockchain4Her: Female Entrepreneur Incubation Programs and Pitch Competitions: As part of the Blockchain4Her initiative, Bitget will launch incubation programs specifically tailored for female entrepreneurs. These programs will provide comprehensive support, mentorship, and resources, empowering women to navigate and succeed in the blockchain industry. Additionally, Blockchain4Her will host pitch competitions for female-founded startups, offering them a platform to showcase their innovations and secure potential investments. Women in Blockchain Summit & Awards: Blockchain4Her will feature an exclusive experience called Women in Blockchain Summit & Awards, serving as a platform to celebrate and recognize the outstanding achievements of women in the blockchain space. The summit aims to create networking opportunities for female professionals, fostering collaboration and community building. Through insightful discussions and recognition events, Bitget endeavors to inspire more women to actively participate and grow their careers in the blockchain industry. Ambassador program Bitget will also invite industry leaders to join as ambassadors for the Blockchain4Her program, supporting gender diversity in blockchain. Ambassadors will advocate, engage, and drive positive changes, fostering an inclusive environment. Bitget's Blockchain4Her initiative builds on the success of the Blockchain4Youth project and the Bitget Builders Program. Blockchain4Youth, also with an investment commitment of $10 million over the next five years, has played a crucial role in inspiring the younger generation to embrace blockchain technology. Bitget's efforts in providing equitable opportunities and promoting financial inclusivity are at the core of these initiatives. Gracy Chen, Managing Director of Bitget, shared her excitement about the initiative: "In an industry that is evolving rapidly, diversity and inclusion are vital for sustainable growth. Blockchain4Her reflects our dedication to bridging the gender gap in the blockchain industry. Through incubation programs, pitch competitions, and recognition events, we aim to empower women to take on leadership roles in the Web3 and blockchain space. This initiative aligns with our broader vision of creating a more equitable and inclusive future through the power of blockchain."
