Blockchain data indications have revealed that 1inch Investment Fund, the investment arm of 1inch Network, recently acquired acquired a substantial amount of Ether (ETH) on itscrypto wallet. The purchase, which amounts to 6,088 ETH bought at a price of $1,655 each, translates to an investment exceeding $10 million at the time of purchase. Blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain first highlighted this large transaction, drawing attention to the fund's continued interest in the crypto market. 1inch Investment Fund wallet spent $10M to buy 6,088 $ETH at $1,655 6 hrs ago.The wallet bought a total of 17K $ETH($26.8M) at an average price of $1,569 on Jan 13, Feb 9 and Mar 14.Then sold 11K $ETH($21M) at $1,906 on July 5, making ~$3.7M.https://t.co/QhEm3M9Mm7 pic.twitter.com/JUxzA8hFom — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) August 28, 2023 The investment comes on the heels of a profitable period for the 1inch-affiliated wallet. Earlier this year, the wallet had made sizable investments inETH, buying around 17,000 ETH at an average price of $1,569 across three different instances—January 13, February 9, and March 14. The cumulative spend for these earlier investments was approximately $26.8 million. In July, the fund took advantage of favorable market conditions and sold off 11,000 ETH when the cryptocurrency's price peaked at $1,906. This sale resulted in a revenue of roughly $21 million, thereby fetching a profit of around $3.7 million from its Ether holdings alone. According to blockchain data, this calculated approach to buying low and selling high has paid off well for the fund. The acquisition and sale pattern indicates a strategic investment approach that appears to rely on dollar-cost averaging (DCA) and taking profits when market conditions are optimal. It also showcases the fund's risk diversification tactics, as the wallet reportedly holds a broad range of digital assets currently valued at around $80 million. Such portfolio diversification is often seen as a prudent strategy in the volatile cryptocurrency markets. The fund's recent actions raise pertinent questions about its future investment orientation and whether it will continue to realize profits through similarly strategic engagements in the cryptlo markets. This acquisition is not merely a one-off purchase but also offers broader insights into market behavior and sentiment. Given that Ethereum is one of the main blockchains and cryptocurrencies that often influences and reflects market dynamics, such large-scale buying activity suggests a level of confidence in the digital asset’s future performance.

dYdX founder Antonio Juliano has suggested that the crypto space should “give up” on the US markets for the next five to ten years and focus on other markets. Juliano argued that crypto projects could scale faster by not serving the US markets because they would not have to deal with a hostile regulatory climate. Prioritize Markets Outside The US In a thread posted on X on the 25th of August, Juliano put forward his argument that builders in the crypto space must look to prioritizing markets and customers outside of the United States. He added that doing so will ensure the project’s growth, given that developers will face fewer regulatory hurdles and will be able to focus on user adoption and platform growth. Juliano primarily addressed startup projects rather than fully established players and emphasized that they could scale faster overseas in friendlier markets. “Crypto builders should just give up serving US customers for now and try to re-enter in 5-10 years. It’s not really worth the hassle/compromises. Most of the market is overseas anyway. Innovate there, find PMF [product market fit], then come back with more leverage. The only thing that matters for all of us is crypto finding 10x stronger product market fit.” He further added, “In the grand scheme of things, barely anyone uses or cares about crypto today. I personally don’t care about any outcome except growing crypto 100x+ long term.” Lack Of Clear Rules A Major Concern Many in the crypto space have stated that the United States needs more clarity when it comes to rules and regulations around crypto. A key example of this need for more clarity is the gray area surrounding the jurisdiction of the United States Securities Exchange (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over the crypto space. The United States government has continued to drag its heels on crypto regulations, and the dYdX founder has suggested that the crypto space needs to grow further in order to have greater sway over US policy. Juliano argued that it makes more sense for startups and builders to focus on finding product market fits overseas before returning to the US with the added leverage of large user bases. “This does not mean crypto US policy work is not important. It absolutely is, as it takes a really long time (must be ready for the re-entry), and much of the world will follow the US’s lead. Crypto not yet having world-scale usage/product market fit means we don’t yet have much influence in policy. We need to have products with massive usage where users (voters) say, ‘wait, I need this.’” A Different Perspective The CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, responded to the post and offered a different perspective to the argument. Armstrong struck a much more optimistic note, stating that the situation would get better in due time. “I see your point - but I think it will be better in a much shorter time. Probably by next year, if I had to guess. The US always gets it right after exhausting every other option. It will heal from these wounds, no matter how hard a small group of people try to stop progress.” Antonio responded with similar optimism but highlighted in his reply that the situation is different for fully scaled businesses and startups. “I’m optimistic! And we’re helping our small part with policy, too. I just think it’s different for startups vs. scaled businesses. If you haven’t yet found a strong product market fit, the tradeoff to move faster & more freely seems worth the somewhat smaller market size.” Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy also chimed in, agreeing with Juliano’s view, stating things would get better in 2-3 years, or never if not. Lack Of Regulatory Clarity Hurting US The ambiguity regarding regulations only hurts the US markets as big crypto firms look at other markets with regulatory clarity. Coinbase has made several efforts to influence crypto policy in the US. However, the firm is also expanding its global footprint, establishing operations in Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy. Additionally, it is also considering a permanent move to the UK or Dubai. Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is also attempting to be regulated in the UK. This comes despite the UK regulator issuing a ban on the exchange. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

MakerDAO, a decentralized finance (DeFi) stalwart, is facing heightened scrutiny after the introduction of its new platform, Spark Protocol. The controversy arises from Spark Protocol's terms of service, which actively prevent users from accessing the platform via virtual private networks (VPNs). By limiting VPN access, it appears MakerDAO is attempting to restrict U.S. users from the platform, causing a ripple effect on global user rights and igniting concerns over privacy in the DeFi sector. The decision to restrict VPN access follows closely on the heels of Rune Christensen, MakerDAO's founder, announcing the potential for DAI stablecoin holders to earn up to 8% returns via the DAI Savings Rate (DSR) on Spark Protocol. The appeal of these high yields comes from a system adjustment: when DSR adoption is sparse, the rate increases to attract users. Despite only 9% of DAI holders currently participating in DSR, the platform's mechanism automatically optimizes rates based on user engagement. Despite these prospective states, behind this innovative yield mechanism lies a broader issue. The DeFi space, characterized by its decentralized ethos and user autonomy, is now confronting questions about the balance between regulatory compliance and individual privacy rights. Chris Blec, a DeFi analyst, voiced strong concerns over Spark Protocol's VPN restrictions. Blec's stance is that MakerDAO's decision could compromise global user privacy, potentially prioritizing profit motives over decentralized principles. This contention around user rights and access isn't isolated. Over the past year, DAI's market trajectory experienced turbulence. Its market cap plummeted by 43%, from $7B to $4B, after a destabilizing event in March when both DAI and USDC stablecoins momentarily dropped below their usual peg. Concerns arose about the solvency of USDC's banking partners, and since DAI's collateral heavily comprised USDC, both tokens suffered. MakerDAO's strategy, introducing high DSR yields through Spark Protocol, aims to bolster its position in the volatile stablecoin ecosystem. On the contrary, by blocking VPN access, MakerDAO has placed itself in the crosshairs of a larger debate around the intersection of regulatory compliance, decentralized operations, and user rights in the crypto domain. While it remains that there is a need to evaluate the implications of MakerDAO's recent decisions, the line between user privacy and platform governance is set to be a defining conversation in the industry's DeFi sector.
