Australian Senator Says DeFi Is Here To Stay, And Australia Must Not Be Left Behind

DAO To Make Jodorowsky’s Dune Manuscript Public: Member Won $3M Bid
A group called DuneDAO bid for a copy of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Dune manuscript at a Christie’s auction. They hoped for $500,000 in contributions and actually hit $700,000. Since distribution rights are not granted with the purchase, they must investigate legal ways to make it accessible. “The Dune Bible” sold for $3,160,062 at auction by Christie’s. The auctioneer claims the winning bid was $2,4M plus VAT. Members of DuneDAO raised their target to $4,200,000 so they can obtain a copy.
Cardano Founder Reiterates Long-Term Purpose Amid Sell-Off Panic
Cardano (ADA) has been experiencing struggling prices since it hit its all-time high above $3 back at the start of September. Despite some important announcements and strides on the part of the project, the token has not seen much recovery, leading to panic among its holders. The founder of Cardano, Alex Hoskinson, has called for the community to stop looking at price and instead focus on impact. Hoskinson sees Cardano as being “the biggest preserver of human rights the world has seen”. He also believes Cardano could be part of many nation-states in the future.
200k Ethereum Flows Into Exchanges, More Downside Ahead?
More than 200k ETH entered exchange wallets yesterday. At the current rate, this amount is worth about $839 million. The inflow seen yesterday can cause a decline in the price of crypto. However, in the long term, signs for the coin are still bullish.
Bitcoin Whale Wallet Containing 1,299 BTC Activates After Eight Years
A whale wallet has been reactivated after almost a decade of dormancy. These whale wallets usually carry tens of millions to hundreds of millions of BTC by the time the owners of the wallet reactivate them. Bitcoins like these were acquired at very low prices but the market uptrend in the past couple of years has turned what were initially thousands of dollars into millions. With $77 million in tow, there have been speculations as to whether the owner of the whale wallet would sell their bitcoin after moving it out. The coins were moved to another private wallet, not an exchange, which means that the holder was not sending off the coins to be sold directly. However, it is important to look at the impact such a sale could have on the market.
How Litentry’s Innovative Crowdloan Program Gives DOT Holders A Chance To Maximize Their Rewards
Polkadot and its unique approach to governance and interoperability are quickly becoming the hub for the projects that could usher the future of the industry.

Meet Web3.0: The New Internet, Blockchain Edition?
Web3 (also known as Web 3.0) is the idea of a version of the Internet that is decentralized and based on public blockchains. The concept has gained immense popularity in 2020 and 2021, with interest from cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investments from high-profile technologists and companies. Web 3.0 will likely be at least somewhat decentralized, built upon a system known as the blockchain. Imagine it as bookkeeping where many computers host data that are searchable by anyone. Instead of platforms, there will be DAOs, where people are given “tokens” for participating.
