0/ NFT interest at new highs, while volume remains stagnant.

Today’s Delphi Daily, we cover a wide range of topics from @opensea’s volume to $BTC ’s MVRV giving hope.

Plus, all of the recent stars joining the @boredapeYC

For more 🧵👇
1/ Worldwide Google searches for “NFT” hit new highs in November even as @OpenSea’s volumes remain relatively stagnant.

The continued rise in search interest suggests NFTs are far from dead and may even be an early indication that another wave of activity is on the horizon.
2/ Profile Pictures (PFP) NFTs have soared the past week as BAYC gained traction from some big stars purchasing and promoting their new apes.

@BoredApeYC (BAYC) was the highlight in the past week as @JimmyFallon, @PostMalone and NBA all-star @RubyGobert27 showed off their apes.
3/ MVRV, which measures the ratio between $BTC’s market cap and realized cap, is a far cry from prior highs, including BTC’s local price top in late Q1 early Q2 2021.

Prior BTC cycle tops saw much higher peak MVRV levels, which indicates BTC still has more room to run.
4/ The dollar has been rallying versus most major currencies since June’s FOMC meeting, hitting a 16-month high on Tuesday.

The Citi U.S. Economic Surprise Index is trending higher after spending nearly four months in negative territory.
5/ Potentially the First On-Chain Merger?

0/ Defi competition has been heating up.

In today’s Delphi Daily, we examined DEX aggregator wars, the fee race to the bottom, and DeFi revenue.

For more🧵👇 Image
1/ In Sept. 2020, @MetaMask announced its native swapping feature that gets quotes from multiple DEX aggregators.

Metamask levies a 0.875% fee on each swap which resulted in over $200M in revenue over the last 11 months. Image
2/ Let’s compare @MetaMask’s revenue to that of two of the top DEXes on Ethereum: @SushiSwap and @CurveFinance. Sushiswap has made just under $70M YTD, while Curve sits around $12M.

Now consider this: Metamask’s customer acquisition cost (CAC) is a big, fat zero. Image

0/ As funding resets, where to next?

In today’s Delphi Daily, we analyzed recent price retracements, @avalancheavax’s momentum, and @MetaMask’s usage.

For a deeper dive 🧵👇 Image
1/ $BTC had a great run up through the first half of Nov, setting a new high near $69,000, but two major retracements of ~10% in the past week alone has investors and traders back on edge.

Leveraged traders were victims of liquidations as prices dropped and markets deleveraged. Image
2/ As euphoria hit amid new ATHs for $BTC and $ETH, funding rates ranged upward as traders’ appetite for leverage soared.

However, as markets retraced, funding rates reset back near neutral levels. Image

0/ In honor of #NYCNFT, we explored some recent NFT data.

In today’s Delphi Daily, we analyzed NFT volume, number of new buyers, and high end sales.

We also compared the market caps of $SHIB and $DOGE.

For a deeper dive 🧵👇 Image
1/ NFT daily sales volumes have been on a downtrend since early September.

Despite that, the number of unique NFT buyers has slowly trended upward, with a recent spike at the end of October. Image
2/ Since late May, ETH and Ronin NFTs have dwarfed other chains in terms of NFT sales volume.

@WAX_io NFTs seem to be worth paying attention to as they have seen sales volumes pick up significantly since the beginning of October. Image

0/ DOGE and SHIB faceoff in the battle of the dog tokens.

In today’s Delphi Daily, we analyzed the correlation of DOGE and SHIB, L2 activity has slowed down, and gas prices have been soaring.

For a deeper dive 🧵👇
1/ Most of the crypto market was sidelined by liquidations, while dog coin connoisseurs showed up in a big way.

SHIB recorded a whopping $23B in volume on the top two spot exchanges yesterday.
2/ As the two dog coins faced off today, DOGE bounced upward while SHIB wound up remaining relatively flat.

While coins in a category tend to be highly correlated, we’re seeing the opposite with DOGE and SHIB.

Delphi has grown and changed as an organization a lot this past year, now with a team of 69

We're proud to release a new site that better reflects who we are and what we're currently focused on! 🧵👇
delphidigital.io/?join
At its heart, we believe Delphi is a DAO

We're a family of independent projects collaborating with a shared set of values, vision, people and resources united under the Delphi brand

Our team of 69 are broken out as follows:
🔬Research 20
🧪Labs 21

Before we give an update on each arm, the most important part of today's launch is the new platform we’ve been building behind our 3.0 Portal

Here's a sneak peak, but stay tuned for constant updates and new tools hitting the portal in the coming weeks!
