0/ Friday saw the most on-chain liquidations ever, hitting a record $200M.

In today’s Delphi Daily, we explore the rash of liquidations, temp check the current market signals, and examine @FantomFDN’s climbing TVL.

For more 🧵👇
1/ As a major correction sent ETH falling from $3.2k to $2.5k in the past week, on-chain liquidations surged as positions started to hit their liquidation point.

Last Friday, money markets on ETH experienced their largest liquidation event to date, amounting to over $200m.
2/ @MakerDAO was responsible for more than 50% of liquidations stated above.

Maker stands to profit from all the liquidation events happening recently.

MakerDAO charges a liquidation penalty to the vault owners if the value of their collateral reaches its liquidation price.
3/ Open interest moved down as the markets turned bearish from hints of impending rate hikes.

BTC and ETH futures OI have contracted by $6B and $3.1B, respectively, since their peaks in November.

All eyes will be on the upcoming Jan FOMC happening on January 25th and 26th.
4/ @FantomFDN started the year at the 8th spot in TVL rankings by chain.

Since then, it has climbed up to the 3rd spot, with the flippening of BSC occurring earlier today.

0/ Want a glimpse into the galaxy?

In today’s Delphi Daily, we examined Cosmo’s developing ecosystem.

We analyzed interaction in the ecosystem, $ATOM staking, @osmosiszone’s utilization, and @SecretNetwork’s upward trends.

For more 🧵👇 Image
1/ We continue to observe increased traction and user interaction on Cosmos as more apps join the ecosystem.

Daily transactions pertaining to ATOM are up from 26k to 80k.

Cosmos has been the talk of the town lately with the impending EVMOS launch this month driving attention. Image
2/ $ATOM staking is similar to $LUNA staking, where users delegate their tokens to a validator.

ATOM staking now yields around 13% APR, which is on the higher end when compared to other Proof-of-Stake options. Image

0/ Is BTC correlated with S&P 500?

In todays Delphi Daily, we examine a correlation between $BTC and $SPX, @POKTnetwork gaining attention, @GMX_io’s increase in trading volume, and @MEVprotection ’s big month.

For more 🧵👇
1/ Over the past month, the correlation between $BTC and $SPX has increased, as both risk assets were similarly affected by hawkish Fed comments

BTC has a historically low correlation with equity markets. However, since 2020, we have seen traditional players enter crypto markets
2/ @POKTnetwork has been gaining attention lately as it has been adopting and providing RPC access to multiple chains.

Pocket Network enables another layer of decentralization through its multi-chain relay protocol, removing reliance on centralized nodes and cloud services.

0/ We couldn't be more excited to announce that we, @Delphi_Digital, are co-leading Fan Controlled Sports Entertainment’s @fcflio Series A with @Animocabrands.

This is a wild one so buckle up.
1/ FCSE’s first product is Fan Controlled Football - a fan-controlled sports league in which fans call the plays.

Yes, with real players and real fans.

Behind the insanity lies a vision that has the potential to entirely reshape entertainment and fan experience as we know it.
2/ It's best to view FCSE as an entertainment company and not a sports league.

An entertainment company acutely curated for Web 3.0 with a video-game-like sports experience as its core product.

0/ Can OpenSea be overthrown?

In today’s Delphi Daily, we analyze the launch of @lookrareNFT, the top performers of the past month, short term holder SOPR, and TVL on the Metis Andromeda.

For more 🧵👇
1/ @LooksRareNFT launched yesterday with a surprise airdrop to users who traded at least 3 ETH in volume on @OpenSea.

Day 1 of LooksRare’s activity shows that its volume was comparable to OpenSea during certain hours of the day, with two peaks of $4.5M hourly volume.
2/ $NEAR and $ATOM have been the top performers in the past month amidst a gloomy market.

Other L1 projects either stayed flat or had a -20% to -40% drawdown since the 1st of December 2021.
