The 35th annual list of global billionaires published by Forbes has once again refreshed the general public’s understanding of cryptocurrency. Taking advantage of the bull market, nine representatives of the encryption industry are listed on the Forbes Global billionaire list. This good news undoubtedly pushes the digital asset industry to the top of the market and also defeats analysts’ prediction that the encryption market is approaching the end of the bull market

According to PlanB, the creator of the S2F model, the current S2FX model and on-chain signals indicate that the crypto market at this stage is far from reaching the top of the bull market. Such news is indeed a great benefit for investors in the industry, but at this stage, most of the projects in the market are mixed, which are dazzling investors and make them unable to start. They can only be wait-and-sees. In addition, the projects of each track are uneven, and there are many fake stock that “hiding” in the bull market, which indirectly led to the real wealth being buried in the bull market.

This article will select representatives of high-quality projects in the crypto market and get a glimpse of the newest gem hunter.

Project 2: Synthetic Asset Representative: Linear Finance

Introduction

Linear Finance is a cross-chain compatible decentralized synthetic asset protocol. It is mainly used to synthesize large commodities, market indicators, foreign exchange and other assets in the traditional financial industry, and put them on the chain for digital currency holders to trade.

Basic Information

Token: LINA

Total: 10 billion

Circulation: 3.09 billion (31%)

Circulation market value: 510 million

Coinmarketcap rank: 218

Project advantage

Linear Finance has cooperation with Huobi, Alameda, and other institutions, which will help it increase its popularity in the blockchain field in a short period. CMS can help LINA to issue off-chain assets on-chain. In addition, the Linear Finance project is located in the synthetic asset field, which is in line with the future trend and has great potential for further growth. The good news of synthetic assets will pump the market.

The Linear Finance project has relatively small private and public offerings, only 9.28% of the funds raised, and it is about to usher in a period of lower unlocking and lower selling pressure.

In terms of the project team, the members have much blockchain entrepreneurial experience and strong backgrounds. Initially listed at Huobi, Linear Finance gets support from Binance Launchpad with Alameda possibly responsible for market making. The current momentum has moved from a rush to a stable stage, and there is a possibility of skyrocketing.

Token situation

Token distribution and release:

Token function

LINA is Linear’s native functional token. Specific use cases are as follows:

1. Governance: LINA token holders will be able to vote on the subject of the agreement, such as a list of synthetic assets, fee collection and distribution, mortgage rates, and other Linear improvement suggestions.

2. Staking: LINA token holders can stake their LINA tokens into the agreement to produce USD, which can be used to purchase synthetic assets on Linear Exchange, as well as other DeFi protocols. The person who created the USD is eligible for rewards and a portion of the transaction fees generated on the Linear Exchange.

Token use

Lock-up: 1.1 billion LINA

Token holders: 32,445 people

Listing: Binance, huobi

Price and turnover rate:

LINA has issued large exchanges twice at around $0.08, which should be a move of opening position, and then issued a large amount of exchanges as soon as listed on Binance at a high price. Some people have already sell and left, but there are still many holders. The price is now around 0.12.

Fundraising situation:

Founder Drey Ng: Hong Kong Institute of Computer Science, Deutsche Bank Researcher, HSBC Bank Researcher, DAO Venture Founder/Liquefy Founder

Founder Kevin Tai: Harvard School of Business Management, Standard Chartered Bank, Credit Sussie, Mirae Asset

Technical Responsible Jincheng Lei: Founder of DueDEX

Community Responsible Dawns Xu: Near Litentry Findora Bifrost MXC Community Responsible

Advisor Adrain Lai: Liquefy CEO

Cooperative agency

Huobi Global, Alameda Research, CMS, world-renowned foreign exchange margin providers, MoonRock, NGC, Hashed, Kenetic.

Risk Analysis

Linear Finance’s team and consultant share (15%) have been unlocked in March of 2021, and 1.875% will be unlocked every quarter. The next unlock date is June 19, 2021, and the price has exceeded the public offering price by more than 30 times. It is hard to tell whether the price is already at a low level, and there may be the next decline. In addition, the compliance problem of off-chain synthetic assets still exists.

Project 3: Privacy Network Representative: HOPR Protocol

Introduction

HOPR is a protocol that allows users to run peer-to-peer private network nodes. It can send data through the network without exposing metadata. Metadata can be described as the object of sending and receiving data, the sending time, the amount, the address, and so on. HOPR Protocol can not only ensure the encryption of the information content but also ensure the privacy of the sender and receiver’s identities, with a high degree of product innovation. From the perspective of product design, Hopr is divided into a payment layer and a network layer. The payment layer is used for node rewards, and the network layer is used for information and node encryption.

Basic Information

Token: HOPR

Circulation: 10 million

Market value in circulation: US$8.7 million

Project Benefits

HOPR Protocol belongs to the privacy field and has a certain degree of innovation in technology. It serves the public chain Layer1 and has a great market prospect. The circulation rate of its token HOPR within 6 months is 13%, that is, namely no unlocking within 6 months. The actual circulation in the exchange is 10 million, and the circulating market value is 8.7 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the price of LBP. From the perspective of circulation rate and market value, the project has great growth prospects.

Token situation

The initial circulation of HOPR in the first 8 months was only 13%, and most of the release came from public offerings. The market liquidation to August is only 13%, giving the project party more time and space to management market value.

The public offering is released in three stages. The average cost of the first stage is 0.05, and the average cost of the second stage is 0.5–0.7.

The third stage is released through liquidity mining, and the overall average cost is 0.6. The current price is 0.87, and the circulating market value is at 100 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the large market, the price is underestimated.

A brief analysis of Math, Lina, and Hopr projects

From the perspective of the blockchain browser, the total circulation of the exchange is 10 million, that is, the circulating market value is 8.7 million U.S. dollars.

Price and turnover rate

HOPR Protocol has a high turnover rate in the initial stage of its launch, and most of the chips are changed hands at 0.85. The current price is 0.87, and HOPR Protocol has been sideways for a month. The price of HOPR is basically maintained at 0.7–0.9. Although the external market is volatile, the price of HOPR itself is very stable. It can be seen that most of the current users are holders. Recently, the project has also been launched on the LBank exchange simultaneously.

Team Introduction

The core member of HOPR protocol team is Sebastian B ü rgel. Sebastian majored in bioelectronics when he was a doctor. He graduated from the Federal Institute of technology in Zurich, Switzerland, with a solid scientific research foundation. He has great influence in Sebastian, Switzerland, and once served as CTO of validity labs in Switzerland. He is the person with the most publicity on the team, and the rest of the team participates as part-timers.

Risk Analysis

The team structure of HORP Protocol is very single, which can only rely on its founder. The organization is scattered and lacks the basic organizational structure to become a big project. For privacy technology projects, the team is the key to the success of the project. Therefore, from the perspective of current project organization structure, operation, market, and ecology, the future of the project is unclear, unable to expand effectively, lack of operation methodology, slow ecological expansion, especially the cooperation with public chain projects; compared with the layer0 ecology, there is big gap.

The above analysis comes from the daily notes of project analysis of the secondary investment and research team of LBank. For sharing only, not financial advice.
