According to an article published on the X platform by crypto KOL @pgreyy, based on DefiLlama funding data, a total of 73 projects raised over $10 million in the past three months. The list shows a significant decrease in venture capital interest in L1 public chains, with only Tempo, an L1 payment public chain, making the list. VCs are primarily focusing on the following five areas: - Prediction markets - Payment systems (+ banking) - RWA - Infrastructure linked to ordinary users or RWA - DeFi. Furthermore, only two AI-related companies met the $10 million funding requirement in the past three months; excluding the funding period, this number is nine.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that five prominent organizations—Kalshi, Crypto.com, Robinhood, Coinbase, and Underdog—have jointly announced the formation of the Coalition for Prediction Markets (CPM).

According to three sources, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is likely to maintain its commitment to continue raising interest rates next week, but will emphasize that the pace of further rate hikes will depend on the economy's response to each increase. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda has essentially announced a December rate hike ahead of schedule, and the market has almost fully priced in the possibility of raising the rate from 0.5% to 0.75% in December. Market focus has shifted to the extent to which the BOJ can raise rates to a neutral level. Sources say that while the central bank may internally update its estimate of the policy rate's distance from what is considered neutral, it will not use this estimate as the primary communication tool for future rate hike paths due to the difficulty in making precise predictions. Instead, the sources indicate that the BOJ will explain that future rate hike decisions will be based on considerations of how past rate hikes have affected bank lending, corporate financing conditions, and other economic activity. One source stated, "Japan's real interest rates are very low, which allows the BOJ to continue raising rates in several phases," a view echoed by two other sources. (Jinshi)
