Latest Weekly Industry Highlights

Grayscale Ethereum ETF has introduced a new approach—attracting funds by paying ETH staking rewards to investors. However, the trick is that they sell Ethereum into stablecoins before distributing the rewards. This model also reflects traditional financial institutions' pragmatic approach to crypto asset management.

Prediction markets are also expanding their boundaries. Polymarket announced a partnership with Parcl to launch real estate prediction trading, allowing users to bet on housing price trends in major cities. This represents an extension of prediction market applications from traditional fields like politics and sports to real asset price discovery.

In the financing sector, the privacy computing project Zama, which raised $130 million, has started OG NFT claims. These genesis NFTs typically serve as proof of rights for early community members.

Additionally, a leading exchange is pushing forward a new round of activities for its Launchpad ecosystem, continuously enriching the platform's product matrix.

Grayscale, I just have to laugh at this trick, selling it as a stablecoin to pay dividends? Still the same old routine. Polymarket is doing real estate predictions? Betting on city housing prices going up or down, this gameplay is indeed fresh. OG NFTs are back again, whether Zama will cut or not, let's wait and see. Launchpad is doing another round, does anyone still not feel numb? Grayscale really knows how to play, and users really dare to trust. Is the prediction market moving towards real assets, is this a trend indicator or an IQ tax? Raising 130 million and giving away NFTs, how badly do they need money? Top exchanges are again exploiting users, how long can this round last?

Gray's routine is really seasoned—selling it as a stablecoin and then distributing dividends? Alright, anyway, traditional institutions just have this temperament.

actually, let me break this down for you—grayscale's basically just converting eth to stablecoins then paying you back in... stablecoins? if you examine the data on their previous etf structures, this isn't exactly novel governance precedent, tbh

Grayscale's move is really clever—selling stablecoins and then distributing dividends. The old foxes in traditional finance are truly different once they make a move. Polymarket is doing real estate predictions now? So now even house prices can be bet on. It feels like everything is destined to be tokenized, haha. Zama's OG NFT is back to harvest the chives. How many times have we heard that early community rights tokens are involved? What new tricks is the exchange's Launchpad up to? Anyway, it's just about making a profit. Grayscale's approach is so cunning—distributing dividends in stablecoins. How do users know the true value of ETH? Real estate prediction markets? On the surface, it's price discovery; in reality, it's just an upgraded casino. A project with 130 million in funding launching NFT claims—this pace is good. The chives should be ready to pay up. The combination of Polymarket and real estate—something feels off. Zama's latest OG NFT move, once again using the same story about genesis rights.

This trick with grayscale is only good for fooling small investors. Selling into stablecoins and then distributing dividends? Basically, it's just a variation that eats up transaction fees.

Grayscale's move is really clever—selling as stablecoins to distribute yields. Do they even have the nerve to call it staking income? Traditional finance operates like this. You can even bet on housing prices. Polymarket is truly genius—I bet Beijing's housing prices will fall. Zama's OG NFT is here, and those who got in early are about to take off.

Grayscale's operation of selling ETH for stablecoins and then distributing dividends is indeed a bit "smart." The traditional finance approach is still played quite skillfully. Housing price prediction markets? They seem more exciting than political betting pools. Will someone really go all-in on a specific city's price increase? Zama's OG NFT is about to open for claiming. It's another round of the game where whoever grabs it profits.

Grayscale's move, to put it simply, is to cash out ETH and then distribute dividends, clearly cutting profits, with the integrity of traditional finance unchanged. I need to support Zama's OG NFT; a project with 1.3 billion in funding can't be that bad. I'll double-check the wallet address later. The real estate prediction market is new, but it's much less stable than political markets, so the risk is high, brother. Launchpad is back to cut the leeks again, using the old tricks of engagement + social proof. I've already avoided three pitfalls. The real airdrops still require personal effort to uncover; don't be fooled by these tricks. Gas fees are not worth it.

Gray's trick is really clever—first selling as stablecoins and then distributing dividends. There are many such sneaky maneuvers.
