1. Grayscale: Cryptocurrency Industry Trends and Potential Tokens in Q4 2024
The Crypto Industry Framework is designed to be updated dynamically with the evolving digital asset markets and is rebalanced at the end of each quarter. The most recent quarterly rebalancing process concluded on September 20. Since the beginning of the year, the index rebalancing process has resulted in significant changes in the index composition, reflecting new exchange listings, changes in asset liquidity, and market performance. This year's updates to the Crypto Industry Index highlighted emerging themes in the digital asset industry, including the rise of decentralized AI platforms (such as TAO), efforts to tokenize traditional assets (such as ONDO, OM, and GFI), and the popularity of memecoins (such as PEPE, WIF, FLOKI, and BONK).

3. CZ returns: From entrepreneur to industry mentor, crypto guardian completes transformation
On September 28, Beijing time, Binance founder and former CEO CZ posted "GM" on Twitter, officially announcing his return. This is two days earlier than the original date of release. Binance officials also immediately stated that they are very happy that CZ will be able to go home and reunite with his family. Since CZ was imprisoned on May 1 this year, it can be said that Binance and the entire crypto industry are temporarily lacking an evangelist and leader. But today, four months later, CZ has returned, but at this time he has already completed the transformation of his identity and is about to start a new chapter in his life. Click to read
4. Is Aleo doomed to fail?
Aleo, once regarded as a rising star in the blockchain privacy computing track, is experiencing a rapid decline from its heyday to obscurity. Whether it is the top financing background, the star team, or the high-profile technological innovation, none of them has prevented the Aleo coin price from plummeting, which seems to be another signal that "the hottest ones will die."

5.How many paths does Bitcoin have in the future?
Mircea Popescu is a mostly forgotten figure in the field, but he was an early and highly influential cultural figure who faded from public view and eventually "accidentally" drowned off the coast of Costa Rica. He was a pretty crazy and eccentric guy, but he left a lasting impact on the field. I think he was essentially the godfather of what people think of today as "toxic extremism," although compared to people who claim that label today, he makes them look like overly sensitive and whiny children.
