📣 Curious about the most groundbreaking news in #crypto? We're launching a new weekly series to cover what matters to the industry! Welcome to #LastWeekInCrypto 🗞 

Last week, we saw a lot of market-impacting events in crypto. Here are the top stories; feel free to leave your comments below 👇 

Trump Announces Plans for US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve
Former President of the USA, Donald Trump, who spoke at Bitcoin 2024 on the campaign trail, suggested that he would create a U. S. strategic Bitcoin reserve if elected. He vowed to keep all the Bitcoin presently owned or purchased by the U. S. government, which is roughly $14 billion, mainly from the DOJ. Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who spoke at Bitcoin 2024 the day prior, proposed even more ambitious measures, such as pairing the gold stock balance with a proportionate amount of bitcoin.

What Ether ETFs Mean For Crypto Adoption
We have recently seen the approval of eight spot Ether ETFs in the U. S, following the approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs. The good news is that this will help, among other things, expand the understanding of Ethereum and its use cases, such as smart contracts and stablecoins, which are dominant in the blockchain industry. Although this is expected to increase investment in Ether given the availability of ETFs, there are concerns about how this buy-side pressure may affect the cost of operations of applications on the Ethereum platform. Further, the launch of these ETFs will attract more attention from the regulatory authorities because Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are significant in the developing financial environment. The increased focus on regulation could mean more direct questions and possible regulatory issues in the future.

Crypto: Solana, the Emerging ETF Star, Says Franklin Templeton
Franklin Templeton, the firm behind introducing ETFs linked to Bitcoin and Ethereum, is now aiming at Solana to take the next step in crypto ETFs. The firm noted that Solana has been adopted quickly, has strong technology that can process many transactions, and has low fees, all of which make it a good candidate for an ETF. This comes when there is increased attention towards Solana, with other firms such as VanEck and 21Shares also planning to list Solana ETFs. According to analyst Eric Balchunas, Ethereum ETFs' approval could open the floodgate to more crypto ETFs, including Solana, in 2025. This could significantly enhance and increase the flow of investors and liquidity in Solana, thus cementing its place in the cryptocurrency space.

"Beyond jitters. How embracing fear led me to leapfrog my entrepreneurial journey" was the title of Sophie GUIBAUD’s (CGCO at Fiat Republic) speech during the Point Zero Forum 2024 last week. A moving case study based off personal insights and experiences, unfolded Sophie’s founder story and shared her perspective on overcoming challenges in #FinTech. 🪙

With multiple awards and recognitions, such as “Standout 35” or “Women in FinTech Powerlist”, Sophie’s take on personal growth had the audience on edge at the #InsightStage last week! We loved the energy ⚡

But there was a lot more to the conference in Zurich. The event covered a range of high-tech topics like AI, Quantum Computing, ESG, and #Blockchain. Some of our observations:

TradFi and Web3
A very insightful Oxford-style debate on “Bridging finance” with Dante Disparte of Circle Bank cought our eye. The panel dived deep into how current digital asset technology is enabling a more connected and open financial system. TradFi and #crypto aren’t just competing, they actually complement each other in a lot of use cases.

What's next for AI
The presentation by Navin Suri was a hard hitting briefing on the latest developments in #AI. Navin went on to discuss whether to produce “standards or startups first”, and debated whether to pause or accelerate innovation. “The stakes have never been higher” as the author suggests.

Blockchain to the rescue
A session on advancing inclusive growth moderated by Matthias Kroner offered a much needed fresh perspective on the transformative power of blockchain technology in advancing global aid initiatives. 🌱

It was a great opportunity for Fiat Republic to be part of these important discussions. 🙏
See you next year, Zurich!

Given #crypto market's super high volatility, we often ask the question - how can one navigate a #CryptoBusiness to achieve a consistent growth outside of the bullish hype cycles?

You can't control the uncontrollable. The thing is - crypto companies, unlike traditional businesses, need to ride the waves of the market. A highly volatile market, with #bitcoin surging from $55K two weeks ago, only to reach nearly $70K by the end of last week. That's of course on top of a plethora of "the usual" business challenges - attracting talent, securing cashflows, or developing the product.

This is why our Co-Founder Sophie GUIBAUD decided to share years of her industry experience and explore hands-on tactics to grow, regardless of the existing market trends.

To skyrocket company growth, Sophie offers some specific areas to focus:

1️⃣ Remember about inclusivity
Offer a diverse range of services to appeal to all user levels - especially important in Web3, where a lot of user interactions differ from the solutions known from Web2.

2️⃣ Top-notch payment rails
Continuously upgrade functionalities for seamless transactions, spotless user experience when paying-in or -out, and to be able to process payments effortlessly at scale.

3️⃣ Build trust & security
Engage with regulators, implement advanced security, and ensure user trust. With crypto regulations evolving as we speak (most notably, MiCA coming into force in the EU this year), all #Web3 businesses need a laser sharp focus on compliance.

4️⃣ Develop strategic partnerships
Collaborate with banks, VCs, FinTechs and other crypto businesses to build up your services and strengthen regulatory support. A strong network will last even through the rockiest market scenarios.
