1. Crypto Elite Abandon NFTs to Compete for 69 Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Fossil

Golden Finance reports that deep inside a vault in Singapore called “Asia Knox Fortress,” which houses top wines and priceless paintings, there is a complete skeleton of a Triceratops dating back 69 million years—only 24 such fossils are known worldwide. Among its collectors are co-founders like Yoann Turpin of Wintermute, a crypto market maker. This executive and his co-investors paid about $5 million for the fossil, which is over five meters long, and transported it from Wyoming to Singapore’s Le Freeport earlier this year. All four owners invest in cryptocurrencies, including Chaw Wei Yang, who operates a collectibles platform Co-Museum. This purchase reflects a shift in taste among crypto elites. After the NFT boom of 2022, their interest in digital art has waned. Now, senior figures in the digital currency space are increasingly inclined to collect antiques, precious metals, and sculptures.

DeFi Hotspots

1. Alliance DAO Co-Founder: Top Quality Stocks Will Outperform L1 Tokens Over the Next Decade, Because Growth Does Not Necessarily Equal Profitability

Golden Finance reports that QwQiao, co-founder of Alliance DAO, posted on social media that he is willing to bet that, over the next ten years, a weighted index of Layer 1 tokens chosen by them will outperform the stock index he listed. QwQiao explained that most people have a strange misconception that growth = profit = market cap increase. Historically, most industries do not follow this pattern. There are growth sectors that are unprofitable (like airlines and restaurants), and profitable sectors that do not grow (some excellent companies can increase prices over time). He believes blockchain will experience rapid growth, but competition will suppress profits. Although the competition is not as fierce as in the restaurant industry, it is far more competitive than oligopolistic markets.

3. Coinbase Announces Support for All Solana On-Chain Token Trading via DEX

**5. **Alliance DAO Co-Founder: If Someone Believes L1 Weighted Index Will Outperform in the Next 10 Years, I Am Willing to Bet

Golden Finance reports that QW, co-founder of Alliance DAO, posted on social media that he is past the age of wanting to win debates, but if someone believes that “a basket of self-selected public chains (L1) weighted index” will outperform the “8–10 top projects” over the next 10 years, he is willing to bet to settle the debate. QW has previously shared his “10/10 project list,” emphasizing that high-quality projects with strong fundamentals will significantly outperform broad-based public chain indices. Earlier, Dragonfly partner stated that Ethereum has a strong moat, and the idea that “blockchains have no moat” is absurd.
