Consumer Blockchain Breakdown

There are a number of key components that have helped build the foundation of the “Consumer Blockchain”.

#Crypto#NFTs#defi & the #metaverse, are paving the way for a digital renaissance that will impact art, music, gaming, fashion, sports, & your very own I.D. online!

However, consumer, Web2 brands are currently leading the way, both in terms of popularity and revenue, including:

@Nike with @RTFKT @DolceGabbana @TiffanyAndCo @Gucci @Adidas @Budweiser @TIME @Budlight @AustralianOpen @LACOSTE and more!

Key takeaway from RTFKT’s partnerships with Nike

The pyramid of target audiences

The pyramid of target audiences is a useful tool for web3 brands to prioritize their resources and efforts when it comes to reaching and engaging with different groups of people.

The Success of Reddits Web3 Adoption

There are more NFT owners on Reddit than OpenSea now!

How did Reddit onboard millions of users?

So how did @Reddit onboard millions of users?

[1] Airdrop

There are at least 4 other collections which were airdropped to top users of specific subreddits. For example, Drip Squad - these have hundreds of thousands of holders, with traits seemingly evenly distributed.

[2] Rich utilities:

6 utilities right out of the gate. Recognition of utilities from Web3 audience accelerate adoption.

[3] World-class partnerships:

  • Netflix series partnerships, AAA game partnerships, @AFL and artists collaboration .
  • Getting Subreddit community support.

Key takeaway from Polygon x Reddit’s Success

1️. Seamless Onboarding Experience

2️ . Lower Price Point - Price the collectible at $1-10, lower barrier for entry.

3️. Large audience base - 430 million monthly active users.

Challenges that lie ahead:

• Low audience Web3 literacy

• Saturation of #P2E, not for fun

• Lack of content on Web3 and the Metaverse

• Bear market conditions

• Teams downsizing

But where there are challenges, there are also opportunities!

• Develop a top-down, bottom-up Web3 strategy

• Learn from the best projects

• Focus internally on Web3 education

• Lock-in strong technology partners

• Co-develop with the community to end zero-sum

Although the crypto & NFT industries have been rocky over the past few months, you wouldn't know it by digging deeper into what companies are doing, rather than saying!

There are still hurtles to overcome in the next few years, but it's never been more exciting!

  • Morgan Stanley: 2028 as a Key Observation Point for Global Memory Competition Landscape

    On August 29, Morgan Stanley pointed out that the rise of Chinese memory manufacturers should not be viewed merely as a technological catch-up or low-cost substitution; what is truly noteworthy is that their production capacity may gradually become large enough to alter the supply structure of the global memory market. Changxin Technology and Yangtze Memory Technologies are currently entering the mainstream product market and gradually extending into high-profit markets such as HBM, high-end server DRAM, and enterprise SSDs. Morgan Stanley considers 2028 as an important observation point for the global memory competition landscape. From 2026 to 2027, demand for AI servers, capacity crowding of advanced wafers by HBM, import substitution, and the time required for customer certification may absorb most of the new supply from Chinese memory manufacturers. By 2028, as Chinese manufacturers expand production, the additional capacity from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, which had previously initiated expansions, will also be released. At that time, the supply variables in the global memory market will significantly increase. Morgan Stanley estimates that Changxin's DRAM monthly production capacity will rise from 180,000 wafers in 2025 to 300,000 in 2026, accounting for approximately 13% of global DRAM wafer capacity and about 11% of bit shipments; by 2028, it is expected to further increase to 500,000 wafers, and by 2031, it could reach 800,000 wafers. If the expansion proceeds smoothly, Changxin's global DRAM bit shipment market share could approach 15% by 2030, and it may even have the opportunity to surpass Micron in production capacity around 2028, becoming the third-largest DRAM supplier in the world.
