NFTs are a gateway for the mainstream adoption of crypto. Here are 7 major NFT announcements in just the past 2 months:

1/ Meta

On Nov. 2, Meta announced that users will be able to mint and sell NFTs on their platform, using both the Polygon and Solana networks.

2/ Apple

On Sep. 23, Apple updated their App Store Review Guidelines to allow apps to sell NFTs. This was caveated with not allowing these NFTs to unlock features within the app and the same 30% fees as other purchases, but a great sign of adoption.

3/ Reddit

Reddit announced Collectible Avatar NFTs in July, which gained momentum in October as sales absolutely skyrocketed, with $2.5M of volume in a single day and the highest sale going for 30 ETH (~$45,000).

4/ Twitter

On Oct. 27, Twitter created NFT Tweet Tiles that allow links to NFT marketplaces like Rarible and Magic Eden to show a picture of the NFT and allow users to click through the marketplace listing.

5/ Starbucks

On Sep. 12, Starbucks announced "Starbucks Odyssey", a Web 3 experience offering members "the ability to earn and buy digital collectible stamps (NFTs) that will unlock access to new, immersive coffee experiences."

6/ Gamestop

On Oct 31, Gamestop's NFT Marketplace announced they had integrated immutableX, allowing users to trade NFTs from that network including Illuvium and Gods Unchained.

-J.P. Morgan just executed its first trade on-chain. What could this mean for DeFi's future?

1/ This morning JP Morgan, along with DBS Bank and SBI Digital Asset Holdings, executed a currency trade involving tokenized Japanese Yen (JPY) and Singapore Dollar (SGD) deposits.

2/ The trade was carried out on Polygon Technology utilizing a modified fork of Aave Arc so that the interest rates and FX rates could be manually set.

Here is the liquidity pool they utilized.
https://polygonscan.com/address/0x06f6650D61f40418d6013f6dDb49581f860D96Bc

3/ Why is this important?

There are three major points:

- Banks are joining DeFi
- Ethereum Preference
- Verifiable Credentials

4/ Banks are joining DeFi

Rather than building solutions on a private, permissioned blockchain hosted on JPM servers, they are choosing to explicitly build products for permissionless blockchains, specifically looking to develop "DeFi legos" with their tokenized deposits.

5/ Ethereum Preference

Tyrone Lobban of JPM explicitly expressed the desire to use Ethereum.

While the trade was carried out on Polygon, a sidechain for Ethereum, this was done because the gas costs of the Ethereum L1 would have been too large.

6/

This shows that large institutional capital JPM's size value the inherent security guarantees that Ethereum provides, but also expresses the challenges with deploying on the L1 itself.

We can then expect that they will continue to deploy on Ethereum rollups and sidechains.

7/ Verifiable Credentials

One mechanism used in this transaction is Verifiable Credentials (VCs), which allow users to present necessary compliance information to third-party verifiers, which can then let issuers know of compliance without revealing any sensitive data.

8/

This opens the door for similar mechanisms, in which compliance checks can be done without DeFi protocols needing to implement anything new, and could replace any concerns around the current debate regarding front-ends requiring KYC.

9/

While these are great, I know many that are crypto native are going to have a hard time accepting or adopting the practices and assets of big banks, as DeFi was meant to offer an alternate system that doesn't require any compliance but rather is permissionless for all to use.

10/

However, more adoption from big institutions that are capitulating to building on public and open-source smart contract platforms like Ethereum and not the creation of their own chain or stablecoin should be beneficial in the long-run as more start to compete in this realm.
