Weekly Market Summary
The VeChain Foundation published its financial report for Q1 2022, revealing that the project accumulated a $1.2 billion war chest but only spent $4.1 million throughout the quarter. VeChain is a blockchain initiative aimed at improving supply chain management.
The Foundation’s financial report for Q1 2022 was released on Tuesday, and it details the organization’s balance sheet as of March 31 and how it used cash throughout the quarter. The Treasury started the year with $1.37 billion in assets spread between stablecoins, Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and VeChain (VET), but it only had $1.2 billion by the conclusion of the quarter. The majority of the losses were sustained “due to crypto market fluctuations and other VeChain Foundation outgoings,” according to the study.
dYdX, a crypto derivatives trading platform, has launched an iOS app, joining a small group of other decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols that have developed apps for smartphone uptake.
The dYdX app is now available for use. According to Tuesday’s release, the project stated that more than 200,000 individuals had already signed up for the beta before the public launch.
The app will provide the same capabilities as the online version, including gas-free deposits and trading.

Despite market volatility, Celsius Network executives reject claims of huge losses
According to Celsius Network’s leadership, the consequences of high crypto market volatility have had little impact.
Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky reportedly responded to a now-deleted remark from Twitter user David Belle claiming the site had been “completely wiped out.” Mashinsky told his more than 172,000 Twitter followers that “all funds [were] safe” and the company was still operating. However, he noted the “extreme market volatility” that is now affecting initiatives such as Terra (LUNA) and TerraUSD, a stablecoin (UST).
“Our top priority is to ensure that all digital assets on our platform remain safe and secure,” Rod Bolger, chief financial officer at Celius. “Our front office teams also think and act like risk managers to ensure that we are not exposed in any significant way to market swings. Our liquidity position remains very strong.“
The inventor of Top Shot announces a $725 million fund to assist the Flow ecosystem
The Flow ecosystem received $725 million to invest in expanding its NFT network and maintaining support for the ecosystem.
Flow (FLOW) is a Dapper Labs layer-1 blockchain explicitly designed for nonfungible coins (NFTs). Dapper Labs also made the popular NBA Top Shot NFT collection. In addition, the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm used by Flow is environmentally friendly.
The new fund includes 17 enterprises, including significant investment firms a16z, Spartan Group, and CoinFund, who have previously backed other Web3 startups. The funding may entice developers to migrate their projects to Flow rather than Ethereum, which continues to dominate NFTs despite hefty gas prices. In addition, the money will assist games, infrastructure, decentralized finance (DeFi), content, and artists inside the Flow ecosystem.

🔍 DYOR
NEAR Protocol is a layer-one blockchain created as a community-run cloud computing platform. It addresses issues that have plagued rival blockchains, such as transaction speeds, throughput, and compatibility. As a result, NEAR’s blockchain offers a perfect environment for DApps and a pleasant platform for developers and users.
Unlike Ethereum, which employs cryptographic wallet addresses, NEAR uses human-readable account names. NEAR also offers unique scalability options and has its own consensus process known as “Doomslug.”
