Howdy investors!


Today, we're taking a deep breath and looking inward to evaluate our industry-leading Investor Scorecards. Simply put, do our higher-rated investments make our investors money?


We're also covering Worldcoin eye scans and blockchain adoption in the government.


Finally, if you missed Wednesday's webinar on Best Layer-1 Protocols, you'll get a chance to view the replay (Premium members only).


Let's jump in!


Our Scorecard Performance

by John Hargrave

Investor Takeaway: Investors need a rigorous, consistent way of valuing crypto investments. That's why we created our peer-reviewed, industry-leading Investor Scorecards. Now, we're putting our method to the test. Do our scorecards stand up to scrutiny? The answer is yes.


A few years ago, we developed our Blockchain Investor Scorecard, which was peer-reviewed and published, and has since been cited by dozens of researchers as an industry-leading framework for valuing crypto investments.



Then, we started to actually use it.


Our analysts have used our scorecard to evaluate dozens of top crypto investments, but our question was: Have they made money for our investors?

Must Read

Today's most important stories for crypto investors.

U.K. May Move to Blockchain for Trade Documents

(CoinDesk)

Investor takeaway: With the continued promise of blockchain uptake outside of crypto, we're seeing hope in the U.K. This law dictates that electronic documents with the proper security and integrity controls can be treated "legally analogous" to paper.

Sam Altman Wants to Scan Our Eyeballs (TechCrunch)

Investor takeaway: We've previously mentioned the Worldcoin project, but things are getting a bit... weird. TechCrunch reports that the intent of Worldcoin (through the Tools for Humanity project) is to scan token holders' eyes for use in a biometric database that will, supposedly, distinguish who is a human and who is an AI.


This token is currently not available in the U.S. for fairly obvious reasons.

Wall Street Bullish on Blockchain Despite Mainstream Adoption (CNBC)

Investor takeaway: Despite a slower uptick in adoption across different projects, investors seem positive about blockchain technologies' role in innovating fintech more broadly, particularly in cross-platform and cross-market infrastructures.

Stablecoin Regulation Bill Stalls in House (Decrypt)

Investor takeaway: Republicans in the House of Representatives pushing for an agreement on stablecoin regulation have now run into resistance from Democrats, who see the bill as insufficient in terms of market regulation and impact on the U.S. dollar. However, negotiations are still underway.
