Our Newest Blockchain Risk Scorecard: Filecoin (FIL)

Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that enables users to rent and

purchase digital storage space, like a cloud-based server. Its native token, FIL, is used for governance and as an incentive for network participants.

It seems to be a promising use case for blockchain: since Filecoin went live in October 2020, usage of the decentralized file storage network has been steadily increasing.

We recently released our Investor Scorecard on FIL, full of investing insight about Filecoin's potential upside. Now, our analysts put FIL into our industry-leading Blockchain Risk Scorecard, which measures the risk level (or potential downside). Premium members can download the Filecoin Risk Scorecard here.

Today's most important stories for crypto investors.

FTX Customers Get a Surprise: Full Repayment(CNBC)

FTX's bankruptcy team has made strides in recouping assets, raising hopes for customer reimbursement. With over $7 billion already gathered and investments appreciating, there's a strategy to repay legitimate claims. This optimistic outlook comes amidst FTX's complex bankruptcy, including efforts to liquidate assets rather than reboot the exchange. The fact that investors may be made whole should be a significant lift for investors and crypto enthusiasts alike.

Critiquing DePIN: False Hope or Real Dawn? (SevenX Ventures)

You may have noticed the resurgence of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) in 2024, where servers and data centers are distributed (like our new Filecoin scorecard above). DePIN projects could significantly disrupt traditional markets by offering more cost-effective, community-driven alternatives. For blockchain investors, DePIN is definitely worth investigating: early adopters could have a long-term payoff.

Loyalty Points are Crypto’s New Bait (The Straits Times)

Startups are increasingly adopting loyalty points programs to retain users, moving away from traditional token airdrops, due to regulatory concerns and user retention issues. Critics argue these programs lack transparency, citing the example of Blast, which attracted significant crypto holdings without straightforward utility for the points. Despite skepticism, the trend continues, with projects like Manta and Mantle seeing substantial growth. Just be sure your loyalty points are actually useful, like our BMJ Reward Points.
