Markets & #ReFi this week
Here's this week's intelligence on the tokens and markets relevant to ReFi that are contributing to growth of the Tokenised Earth Economy.
State of the Markets
It’s been a bullish week for the crypto markets, as the Luna Foundation keeps buying Bitcoin and now has over a billion dollars of $BTC in its treasury to back the $UST stable coin! Will the markets lose steam after Luna has completed its acquisitions, or will the impending $ETH Merge keep the bulls running? The adoption of Bitcoin by nation-states is continuing, as Russia says it will now accept $BTC as payment for its oil and gas, to circumvent economic sanctions and El-Salvador has listed a Bitcoin bond – which will have half their proceeds invested in Bitcoin while the rest go towards constructing a “Bitcoin city” at the foot of the Conchagua volcano that willl use renewable thermal energy for mining the coin –though not without some trembles, as reported below in Earth State News.

Token Analysis
The $JUNO story shows how Web3 networks and projects can successfully be bootstrapped. There's now great potential (and need) to innovate how to use these mechanisms to reach and include the right stakeholders as co-owners, users, and governors in Tokenised Earth Economies.
Earth State News
- El Salvador trembles. Skepticism is high after a "buggy" rollout of the nation's Bitcoin wallet and delays with the "Bitcoin bonds." It's a multimillion-dollar proposal that locals have mixed feelings about.
- Most Climate Impacts are in Asia. An International Monetary Fund research paper shows that the severity of Climate disasters in the Middle East and Central Asia have already been more severe than anywhere else on earth. Having already injured or displaced seven million people on average a year, and attributed to more than 2,600 deaths, with $2bn in damages.
- Energised Texans. The state government is thinking about clamping down on large-scale Crypto miners, with a proposal that they would require "Approval to Energise".
🌍 For the Earth!
Let's use the power of the crypto markets and ReFi to positively change the earth state, as we grow the Tokenised Earth Economy.
Join us every Tuesday at 15:00 UTC for a weekly conversation in the Twitter Earth State Space where we share intelligence with the thought-leaders, problem-owners, and solution-builders of this new economy. This week, we're joined by Louise Borreani from Curve Labs, discussing how web3 technologies are helping regenerate parts of the ocean.
Look out for next week's Earth State Briefing, with a focus on ReFi Agriculture.
