US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

Decentralized protocol Prosper secures investment from BIT Mining as it expands its solution to include institutional-grade Bitcoin mining and liquidity farming.

Prosper, a decentralized protocol bridging Bitcoin (BTC) mining to the blockchain by providing hashrate-backed tokens representing live Bitcoin mining power, has announced that BIT Mining has made a strategic investment in its native token, PROS. In a blog announcement on Nov. 14, Prosper said the investment represents “another significant validation” of its thesis by institutional backers.

“This investment reinforces the credibility and viability of Prosper’s new strategic vision,” the investment vehicle stated.

The size of the deal was not disclosed. The latest funding comes just a week after Prosper also received an undisclosed “key investment” from Waterdrip Capital, a venture capital firm founded by Chinese blockchain-aimed entrepreneurs. At the time, Waterdrip also invested in Prosper’s PROS token. Following BIT Mining’s funding, PROS price gained 7%, soaring to $0.52.

Founded in 2021, Prosper is a decentralized protocol that leverages Bitcoin hashrate to unlock the full potential of the network by bridging institutional-grade mining power on-chain. The protocol allows PROS token holders to earn passive income through “limited-duration” staking reward campaigns.

In the future, to be eligible, PROS holders would need to engage in protocol governance by casting at least one vote every three months, either on BNB Chain (formerly Binance Smart Chain) or Ethereum.

Prosper, a decentralized protocol democratizing access to Bitcoin mining by tokenizing institutional-grade Bitcoin hashrate as omnichain real-world assets (RWA), today announced the acquisition of over 7,000 ASIC miners from BITMAIN along with the successful closing of its strategic funding round.

Backed by Metalpha, Waterdrip Capital, BIT Mining, Animoca Brands, and more, Prosper has procured the new ASIC miners from BITMAIN to bring institutional-grade execution quality to its protocol Prosper aims to expand its underlying Bitcoin hashrate capacity to accelerate the flywheel of DAO-owned hashrate and Bitcoin treasury operations & democratise access to institutional-grade mining Following the announcement of Prosper’s long-term partnership and hosting service agreement with BITMAIN, the world’s leading manufacturer of digital currency mining servers, this landmark purchase marks an instrumental step in Prosper’s mission to provide institutional-grade reliability to its mining ecosystem. By leveraging BITMAIN’s cutting-edge products, Prosper enhances the value delivered to its $PROS token holders, further distinguishing itself as the premier Web3 Bitcoin mining protocol backed by leading industry players.

“Bitcoin brought about a fundamental shift in finance by democratizing an economic system in its entirety with blockchain technology. Prosper follows the footsteps of Bitcoin’s core ethos by democratizing access to Bitcoin hashrate, the underlying layer powering Bitcoin-through blockchain technology. This layer of community governance and ownership afforded by blockchain allows Prosper to scale its flywheel of both Bitcoin hashrate and treasury operations while simultaneously helping to ensure that Bitcoin mining layer is sufficiently decentralized to maintain Bitcoin’s status as the most recognized digital reserve currency. ” said Milton Lam, Prosper Advisory Council Member.

Prosper’s Latest Development

1 EH/s of hashrate procured and ready to fully go live (with 250 PH/s live on Prosper’s dApp already) Access to pipeline capacity of 170MW with the mid-term goal of adding another 5 EH/s More than 2 BTC rewards given out to $PROS holders since November Access to more than 200 BTC to be delegated by launch partners to the DAO to unlock TVL opportunities for $PROS holders Strategic Round Closure: Strengthening the Bitcoin Ecosystem

In addition to its BITMAIN partnership, Prosper announced the closure of its strategic funding round, which saw participation from prominent industry players and financial investors, including Metalpha, Waterdrip Capital, BIT Mining, and Satoshi Protocol. Earlier in October, Animoca Brands also disclosed its intention to purchase $PROS tokens from the open market.

These investments demonstrate the strong confidence in Prosper’s vision of bridging institutional-grade Bitcoin mining power on-chain and its innovative approach to Bitcoin liquidity farming. The involvement of these strategic partners brings crucial industry expertise and networks to support Prosper’s operations as it scales.

Positioning Prosper for Growth

Prosper’s tokenomics adopts a unique design to ensure hashrate-per-token will only increase and be accretive to $PROS holders. Prosper’s DAO leverages a unique flywheel model with both hashrate and Bitcoin treasury operations – all governed by and for the benefits of $PROS holders. Institutional-grade hashrate generates Bitcoin on an ongoing basis, part of which is rewarded to holders for their active participation, and remaining goes to the DAO treasury. DAO’s treasury Bitcoin can be directed towards TVL opportunities with ecosystem partners such as Bitcoin L2 to generate benefits for $PROS holders and the DAO. Growth in DAO treasury value and $PROS adoption allows the protocol to further expand underlying hashrate and enhance protocol resilience. By combining institutional-grade Bitcoin mining hashrate, a decentralized protocol design backed by strong fundamentals, and an extensive network of strategic partners, Prosper is well-positioned to solidify its status as the flagship decentralized Bitcoin mining protocol.

Bitcoin (BTC) hovers above $64,000 at press time on Tuesday, holding steady after a roughly 4% drop last week. Data shows that institutional outflows are easing, suggesting broader market recovery potential, while DeXe (DEXE) and Celestia (TIA) have emerged as frontrunners over the last 24 hours. 

Bitcoin sustains a minor recovery as ETF outflows coolBitcoin-focused Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded four consecutive weeks of over $1 billion in outflows in May and early June. However, institutional trimming has since eased, with $226 million in outflows last week and $315 million the previous week. 

Six consecutive weeks of outflows are mirrored in Ethereum (ETH)-focused ETFs, with $10.05 million last week, followed by $14.91 million the previous week.

Crypto ETFs data. Source: CoinGlassBitcoin maintains a mixed near-term bias, with price remaining below both the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at roughly $68,889 and $78,623, respectively, but holding above a short-term support trendline.

Momentum is mixed on the daily chart, with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) holding positive histograms as the average lines rise, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at around 41 remains below the neutral band, suggesting rallies could still meet selling pressure.

On the topside, initial resistance is seen at the 50-day EMA near $68,889, where any rebound is likely to be tested, followed by the reclaimed bearish rising trendline around $73,439, with the 200-day EMA near $78,623 acting as a more distant cap.

BTC/USDT daily price chart.On the downside, immediate support emerges from the more recent upward trend configuration around $63,341, while a deeper pullback would put focus on the psychological and structural floor at $60,000, where buyers previously defended the larger bullish structure.

DeXe and Celestia regain bullish strengthDeXe is up over 18% on Tuesday, extending its 32% rise from the previous day. DEXE holds well above the 50-day EMA around $16.13 and the 200-day EMA near $10.67, approaching the June 3 high at $24.49.

The RSI near 60 suggests positive but not overstretched momentum even as the MACD line rises toward its signal line for a potential bullish crossover, hinting at a moderating bullish impulse rather than outright exhaustion.

Looking up, the next notable resistance aligns with the Fibonacci anchor near $24.49, where a sustained break higher would reopen the path toward fresh cycle highs. The 127.2% and 161.8% Fibonacci extension levels are at $31.40 and $43.08, respectively, serving as overhead barriers.

DEXE/USDT daily price chart.Looking down, initial support is seen at the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at $20.14, followed by the 50% retracement at $15.50.

Celestia is up over 3% at press time on Tuesday, extending its 5% rebound from the 50-day EMA at $0.3738 the previous day. Momentum has improved as the RSI lifts toward 56 and the MACD and signal line rise into the positive territory, hinting that buyers retain the short-term initiative while price remains above the 50-day EMA.

On the topside, initial resistance is aligned at the 50% retracement of the downswing from $0.6257 to $0.2693, at $0.4104, ahead of a stronger supply barrier between $0.4596 and $0.4722.

TIA/USDT daily price chart.On the downside, immediate support is seen around the 50-day EMA at $0.3738. A break there would expose the 23.6% retracement at $0.3285, while only a deeper slide toward the $0.2693 swing low would undermine the emerging constructive tone.

The SUI ecosystem continues to capture investor attention this October, setting multiple notable new records.

While the recovery momentum of many altcoins has stalled, SUI has achieved a new all-time high (ATH) this month, reaching $2.16.

SUI Ecosystem Market Cap Exceeds $8 BillionAccording to CoinMarketCap, the SUI ecosystem’s market cap in October reached $8.54 billion. Of that, SUI’s individual market cap is around $5.38 billion, while First Digital USD (FDUSD) accounts for almost $3 billion. The daily trading volume across the ecosystem surpassed $6 billion, with most of it still dominated by SUI and FDUSD.

SUI Ecosystem Market Cap and Volume. Source: CoinMarketCap.Other projects within the SUI ecosystem, such as decentralized exchanges (DEXs), meme coins, and lending protocols, hold a smaller share. According to CoinGecko, the market capitalization of meme coins on SUI currently exceeds $296 million, marking a 170% increase from $108 million at the beginning of October.

Typically, investors who buy and hold SUI tend to reinvest in other protocols and meme coins within the ecosystem. This is similar to how the Solana ecosystem surged in popularity last year.

SUI Ranks Among Top 3 Altcoins by Netflow in the Past MonthMore data indicates promising signals for SUI’s continued appeal to investors in the final quarter of the year. Artemis data, which tracks capital flows into and out of various ecosystems, shows that SUI ranks third in altcoin netflow over the past month, behind only Ethereum and Solana.

Netflow by Chain. Source: Artemis.Looking at cross-ecosystem bridge transactions, SUI accounts for over 9% of the capital flow from Ethereum. These figures highlight the growing activity within the SUI network, reflecting the ongoing adoption and demand among users.

SUI Dominance Rises 270%, Reaches New High of 0.27%SUI dominance (SUI.D), which measures SUI’s share of the total market cap, has seen a significant rise. A higher dominance indicates that SUI is becoming a preferred choice among investors.

SUI Dominance. Source: TradingView.In just the past two months, SUI.D has surged 270%, hitting a new high of 0.27%. Although it has now retraced to 0.26%. This comes at a time when most other altcoins are seeing declines in market cap share while Bitcoin dominance remains high at over 56%.

“SUI is moving exactly like SOL before the massive pump,” Investor CryptoGoos predicted.

Through technical analysis, many investors are optimistic that SUI’s price could follow a similar pattern to that of SOL. However, a recent BeInCrypto analysis indicates that SUI may face significant corrections under the pressure of profit-taking from early investors.

This is because the price has increased by nearly 120% in the past 30 days. In such a scenario, investors are bound to book some profit.

First Digital redeems $26M after FDUSD depeg, dismisses Sun insolvency claims

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading below $76,000 at press time on Wednesday, cascading bearish pressure to altcoins. Total liquidations over the last 24 hours have surpassed $300 million, signaling mild volatility. Still, Worldcoin (WLD), Sei (SEI), and Terra Classic (LUNC) hold gains over the same period.

Bitcoin under $76,000 triggers $300 million liquidation spikeBitcoin hovers below $76,000 on Wednesday after a minor pullback the previous day, triggering a broader market pullback. CoinGlass data shows that total liquidations over the last 24 hours exceeded $300 million, led by $200 million in long liquidations, indicating a forced wipeout of bullish positions under pressure. However, the long-term data shows that the liquidations are within normal limits, suggesting a mild near-term volatility. 

Crypto liquidation data. Source: CoinGlassTechnical outlook: Could Worldcoin, Sei, and Terra Luna sustain their gains?Worldcoin is down 4% at press time on Wednesday, after a 13% jump the previous day. The WLD token holds a bullish bias above the 50- and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages, while the 200-day EMA at $0.4533 remains the next major topside cap.

Momentum backs the constructive tone, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sitting in overbought territory near 71 and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) holding in positive territory with a positive histogram, which together suggest strong but increasingly stretched upside conditions.

The falling wedge breakout rally in WLD faces short-term resistance at the March 16 high of $0.4060, followed by the 200-day EMA at $0.4533.

WLD/USDT daily price chart.Looking down, immediate support is emerging at the 100-day EMA at roughly $0.3265 and the 50-day EMA near $0.2830.

SEI rises above its 50-day EMA at $0.0628 with its third day of recovery but remaining capped by the 100-day EMA at $0.0706, which maintains a neutral-to-bearish near-term bias while price stays within this band. The RSI at 57 and the MACD line rising toward its signal line for a bullish crossover, hint at upside traction.

On the topside, initial resistance is located at the 100-day EMA around $0.0706, and a daily close above this barrier would be needed to open the way toward the more substantial 200-day EMA resistance near $0.0984.

SEI/USDT daily price chart.On the downside, immediate support comes from the 50-day EMA at $0.0628; a clear break below this floor would expose the pair to deeper retracements, reinforcing the broader corrective tone.

Terra Classic is effectively pinned above the tight cluster of the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), supporting the bullish recovery.

The RSI at about 57 suggests mildly positive but not overextended momentum, while the flat MACD line nears the signal line, hinting at a lack of strong directional conviction in the near term.

A decisive close above $0.000091 would open the path above the $0.000100 psychological level, potentially targeting the $0.000125 mark.

LUNC/USDT daily price chart.Looking down, the 50-day and 100-day EMAs at $0.000072 and $0.000061, respectively, serve as immediate support levels.

(The technical analysis of this story was written with the help of an AI tool.)

In 2025, the ecosystems that thrive aren’t the loudest — they’re the most strategic, the most focused, and the ones building lasting value. Ecosystem health today is increasingly measured by the depth of developer engagement, not the size of token airdrops or surface-level metrics. Marketing has evolved too: AI tools, grassroots community operations, and hybrid content strategies are replacing short-lived, high-gloss campaigns.

As crypto becomes a fixture in national policy and economic frameworks, credibility and trust within ecosystems have emerged as the new currencies of growth.

There’s no one-size-fits-all playbook anymore. To uncover what’s actually working today, we spoke with growth leaders from Sui, Avalanche, Syscoin, Manta Network, and others. 

This report helps to shed some light on the ongoing trends in the crypto-related marketing and find out which of them are setting the pace for the next wave of sustainable growth.

TL;DR: In 2025, the ecosystems thriving aren’t the loudest. They’re the most strategic, most focused and most aligned with long-term value. Ecosystem health is increasingly tied to the depth of developer engagement, not the size of token airdrops or vanity metrics. Marketing has evolved. AI tools, grassroots community ops, and hybrid content strategies are replacing high-gloss, short-cycle campaigns. With crypto entering national policy agendas and economic frameworks, credibility and ecosystem trust are new growth currencies. There’s no one-size-fits-all. We spoke with growth leaders from Sui, Avalanche, Syscoin, Manta Network and others to uncover what’s actually working. Back in 2024, crypto felt like it was everywhere and nowhere all at once.

Timelines were flooded with debates, L1 vs. L2, monolithic vs. modular, liquidity this, fragmentation that. Almost everyone had a hot take and every project was scrambling for a flash of attention that barely lasted longer than a tweet.

You could launch a project, nail the narrative, get your retweets and podcast mentions and still wake up the next day with no real momentum.

It wasn’t sustainable and deep down, most teams knew it.

And yet, behind the scenes, something foundational shifted.

For the first time, crypto became a serious topic in policy rooms.

The U.S. government announced a strategic crypto reserve. The SEC greenlit Bitcoin and Ether ETPs, signaling a long-awaited shift in regulatory posture. Lawmakers started treating blockchain not as a niche asset class, but as infrastructure and a core component of national strategy. Suddenly, crypto had a seat at the big table.
That was the moment the growth playbook started to change.

Fast-forward to 2025, ecosystems that had been optimizing for virality started asking tougher questions:

What does long-term credibility look like? How do we show up to policymakers and enterprises, not just degens and influencers? Can we measure our health beyond just wallet counts and discord headcounts? To find answers, we spoke with ecosystem leaders across 10 blockchain networks, from early-stage innovators to mature platforms. Despite technical and strategic diversity, they shared one common mindset: They’re building like they plan to be here in five, ten, twenty years.

This is post-hype crypto and the rules have changed.

Key highlights and critical findings

Marketing budgets are all over the place: Some teams are grinding with less than $100K a year while others are spending $10 million and up. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but the gap speaks volumes.  Hybrid teams are the new normal: The smartest teams are optimizing for speed, adaptability, and high-context execution. They’re ruthlessly prioritizing talent that moves the needle, not just fills roles. Builders are the flywheel: Growth teams are channeling most of their energy into developer outreach such as grants, hackathons, ambassador programs, and local language support are common plays.  Audience alignment: In an oversaturated, narrative-heavy market, cutting through the noise to reach the right set of audience is still one of the biggest hurdles. Tactics are getting sharper:  AI-powered marketing, community-based onboarding, and incentive models like “watch-to-earn” are emerging as key differentiators in creating sticky, engaging experiences. Research Methodology To understand what’s driving ecosystem growth in 2025, we went straight to the source in conversations with ten executives across active, forward-thinking blockchain networks including Sui, Avalanche, Manta Network, Syscoin, eCash, and CrossFi Chain.

Our findings are structured across five critical themes:

→ Strategic Priorities

→ Growth Challenges

→ Team Structures

→ Marketing Tactics

→ Budget Allocation

These are the pressure points where ecosystems are being tested, where they’re iterating and where the shift from hype to health is most visible.

The answers weren’t surface-level. 

They were honest, revealing, and at times, surprisingly candid.

Section 1: The Evolving Landscape of Crypto Ecosystems 1.1 From Noise to Nuance Not long ago, crypto felt like a winner-takes-all race.

Ethereum and Bitcoin dominated headlines, while new chains clawed for attention with a flashy feature or a viral announcement.

But that playbook has changed.

Today, the landscape is more fragmented and more alive than ever.

Upstart chains can gain real traction in months. Niche ecosystems are finding staying power by serving focused communities with precision: real dev support, localized outreach, unique tooling, and use cases that resonate with people who actually build.

It’s no longer about being the biggest. 

It’s about being the most relevant to the audience that matters.

Source: Market share distribution among top ecosystems.

The momentum has shifted from mass appeal to mission-driven growth.

The ecosystems making progress are the ones listening, serving and playing the long game.

1.2 Key growth metrics and benchmarks Among surveyed ecosystems, developer adoption has become the north star metric.

While TVL remains a benchmark, leading teams are shifting toward engagement depth over vanity counts. Grants, hackathons, and local campaigns outperform short-term airdrops in both onboarding and retention.

1.3 Critical Challenges Facing Ecosystem Growth Source: Top Barriers to Ecosystem Adoption Identified by Executives

Based on direct feedback, the top challenges for ecosystems today are:

Difficulty reaching the right audience  Oversaturation of the crypto landscape Budget constraints and limited runway for experimentation While blockchain infrastructure is improving,especially with L2 scalability and better dev tooling, the biggest challenges aren’t technical anymore.

They’re strategic.

Most teams aren’t struggling with what to build but with how to position, differentiate, and communicate.

“It’s no longer enough to be technically sound. Ecosystem success depends on whether you can communicate value to developers, users and partners in the clearest, most compelling way possible.” – — Matthew Schmenk, Ecosystem Growth Lead, Avalanche

Section 2: Marketing & Growth Strategies “Marketing in crypto used to be noise. Now it’s systems thinking – who you reach, how you reach them, and why they stay.”- The Lunar Strategy Team

Ecosystem marketing in 2025 isn’t about dropping a flashy campaign, running a paid KOL loop, and hoping it sticks. Today, marketing is infrastructure.

It’s the connective tissue between ecosystem layers: builders, users, tokenholders, institutions driving onboarding, retention, and legitimacy. 

Let’s break it down:

2.1 Choosing the Right Growth Model Source: Percentage of Ecosystems Using External Agencies vs. In-House Teams

According to our survey:

60% use a hybrid model (in-house + agency) 40% operate with fully internal teams 2.2 Analysing the Pros and Cons Hybrid models allow for speed and flexibility while maintaining institutional knowledge. Fully in-house teams prioritize cohesion but may lack bandwidth or breadth of expertise.

2.3 Marketing Budget Allocation Across Ecosystems

Annual budgets vary widely:

<$500K: Primarily in-house with lean teams $500K–$1M: Hybrid setups with agency retained for campaigns $5M+: Full-stack growth teams covering PR, events, KOLs, paid media, SEO and more What’s changing in 2025 isn’t just how much teams spend, it’s how precisely they deploy capital:

Early-stage: lean, localized execution Mid-tier: AI tooling, content ops, ambassador focus Mature: brand systems, KOL pipelines, segmentation
“In 2024, we spent $2M and didn’t know what moved the needle. In 2025, we’re spending half that – with 3x the return – because we track the full funnel.” — Ecosystem CMO

Section 3: Driving Ecosystem Adoption As ecosystems compete for market share, one truth is becoming increasingly clear: developers are the new power users. 

Ecosystem health is now largely measured by the number and quality of developers actively building, contributing, and shipping.

3.1 Developer Acquisition & Retention Across the board, developer evangelism and hackathons ranked as the most effective levers for attracting high-quality builders. In 2025, 9 out of 10 ecosystem leaders called them “critical” or “highly effective.”

But incentives alone aren’t enough. 

The modern developer is motivated by clear value exchange and personal growth, not just payouts.

Here’s what’s working now:

Hackathons with real-world utility On-chain recognition (e.g., badges, NFTs) IRL builder meetups with funded follow-through In short, developer outreach is all about frictionless onboarding, compelling challenges, and a clear value exchange.

Also, programs that combine monetary reward + mentorship + visibility are far outperforming “spray-and-pray” grants.

Case Highlights:

eCash: Turned its internal engineers into public-facing magnets for talent. Builders engage because they trust the humans behind the chain. Syscoin: Hosts regionally targeted AMAs → feeds directly into localized hackathons → devs connect directly to mentors. Sui: “Watch-to-Earn” onboarding that rewards learning with gas fee discounts, NFTs, and access to future funding rounds. Takeaway: Attracting developers is about storytelling. The ecosystems seeing long-term success are those building not just incentives but infrastructure, identity and upward mobility.

While developer acquisition drives infrastructure growth, community engagement fuels longevity. Every successful ecosystem in 2025 has one thing in common: a loyal, activated community with a clear identity.

Source: The Most effective community growth tactics

While growth tactics vary, one truth stands out: the most resilient ecosystems pair online engagement with offline connection.

Top tactics driving community growth:

Strategic partnerships and cross-promotion Ambassador programs built around values, not vanity Hybrid content strategies that blend memes, education, and culture Gated experiences (e.g., token-holders-only Discord channels, NFT access passes for IRL events) But community size alone isn’t a success metric. 

In fact, ecosystems like Sui and Syscoin consistently outperform larger chains on key ecosystem health metrics not because they’re bigger, but because they’re tighter:

Higher TVL per wallet Greater contributor-to-user ratio More active builders per community member Case Study: Syscoin’s grassroots events across APAC led to a 30% increase in wallet retention among new users, with ongoing community-led workshops in 5+ cities.

3.3 The Role of Kaito in Ecosystem Brand Building In 2025, brand strategy has moved beyond logos and Twitter handles.

The Kaito framework, designed to optimize ecosystem mindshare is fast becoming a differentiator for projects seeking credibility and cohesion.

Source: Kaito mindshare metrics across top ecosystems

Adoption Snapshot:

Only 10% of surveyed ecosystems are currently using a structured Kaito strategy However, 40% are actively exploring adoption in the next cycle Projects like Berachain that adopted early Kaito brand structuring reports increased developer trust, faster community onboarding and stronger alignment between technical and community narratives.

Strategic Approaches to Kaito Optimization:

Clear “voice pillars” that reflect ecosystem values Unified messaging across technical, enterprise, and community verticals Scalable content kits and assets to empower contributors to amplify the brand Resource: The Ultimate Brand Playbook for Dominating Kaito Mindshare

Section 4: Marketing Channels & Tactics Today, ecosystems aren’t asking “How do we go viral?”

Instead, they’re asking “How do we show up with the right message, in the right format and to the right audience consistently?”

The new growth stack includes:

Influencer alignment by audience layer PR as a funnel driver, not a vanity boost Social media as ecosystem UX AI and segmentation to fine-tune delivery Let’s break down the mechanics behind the ecosystems getting it right.

4.1 Influencer Marketing Effectiveness Influencer marketing remains effective, only if you get the tier right.

Source: ROI comparison across influencer tiers

Key Takeaway: 

Nano Influencers (1K–10K): ~4.2x ROI Micro Influencers (10K–50K): ~3.9x ROI Macro/Mega Influencers: Significantly lower returns due to saturation and high CPM Nano and Micro influencers (1K–50K followers) outperform all others in ROI due to stronger niche focus, higher engagement, and lower cost-per-activation.

Though, the Top-performing influencer strategies in 2025 blend:

Nano creators for authenticity (Twitter threads, walkthroughs) Mid-tier educators for onboarding and explanation (YouTube, LinkedIn) Selective mega partnerships for major announcements or enterprise plays Best for:

Early-stage projects Ecosystems entering new regions or subcultures Campaigns focused on developer credibility over hype The Lunar Amplification Method

Used by select top-tier ecosystems, the Lunar Amplification Method is a multi-tiered distribution system that combines:

AI-driven influencer matching Creator content kits (assets, talking points, tone guides) Performance-based tiers (creators earn more by driving on-chain action) It’s a system where the creator voice becomes a scalable growth vector backed by data, incentives, and trust.

4.2 Public Relations & Media Coverage Too many ecosystems view PR as a vanity move.

 The most effective teams treat it as distribution infrastructure.

This dual-axis chart illustrates how media coverage intensity correlates with:

Average Developer Sign-ups Total Value Locked (TVL) Growth
Investing in PR campaigns and consistent media exposure can significantly accelerate ecosystem adoption both in developer participation and capital inflow (TVL).

Key Takeaways:

Developer sign-ups scale from ~50 (Low coverage) to ~400 (Very High coverage). TVL growth jumps from 5% under low coverage to an impressive 45% with very high media presence. Higher media coverage directly correlates with a sharp rise in both developer sign-ups and TVL growth. Example: Manta Network launched its dev-focused ZK SDK and timed the announcement with coordinated earned media + regional hackathons = 3.2x increase in sign-ups over 14 days.

In 2025, ecosystems aren’t asking “should we be on [platform]?”

They’re asking how do we show up with the right content, for the right moment, on each platform?

This bar chart displays how frequently various social media platforms are mentioned as part of crypto ecosystem growth strategies.

Platform Highlights: Twitter dominates as the most commonly used platform  Telegram and Discord follow closely, suggesting strong emphasis on community interaction and support hubs. Lesser-used platforms like Reddit, YouTube and Facebook play a niche role in ecosystem marketing. However, crypto ecosystems should create platform-specific content:

Twitter: Memes, threads, real-time updates Telegram/Discord: Community health, AMAs, governance LinkedIn: Strategic partnerships, talent recruitment, ecosystem vision Section 5: Tokenomics & Incentive Design Ecosystems are moving beyond flat airdrops and short-term incentives, and instead architecting behaviorally intelligent tokenomics that reward commitment, skill and genuine contribution.

The question is no longer “What do we give?” but “What are we reinforcing?”

5.1 Effective Incentive Structures Incentives were once a shortcut for growth.

 Now, they’re shaping everything from user retention to governance alignment to ecosystem stickiness.

Source: This bar chart compares the perceived effectiveness of two major types of incentive mechanisms used in crypto ecosystems.

On-chain Incentives (e.g., token rewards, staking bonuses) Off-chain Incentives (e.g., swag, events, community grants) Key Takeaways: On-chain incentives clearly outperform off-chain methods in driving sustained ecosystem engagement. These often tie directly to network growth metrics such as TVL, active wallets, and user retention. Off-chain rewards can still be useful for short-term engagement, brand visibility, and community culture. Projects that tie incentives to measurable contributions and future value (e.g., governance power, access tiers) retain users longer than those offering flat token grants.

Case Examples:

Syscoin offers tiered rewards for contributor milestones Manta Network combines token drops with future airdrop eligibility tied to participation 5.2 Local Developer Hubs Ecosystem growth is global by default and regional by design.

Local developer hubs are now a critical piece of post-hype strategy.

Source: Geographic distribution of developer hubs

This chart highlights the regional presence of developer hubs across the globe, indicating where ecosystems are establishing a physical or community-driven footprint to support builders.

Regional presence is shaping ecosystem strength:

Asia-Pacific leads in number of hubs, driven by fast-growing developer ecosystems North America/Europe hold steady with mature infrastructure and funding access Latin America, MENA, and Africa show rapid interest but remain early-stage Why Local Hubs Work Lower onboarding friction (language, culture, regulation) Higher event turnout and contributor conversion More consistent retention through community anchoring Best Practices:

Launch hybrid events (online + local) Create language-specific docs and support Offer region-based grant programs tied to local needs Conclusion  Crypto in 2025 is quieter, deeper, and more intentional.

The ecosystems winning today are building context, culture, and trust, rooted in purpose where meaningful value, thoughtful execution, and trusted communities are taking center stage.

Our deep-dive conversations with builders, marketers and ecosystem leaders across ten blockchain networks uncovered three core principles that are setting the pace for the next wave of sustainable growth:

Developer-First, Always: The thriving ecosystems treat developers with genuine support, visibility, and growth paths. They’ve recognized that every successful builder brings ten more, creating a powerful flywheel effect and it’s the foundation everything else builds upon. Communities Over Crowds: The most dynamic ecosystems are building tight-knit, purpose-driven communities where members feel ownership and identity. They’re creating spaces where online connections lead to offline relationships and where shared values matter more than token price. Strategic Over Tactical: Leading teams build comprehensive growth systems where every channel, message, and touchpoint works together. They’re tracking full-funnel metrics and optimizing for lasting engagement, not just initial attention. We’re past the era of chasing “what’s working.”

The real question is: What’s worth building and who’s staying to build it with you?

So, focus on creating real value for the people who matter most to your ecosystem. Build with intention, authenticity and remember that in a market still finding its footing and the strongest position isn’t being the loudest voice but the most trusted one.

Because ecosystems aren’t websites.

They’re living systems.

Grayscale's head of research, Zach Pandl, commented on the Anthropic ban, drawing attention to Bittensor.

16.06.2026 - 15:21

Update: 16.06.2026 - 15:21

The Anthropic Claude model, which was taken offline at the request of the US government for its Mythos 5 and Fable 5 versions, has reignited debates in the artificial intelligence world.

While this ban has also attracted market attention, Grayscale research head Zach Pandl evaluated the developments in the latest report.

As is known, on June 12, the US government announced that it was blocking access to Anthropic’s Mythos-level models for foreign nationals on grounds of national security.

Grayscale research director Zach Pandl stated that the US ban on the Anthropic AI model has strengthened decentralized projects.

Accordingly, Pandl argued that the US government’s decision to block Anthropic’s latest AI model has increased demand for decentralized AI projects like Bittensor (TAO).

At this point, Pandl noted that in the US and China, the two leading countries in the field of artificial intelligence, very few companies hold control over the AI sector.

In response, Pandl stated that Bittensor aims to provide permissionless AI access through an open, global, and decentralized network, and that Bittensor is the Bitcoin of the AI sector.

“Bittensor is the Bitcoin of the AI sector… What Bitcoin did for money, Bittensor is doing for AI.”

Recently, access to artificial intelligence has also become very important.

Pandl also noted that the price of TAO increased by 30% in 12 hours following the announcement of the restrictions on the Mythos model, concluding that demand for decentralized alternatives is increasing as centralized providers restrict access to AI.
