Inner Chain: Issue 28

🚀 US Government shut down ends, Bitcoin slides below $100k

🚀 Editor's Note

Welcome to the 28th edition of Inner Chain Crypto your weekly no-hype, straight-talking guide to what’s really happening in Crypto and Web 3, from a passionate squad of crypto enthusiasts from Brooklyn to Accra.

There’s still blood in the crypto markets, as we wait to see where Bitcoin finds its bottom after the massive liquidation event on October 10th, compounded by the longest government shutdown in history, sentiment remains cautious. Hopium is fading, and retail investors are sitting on their hands. Yet, beneath the surface, institutions are quietly building.

This week, Coinbase unveiled a new token‑sales platform that lets individual investors purchase digital tokens before they are listed on the exchange, starting on November 17th. Coinbase plans about one token sale per month.

This week alone, the first XRP ETF went live, JP Morgan announced its upcoming JPM Coin deposit token for blockchain-based settlements, and Cash App rolled out Bitcoin and stablecoin payments. With moves like these, how can we not be bullish on crypto big picture? The Wild West days are over - trust, transparency, and governance now lead the charge.

Meanwhile, new narratives are emerging around Robotics and MachineFi, signaling the next wave of innovation we’ll explore later in this edition.

💡 SPOTLIGHT

🤖 Robotics/Machine Fi

MachineFi, short for Machine Finance, is an emerging narrative where machines, from robots to IoT (internet of things) devices, become autonomous economic agents. They can own wallets, earn income, and transact on blockchain networks without human intervention. By combining robotics, AI, and decentralized infrastructure, MachineFi enables machines to provide services (like delivery, cleaning, or data collection), get paid in crypto, and even share revenue with token holders or DAO communities.

For example, projects like peaq and Fetch.ai are pioneering this space. On peaq, robots in a vertical farm can operate autonomously and distribute earnings on-chain to participants who helped fund or manage them. Fetch.ai enables networks of autonomous vehicles and devices to coordinate tasks and exchange value directly. This narrative pushes crypto beyond finance - turning machines into contributors to the digital economy and setting the stage for a future where human and robotic labor coexist and collaborate through blockchain.
