Web3 Hiring Surge, DeFi Drama, and NFTs Evolve: Crypto News Roundup with Willy
Web3 Deep Dive: NFTs, DeFi, and Cryptocurrency Explained podcast.
Hey folks, it’s Crypto Willy here, your best friend next door who just happens to live and breathe Web3, NFTs, DeFi, and all things crypto. This past week has been a wild ride in the decentralized world, so let’s dive in and break it all down.
First up, hiring is absolutely exploding in the Web3 space. June saw a jaw-dropping 753% surge in job postings across the industry. Big names like Ripple, Arbitrum Foundation, Stellar, and Ava Labs have all stepped up recruiting, desperately seeking engineers, product managers, and analysts. Kraken especially made waves, announcing hundreds of new roles, which means both new faces in the space and fresh energy for innovation. This rush for talent hints at even faster development cycles coming soon for both big tokens like BTC and ETH and for the platforms underlying NFTs and DeFi tools.
On the DeFi front, the past week had its share of drama and resilience. Bitget turned heads by publishing its June Proof of Reserves, showing a 199% coverage ratio. That’s nearly double the standard most exchanges provide, with Bitcoin reserves at a whopping 429% and USDC at 270%. It’s a strong sign that exchanges are listening to calls for transparency, especially after a year of market anxiety. But while some platforms are raising the bar, others are facing challenges. Just ask the team over at Resupply, a stablecoin lender that got hit by a $9.3 million exploit due to a smart contract vulnerability. This is a classic reminder that, with great innovation, security has to stay one step ahead.
NFTs are still finding ways to surprise us, even as the initial hype has cooled a bit. Projects are shifting focus from profile pics to real-world use cases like ticketing, memberships, and even digital IDs. The past week has seen artists, game developers, and startups experimenting with new NFT tools—think proof-of-attendance badges for virtual events or blockchain-based identity verification systems. It’s clear that NFTs are evolving, moving beyond digital collectibles into tech that could reshape how we interact online.
Of course, none of this happens in a vacuum. Web3 itself—the bold vision of a decentralized internet—continues to evolve. At its core, Web3 uses blockchain to shift ownership and power from centralized authorities back to users. Cryptocurrencies act as the backbone, enabling fast, borderless, and permissionless transactions. DeFi services, meanwhile, let anyone lend, borrow, or trade assets without a bank in sight. DAOs are also gaining traction, allowing communities to govern projects collectively through token votes instead of top-down control.
To sum it up, the Web3 world is growing faster than ever, fueled by massive hiring, big steps in transparency, ongoing innovation in NFTs, and relentless evolution in DeFi and DAOs. There are bumps in the road—some security scares, some growing pains—but the momentum is undeniable.
Stay tuned, stack those sats, and don’t forget to keep your private keys safe. This is Crypto Willy signing off until next week, keeping you plugged in to all the action shaping the future of money and the web.
