The European Commission, the body responsible for proposing EU-wide legislation, has completed the first workshop for its previously announced #Blockchain4EU project.
Launched on June 13, #Blockchain4EU aims to explore potential applications for blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) outside of financial services. Specifically, the workshop – part of an ongoing series that will run until February 2018 – sought to explore blockchain use cases and their relation to industrial transformations within the European Union.

The European Commission wrote that 34 people participated in the workshop, each selected from a pool of stakeholders as to provide a snapshot of the current blockchain ecosystem. Participants included technical experts; developers and scientists; social, economic and legal researchers; entrepreneurs and investors; business and labour representatives; and policy actors at local, national and EU levels.
All in all, it's the latest sign out of the European Commission that it is actively seeking ideas that could benefit from blockchain tech. In June, the commission completed a public consultation on finTech and DLT, and in April, funding was provided for a blockchain pilot.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
O que saber:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Weaker dollar fails to spur bitcoin gains, but there's a reason for that, JPMorgan says
Gold and other hard assets are rallying on dollar weakness, but bitcoin is lagging as markets continue to treat it as a liquidity-sensitive risk asset.
O que saber:
- Bitcoin has, unusually, not rallied alongside the slide in the U.S. dollar.
- JPMorgan strategists say the dollar’s weakness is being driven by short-term flows and sentiment, not changes in growth or monetary policy expectations, and they expect the currency to stabilize as the U.S. economy strengthens.
- Because markets do not view the current dollar decline as a lasting macro shift, bitcoin is trading more like a liquidity-sensitive risk asset than a reliable dollar hedge, leaving gold and emerging markets as the preferred beneficiaries of dollar diversification.
