SWIFT Hackathon
Another industry giant looking to the Web3 space is global payment network SWIFT.
Taking a similar approach to IBM, SWIFT decided to focus the 2022 Hackathon on the Web3 space, attracting the brightest minds in the space and stimulating innovation.
SWIFT says digital assets are an important topic for everyone in the industry and many major players in the market are already working on it. Therefore, SWIFT’s 2022 Hackathon will take place between September 6-23 to foster interoperability and proprietary innovation.
Under interoperability, participants look for solutions that offer faster, cheaper coin-to-coin and tokenized single transactions. Under Ownership, on the other hand, attendees will explore the topic of ownership traceability across multiple chains.
Building bear market
Many crypto execs talk about the coldest winter market in the crypto industry and explain why they are bullish on innovation and building.
Early in the winter market, Blockworks co-founder Jason Yanowitz posted a thread on his Twitter account summarizing the three phases of the bear market. He named the final stage “Bottomless Exhaustion”. He says this is where the fallen price solidifies and there are no new moves in the market. Yanowitz admits that this is the stage most people want to leave. However, he strongly suggests the opposite.
he says:
“If you’re a company, do whatever it takes to get it done. If you’re a builder, stay interested. Find other builders. Build with them. If you’re an investor, write your own thesis.Bet on people you believe in.”
According to Yanowitz, the winter market is a time to remember why we started and focus on building projects that deliver real value.
Prominent cryptocurrency executives also agree with Yanowitz. Many argue that the winter market weeds out projects that don’t offer real value.
