Data Source: 21Shares, CoinMarketCap, and Yahoo Finance, from 31-Jan-2023 to 28-Feb-2023 (Close Price)

Decentraland (MANA)

Decentraland (MANA) traded down 16.54% over the past month as activity in the decentralized virtual world dropped significantly. About 4,400 unique wallet addresses interacted with Decentraland throughout February, down ~27% from January. On another note, Decentraland announced it would host its second annual Metaverse Fashion Week event from March 28-31. The event aims to connect emerging digital designers with established fashion institutions like Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger, COACH, and Adidas.

Fantom (FTM)

Fantom’s native token FTM traded down 20.46% over the past month, underperforming the broader crypto market. As a small-cap smart contract platform, Fantom has a higher beta. In addition, FTM’s relative strength index (RSI) was in the ”overbought” zone (>70) for most of January as the cryptoasset rose ~169% – after this correction, FTM’s RSI is now back below 50. Regarding ecosystem development, eight projects have already applied for funding from the Ecosystem Vault launched last month via a governance proposal, of which half were already rejected. The other half’s prospects also look bleak, with less than a 3% voting turnout average of a 55% minimum agreement required.
