On September 11, according to CBS News, US President Trump proposed a "Trump bonus" of $5,000 to every American citizen if the Republican Party retains control of the House and Senate after the midterm elections. The day after proposing the idea, when asked by reporters whether the money would require congressional approval, Trump stated, "Well, we dont think so. If they really needed it, they certainly would, but we dont think its necessary. The country is doing very well right now, and weve earned trillions of dollars through tariffs and other means. Today, the total amount of manufacturing plant construction and other investments in the United States exceeds $20 trillion, a scale far exceeding any previous period. We think this is a good thing. However, we have a condition: the money must be spent domestically—we dont want this money flowing to other countries. We think this is a very good initiative, very popular, and will inject strong momentum into the economy."According to the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon is in talks to provide a loan of approximately $5 billion to AI cloud computing startup FluidStack to strengthen the U.S. data center supply chain.U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter: We have the best-performing bond market in the world.US Treasury Secretary Bessenter: Sanctions will be imposed on a major bank next Monday.According to Iranian media Fars News, the Houthi rebels in Yemen launched missile attacks on positions and gathering points in the Ras al-Arah region, south of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Crypto Market Sell-off Delivers NFT Trading Volume Boost

The crypto market sell-off has aided the growth of OpenSea NFT trading volumes.


Trading volumes on OpenSea fell in February and March as the crypto market rose.


As more mainstream businesses join the NFT area, the prognosis for the NFT market remains positive.

NFTs and OpenSea had a strong start to 2022, with trade volumes reaching an all-time high in January. The upward trend provided a positive picture for the next year.


ETH trade volume reached $4.97 billion in January, according to Dune Analytics statistics. The previous all-time high for OpenSea came in August, when trade volume reached $3.42 billion.


However, the crypto market's recovery from late January lows to early April highs was underwhelming in February and March.


Conditions in the NFT market look to be improving, with the recent crypto market sell-off providing support.

Trading on OpenSea with ETH under $3,000

March saw $2.49bn in ETH-based NFT trading volumes, down from $4.97bn in January and $3.58bn in February.


ETH trading volume is at $1.30bn. A continuing ETH decline would encourage demand for NFTs, notwithstanding the lack of a straight line.


After a January low of $2,161, ETH hit $3,500 in April before slipping down to sub-$3,000. ETH has declined in 6 of 9 sessions, with ETH-based NFT trading on OpenSea returning to sub-$3,000.


Because NFT trade volumes for Polygon (MATIC) and Solana (SOL) are so small, ETH remains the major emphasis.


This month's active traders have risen. From 546,145 in January to 451,767 in March, active ETH-based NFT traders. This month, there were 281,546 active ETH-based NFT traders.


Active traders may reach January's all-time high, boosting OpenSea and NFTs.

Beyond ETH Value's Influence on Trading Volume

Competition, illegal conduct, new NFT launches, and regulatory scrutiny will all have an impact on OpenSea trading activity.


LooksRare (LOOKS) debuted in January this year, and Coinbase is ready to join the NFT field via CoinbaseNFT.


Acceptance of fiat money as a form of payment will be a last important driver for NFT transaction counts. Coinbase and Mastercard announced a cooperation at the start of the year that would enable mainstream payments for NFTs.


The ability to accept mainstream payments eliminates the need for potential NFT collectors to open digital wallets and acquire cryptocurrency under risky market circumstances. The move by Coinbase to accept Mastercard payments may drive other NFT markets to do the same.


The good news for the NFT industry is that major corporations are continuing to investigate and join the digital asset market. Investors will be watching how Solana-based NFTs work for OpenSea.


However, there are also downside concerns, such as illegal activities and increasing governmental supervision. Regulatory monitoring must be helpful rather than punishing in order to make the NFT market more accessible. The actions of regulators on NFTs may be connected to unlawful activities in the NFT sector.
