TL;DR Polygon and Pyse launch a model that tokenizes electric delivery motorcycles and monetizes their environmental and urban data on blockchain. The system rewards users with tokens based on the value of the data generated, which is later commercialized for logistics and insurance.

In comparison, Ethereum stopped at 21.8 million, while Mythos Chain and Bitcoin totaled 14.3 million and 14.1 million respectively.

The traditional four-year crypto market cycle, once closely tied to Bitcoin halving events, is no longer as predictable as it once was.

The halving, once the war drum of the bull market, has fallen silent. In the silence, Bitcoin seeks a new rhythm in a crypto market that dances differently.
