Boeing service executives said that the supply of cockpit windows is lower than expected, which could lead to delivery delays.Boeing service executives said flight hours in most regions continued to show moderate to good growth.June 7th - According to sources familiar with the matter, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter instructed his team on June 6th to "assess the situation in Gulf allies and calculate the costs of repairing damage caused by Iran." The sources stated that the U.S. intends to utilize relevant mechanisms to transfer frozen Iranian assets to Gulf allies to fund their efforts to "address potential future damage from Iran and carry out reconstruction and repair work." The U.S. will also consider whether to use Iranian assets "to compensate for past losses."June 7th - As the conflict with Iran triggers global inflationary pressures, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points next week, becoming the first major central bank among the G7 to tighten monetary policy. Markets anticipate at least one more rate hike this year. In contrast, the Bank of Canada is likely to keep its rates unchanged, while the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England are expected to remain on hold this month, observing the impact of the Iranian conflict. ECB officials aim to ensure that inflation in the Eurozone does not become deeply entrenched, but a rate hike would come at the cost of further dragging down an already weak economy. ECB President Christine Lagarde is likely to provide a clearer signal on the next steps at the press conference following the decision. Meanwhile, the ECB will also release its quarterly economic forecasts, assessing different scenarios of the energy shocks impact on the regional economy.On June 7th, Willie Walsh, Director General of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), stated that rising jet fuel prices are expected to lead to more airline bankruptcies and industry consolidation. He pointed out that a merger between United Airlines and American Airlines is unlikely due to regulatory hurdles. Walsh also stated that once the Middle East conflict subsides, airlines and hubs in the Gulf region will regain market share. Furthermore, despite disappointing progress in clean fuels, IATA remains committed to its 2050 net-zero emissions target.

Multicoin Capital Unveils Latest $430M Crypto and Web3 Startup Fund

Although the markets for digital assets may be frozen over due to a new crypto winter, venture capital companies are nonetheless optimistic about the sector's and Web3's future.


Multicoin Capital, a cryptocurrency venture business, has shown no fear of the bears with the unveiling of its newest fund. Venture Fund III, the third fund from Multicoin, is a $430 million fund that backs entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3 sectors.


The fund would reportedly invest $500,000 to $25 million in early-stage ideas and up to $100 million in later-stage, more established enterprises, according to the statement made on July 12.


The American business was established in 2017, the same year it started making investments in the crypto sector. It oversees a venture fund and a hedge fund that makes investments in both public and private markets. On July 13, managing partner Kyle Samani announced the information.

Concentrate on DAOs, Web3, and DeFi

The fund will concentrate on cryptocurrency initiatives it refers to as Proof of Physical Work, which "build incentive structures that enable anybody in the globe to permissionlessly contribute to a set of common goals." This is not the same as Bitcoin's (BTC) power-hungry proof-of-work consensus algorithm.


It was noted that the idea encourages individuals to carry out legitimate activity that creates physical infrastructure. It cited Web2 companies doing this already, such AirBnB and Uber.


The fund would also focus on DataDAOs, which are proofs of actual work that use data instead of infrastructure and are comparable. Due to privacy and security concerns, data cannot currently be aggregated; however, blockchain technology offers a solution in the form of decentralized, permissionless, and trust-minimized data intermediaries.


A DataDAO named Delphia just received a $60 million financing round headed by Multicoin.


The company is also focused in creator monetization, which gives content producers authority again instead of large social media platforms. Creators may manage their own material and its commercialization by utilizing nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and marketplaces.


The new fund was also interested in consumer-facing Web3 decentralized apps built on top of an existing framework, such Ethereum (ETH). Decentralized finance (DeFi), Web3 infrastructure, and DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) technology would also be examined.


The term "Web3" describes the subsequent generation of the internet, which is decentralized and run by its users as opposed to Web2, which is dominated by global tech and social media corporations that collect data for commercial gain.

Retail Suffers as VCs Continue to Fight

Retail traders are now suffering as the cryptocurrency markets, which serve as the basic financial foundation for many of these Web3 initiatives, are bleeding.


Cryptocurrency markets have lost another 1.9 percent of their value today, bringing the overall market size to $909 billion. Major cryptocurrencies are currently in a range-bound channel, but bad macroeconomic data on CPI (consumer price index/inflation) from the U.S. later today might drive markets down again.
