A new month means a new monthly update of HoloZing from me! Time flies, it's more than 1 year already, how's everyone doing?

This month, there were not much updates except these two post in the HoloZing Community. Nonetheless, the claiming and stacking of ZING continues. For this month, I added another 3.7k ZING to my Hive wallet and that's a 22% increase! It's fascinating that I don't realise the growth that much on a day to day basis, but when I look back after a month, it's not small!

In my last update, I shared that the ZING daily distribution rewards have changed, because more ZING was awarded to those who held the Alpha Vials, my daily ZING claims have increased from ~100 per day to ~150 per day.

As more Alpha Vials were sold, it's inevitable that the number will gradually decline.

For 31 Dec 2024, my daily ZING claim was 151, with 146 coming from 2 Alpha Vials that I held.
For 31 Jan 2025, my daily ZING claim was 131, with 125 coming from 2 Alpha Vials that I held.

At time of writing, 3,245 Alpha Vials have been sold!

Of course, no HoloZing update is complete without talking about my ZING stake.

Back to the usual update, as for the rewards, the numbers have changed a lot due to the change in the rewards system, as well as the fluctuations in the price of Hive. The APR for Staking has remained at 6% and the APR for HP Delegation decreased from 8% to 7%!

With the current APR, one question is whether it still makes sense to delegation HP or stake ZING. That's something I have been pondering as well. Right now, I am still keep my HP delegation, since the primary purpose was to support @zingtoken and delegation rewards are secondary, and 8% is something I can sort of live with. As for staking, I am doing some unstaking so that I have more ZING to play with when there is volatility in prices since the staking rewards are not as attractive.

Over the past month, there were a lot of movements in my ZING holdings and the changes were due to (i) crazy amount of ZING from the Collection Rewards and, (ii) the usual accumulation through the APRs from HP Delegation and Staking, (iii) trading ZING due to the volatility of the price. With that, my current holdings of ZING have increased significantly from 16,899 in the last update to 20,617 currently.

As for myself, I have separated my holdings in two separate slices.

Delegation

From HP delegation and staking ZING, I have obtained a total of about 4,747 ZING, of which, I have sold 4,500 ZING at around 0.0047 Hive on average. Hence, I am left with about 247 ZING.For the delegation slice, I have delegated 100 HP to @zingtoken all the way since the claimdrop started on 21 Oct.

So let's put them into a table and see how the figures look like.

Returns	ZING	Price in Hive	Value in Hive
Realised	4,500	0.0047	21.19
Unrealised	247	0.0026	0.63
Total	4,747		21.82

On a base of 100 HP, that's about 22% ROI over about 1 year and 4 months. If we were to annualise this figure, which isn't that meaningful (but purely for the purpose of generating an APR number), that's 16% APR.

Of course, the numbers will fluctuate wildly, depending on the increase or decrease in the HP delegation to @zingtoken.

Trading/Holding

For the trading slice, I have currently about 20,370 ZING, with some of them staked to get the staking APR. With the recent activities, a table is probably better to capture the ins and outs from an account perspective. And for once, the numbers look a lot better. This month, the net gains have increased from 44 Hive to 53 Hive. Hehe.

ZING account
Net cost of ZING bought	42 Hive

Net profits from ZING sales so far	41 Hive
Current value of remaining 20,370 ZING	54 Hive

Net Gains	53 Hive

Of course, I have excluded the 35.80 HBD spent on the Alpha Vials in this table, as this probably complicates the table. Let's see if the net gains can eventually offset the cost of my Alpha Vials. So that's so far the in and outs, which is done purely just to satisfy the statistical nerd in me. Haha.

What's next for me?

I think the crypto ecosystem, even in the Hive ecosystem, is very competitive. Lots of opportunities appear every now and then, and people often jump from one project to next. Personally, I don't think it's much of a concern for me, I will still looking for opportunities to buy (low) and sell (high), and at the same time, keep some ZING for the eventual launch of the HoloZing game, whenever it will be.

The price of ZING is something that I would watch very closely. As for the game development, I have already done my favourites/follows so I will continue to read them as they come.

This has been a fun and positive update and as always, my HoloZing posts will include the @commentrewarder initiative. So you know what you should do! Hahaha!

Comment Rewarder (CR) is a bot that rewards comments. CR helps low-stake authors (and all authors) reward their audience. Not all blog authors have enough Hive Power to upvote replies to reach the dust threshold, and rewarding comments incentivizes engagement. Authors with lower Hive Power may not have a weighty enough vote to successfully reward replies to their posts because of the ~$0.02 “dust” threshold. CR solves this problem.

Before I end, of course, I should always reiterate that this is not financial advice. This is just my personal viewpoint and one should ALWAYS do your own due diligence for anything you want to put your money in.

Finally, if you are interested to keep tabs on HoloZing, don't forget to follow the HoloZing Community on Hive, or HoloZing on X/Twitter. Otherwise, I will continue to post occasional updates when I have thoughts to share. Thanks for reading! :)
