(3/n) Stablecoins are proving to be the Killer App of crypto.
"We have severely underestimated the power of stablecoins and their characteristics. It’s no longer about “cashing out”, it’s about transacting with digital value on the internet."
(4/n) Highlighting decentralized stables like $UST→
Been a big month for @terra_money
• Columbus-5 upgrade
• $1B raise by heavy-hitters to backstop UST fluctuations during downturns
• $450M $LUNA burn to capitalize Anchor
• @mars_protocol Lockdrop
• @Uniswap = ~80% total vol on Eth spot DEXs
• Narratives for 2022: Decentralized stables ($UST, $FRAX, $DAI), Curve Wars + Convex
• #ETHDenver was a call for incentive alignment; ~$1B startup equity in DAO tooling among <200 established DAOs
(3/n) If you're not using Amol's TA, you're missing alpha.

- Whales and small fish are buying $BTC
- BTC is currently highly correlated with stonks
- The Fed is rising rates to catch up with inflation = markets under pressure
"Cryptocurrencies appear to be near a hyper-adoption phase, similar to that of the internet during the mid-to-late 1990s." - @WellsFargo chart via @Blockworks_ (1/n)
"Exploits like we saw with Wormhole also highlight a bull case for trading Ethereum-based assets directly on L2s rather than through bridges connecting blockchains with heterogeneous consensus and virtual machine layers." @_LewisHarland_ (3/n)
