2/
🟡 What's going on?

This is likely an event that requires a significant resource to launch, and making a big partnership announcement would be crucial to it's long term utility.

First thing to come to mind is the launch of $crvUSD

But wait, why isn't #Curve on the list?

3/
Because viral marketing tactics always hides obvious things, doing this generate greater engagement and hype.

Another thing to note is that @AndreCronjeTech has recently been extra active on Twitter after a long hybernation, suggesting he might be planning for something big.

4/
🟡 How are the 12 projects related to $CRV?

@iearnfinance was spun out of Curve's original team

@MakerDAO has $DAI which uses $ETH and stables for collat, may include $crvUSD for collat once launched

@dopex_io @StakeDAOHQ have huge options trading volume and farms

5/
Continued:

@GearboxProtocol has a significant stablecoin money market

High TVL DEXes:
@SushiSwap $667M
@Balancer $1.2B
@eulerfinance $251M
@AuraFinance $510M
@CoWSwap (Unknown)

Reasons unclear:
@DegenScore
@zerion

6/

Late posting doesn't rule out involvement.

7/
🟡 What are the opportunities?

Obviously NFA, DYODD before anything.

- Look into $CRV
