Stablecoin flows:

  • Total stablecoin market cap continues its downtrend this week at -0.24%.

  • RSK, Cardano and Starknet saw the largest stablecoin inflows.

  • Hedera, Flow and Wanchain saw the largest stablecoin outflows.

Smart Money Movement:

  • Smart money continues to play relatively defensively, with large conversions into USDT and the continued accumulation of ETH and its derivatives.

L1/L2 movement:

  • ETH remains the top fee and revenue-generating L1, its dominance continues to outpace alternate L1s like BNB and Solana.

  • zkSync’s TVL is increasing rapidly to contest with dominant optimistic roll-ups like Optimism and Arbitrum.

DAPP movements:

  • Paraswap overtook Lido as the highest fee and revenue-generating protocol this week.

  • Raises are still happening during this crab market, with the most recent Kakarot receiving Vitalik’s angel investment.

  • Alpha drop by @apes_prologue

6. TLDR

  • zkSync TVL growth outpaces all other L2s thus far. It is probably a good idea to start paying attention to the top protocols in the ecosystem.

  • Fundraising is still happening during this crab market. Keep a look out for these protocols that received top VCs/Angle funding which could do well in the next bull run.

P.s. I may have positions in the projects discussed in this article. Please note that this article is not intended as financial advice, and I encourage readers to conduct their own due diligence and ape responsibly.

That’s it Anon, hope you enjoyed the 🐰hole this week.
