Stablecoin flows:

  • Total stablecoin market cap remained flat this week at -0.2% decrease.

  • Hedera, Waves and Polygon zkEVM saw the largest stablecoin inflows.

  • Dogechain, SmartBCH, EthereumClassic saw the largest stablecoin outflows.

Smart Money Movement:

  • Smart Money remains relatively quiet this week with slow accumulation into OG defi coins like Aave and Uniswap.

  • Some Alts purchased by Smart Money this week include AVAX, Rai Reflex Index, WINR, Level, Pendle and JPEG.

L1/L2 movement:

  • Huge fees in FTM Ecosystem this week due to the Multichain hack as users begin pulling funds from FTM due to the L1’s exposure to the now-suspended bridge.

  • zkSync Era continues to dominate daily TPS as airdrop farmers flock en mass. However, the Defi experience on the chain remains subpar compared to Arbitrum.

DAPP movements:

  • Lido continues its dominance in the DAPP rankings.

  • Level Finance PF ratio is looking attractive compared to other Perp protocols.

  • Arbitrum is the top trending application this week.

  • Alpha drop by @apes_prologue

6. TLDR

  • Smart Money continues to accumulate slowly as the market crabs sideways, with notable inflows into OG DeFi projects like AAVE and Uniswap.

  • We seem to be at the final innings of the bear/crab market with inflation coming down to the 2% range, I am starting to accumulate quality ALTs in preparation for the coming bull run during the next BTC halving.

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.
