5. Movement Analysis

Stablecoin flows:

  • Total stablecoin market cap remains flat this week as Fed announced a pause in the I/R hike.

  • ThunderCore, Waves and Terra Classic saw the largest stablecoin inflows.

  • Harmony, Evmos, Liquidchain saw the largest stablecoin outflows.

Smart Money Movement:

  • Smart money swapped out USDT for other stablecoins (USDC/DAI) over depegg fears.

  • No exciting buy/sell this week as Smart money slowly accumulates ETH and/or sits at the sideline.

L1/L2 movement:

  • Arbitrum’s DAU continue to trend down while zkSync Era slowly inches upwards. This could mainly be attributable to airdrop farmers but only time will tell if zkSync can sustain this momentum.

DAPP movements:

  • MakerDAO benefitted from the demand for DAI due to USDT depeg fears, raking in $1.8 million in revenue this week.

  • Sandbox is the top trending application this week with 33,068 active addresses.

  • Alpha drop by @apes_prologue

6. TLDR

  • Relatively slow week today in the crypto markets as all eyes are focused on the next shiny AI narrative in the Tradfi markets.

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.
