The Daily Spin. Then 2023 Thursday Edition. It’s that time of the year, when everybody gets out their crystal ball and makes predictions about what’s going to happen next year. I don’t blame them, all I can say is that no one could have predicted what happened this year…

Never before has any industry provided the opportunity for the little guys to stick it to the man, ever. But to say it doesn’t go with volatility is an understatement… Kraken closes its doors to Japan in a few days, Midas closes doors permanently. Solana details how they will fix their issues and plans for the future. Offchain labs acquires Prysmatic, Redefined and Onramper partner up, Open Ocean introduces Zebec protocol.
