The Daily Spin. Midway Monday Edition. The markets take a small knock as liquidity is flushed out of the OI, but is still showing significant weight towards the long leverages over shorts. In comparison with all the prior pullbacks we’ve seen during previous bull-runs, we are still young in comparison of timeframe and total market capitalisation metrics as of now. ETH erases all post-Shapella gains, and memecoin season is at fault for the exorbitant gas-fees seen on ETH during the past week (between 35-70 gwei). Gensler’s testimony in front of US Congress leaves an indelible mark of reluctance to act decisively, and placing an unfair environment on US-based crypto companies has started to take its toll as leaders such as Coinbase look to move operations abroad.

Take a look at the market through the lens of Net Liquidity. MyELisitng, in collaboration with Coinbase Commerce – creates the first platform to buy and sell real estate with crypto, and does it in the US of all places. An opinion-editorial on why the EU has MiCA and the US has regulatory shenanigans, while Treasury Secretary Yellen declares Russia, Iran and China as “conspiring” to dump the Dollar. Meanwhile, smaller economies such as Hong Kong are taking advantage of the US’ misstep to provide fertile grounds for crypto economies. And lastly, Footprint Analytics releases a piece on the potential of blockchain gaming through player data… here is our round-up of curated news and opinions (surely biased) from the world of Blockchain, keeping you informed into the market news with the most trending, in-the-know, and controversial topics. In the name of transparent, dissemination of information to keep you curious, inspired, and clinically sane…
