One less talked about effect of having more stablecoins onchain is that it will likely lower borrowing cost (i.e. cost for onchain leverage). This is beneficial to the market regardless whether those stables are going to be immediately buying the dip or not

Is the ticker $SNX?
Earlier, I said that apps with a large volume of transactions (e.g., games, social, or DePINs) will benefit most from @SonicLabs' FeeM reward mechanism.
Indeed, the current top earner of FeeM rewards is a game called @sacra_fi. I haven’t tried it, but the website is interesting. Maybe a fun way to pass time during the down market? 😅
If your product is good, there is no need to time your TGE. This cycle has proven time and again that there is no "good time" to launch a token anyway 😅
My timeline suggests much pain, and I feel it too.
$ETH trades near the 300W SMA, entering @benjamincowen's (in)famous regression band (aka "Home"). The 300W SMA held as support back in June 2022 post-Terra-Luna collapse and I think there is a good chance it will hold as support this time as well.
Can it drop more? Certainly, no one knows, but the regression band's mid-line is about $1559 (also the 400W SMA), with a lower bound around $1.1k.
Still, in the longer term, I believe the upside outweighs the potential downside. Zoom out.
$ETH price is lackluster, but adoption keeps increasing. Already, 120 high-profile entities are building on Ethereum.
The network effect will only continue to spread.
