while DeFi TVL gained 35% in last 90 days
@pendle_fi did not see any improvement in stats
TVL is still at 1B, down from 10B
DEX volume fell badly, ATL
and fees continue going down - $PENDLE
Crypto spot trading volume finally started growing
after making a low of $672B in July,
now it’s rising for the last 2 months
we’re still in the early phase of recovery
if this continues, there could be huge upside ahead
Standard Chartered predicts $ARB could rise from $0.14 to $10 by 2030
a 70x move from current levels
this prediction is based on Arbitrum's business model:
@arbitrum gets 10% of the net protocol revenue from L2s created using its tech, like @RobinhoodCrypto, helping TradFi come onchain
@StanChart is also forecasting $4T in tokenized assets by 2028
a massive opportunity for the RWA sector
their Arbitrum $ARB price forecast:
$0.5 in 2026
$1.5 in 2027
$3.5 in 2028
$6.5 in 2029
$10 in 2030
still 3 months are left until the end of 2026
and from the current $0.14 level, $ARB needs to do a 3.5x to reach the 2026 target
Arbitrum flipped Solana and Ethereum in perp trading volume
- $42B monthly volume
- $2B open interest
that makes @arbitrum $ARB #2 chain by trading activity
.@opensea has taken over the Ethereum NFT market with 100K+ weekly active users
NFT interest is back, while other marketplaces are seeing almost no volume
KAITO next airdrop is coming?
32.6M $Kaito are unlocking tomorrow
and yesterday, @KaitoAI introduced pulse, where all your yaps will convert into aura
unlock breakdown:
15M - long term creators (community)
7M - ecosystem
7M - core contributors
the interesting part:
15M $Kaito allocated to long-term creators
the timing is definitely interesting
yaps into aura + 15M Kaito allocated to the community
it’s possible this unlock could be connected to a community airdrop
@Punk9277 can you confirm?
Solana just hit a major milestone
non-vote transactions crossed 1B per week for the first time ever
this represents high on-chain activity across:
> users
> bots
> defi
> trading
> payments
> apps
TRON just flipped Ethereum as the biggest USDT chain
over $90B USDT now sitting on Tron
that’s 50% of the entire supply on one chain
but the real number is this:
$26T worth of $USDT moved across Tron in last 5 years
Bitcoin is at $64K
Miners are making same money as when $BTC was $27K
their revenue (block rewards + txn fee) just dropped to 3-year low
In 2023, BTC was around $27K and miners earning roughly $30M/day
today, BTC is at $64K and miners still making $30M/day
price has more than doubled but revenue hasn’t
that means the economics of bitcoin mining are getting tighter and the pressure is coming from multiple sides:
- transaction fees 15 year lows
- block rewards getting half
- hardware getting more expensive
- electricity costs rising
the next halving in 2028 will cut the block reward again
so unless BTC price rises significantly or transaction fees/revenue recover, weaker miners will eventually be forced to shut down
Robinhood just crossed $500m in stablecoins
that's a 100% increase in just 30 days
the entire growth is being driven by:
- @global_dollar USDG
- @ethena USDe
