Dose of ETH

Evanss6 makes Weekly Pill once again for an insightful post on why $ETH has experienced underperformance compared to $BTC and $SOL, as well as reasons why this trend might reverse.

Last week, we explored the potential impact of an ETH ETF on $ETH.

We also conducted a poll to gauge when people believed the ETF would be approved. While most did not expect approval this month, the most popular prediction was later this year ๐Ÿ‘€

Dose of BTC

A great crypto breakdown by sector shows the importance of nailing the narrative.

Simply holding $BTC has outperformed many assets since the start of the year. If you held $eBTC, even better ๐Ÿ˜‰

Slowly but surely the institutions are coming.

The State of Wisconsin Investment Board just disclosed it holds ~$100M BTC through BlackRockโ€™s Bitcoin ETF which is in addition to $60M of GBTC ๐Ÿคฏ

Security Spotlight

Security doesnโ€™t stop at launch. Badger is running a post-launch bug bounty with Immunefi for up to $100k.
