ROLLUP: One Chart Determines if We're in a Bull or Bear Market
Bankless
Intro
This chapter examines the current status of the market, questioning the potential end of the bull run, while featuring an insightful chart. It discusses the competition among stablecoin providers, significant token freezes, and the implications of recent SEC developments on Ethereum and real-world assets.
In the 2nd Weekly Rollup of Flat-tember, we discuss whether the crypto bull market is over amid rising unemployment and market uncertainty. We cover stablecoin competition for Hyperliquid partnerships, Justin Sun's frozen WFLI tokens, and Nasdaq's tokenized equities. With Ethereum leading in asset tokenization, they also reflect on lost SEC Chair Gensler's texts and the rise of DAOs, alongside major moves from Fidelity and Robinhood.
