Ok, can we now agree that the bitcoin halving is no longer and may never have been a price catalyst?



Everyone's buying this dip. I'm not. This isn't because I'm bearish, but rather the higher timeframes tell me we likely spend more time at these levels or lower before any real reversal move. No trade is a trade. Sitting in cash while others force entries FOMOing into positions that inevitably go lower isn't passive it's the most active risk management decision you can make. 95% of traders lose long term because they can't sit still. Be the 5%.





Blockchains have for a while been amazing rails to store, send, and program value — 24/7, with global access for everyone by default. Incredible! ...but the actual valuable assets running on those rails have been limited. Meme coins and governance tokens are just not that valuable. What's the point of great financial rails if you have nothing real to finance? This week, the crypto industry finally got much-needed and long-asked-for regulatory clarity from the SEC. Making it clear that cryptocurrencies such as ETH, BTC, and SOL are commodities, not securities. USD on the blockchain (aka stablecoins) are not securities, but regulated under the GENIUS Act. And... securities are... securities! Even when put on the blockchain. Makes sense — great! NASDAQ was this week allowed to settle stock trades on blockchains instead of legacy ledgers — huge! Blockchains will now not only bring faster, global access and programmability to finance... they will also bring unprecedented transparency! At Dune, we've spent the last 8 years building up an enormous amount of crypto data, doing quality assurance, and building great abstractions on top — for and together with the industry's top crypto data analysts. One recent example is our new stablecoin dataset, where you can easily see who holds stablecoins, what types of transactions they are used for, and more. The crypto industry is finally growing up and gaining both scrutiny and legitimacy. Many players have come and gone, but Dune is still here — ready to empower a new wave of financial institutions and fintechs with the industry's best on-chain data.

The difference between a profit and loss can come down to the execution price. Ondo Perps will provide deep liquidity and an institutional-grade execution engine comparable to traditional derivatives markets. A protocol built for traders.
