Great discussion on The Rollup with Adrien Bertholom “In crypto, the whole ecosystem is structurally long upside volatility.” When markets fall, the impact is systemic: balance sheets reprice, capital tightens, weaker players exit. @bebert0x @therollupco

@therollupco Strong point from Adrien. Downside volatility is where liquidity gets tested and where market structure shows.

"Volatility in crypto is different than volatility in traditional markets. Everyone is naturally long." "Upside volatility is extremely beneficial for everyone. Downside volatility is painful for everyone. It creates bankruptcies, struggle overall for the ecosystem." "You can't thrive in a young market where the people around you are dying." — Adrien Bertholom, Portofino

🚀 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘁! Markets held steady this week, even as a fresh macro shock introduced volatility. The KelpDAO exploit led to ~$290M in losses, leaving Aave with a ~$200M shortfall. Around $160M has already been raised to stabilise the system. Lending stability ultimately depends on collateral quality, liquidity conditions, and coordinated responses.
