The market and overall sentiments are bearish today, largely due to remarks made during the press conference. However, I believe the panic is unnecessary and will likely settle within a day or two.
On the other hand, $USUAL launching at this stage saw some initial dips, partly because some exchanges listed it at a lower market cap (e.g., $0.4). Despite this, $USUAL has now surpassed $1 and achieved significant milestones like $1 Billion TVL and $1 Billion trading volume.
The pumping phase seems just around the corner. Remember, this is not financial advice, DYOR before investing or trading!
