GambleFi ruled in the bear and will rule harder in 2024

It is one of the sector with a huge untapped market size of $263B

More than a third of the bets were made through crypto up by 50% YoY

The fall of @ZKasino_io will bring a lot of attention to @azuroprotocol which I am really hyped on and here's why:

So, in the first half of the year....

- In Q2 we will see, the first over on-chain live betting, @TeamBookiebot also has something of sort in their roadmap

- Timely with the sports fanatic hype around May to June as well with The Champions League Final, Eurocup, and NBA, which will bring a lot of volume for live betting

In the 2nd half of the year...

- We will have the US presidential election, markets will be very heated as sports and politics become one of the most talked about topics

- Continuous integration with a lot of infrastructure partners like L1, L2, TG bots and dApps like @TeamBookiebot @BoxBetApp, all of which aims to increase betting volume, users and TVL

Finally, the highlights that you all want to hear:

- They have raised $11M from a funding from @SevenXVentures, @fenbushi, Arrington Capital , @polymorphiccap, @RedBeardVC,
@DewhalesCapital, and @G1_Ventures.

- Because of this huge funding round raised, we can look forward for an airdrop of $AZUR with $TIA like stake drop features and you are first to hear this here

#btc #BTCHALVING #HotTrends

Merlin did $3B of TVL and $AAI integrates with them

$ZKS likely doing an airdrop before May 12 (bold prediction)
BRC20 narrative heating up with Runes

Here is why $AAI move is strategic to capture the upside of $BTC narrative + $ZKS drop:

✦ First mover: They added a BTC L2 @MerlinLayer2 to their airdrop farming, no other airdrop tool have done this yet

✦ Strategy Integration: With @avalonfinance_ integration, users possibly farm both Avalon and Merlin's airdrop

✦ AI Human Interaction: Anti-Sybil tooling ensures users human-like airdrop interaction to qualify for all airdrops

Halving brought a lot of attention back to $BTC

Just weeks ago ETH was in over 80% dominance but just recently, post halving we are seeing $BTC catching up with a 44% dominance right now

We might have just witnessed the biggest rug in 2024

Investing early in Zkasino cost us over $33M

Official Telegram's gone, they dumped a massive amount of ETH on Lido, and the founders vanished.

Let’s break down the investigation
🧵👇

For those of you who don’t know, @Zkasino_io is a crypto betting and gambling platform that was making waves recently

At first glance, Zkasino looked like any other GambleFi project.

They had announced $350 million valuation for its Series A round, backed by $26M from some of the biggest players, even @MEXC_Official

They even got Certik to audit their code, testnet seemed fine.

But turns out, founder @Derivatives_Ape swapped our bridged ETH for those $ZKAS tokens at TWICE the price anyone else could buy on @apeterminal. Extremely Shady.

Thing is, @Derivatives_Ape had a spotty history with @ZigZagExchange and @Syncus_Fi. Not rugs exactly, but still weird.

Then, ZigZag's founder Kedar Iyer calls out the ZKasino team for straight-up lying about using their funds for $ZKAS instead

This raised many suspicions about @ZKasino_io

But no one bat an eye on it after @Derivatives_Ape denied these allegations.

But more recently, @MEXC_Official announced that they would be cancelling the $ZKAS token listing without any explanation

This caused massive FUD as the token’s IDO was already cancelled on @apeterminal & @AITProtocol

In their Telegram’s investor chat, the team had already tried to downplay the FUD by saying it was only postponed

“The ZKasino network will still go live; it has been delayed due to exchange listings.”

But this was a lie.

Another distasteful thing, ZKasino first claimed that they were using tech like @zksync and @eigen_da in their bio. But they did not mention this at all in their documentation

They were using a simple Arbitum Nitro chain instead. Now that people called them out for it, they removed the tech it in their bio

Some market thoughts and observations about what is going on:

We saw a significant downturn with $BTC falling below $66,000 and Ethereum dropping to $3,320 lows.

• Early signals from the options market, particularly the downside skew in risk reversals, indicated potential volatility.

• Massive liquidations on exchanges like Binance, where perpetual funding rates dropped sharply, contributed to the speed of the price movements.

• Prices have settled into a $60,000 to $72,000 range for Bitcoin, hinting at a potential stabilization.

• Despite the recent adjustments, the forward curve remains elevated, suggesting ongoing market speculation and uncertainty about future volatility.

What do you think is next?

In January, we witnessed a watershed moment with the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs,

Reignited hopes for another DeFi summer, reminiscent of 2020

Some thoughts for a journey less than 20days to Halving
🧵

So what's driving this DeFi renaissance? 3 factors:

• Institutional FOMO - With the crypto bull back, tradfi giants like BlackRock are piling in, tokenizing assets & fueling demand
• Bitcoin ETFs BTC spot ETFs have opened the floodgates, letting retail & institutional $ pour into crypto
• High Risk Appetite - After a desert 2022, speculative capital is fevered to capitalize on DeFi's wildly lush pastures

Let's dive in

Now, with DeFi yields overtaking those of traditional investment avenues, such as U.S. Treasuries, the anticipation for another DeFi summer is palpable among enthusiasts and investors alike.

The recent DeFi yield surge is highlighted by platforms like MakerDAO, offering a 15% yield on its DAI Savings Rate, and Ethena Labs, where riskier ventures can earn investors up to 27%.

These figures starkly contrast with the relatively stagnant yields found in TradeFi, signaling a potential shift in investor preference towards the high-octane world of DeFi.

We've began to forget that the LBP mechanisms were pioneered by Balancer. not Fjord.

And here is why I believe @1intro will be a leader on @solana with a renewed DEX + LBP + All-in-one paradigm
👇

Perfect Product Market Fit

• Innovative Solution: All-in-1 platform for Solana, enhancing efficiency, user experience, and project launches.
• High-Efficiency DEX: Aims to outperform existing DEXs with superior speed, reliability, and user interface.
• Fair Launch Mechanisms: Customizable LBPs and auctions for equitable project launches.
• No-Code Token Deployment: Easy-to-use interface for token creation, liquidity addition, and management.

Market Opportunity

• Market Need: Addresses critical pain points of slow, buggy, and inefficient DeFi platforms on Solana @RaydiumProtocol @JupiterExchange
• Growth Potential: High due to the growing demand for efficient and user-friendly DeFi solutions as the retail users onboard
• Strategic Advantage: First-mover in providing a comprehensive, integrated platform on Solana with unique features.

Invested by Binance and having 37 DAO contributors & advisors

They are primed for 3 potential airdrops like $LZ, as they’ve:
• Generated $30M in fees
• $350M in TVL
• V3 upgrade

Here's my bullish thesis on $RDNT
🧵

My TLDR bull thesis on $RDNT :

• @RDNTCapital positioned well to receive $LZ airdrop
• $RDNT has a higher beta, and lower market cap than $STG.
• v3 launching soon- the first lending market geared to support 100’s of long tail assets across LSTs, AI, memecoins, gaming
• Partnered with http://defi.app who is building the Robinhood of DeFi
• $RDNT dLP lockers are likely to receive a big airdrop

What is Radiant?

@RDNTCapital is an omnichain borrowing and lending protocol, also known as money markets, powered by Layer Zero & Stargate.

In this thread, I will breadown the key attraction points of $RDNT and about its upcoming v3 that aims to accelerate growth.

#RDNT #HotTrands #Ethereum✅ #ETHFI⁩

Memecoins are still dominating, not surprised at all to seem $BOME on Mux

LRTs is another incoming narrative wave and its the first LRT protocol to have their token.

$ETH is dominating over 90% of volume and no doubt that we can see that value flow into LRTs.

Waking feeling extremely disturbed after seeing this

#PYTH posted a drainer in their official twitter announcement and on their website.

I suggest not to interact with anything from them.

So, if you enter the "official" ununx(dot)com website [SCAM LINK], and join their "official" Discord, you're then pointed to an .io domain from crypto section, which drain user wallets after signing.

Here are 3 indicators about the market condition
👇🧵

Next FOMC meeting in 39 Days

Crypto Market
Volatility and diverse factors influencing the cryptocurrency market, including investor sentiment, regulatory developments, network activity, and emerging trends like AI and meme coins.

Macro Market
Fed's dovish stance boosted markets, while corporate moves like Alibaba's divestment and upcoming economic data releases add context to market dynamics.

Key Economic Metrics
🟡 While US inflation ticked up recently, driven by services and shelter costs, core measures showed some moderation. The Fed's future policy path hinges on whether inflation accelerates further or eases, particularly depending on labor...

🔴Eurozone's productivity slump poses challenges for sustainable economic expansion and price stability, underscoring the need for structural reforms and investments to boost innovation and efficiency.

China Spotlight
🔴 China's rebound in consumer inflation is clouded by persistent producer price deflation and economic headwinds. While aiming for robust growth, curbing debt-fueled investment without boosting consumption risks stagnation

GM friends to wonderful week!
Avoid buying during green weeks, focus on red weeks instead.
Historically, entering the market during 10-40% pullbacks has been a key to success in bull markets.
These pullbacks typically last just 1-4 weeks, and stocks that previously outperformed tend to rebound the strongest.
