When it comes to mood swings and stalker-like tendencies, crypto users are starting to feel uncomfortably similar to Martha from Baby Reindeer. They have been the fixated, wide-eyed Martha constantly bombarding Bitcoin forums and Crypto Twitter with talks about pending bull runs and life-changing gains. Even a minor rally is being obsessively overanalyzed for any hint that this time, the relationship will finally be consummated. But much like Martha's unsettling obsession with Donny, crypto users' hopes only intensify when the prices experience a decline. While experts are still predicting a bull run to kick off soon, feeding into the community's unshakeable convictions, we're here to keep our users updated on everything crypto. So for today's TLDR on the stories moving the markets: |
- LayerZero kicks off airdrop engines. But how many tokens are we talking about, and who's eligible for this airdrop?
- Fed leaves interest rates unchanged. But did this move impact crypto?
- BlackRock's $47M tokenization bet. But what's their grand plan with this funding round?
- Bitcoin Layer-2 Boom? What's driving this sudden surge of activity?
