We find ourselves amidst intriguing times in the world of crypto. The industry remains influenced by a variety of factors, from macroeconomic factors such as the US debt ceiling discussions to sector-specific narratives (Memecoins, AI tokens, Bitcoin NFTs, etc.).
While the market continues to evolve, one prevailing trend suggests that LSDFi (Liquid Staking Derivatives) activities may dominate the upcoming season. However, as we know, the crypto landscape is known for its unpredictability, and it only takes a single significant event to reshape the entire ecosystem.
