GM, can you smell the vibe shift?

Even though, by now, it smells like a crack pipe passed around between Ether heads desperate for hopium, last night's market dump revealed a few intriguing tidbits.

For one, ETH/BTC was the biggest benefactor, green dildoing its way back to 0.05. Second, the two strongest gainers from the top 100 were Maker and AAVE, two pillars of the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem.

Our readers know about the strengths of Maker and AAVE from past issues, so we won’t go deeper here, but there are a few things to consider.

AAVE is currently on its way to pulling on the fee switch, finally transforming the “useless governance token” into an on-chain, yield-bearing asset. 

In front of us, we’ve got a potential future where Gary Gensler ends his gremlin-like attempts to drive DeFi out of the USA.

Then there is Larry Fink, literally shilling the tokenization narrative, which is closely tied to projects like Chainlink and the already mentioned Maker. We all know BlackRock gets what it wants; money talks first. 

Realizing these shifts, we need to start speculating about something that not many people are considering during the so-called “meme coin supercycle.” And it is a massive comeback of DeFi. Honestly, I’m here for it, and I’m ready.

MKR/USDT 3D Binance Log Chart

Very similar to yesterday’s $SOL setup, this is the same 10/20 MA crossover trend trade on the same 3D timeframe for $MKR. Previously, this gave a long trigger at $1500 that topped at $4k. The exit signal came after the top at $3k, but if you look at RSI, there is a big bear div into the $4k high, which is a great early exit signal.

This 10/20 cross has just triggered again, with the price sitting on top of both MAs (bullish). With their Endgame roadmap, RWA integrations, SubDAOs, and AI tooling, $MKR is undergoing massive development.

Welcome to RadQuest

If you’ve ever tried to drag someone into the world of crypto, you know it’s quite a Herculean task. Ease of use and especially the onboarding process is exactly what RadQuest.io aims to solve. 

RadQuest is a gamified, fully mobile Web 3 onboarding platform created by Radix together with ustwo, the award-winning digital studio behind Monument Valley.

As you can see below, RadQuest's mobile experience mimics the familiar UIs we know and are familiar with rather than the usual crypto wallet shenanigans. 

The rewarded RadQuest campaign is part of Radix Network's broader growth push, which is currently seeing substantial ecosystem expansion.

For example, the TVL rose 76% within two weeks after Project Ignition, a $10M liquidity initiative for the Radix Network designed to enhance liquidity.

RadQuest's mobile onboarding experience is also closely related to the recently launched Radix Connect, which enables Radix users to use all ecosystem dApps seamlessly on their phones.

• Join RadQuest.io, earn free NFTs and $20 in XRD tokens

Finally, for me personally, Radix checks all the boxes of an undervalued project. $294m is very little, considering that projects of this magnitude were at least around $10b last cycle.

I’m making a big note here for myself, and you let me know what you think!
