GM Lens!

Today's sentiment canvas: solid green. Bullish! The next question is that where's the local top.

• Bitcoin is above 66k, while Ethereum is still struggling around 3k, alts are still relatively weak.

• GME FOMO seems to be topped (for now). I closed my Solana & Base GME meme positions as well.

• Things are still uncertain, I still can't see the real bull narrative - us election campaings could heat up things in the next month though. On the other hand, I don't expect huge dumps as well. 60-63k zone is a strong resistance.

Alex Cutler and Ace are Core Contributors at Aerodrome and Velodrome.

In this episode, we discuss whether Aerodrome and Velodrome can dethrone Uniswap. Alex and Ace share why these popular ve(3,3) AMMs continue to capture a significant portion of Uniswap’s dominance on Base and Optimism, and how they’ve set the bar for teams championing the anti-VC sentiment with zero fees, no VC backing, and no major team unlocks.
