It's So Over
In Partnership with Vector Reserve
Vector just announced a minting partnership with Swell Network, one of the leading liquid staking protocols with over $845mm of TVL for their swETH product. Swell is offering a bonus of 30 Pearls per 1 $vETH minted to users who mint $vETH with $swETH or $rswETH and Vector is matching with 2x vPoints. Mint now to take advantage of this offer.
It’s So Over
The presale meta and SOL degen volumes marked not only an altcoin top, but also a marketwide top. The majors have fallen over 15% from their highs a little over a week ago, and most onchain alts have lost 30%+ of their value over the past day. The AI leaders like TAO have sold off ~8% following the NVDA conference, while the meme “majors” have mostly looked weak (except for PEPE).
Maybe this is what we deserve after sending over $122mm of funds to “presale” random addresses. SOL degens have not given up, and have traded a whopping $252mm of volume today after likely peaking yesterday at $664mm! Bonkbot led volumes with $251mm yesterday, followed by Sol Trading Bot and Trojan (each with $100mm+).
$9bn of open interest has been wiped since the March 14th peak after another $1bn of liquidations over the past 3 days, including $665m in the past 24 hours.
Despite the marketwide pullback, we’ve seen strength in quite a few onchain coins over the past 24hr, including:
Solcasino +166%
NORMIE +102%
RING +80%
SLERF +80%
MDAI +79%
ZYN +37%
TEQ +36%
YIELD +33%
There is talk of a FTM rotation with the token up ~11% today. In the past 6 hours, we’ve seen chainEDGE smart money rotating into BOO and EQUAL on the chain. Other notable flows were seen into ONDO, MOG and SENDIT.
From a holdings perspective, AI, DePin and memecoin BITCOIN are the current smart money favorites, measured by number of $10k+ holders. Within this group, TEQ and BITCOIN are the most notable in my opinion. TEQ is a newer, lower market cap coin while BITCOIN hasn’t been in the top 10 for some time (and is showing notable strength in 7d accumulation %s).
Looking over at SOL, SLERF, BOME and POPCAT led smart money inflows today → though its notable that BOME and POPCAT saw a more bullish skew of buy $ vs. sell.
WHAT TO WATCH TODAY
Base Memes - BRETT, NORMIE, BRIUN and DOGINME all have held up very well despite the marketwide pullback. NORMIE in particular has doubled over the last 24hr to $108mm FDV.
Crypto Valleys - this Defi Kingdoms looking project on Blast has been somewhat under the radar until now, with the token hitting ATH and the project hitting a $63mm FDV.
SLERF - With so much attention on this project, it could be going higher. The Jupiter team is donating some of its fees to cover presale participants and we have seen other crypto companies like Lbank asking for donations to help SLERF presalers
Weak New Launch Market - On the EVM side of the world, the new launch market has cooled off, with the notable exception of Sendit today
Follow The Strength - Outside of themes already discussed, project specific strength in tokens like Solcasino, RING, MDAI, ZYN and TEQ should be noted in this pullback
FTM Szn? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen smart money aping FTM tokens, and given the strength in both FTM and eco coins like BOO, it may just be getting started
