PLUS: The SEC and Binance.US come to an agreement ð June 19, 2023 | [Read Online]( Todayâs edition is brought to you by [Origin Protocol]( - Their LSDFI Protocol OETH attracted over $23M of TVL in its first month ð GM. This is Milk Road, the crypto newsletter that's as iconic as the "Macarena" dance. And we got the moves to make your money groove. Hereâs what we got for you today: - Market movers: winners & losers ð - 2 things to watch this week ð - The SEC and Binance(US) come to an agreement ðª Prices as of 10 AM ET. WEEKLY MARKET MOVERS: WINNERS & LOSERS ð Crypto prices are hard to keep track of. Lucky for you, we just upgraded the Milk Manâs work-from-home setup⦠6 screens, all the fanciest analytics tools, and unlimited milk. He said he feels like Batman⦠And this week, he spotted 2 winners and 1 loser. Letâs dive in. THE WINNERS 1/ Sui ($SUI) is up 16% over the last week. What is it? [Sui]( is a (newer) Layer 1 blockchain that is built to be faster & cheaper than other chains. It was created by ex-Facebook developers and raised $300M from big-name VCs like a16z. Whyâs it up? Itâs been an eventful few weeks: - Announced a new proposal that would enable [liquid staking]( (AKA crypto investorsâ two favorite words nowadays.) - Signed a multi-year deal to be the official blockchain partner for the Formula One (F1) Red Bull racing team. But the biggest win for SUI? It wasnât one of the tokens named as a security in the SECâs lawsuits against [Coinbase]( and [Binance.US]( last week. Itâs like back in middle school when the loudspeaker system would randomly turn on and all your friends would get called into the Principalâs office, except you. Big win. 2/ Shiba Inu ($SHIB) is up 9% over the last week. What is it? $SHIB is a memecoin that turned into a top 20 token. Itâs the 17th largest cryptocurrency and has a $4B+ market cap. Whyâs it up? Shiba Inu developers [teased]( an upcoming product launch and a big announcement. They pulled the oleâ âwe announce that weâll have another announcement soonâ card. It worked. But be careful, it could be a âbuy the rumor, sell the newsâ event. And now, for⦠THE LOSER 1/ Cardano ($ADA) is down 7% over the last week. What is it? $ADA is the native token for Cardano - an OG blockchain that launched back in 2017. It was created by Charles Hoskinson (one of the Ethereum co-founders) and is now the 7th largest cryptocurrency with a $9B+ market cap. Whyâs it down? Itâs been a rough few weeks: - The SEC named ADA a âsecurityâ in its lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance.US - As a result, platforms like Robinhood and Bakkt delisted the token But wait, thereâs more⦠itâs also been confirmed that the Cardano founder is on the [hunt]( for aliens. He is currently near the coast of Papua New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean searching for a âUFOâ that recently crashed there. Some people pivoted away from crypto to things like AI. Others (like Charles here) went for the fun stuff - alien hunting. [LSDFi PROTOCOL OETH BECOMES A TOP 3 ETH YIELD AGGREGATOR]( One narrative has dominated headlines in 2023: Liquid Staking. Itâs the fastest growing sector of DeFi, with nearly $18B of ETH being staked with liquid staking providers so far this year. Well, now a new sector has emerged allowing users to boost their staking yield through lending and providing liquidity - we call itâ¦. LSD-Fi. Like any new sector, the competition is fierce. Thatâs why weâre watching the players who have been impacting the DeFi scene for years - players like [Origin.]( They established themselves as a DeFi powerhouse in 2017 when they launched Origin Protocol, later creating the first yield-bearing stablecoin, their own native token, and a DAO. And their LSDFi offering [OETH]( has been doing numbers: - Attracted over $23M in TVL after launching last month - Surpassed yields on stETH, rETH and frxETH with a trailing 30-day APY over 10% - Became a top 3 LSDFi yield aggregator Since yields are earned passively, users donât even have to pay gas fees. Thatâs even more earnings on your ETH. [Boost Your ETH Yield]( 2 THINGS TO WATCH THIS WEEK ð After back-to-back weeks of crypto chaos, this weekâs forecast looks to be calmer. No big Congressional hearings. No big court cases. *phew* But there are still 2 trends you should keep an eye on this week: 1/ TRADITIONAL FINANCE Last week, BlackRock dropped a bomb⦠The worldâs largest asset manager (~$10 trillion in AUM) [filed an application]( for a Bitcoin trust called iShares Bitcoin Trust. The goal? Give investors exposure to Bitcoin without [directly buying it.]( Now BlackRock just needs to wait and see if its application gets approved. (Milky Fact: BlackRockâs record of getting approved by the SEC is 575-1. Itâs the Floyd Mayweather of Finance - it doesnât lose.) Then over the weekend rumors started circulating that Fidelity is also looking to make a big move in crypto. Itâs the worldâs third largest asset manager and has⦠checks notes⦠$4 trillion in AUM. The rumor: Fidelity might apply for a Bitcoin ETF of their own or might just buy [Grayscale](. So what? If BlackRockâs application gets approved and Fidelity ends up making a move, it could be big for crypto adoption. It would let investors get easy access to crypto, in a regulated way. Just check out what happened when GLD launched. Itâs a type of service that lets investors get exposure to gold without directly buying it. [tw profile: Will Clemente] Will Clemente @WClementeIII [tw] Shown below is when GLD launched, allowing easy access to Gold exposure for investors. If/when Blackrock's (who has a 99% ETF approval) Bitcoin ETF launches (very similar structure to GLD), expect similar price action as it unlocks access to Bitcoin exposure for the masses.

Either way, looks like the big kahunas of traditional finance are coming to crypto. 2/ NFTS Itâs been an eventful week for the internetâs favorite jpegs: - An NFT called âThe Gooseâ was [sold]( for $6.2M at a Sothebyâs auction. Itâs Milk Roadâs Big Baller Buy of the Week⢠- Nike and Fornite are collabing on a new digital release and dropped a [teaser video]( that included Nikeâs dot swoosh NFT platform. According to Nikeâs creative director, the collab will feature Nike-designed skins, cosmetics, and special rewards for .Swoosh members. NFTs have had a rough year, but big buys and big partnerships are two things that will make noise and help bring attention to the industry. Itâs like when you host a party with a banger playlist (AKA Drake on repeat) - the neighbors are bound to come out and see what all the noise is from.
