[Prices as of 8:00 AM ET. Click here for our Fear & Greed Index]( WTF HAPPENED YESTERDAY?! ð§ WOW. What a day, huh? Popular crypto web apps were offline. Funds were being drained. It was full-on panic mode on social media⦠âThe dApps are under attack! Unplug your computer! Throw it in a lake! Hide in a bunker!â âDonât touch, look, or even think about your crypto wallet - itâll burst into flames!â If you need a visual, here ya go: So, wtf happened? - A former [Ledger]( employee [fell victim to a]([phishing attack](. - The former employee still had access to part of Ledgers' systems (wtf!), so the hacker was able to gain access to something called the Ledger Connect Kit. - Ledger Connect Kit = a library of code that lets third-party dApps connect to user's [crypto wallets](. - The hacker then uploaded malicious code that would drain users' funds if they connected to a site that used Ledger Connect Kit. (P.S. - tons of popular dApps like SushiSwap, Revoke.cash, etc. use it). As a result, ~$500,000 was stolen from crypto users and many popular dApps took their front-ends offline until the problem was fixed. So, what now? Ledger deactivated the malicious code and issued a software update for Ledger Connect Kit. It appears the worst is over. *phew* Hereâs how the crypto community is reacting to the sh*tshow:

[Try converting your crypto to cash with a few clicks!]( CRYPTOâS HOTTEST NARRATIVES AND TOKENS ð¥ New narratives are a lot like pimples⦠theyâre always popping up out of nowhere. And right now, crypto looks like a 6th grader nicknamed âPimple Peteâ - the narratives are everywhere. Real World Assets ([RWAs](). Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN). Gamble-Fi. You name it. Well, check it outâ¦we recently came across this [Dune dashboard]( showing how each of cryptoâs narratives has performed this month:
[Source: Dune (@cryptokoryo)]( A few things stick out: 1/ DeSci is the best-performing narrative so far this month. My researchers tell me there are very few DeSci tokens right now so the data might be skewed a bit, but either way, this might be a good early opportunity. 2/ Memecoins continue to dominate. $BONK (the âdogâ coin of Solana) is up [100x over the last 55 days]( and is close to entering the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap. P.S. - the new trend is to find the âDogecoin of [enter blockchain name]â. 3/ Game-Fi is starting to heat up. Although Game-Fi is lagging behind some of the other narratives, weâre seeing an increase in chatter around Web3 gaming ecosystems. Beam (+65%), Avalanche (+50%), and a few other gaming projects are up BIG this week. 4/ Real World Assets (RWAâs) are in the red this month. This was pretty surprising. Over the last few months, thereâs been a lot of talk about âtokenizing thisâ and âtokenizing thatâ, but it looks like RWAâs have started to cool off a bit. So, either: - It was just a buzzword and is now extinct, or - Money is just being rotated into other shiny narratives. Weâre thinking itâs the latter and money could eventually flow back into RWAâs. Who knows. But itâs a trend worth keeping an eye on. Milk Road Question of the Day: Weâre curiousâ¦Â What narratives/tokens are you currently looking at? Hit âreplyâ to this email to let us know!
