On episode #11 of Alpha Bites: We dive into the markets and discover they remain range-bound, with the dollar index strength capping Bitcoin's rally. JJ is watching for a reversal in the dollar to give Bitcoin some breathing room. Meanwhile, whale wallets continue accumulating Bitcoin between $27k-$30k. This suggests they are positioning for higher prices in the long-term. Ben think the normalization of the US yield curve could attract renewed interest on the risk curve if it continues. This may indicate the Fed's soft landing is on track. Kodi reviews the latest on-chain developments... A meme coin called $BALD rugged on Coinbase's Base chain, with the creator manipulating liquidity and hype to profit $5M before pulling the liquidity. A bug discovered in an old version of the Viper compiler allowed hackers to drain $60M from Curve Finance pools, highlighting risks from unaudited compilers. And the founder of Curve Finance has used 43% of the CRV supply as collateral for huge loans, putting lending protocols at risk if CRV's price falls. On the bright side, Justin Sun introduced a sketchy looking stablecoin yield project on Tron taking advantage of issues with Curve. While risky, it was a savvy marketing play. The team reviews the IRS clarifying that staking rewards are taxable may put sell pressure on staked assets like ETH and agree more regulatory clarity is still needed in crypto.
