1/ Bitcoin Price VS. Trading Volume

2/ 2023 Q2 LSD Summer

Amid the turbulence of Q2, the LSD sector performed remarkably well. From the perspective of ETH staking, significant withdrawals were observed following the activation of the staking withdrawal option on April 12, with net withdrawals peaking at 400,000 ETH.

Q2 2023 marked the second MEME boom, following the first one in Q4 2021.

The aftermath of the FTX crash continued to unfold. While intensifying its crypto regulation, the SEC initiated multiple lawsuits, released guidelines, and established a crypto asset task force.

On June 13, Uniswap released a draft version of its latest V4 update. Essentially, the version represents the culmination of all the DEX innovations since the invention of AMMs, bringing user-friendly features from traditional trading to DEX transactions.
