• Euphoria at new Bitcoin all-time-highs remains short lived as price collapsed over 15% just days after, due to a shifting macro outlook and growing ETF outflows.
• Dencun upgrade goes live on Ethereum, allowing for cheaper transactions across layer 2's. This bullish catalyst falls short in terms of realised price movement as hope for an imminent approval on a spot ETH ETF dwindles.
• Solana has continued to outperform across this period, retracing less than most other altcoin's and actually rallying compared to Ether, as memecoin mania drives further retail attention to the Solana ecosystem.
