Andy's Alpha #21: The Whispers of The Upcoming Bull Market
Early opportunities I've heard of, builders delivering alpha, timely releases coming soon, and state of things!
Andy’s Alpha is free. It will always be. If you wanna support my work feel free to upgrade to a paid sub below:
The whispers of the bull market are starting to be heard by those over at CoinTelegraph, apparently.
Their social media manager nearly kickstarted a full blown BTC bull market…until:
Oh, well. It was a taste of what will happen when this ETF will get approved. I think there’s a strong chance the ETF gets approved within the next 3 months, with the deadline being around early January.
Definitely an exciting time in the space (Q4), but an uneasy time in the world. Portfolio managers basically have to expand their timeframes to mitigate the portfolio volatility in the immediate/short term. One thing I learned from Dave The Wave is that randomness is apparent on shorter time frames, whereas trends appear on longer time frames.
As any investor would say, zoom out!
Today’s article is a bit more of a “zoom in” at some of the pressing matters ongoing in the crypto space today, some cool opportunities, and highlighting the space in a positive way.
Lets go!
OKU is the official sponsor of Andy’s Alpha.
Oku is dope. It takes the best mechanics of Uniswap v3 (concentrated liquidity) and makes it similar to trading on a CEX basically. No fees for you. When Andy sees no fees for his frens, he supports. If you’re gonna trade on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, or Optimism AND now zkSync, so farm yourself a 🪂 and gib it a shot. It even has a BitMEX-esque chatbox, except Arthur isn’t trading against you.
Maybe you’ll meet a whale who will help you navigate the onchain dark forest. Or maybe a gf. Mega based. If you don’t try, you’ll never know. Jump in here.
SpiralDAO is the official sponsor of Andy’s Alpha.
I’ve been speaking with the team tons and I am excited about what’s to come for SpiralDAO. Now? You can earn good yield and provide liquidity to ensure $veMAV liquidity! Yields may change, but the idea is you can get minimal IL and get yield + exposure to MAV, should you want that.
Guuud UI/UX, guuud tech, smart team, easy to work with.
Get started with the high liquid locker yields here.
