Sentiment is down, and critics have been quick to point out ETH's underperformance against SOL while largely attributing this to a perceived loss of mindshare and users to L2s.

This narrative has sparked a crucial debate: Are L2s Ethereum?

arjunnchand
brings the analysis...

========================================

🤔 Symbiotic or Separatist?
L2s have been a core component of Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap from the very beginning. They were envisioned as extensions (technical and cultural) of Ethereum, designed to expand its capabilities and attract a broader user base.

At their core, L2s are deeply linked with Ethereum. They share its DNA — relying on ETH as the currency, benefitting from Ethereum's security blanket, and utilizing it for data storage and settlement. It's like a startup leveraging its parent company's infrastructure and brand recognition, a win-win for both.

The symbiotic relationship between L2s and Ethereum is undeniable. L2s thrive on Ethereum's infrastructure and security, while Ethereum benefits from the increased activity and increased demand for ETH, making it a better store of value.

By offering lower fees and faster transaction times, L2s have made it easier for developers to build different types of applications. Look at the explosion of memecoins on Base or the rise of SocialFi platforms like Farcaster creating new markets for users.

Beyond that, L2s are becoming major hubs for DeFi activity, and ETH, the asset, is at the heart of this ecosystem. Look at the numbers:
arbitrum
,
Optimism
,
@base
— these chains are dominated by ETH-related assets.

🧛‍♂️ Vampire attack?
However, one of the primary arguments against the rollup-centric approach to scaling Ethereum is the assumption that L2s may not continue to rely on Ethereum. Sure, L2s and Ethereum seem like a happy family now. But what if L2s build their own empires and ditch Ethereum altogether? No more relying on Ethereum for security, no more ETH as gas, not even needing Ethereum's block space.

This "L2s go rogue" fear is a legitimate concern. Technically, they could build independent ecosystems with their own validators as they would then be able to own the entire modular blockchain stack. So, is this the future – a messy breakup between L2s and Ethereum? Not necessarily.

We can all agree that there are perhaps a few too many L2s. Too many copycats. Too little differentiation. It's like a thousand startups chasing the same market, all promising the same thing. This isn't healthy.

What we need are L2s that matter. L2s that offer something unique, something that sets them apart. Security, app diversity, GTM strategy — these are the areas where we need to see real innovation.

But we must be wary of ‘echo chambers’. These zones of chains should not become isolated universes. A healthy L2 ecosystem is one where chains work together, not in isolation. We need bridges, not moats.

We need collaboration. We need communication. We need education. We need incentives. We need to build shared infrastructure and standards that foster seamless connectivity across L2s. Only then can we truly win together.

💭 Closing Thoughts
You can say that L2s aren’t Ethereum. You can argue L2s aren’t even extensions of Ethereum. But you cannot deny the fact that L2s enhance the utility of Ethereum and ETH.

The "L2s vs. Ethereum" debate is a false dichotomy. This isn't a zero-sum game. Ultimately, Ethereum and L2s are in this together. Let's build a future where Ethereum and L2s thrive as a symbiotic whole, and push the crypto ecosystem forward.

Crypto markets have suffered noticeable pullbacks following September 10’s highly anticipated presidential debate.

In the wake of self-proclaimed ‘Crypto President’ Donald Trump’s performance, scales have tipped in favor of Kamala Harris, with prediction markets illustrating renewed support for the Democrats.

Crypto Markets Tumble as Republican Confidence Wanes
The presidential debate had a resounding effect on the digital asset market. Following the event, $SOL price has dropped 5.1%, sliding from September 10’s high of $137 .9 to currently trade hands at $130 .84.

Beyond asset prices, CoinMarketCap’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index also dropped from a neutral 46.72 to a fearful ranking of 31.6.

The crypto market’s slide is expected to be due to the wider industry’s assumption that a Trump presidency will be favorable for the blockchain industry.

Commentators argue that Trump’s pro-crypto stance will greatly benefit the sector, with many analysts proposing that the approval of a spot SOL ETF hinges on a Republican victory. Meanwhile, some Solana community members expressed that regardless of who emerges triumphant in November, it will make little difference.

Over the past four years, the Biden administration has loomed large over the crypto industry. Gary Gensler and the S.E.C. (Securities and Exchanges Commission) have been widely criticized by the crypto community for their regulation-by-enforcement approach, which has seen the agency hand out a litany of lawsuits to crypto businesses throughout its time in office.

Volume Spikes on Drift Protocol’s Prediction Market
While Trump and Harris clashed heads on camera, traders took their chance to hit the prediction markets. Drift Protocol’s BET platform, a marketplace enabling users to trade the outcomes of real-world events, enjoyed an impressive surge of trading volume during the debate.

According to Dune Analytics, Drift Protocol’s BET protocol witnessed over $851k in daily trading volume. While falling short of market leader PolyMarket’s $14M daily volume, BET’s dramatic volume spike represented a 1,287% increase over the previous day’s trading.

According to BET’s dedicated market, Trump’s chances of winning the presidential election dropped from 54.2% to 49.5% since the debate began.

$TREMP Down, $KAMA Up
Finally, the landmark debate sent waves of volatility through Solana’s PolitiFi memecoin economy.

Unfortunately for $TREMP holders, crypto markets rejected the Presidential hopeful’s debate performance. $TREMP price crumbled under increased selling pressure, plunging 28% from.19 to currently exchange hands at.135, based on Step Finance data.

Meanwhile, the Kamala Harris-inspired $KAMA saw renewed support. $KAMA surged over 34%, rising from 0.007 to currently trade at.0094. Despite $KAMA’s superior performance, the memecoin still has a smaller market cap ($8.3M) than its PolitiFi rival $TREMP ($14.2M).

If the government was a real business it would have been bankrupt a long time ago. The only thing keeping it going is the fact that people pay their taxes out of fear of going to jail if they don't (violence) and most importantly THE MAGIC MONEY PRINTER.

Further proof of the charade: the US government has hired 87,000 new agents to collect taxes with an average salary of 100k/year.

So this cost taxpayers $8 .7 billion and these agents managed to collect $1 .3 billion.

So, a deficit of -$7.4 billion... which will be paid by taxpayers. And of course the government will boast about having collected $1 .3 billion more in taxes.

How did we get here?

Patience & quality over quantity 🤫

After the euphoric highs of Q2, fear and doubt have crept back into crypto markets in recent months.

Amidst the uncertainty Solana’s DeFi ecosystem has shed layers of TVL (Total Value Locked), with the majority of protocol’s losing between 13-18% in USD value on a monthly time frame.

However, despite the market-wide pullback, outperformers have emerged. Which protocols created a liquidity vacuum and expanded their TVL despite ailing markets?

NX FINANCE, LULO LEAD MONTHLY TVL GROWTH
Solana’s DeFi scene has enjoyed newfound momentum and attention throughout 2024. However, the last 30 days indicate a charge in sentiment, with the bulk of Solana protocols suffering significant drops in their TVL.

Despite challenging conditions, several outliers have outperformed the wider market and witnessed continued growth in the face of adversity.

Lending aggregator NX Finance led the charge, enjoying consistent growth in the face of difficult markets. Courtesy of its incentivized rewards program, NX Finance TVL rose 65% in the last 30 days, leading Solana’s top 50 DeFi applications by TVL.

Meanwhile, fellow lending aggregator Lulo Finance continued to rise through the ranks, securing over $30M in Directed Liquidity (DL). With over 92% of its DL, a similar metric similar to TVL, held in stablecoins, Lulo-managed value has increased by 32.27% in the last 30 days.

At first glance, DeFiLlama data suggests that Jupiter’s TVL has risen by 47.22% in the last 30 days. However, this increase is due to the popular analytics platform integrating $jupSOL into Jupiter’s total TVL on August 16, adding approximately $300M worth of funds to the platform.

According to Step Finance data, $jupSOL supply has risen 0.36% in the last 30 days. Coupled with the 2.22% decline in Jupiter perpetual TVL in the same time period, it can be concluded that Jupiter’s total TVL has remained relatively stable in the face of challenging market conditions.

Kamino TVL Climbs Despite Falling Prices
Kamino Finance has been one of Solana DeFi’s most solid performers throughout Q3’s volatility. While lending aggregators like NX Finance and Lulo predominantly hold stablecoins, making them more resilient to market downturn, Kamino accepts deposits from a wider range of more volatile assets.

Despite falling asset prices across the industry, Kamino has emerged as one of Solana’s standout DeFi protocols.

While $SOL price has dropped over 36% since its March 18 high of $202 , Kamino TVL has increased by 12% in USD terms. Denominated in SOL, Kamino TVL has risen by 76% in the same time frame.

JUPITER DOMINATES PERPETUAL TVL ACROSS THE INDUSTRY
Jupiter’s perpetual DEX platform shows no sign of relinquishing its iron grip on derivatives dominance. One of Solana’s largest DeFi protocols, Jupiter’s perpetual DEX is currently the largest onchain derivatives market in the crypto industry.

Boasting over $657M in TVL, Jupiter dominates perpetual market share. According to DeFiLlama data, the Solana-based platform currently accounts for 18.82% of onchain derivatives TVL across the industry.

While Jupiter boasts the highest TVL across all perpetual DEXes, its closest rival still witnesses higher trading volumes. During August, Hyperliquid handled $34 .6B in trading volume compared to Jupiter’s $15 .1B. It’s worth noting that Hyperliquid’s high volume could attributed to its points program, which is expected to influence token allocations ahead of the protocol’s upcoming airdrop

Magic Eden, Solana’s leading NFT marketplace by trading volume, has surprised network participants with an unexpected announcement.

On September 5, the crypto juggernaut revealed it would be splitting its trading platform into two separate sites, Magic Eden International and Magic Eden US.

The move has drawn skepticism from the wider community, who speculate that the regulatory landscape in the U.S. could impact user eligibility for Magic Eden’s highly-anticipated airdrop.

MAGIC EDEN'S U.S. USERS FEAR AIRDROP EXCLUSION
In the official announcement, Magic Eden posited that the U.S. site “will still have great products you know and love while .IO [the international site] will give us the ability to cook up (and sauté) even more features…”, suggesting that the U.S. platform will offer a limited range of services compared to its international equivalent.

Magic Eden users have expressed concerns that these limitations could extend to airdrop eligibility. Throughout the year, Solana users based in the United States have frequently found themselves unable to claim tokens due to geographic restrictions.

Due to regulatory concerns and the ongoing scrutiny of the SEC (Securities and Exchanges Commission), many crypto projects, like Sanctum and Grass, avoid distributing airdropped tokens to U.S. users.

Regulatory clarity around NFTs and digital assets were further exacerbated in late August, when the SEC issued a Wells notice to OpenSea, an alternative NFT marketplace.

Claiming that the platform facilitated the sale of unregistered securities, the notice serves as a preliminary warning and often precedes formal legal action.

In what could be considered a tongue-in-cheek gag, the official Magic Eden 𝕏 account also added a playful line to it’s bio, stipulating that “Tweets are only for non US Residents”.

SolanaFloor engaged the Magic Eden Foundation for clarity sounding the airdrop eligibility of its U.S. users. At press time, the Magic Eden Foundation declined to respond.

$ME TRADES AT.20 DESPITE LACK OF TOKENOMIC CLARITY
Since the initial announcement of the Magic Eden airdrop, pre-market trading for $ME has witnessed volatility. After opening at.08 on August 28, $ME pre-market prices rose as high as.24 before stabilizing at.20.

Despite attracting over $700 ,000 in trading volume, pre-market trading platform Whales Market has been criticized for opening a market for a coin with an unknown supply.

Without any publicly revealed tokenomics, pre-market traders are speculating on $ME at unknown valuations, which could lead to significant losses for participants.

COINGECKO NAMES MAGIC EDEN CRYPTO’S LARGEST NFT MARKETPLACE
Despite 2024’s NFT market suffering challenging conditions and diminishing volumes throughout the year, Magic Eden has managed to reassert its position as the industry’s top marketplace.

Coingecko, a popular cryptocurrency analysis site, recently declared Magic Eden as 2024’s top NFT marketplace. Boasting 36.7% market share, much of Magic Eden’s success this year could be credited to its adoption of the Bitcoin ecosystem, including its integration of Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, and Runes.

We are 180 days into a correction since we made an ATH in Bitcoin and market sentiment is worse than when BTC was at 15K.

Ethereum has lost nearly $250 billion in market cap over the summer, even with ETFs coming to market.

And what happened?

> Massive exits and sales by Grayscale.
> Massive MT.GOX distributions.
> Mass distributions from the United States.
> Germany selling +50,000 BTC.

And what is to come?

> US interest rate cuts.
> Gradual increase in global liquidity.
> United States elections.
> FTX Refunds (+$16B).

And all this with stablecoins reaching all-time highs.

Is this the end? Are we all going to die?

I don't believe it.

For me nothing has changed.

Nobody said the bull market was going to be easy.

The best, for me, is yet to come.

You already know what happened next, the times when the feeling was as shattered and terrifying as the one we are experiencing now.

The difficult moments are what separate babies with poop on their butts from legends.

Everyone is very pro, everyone is very cocky, very gangster and very brave until it is time to buy the dip when at all hours they say that we are going to visit lower areas and everyone is terrified and with their balls in their throat.

We've all heard "If you come down to X area I'm going to put my house in your house" then they come down and shit their pants and don't buy.

It seems like a meme, but it is not.

There is something that will never change.

> The vast majority of people will sell out of fear.
> The vast majority of people will buy out of euphoria.

And it is certainly the fastest way to lose money in this market.

Sorry, I didn't make up the rules of the game.

The road will be long and there will be monsters and corpses along the way, just try not to make it yours.

The bull market is not over.

They just want to steal your magic internet coins so that when they spend billions on marketing, they can buy them back at an exorbitant price.

Nothing has changed.

Patience, conviction, buy the dip & chill 🏝️

💬 “No innovator will ever build new tools if he knows he can be held personally liable for any misuse of those tools.”

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has spoken publicly for the first time since his arrest.

BullVerse Update

BullPad
There have been numerous inquiries regarding BullPad, and we would like to address them. After careful consideration, the team has decided that launching BullPad at this time would not be beneficial. The market sentiment remains highly bearish, trading volumes across financial markets are low, and overall uncertainty persists. Furthermore, Pump.fun’s volume has decreased by 95% from its all-time high. All signs indicate that this is not the ideal time to release a launchpad. However, we remain fully committed to launching it when market conditions are more favorable.

BullPay
BullPay is currently in beta (available at bullpay.fun). As well-needed solution in the space, it is connected to a lot of upcoming features inisde the platform. BullPay will serve not only as a marketplace but also as a crypto payment gateway, like Stripe or PayPal for crypto transactions. We developed an API kit allowing our partners to get paid from their website or mobile app.

Activity Rewards & User Experience
We are still working on developing a sustainable, more gamified and automated solution for activity rewards. Once this is finalized, we will announce it, and automated payouts will resume.

The BullVerse Ecosystem
It’s important to note that BullVerse is a long-term project. We are continually enhancing user, partner, and community engagement. As with any major project, development will unfold progressively rather than all at once.

Communication
The team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to improve the BullVerse ecosystem daily. Many individuals are involved, and significant resources have been invested in this project. Our commitment is unwavering, and we continue to expand our network by forming strategic partnerships, which are crucial for long-term growth. The vision is clear and we are enjoying the journey.

Teasers
Our primary focus has been on laying a strong foundation by creating a stable platform that incorporates both incentives and crypto utilities. Our main goal is to deliver a clear and practical use case that attracts the visibility BullVerse deserves. As a utility project, we view this as a key driver of our success: BullVerse should not just be about content, but also a hub where crypto enthusiasts can speculate, win, lose, be rewarded, and find their community. Something exciting is coming very soon..

Bullish times are ahead,

Mercuryo, a Web3 payments provider, has announced the rollout of Spend, a virtual debit card promising to streamline crypto payments.

Complete with Apple Pay and Google Pay compatibility, Spend facilitates payments directly from Solana wallets to over 90M Mastercard merchants across the globe.

WHAT IS SPEND??
Mercuryo’s Spend allows wallet apps to integrate virtual Mastercard debit cards directly into their applications. Through the Spend Card, Mercury promises to enable the crypto community to use their crypto assets to “spend on anything. Anytime. Anywhere.”

Spend aims to provide a fast and cost-effective method for crypto users to convert and spend their digital assets from their wallets. Beyond the simplicity of Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Google Pay integration, Spend also offers card customization, meaning wallet providers can incorporate their logos into virtual cards.

Spend is fully self-custodial, meaning users have full control over any assets deposited into the card account. Additionally, the platform offers multi-chain support, including Solana, Ethereum, and PolkaDot.

As part of the announcement, Mercuryo teased that several leading Web3 wallets will be adding Spend in the near future. SolanaFloor engaged Mercuryo for comment on the matter but is yet to receive a response.

Why Web3 Needs Better Off-Ramps
Since the birth of the industry, crypto companies have focused tirelessly on streamlining the flow of funds into decentralized economies. According to Mercuryo, “on-ramping is now a user-friendly process, and users can purchase crypto with ease.”

While onboarding has become easier with exchanges and third-party apps readily available, bringing funds back into the real world still poses significant barriers. Mercuryo argues that the biggest struggles facing crypto off-ramping are:

1. Poor UX of existing solutions - Users need to jump through a variety of hoops to withdraw funds. Many platforms are only available in certain regions and popular offboarding platforms offer limited support outside of mainstream cryptos.

2. Bank restrictions - Traditional banks often block payments from crypto-related companies and freeze accounts suspected of interacting with cryptocurrency.

3. Extortionate fees - Third-party apps and intermediaries can charge high fees on crypto-to-fiat withdrawals, discouraging users from transferring funds.

Slow processing times - After becoming accustomed to rapid, permissionless transfers onchain, crypto-to-fiat withdrawals can feel slow and cumbersome.

While the industry loves to discuss and promote progress and efforts toward crypto onboarding, finding seamless methods of getting funds off-chain is equally important.

Mercuryo’s commitment to simplified crypto off-ramps helps to legitimize digital currencies as meaningful financial tools. Through the Spend card, millions of crypto users may be able to enjoy improved access to their funds in real-world contexts, solidifying the role of cryptocurrency in the Web2 world

Markets just took a turn 📉
What happened and where are we going?

Bull over? 😞

Heres what you need to know: 👇

🚨Market Breadth is flashing warning signs, with MMMTH, MMMFI, and MMMTW indicators suggesting a potential rotation out of risk. When combined with other indicators such as market fear/greed being neutral, AAII sentiment being 2% off its 1 year bullish high, its likely we will see a rotation out of risk such as crypto - paving a short opportunity for risky assets in crypto (political tokens, meme tokens etc)

https://www.tradingview.co.../

📉 #DXY retest of trend line on broad market pullbacks/weakness. Bearish continuation expected until EOY. Short term upside, longer term downside. 96 on DXY still on the table.

https://www.tradingview.co.../

📈 #SPY breadth is peaking on the 200, 50, and 20 D (see market breadth above)

When the market is running low on breadth, there will be some rotation or correction. Selling expensive stocks for cheaper ones (most likely cyclical's) will cause some selling pressure on the bigger names like NVDA, AAPL etc. Expect sidways choppiness for the majority of the market.

Ichimoku still indicating bullish continuation. Q4 will be good. Target at 6000 remains.

Bear case:
1. SPY breadth running out of steem
2. SPY seasonal weakness in September
3. BTC is below 20 W EMA, 50/200 D MA bearish cross
4. BTC Weekly close below the ichimoku cloud.

📉 #eth still lagging behind. Alts in general will enjoy a beating as BTC chops/declines.

2k retest is on the horizon.
