What’s Next for DRIFT After 500% Volume Surge on Upbit?From Airdrop to Airborne | DRIFT Token Soars Like a Rocket !
The governance token DRIFT from Solana based decentralized exchange Drift Protocol is currently gaining attention after being listed on an exchange. On November 8, the South Korean exchange Upbit announced that DRIFT would be listed at 18:00 KST, with trading pairs in Bitcoin , USDT, and the Korean Won also Bianance will add DRIFTUSDT Perpetual Contract as well
This development triggered a 500% increase in trading volume for DRIFT which is insane, accompanied by an 90% price rise. Now trading at $0.91, this strong surge mirrors past trends observed with other tokens listed on Upbit.
In May 2024, the Drift Foundation launched DRIFT, its new governance token, through an airdrop of 120 million tokens 12% of the initial 1 billion DRIFT supply plus a bonus of 20 million tokens was included in the distribution, exceeding the original planned supply.
Drift Protocol’s co founder, Cindy Leow, explained that the bonus aimed to prevent network congestion and premature sales, enhancing the user experience and rewarding loyal traders.
Drift Protocol supports perpetual futures trading on the Solana Network, and DRIFT allows holders to propose and vote on governance improvements by staking.
The daily chart shows the Bollinger Bands widening, indicating increased volatility around DRIFT. However, the token’s price has reached the upper BB band, signaling potential overbought conditions, as reflected in the Relative Strength Index
The RSI currently stands at 78, which, being above 70, suggests an overbought asset. This indicates that DRIFT's price could undergo a short term correction, potentially dropping to $0.70. However, if buying pressure persists and profit-taking remains low, the altcoin may continue climbing, possibly surpassing $1
Alt szn just started and now is the best time for gem hunting

Is your ETH and SOL working for you !?The crypto market never sleeps which means leaving your holdings stagnant could mean missing out on significant opportunities.
So it’s time to ask yourself:
Are your assets maximizing their potential, or are they just gathering virtual dust?
You wouldn’t leave all your money in a low interest savings account, so why do it with your crypto?
The idea is to put your investments to work, so they keep earning returns without you lifting a finger. I’ll walk you through exactly how to read it and use it to your advantage.
But that’s just the beginning, we’ll also be covering:
-Yield strategies: A breakdown of the strategies we use to generate yield.
-Pros and cons: The advantages and drawbacks of each strategy.
Not sure what options are best for you?
Are you letting your capital sit idle?
Worried about security risks?
This analysis is about to change that .I’ll show you how to maximize your returns and crush those security fears, so you can confidently put your assets to work
Let's dive right in and kick things off with the ‘crowd favorite’ of yield strategies: staking
Staking is exclusive to Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains and their associated tokens.
Meaning you cannot gain staking yield from Bitcoin, for example, because it is a Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain. by staking your tokens like CRYPTOCAP:ETH or CRYPTOCAP:SOL , you receive a portion of newly minted tokens, effectively earning yield while playing a vital role in securing the network.
If you’re not staking, you could be missing out on significant gains, with potential returns ranging from 3% to 18% APY. that’s why many investors choose to stake their assets rather than let them sit idle
Staking has become a widely adopted strategy, with staking ratios (amount staked vs. unstaked) sitting between 20% and 80% on most POS blockchains In fact, a staggering $520 billion is currently staked across the top PoS blockchains, underscoring its popularity as a method for generating additional income.
Assuming an average 5% reward rate, that equates to $25 billion in staking rewards. That’s massive.
Despite the appeal of earning extra income through staking, becoming a solo staker can be technically challenging which is why staking providers like Lido, Rocket Pool, and Jito have emerged.
They handle network validation for the rest of us, while maximizing our staking yield.
Let’s break down the pros and cons of using a staking provider:
Pros:
✅ Security and efficiency: Our tokens are put to work securely and efficiently, contributing to the network’s security without us having to manage it all ourselves.
✅ Maximized rewards: We earn the majority of staking rewards without needing to handle the technical complexities, making it a hassle-free way to generate income.
✅ Liquidity retention: We receive liquid tokens as proof of our staked assets, allowing us to stay flexible and use them in other DeFi opportunities.
Cons:
❌ Fees: These providers typically charge a fee ranging from 8% to 25% for their validation services, which can slightly reduce your overall yield.
❌ Smart contract risks: There are inherent risks associated with smart contracts, such as bugs and/or vulnerabilities, that could potentially impact your staked assets.
By weighing these pros and cons, you can decide whether outsourcing your staking through liquid staking providers is the right strategy for you.
Ok, so if that’s the case how do we go about choosing the right liquid staking provider?
Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a provider:
1/ Reputation and security
Track record: Look for providers with a solid track record and a strong reputation in the DeFi space.
Security measures: Ensure the provider employs robust security measures, such as smart contract audits.
2/ Total volume locked
TVL: Check how much liquidity your chosen provider has attracted.
TVL is a quick and effective measure of the broader market's trust in a provider, as it reflects the total amount of assets currently staked or locked in their protocol, valued in dollars.
Feel free to use DefiLlama, which ranks all liquid staking providers by TVL.
Simply select the blockchain you’re interested in, and you’ll see the top players in the space, giving you a clear view of where the most assets are being staked and which providers are leading the market.
3/ Yield rates
Competitive yields: Compare the staking yields offered by different providers. While higher yields are attractive, they should not come at the expense of security or reliability.
Fee structure: Be aware of the fee structure. Liquid staking providers typically charge a small fee for their services, which can impact your overall returns.
4/ Liquidity and flexibility
Liquid staking tokens (LSTs): Check if the liquid tokens issued by the provider are widely accepted across DeFi platforms and have enough liquidity. The more integration and liquidity these tokens have, the better.
Redemption options: Some providers offer instant or flexible redemption options for your staked tokens, which can be crucial if you need quick access to your assets.
5/ Decentralization and governance
Decentralization: Providers that are more decentralized tend to be more resilient to risks such as regulatory actions or central points of failure.
Governance participation: Some providers offer governance rights with their tokens, allowing you to have a say in the protocol’s future direction. This can be an added benefit for those interested in being more involved in the ecosystem.
6/ Community and support
Active Community: A strong, active community can be a good indicator of a provider’s health and future prospects. Engage with the community to gauge the level of transparency and support.
so while you trading and trying to maximize your gains Its good to stake some of your HODL bag as well

Buterin & ETH Foundation sell ETH ! but why?Is ETH price about to Fall ?
Ethereum Foundation's large scale selling in recent years record and recently the Ethereum Foundation sold 15,000 ETH . In 2021, EF did sell 20,000 ETH at a high point
Vitalik .eth wallet was the first to move 200 Ethereum (worth about 400k) to the US based Kraken exchange. following Buterin's transaction, the Ethereum Foundation did the same but on a much bigger scale, they shifted 15,000 ETH to Kraken as well. together with Buterin's crypto, that makes 40 million USD in fiat
It seems that Buterin just sells Ethereum from time to time in more or less the same amounts , in the middle of February, he sold 210 ETH for roughly 325k in the USDC
that chunk of ETH was also sold on Kraken too. Back then, Ethereum was trading at 1,545 dollar. On March 13, he moved another 200 ETH to Kraken, selling it at the price of 1,656 per coin
On Friday that ETH had reached an eight month high in flows to crypto exchanges, the analytics team believes that this may be a sign of an upcoming volatility increase similar to what it was like after the collapse of FTX in early November and the Merge in mid September. In a tweet that followed, Santiment added that while "sky-high active deposits" of ETH to exchanges are the highest since November last year, ETH is now showing signs of decoupling from BTC and may be about to break above the $2,000 level.
A record amount of ETH was burned at the end of this week, that was down to the meme coin season unwrapping at the moment, as you knoq the majority of meme coins like PEPE or Floki run on Ethereum and so are being actively moved with high ETH fees, providing a great opportunity to burn ETH and decrease the circulating supply.
The Ethereum Foundation holds around 0.298% of the total ETH supply which in today’s market cap, that would put the value of the foundation’s ETH holdings at nearly 700 million dollar
In total, the foundation said that ETH accounts for 80.5% of its crypto and non crypto holdings, many have quickly pointed out that previous large-scale ETH selloffs by the foundation have preempted market downturns.
In November 2021, the foundation sold a cache of 20,000 ETH worth around $9.6 billion,this was swiftly followed by a major price correction as the market accommodated the increased circulation.
it also coincided with the beginning of the 2021 ETH bear market.n fact, such selloffs by the foundation have long been connected to peaks in the ETH price cycle. and for followers of the market, both the foundation and Buterin are closely watched for the timing of their sales, which have often been on the money.
Consider that in 2019, Buterin said in an interview that he had convinced the foundation to sell 70,000 ETH “basically at the top” of its price range at the time.
He added that the decision had paid off and had allowed the foundation to double its funding runway. Certainly, the organization has been busy recently and has developers to pay. For example, in the first quarter of 2023, it allocated $4,370,418 across its various research, development, and community programs.the foundation is also an active investor in the wider crypto ecosystem. In this role, it needs to be prepared to make high-value purchases.
Last year, the foundation took part in a $10.5 million Series A funding round for the workplace encryption startup Skiff.

First Republic Bank | FRCFirst Republic stock plummets after revealing deposit exodus in March
The stock of First Republic FRC dropped more than 43% Tuesday after the bank surprised investors and analysts by revealing an outflow of more than $100 billion in deposits in March.
The disclosure made during the release of its first-quarter results on Monday afternoon raised new questions about the fate of a San Francisco lender that was at the center of last month's banking turmoil.the company outlined its survival strategy Monday. It said it plans to increase its insured deposits, trim the borrowings it used to cover customer withdrawals, shrink its balance sheet and reduce its workforce by 20-25% to cut expenses. It is also pursuing other “strategic” options, including a sale or raising more capital.the bank is considering divesting HKEX:50 billion to $100 billion of long-dated securities and mortgages to make an eventual capital raise easier.
Its stock, which was already down more than 85% this year, was briefly halted for volatility on Tuesday. Other bank stocks also dropped, including some of First Republic's regional rivals. PacWest (PACW), a lender based in Beverly Hills that reports earnings after the market close, was down more than 6%. HomeStreet (HMST), a lender in Seattle that reported earnings Monday, sank more than 36%. analysts said First Republic faces a lot of uncertainty as it tries to recover from last month's chaos. “First Republic appears to be in a holding pattern and burning fuel,” Evercore analysts said in a new research note. Wells Fargo analysts said in a separate note that First Republic's existence "very much hangs in the balance." "The future of this company is very uncertain," added CI Roosevelt Associate Partner Jason Benowitz in an interview with Yahoo Finance. First Republic, he added, "lost so much in deposits, they have to replace that funding somehow, so they’re doing it with borrowing.” The borrowing will “really weigh on their profitability both in the reported quarter and going forward.” Wedbush lowered its earnings estimates for that very reason, noting that the heavy deposit losses would weigh on profits. “Where does First Republic go from here?” Wedbush said in its note. “Our base case is that First Republic continues to move forward as a standalone company,” referencing an earlier note in April that argued First Republic faces a "Hobson's choice."
Even a sale of First Republic at $0 a share is unlikely, Wedbush said in that earlier note, because any buyer would still essentially have to pay billions to absorb the unrealized losses on its balance sheet.
Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein told Yahoo Finance earlier this month that the federal government will need to provide some help for First Republic to find a buyer due to this “hole” on the lender’s balance sheet. “I think First Republic Bank is clearly on a watchlist, and probably somebody at some point will buy it. But the challenge there is that it needs government assistance,” Rubenstein said earlier this month
A lot of money is riding on its fate. Everyday investors have bet HKEX:245 million on First Republic stock since the fall of Silicon Valley Bank, according to Vanda Research, the third highest inflow to a specific bank stock behind Bank of America (BAC) and Charles Schwab (SCHW). It also has one of the highest levels of interest among so-called short sellers betting on the stock to decline, according to analytics firm S3 Partners, accounting for HKEX:480 million in such bets over the last 30 days. Its stock is now down more than 85% since the beginning of the year. First Republic "will be a bellwether of sentiment for the sector," Vanda said in a note last week.
The new hand wringing about First Republic following the release of its first-quarter results Monday. Its first-quarter earnings of HKEX:269 million were down by 30% from the fourth quarter and 33% from the year earlier period. What surprised most observers is how many deposits it lost in March. As of March 9, the day before regulators seized Silicon Valley Bank, its deposits were $173.5 billion, down just slightly from the year end. On March 10, it began experiencing "unprecedented deposit outflows."
The net total outflow by the end of March was HKEX:72 billion, but the actual number was above $100 million after stripping out a temporary infusion of HKEX:30 billion in uninsured deposits from 11 of the country’s largest banks. Those deposits have to stay at First Republic for 120 days, according to a person familiar with the rescue plan. The bank said Monday that outflows began to stabilize the week of March 27 and deposit activity "has remained stable" through April 21. Its balance as of Friday was $102.7 billion, a drop of 1.7% since the end of the quarter that the bank attributed to seasonal client tax payments. "Despite the uncertainty of the past two months, and while average account sizes have decreased, we have retained over 97% of client relationships that banked with us at the start of the first quarter," First Republic CEO Michael Roffler said on a conference call following the release of results. The company didn't take questions from analysts.

Bitcoin's performance in 2023 has been strong so far, but declining liquidity may drag the price lower going forward.Both supply and demand valuation approaches suggest that Bitcoin is currently overvalued.From a price perspective, Bitcoin has performed quite well in 2023, particularly in light of persistent inflation and tight monetary policy. With a halving approaching in the next 12 months, speculation will inevitably shift to the potential price impact, and investors may begin positioning themselves in anticipation of this. Investors should not underestimate the extent to which cryptocurrencies are a risk asset that behaves like a proxy for liquidity, though. Absent a financial crisis, liquidity is likely to continue declining, due to both fiscal and monetary policy. This is likely to put pressure on Bitcoin's price, which may negate any potential price impact from the halving, particularly if sentiment becomes sufficiently negative.Modelling price based on supply inflation and liquidity results in supply inflation dominating price as liquidity does not exhibit a static relationship. This approach suggests that Bitcoin is currently overvalued, a situation that is likely to get worse as liquidity is withdrawn from the market in the coming months.
