Uniswap, Aave, Synthetix Continue to Slip Lower in Face of Bitcoin Bump

Top coins in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space such as Uniswap’s UNI and AAVE have slipped lower even as Bitcoin inches higher. Most top DeFi coins have dropped approximately five percent in the past 24 hours as per CoinGecko while Bitcoin has gained over 2%. The leading cryptocurrency briefly traded above the pivotal $14,000 resistance level today but has since dropped due to large sell orders in the $14,000 range.

Strong Fundamentals Contadict Drop in Coins Such Uniswap, Aave, & More

The strong decline in the coins of top DeFi players such as Uniswap, Aave, Synthetix, and Yearn.finance is contradicted by fundamentals. The fundamentals of the decentralized finance space have only strengthened over recent weeks and months, confusing investors in the space.

Head of DTC Capital Spencer Noon noted that while top coins are down by over 60% from their highs, the “most important indicators” of the health of DeFi are pushing new all-time highs:

“Despite a month that saw most tokens fall 50% or more, #DeFi is *still* at ATHs with its most important indicators… Don’t listen to the degens who burned out. Phase 2 of this #DeFi bull market will make this summer look like nothing… And yes, I believe burnout played a major factor in the recent DeFi drawdown. Farmers spent 3 months making serious gains but with barely any sleep. When the market naturally corrected, anecdotally many of my farmer friends decided to hit the sidelines out of sheer exhaustion.””

This was echoed by analysts like Jack Purdy of Messari. On-chain trends show that a large amount of capital continues to enter DeFi contracts to be used in the ecosystem.

More Losses to Come

Despite this, some fear that more losses are to come for this market due to the losses being seen in Uniswap, Aave, Synthetix, and Yearn.finance.

Qiao Wang, a prominent crypto-asset analyst, recently commented on the matter:

“I constantly update my views and unfortunately it looks like there’s going to be more pain in DeFi. Originally I thought we won’t see an 80–90% crash which is typical of alts because of the level of sophistication of DeFi investors but that thesis is being invalidated.”

He explained that due to the weak performances of top DeFi tokens, other assets pertaining to the space will drop by affinity.

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

Meta's head of crypto to step down at end of year

In explaining his decision to leave Meta, David Marcus said that his entrepreneurial DNA had been nudging him “for too many mornings in a row to continue ignoring.” David Marcus, the head of Meta’s cryptocurrency and fintech unit Novi, will step down from his role by the end of 2021. Taking over from Marcus will be Stephane Kasriel, the former CEO of Upwork who has been at Meta, formerly known as Facebook, since August 2020. Marcus announced the decision via a Dec. 1 tweet , noting that he had made the “difficult decision” to leave the firm by the end of this year. The exec didn’t go into detail about what his next move would be, but hinted that it may be something “new and exciting” that he builds himself: “While there’s still so much to do right on the heels of launching Novi — and I remain as passionate as ever about the need for change in our payments and financial systems — my entrepreneurial DNA has been nudging me for too many mornings in a row to continue ignoring it.” Ma...
