PRICES SWING
After positive reports on job growth and inflation data in August, crypto prices and the stock market bounced in a positive direction, with ETH eclipsing $1,900 for the first time in months.
Now, as of this morning, prices are on the decline again. However, this time there is no clear reason why.
With the Merge upcoming, various hacks occurring throughout the ecosystem, and crypto bills being pushed through congress, this is a volatile time for the crypto markets. Users are unsure whether they should hold or offload their assets and institutions may be de-risking ahead of the next Fed meeting. The coming months will be a telling time for both the crypto markets and the American economy as the Fed tries to tame inflation and tensions grow abroad in Ukraine and Taiwan.
SUDOSWAP GAINS TRACTION
Over the past month, a new decentralized AMM has gained significant traction as a new way to buy and sell NFTs. Sudoswap represents a shift away from centralized exchanges that have happened as a result of the market downturn over the last several months. Here’s what you need to know:
Sudoswap is an almost completely decentralized exchange, as opposed to current market participants like OpenSea
The TVL on Sudoswap has gone from $120k to $3M in the span of one month
Sudoswap pays no creator royalties, which is a topic of considerable contention among the crypto community
SudoAMM allows any user to become a liquidity provider by depositing their NFTs along with ETH and set automatic buy and sell target prices
