Week of Panic Subsides

📸 Daily Market Snapshot: After spiking as high as $62.5K yesterday, flushing out shorts in the process, BTC spent the day sitting comfortably at the $60K marker with reassuring macro signs largely pushing traders to treat last weekend's sell-off, which took BTC below $50K, as a fluke.

Crypto $2.10T ↗0.4% ↘4.5%

ANALYSIS
How Our 40+ Token Hub Ratings Are Performing
Bankless Author: Jack Inabinet

This year, we restarted the Bankless Token Hub, where, every weekday, our analyst team digs into a token's potential future price performance and gives it a bullish, bearish or neutral rating with a brief write-up justifying that rating on a three-month investment timeline.

Right now, we have 41 active token ratings in the Citizen-only app. Today, we just added a rating on Polygon's native token.

As we continue to lay out new ratings and adjust to the shifting financial landscape, we wanted to take a look back at our past performance rating tokens, especially during a period when the market was dealt some major shocks. We didn't do too bad!

Today, we’re showing Citizens a few of our most notable token ratings from this summer, and digging into what exactly we got right and what we overlooked. You can check out the Token Hub app right now to see all of our active ratings! 👇

This Week's Yield Opps

🧑‍🌾 Farming Alpha:  Onchain yields held steady despite wild fluctuations in crypto prices this week. Pendle fixed rates are more attractive than many variable rate alternatives, but both Curve and Hop continue to provide healthy token-incentivized yields.
