TLDR
  • The Bybit hack ($1.5B stolen) and relentless downtrending altcoins have rendered the market depressed. Despite this, there is reason for longer term altcoin optimism.
  • While altcoins have been plagued by scams, DeFi projects like Aave continue to prove their resilience while community-first projects such as Hyperliquid continue to thrive.
  • Sentiment right now is poor, but improved regulation, institutional participation, and DeFi/RWA growth support a brighter future. While memecoins dominate headlines, fundamental developments in crypto continue to build a solid foundation.
