His first buy after a longer break, which sparked the question: Will @frankdegods withstand the storm? 😁

Let’s take a look at some of Aoki’s history next.

Top buy at its best, although bear market did every collection dirty afterwards.

This was a surprise to me as he was very early here and even his 270 ETH buy didn’t mark the top.

Almost close to signaling the top here although we saw very nice bouncebacks before the bear market tore everything apart.

Again, very early entry, although with some rares above floor. But overall nowhere near the top.

Back to being himself here and perfectly timing the top for his kennel buy.
Side note: He was very early on Bayc and Mayc 🤝

Another surprise: very good buy-in here before Luca took over, almost timing bottom. 🤯😁

Mr. Top Signal at it again, but overall one of the projects that has been putting up a good fight with the 🐻

To sum uo: Aoki might not be Mr. Top Signal after all, but we should still be careful once he buys in.

Also please note that this thread is for entertainment only and I don’t mean to FUD anything (would be fudding my own after all) ❤️

Is the memecoin frenzy back?
A few wallets holding $PEPE went from 500$ to more than $3.78M (7500x) in 5 days.

What if I told you that those wallets are in relation and might nuke the market if they sell their holdings?
An on-chain investigation using @bubblemaps 🧵 pic.twitter.com/MS0yIeoyC9
We’ve seen $PEPE surging as a winner in the recent meme narrative, at the time of writing, $PEPE has a Market cap of $140M and $160M in FDV which is quite impressive for a meme token but is still coherent regarding $SHIB or $DOGE.
— Louround 🥂 (@Louround_) April 20, 2023
However,… pic.twitter.com/6TAQxa75R2
The main issue with $PEPE is the available on-chain liquidity, totaling $2.9M on Uni V2 and $1.8M on Uni V3 (benefiting from concentrated liquidity, thus much lower than $1.8M)
— Louround 🥂 (@Louround_) April 20, 2023
So what are the risks you may ask? pic.twitter.com/96giFlRgNA
When we analyze the actual connections between wallets with @bubblemaps, we identify a few wallet clusters where the major one has a connection with 2.7% of the supply ($140M * 2,7% = $3.78M)
— Louround 🥂 (@Louround_) April 20, 2023
What does that mean?
Those wallets most probably know each other/are the same person! pic.twitter.com/pAyBvO4ZOL
This causes a major risk for the market and holders as those wallets hold a token value superior to all the on-chain available liquidity.
— Louround 🥂 (@Louround_) April 20, 2023
Selling their bags will drain all the liquidity and dump the token by more than 99% 📉 pic.twitter.com/lGaE4qXYAi
What’s more worrying?
— Louround 🥂 (@Louround_) April 20, 2023
5 days ago $PEPE had 2 major clusters that had links with 5% of the supply each!
Based on the current valuation, 5% of the supply equals to $140M * 5% = $7M which is once again higher than all the available on-chain liquidity. pic.twitter.com/zUfqUTdofJ
The suspicious behavior has been confirmed by transaction timing, the wallets have been freshly created and funded for the sole purpose of purchasing $PEPE a few minutes after its listing.
— Louround 🥂 (@Louround_) April 20, 2023
That’s a really surprising coincidence!https://t.co/AyJXll5wQY
You can track by yourself the transactions and links between wallets through this link on Bulbblemaps, allowing you to carefully monitor their future activity 👇https://t.co/pzEnfJ8uv4
— Louround 🥂 (@Louround_) April 20, 2023
To conclude, the thin $PEPE liquidity compared to its market cap is a major risk for token holders, resulting in a potential market crash if some holders decide to take profit from their positions.
— Louround 🥂 (@Louround_) April 20, 2023
I would recommend to carefully manage your exposure as $PEPE remains a meme coin. pic.twitter.com/3tYNqVhXTj

Breakdown of Ethereum Q1 2023
1/ In a quarter marked by instability in traditional finance, #Ethereum completed its transition to PoS with the Shapella upgrade, finding improvements in activity across its ecosystem.@kunalgoel breaks down $ETH's Q1 below 👇 pic.twitter.com/pofup5LAfI
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
2/ Q1 2023 was #Ethereum’s second quarter of negative net issuance.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
As market sentiment improved, there was an uptick in on-chain activity, which led to higher fees and greater burn. pic.twitter.com/XbUoatvZhA

2/ Q1 2023 was #Ethereum’s second quarter of negative net issuance.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
As market sentiment improved, there was an uptick in on-chain activity, which led to higher fees and greater burn. pic.twitter.com/XbUoatvZhA
3/ Annualized real yield for $ETH's validators hovered around 5.9%, with the nominal yield falling to 5.6%, a decrease of 0.4% QoQ.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
This decline was partially offset by higher a net deflation of 0.3%. pic.twitter.com/4xEHTNvu9Q
4/ Lucrative yields and the completion of the Shanghai/Capella upgrade, enabling withdrawals from the $ETH staking contract, led to 2.2M new $ETH staked over the quarter.#Ethereum’s staking ratio ended the quarter at 15%, up from 13% at the beginning of the quarter. pic.twitter.com/xuL68peD7O
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
5/ A major concern for $ETH at the end of last year centered around fears of censorship.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
As stated in @kunalgoel's December report, these concerns were overstated.
The percentage of validators using censoring relays was just 29% at the end of the quarter, down from 61%. https://t.co/P7wacmmpM6
6/ Onchain activity was flat for the quarter, with average daily transactions at 1.1M.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
Declines in #DeFi activity were offset by increases in #NFT and Bridge activity. pic.twitter.com/mUuqWwXOnE
7/ The decline in #DeFi activity was likely due to increases in L2's share of transactions.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
L2 share of transactions increased to 45% in Q1 2023 from 38% in Q4 2022. pic.twitter.com/YnRzggEemq
8/ As mentioned in the opener, #Ethereum completed the Shanghai/Capella upgrade, allowing for withdrawals from the staking contract.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
Over 1.1M $ETH has been unstaked. Even then, with 590K $ETH newly staked since Shapella, deposits outweigh full withdrawals by almost 3x. pic.twitter.com/0dhAkc0nNH
9/ With the Shapella upgrade, #Ethereum has fully transitioned to Proof-of-Stake.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
The next upgrade, EIP-4844 or proto-danksharding, will introduce ephemeral data storage or storage blobs, potentially making rollups 10-100x cheaper. pic.twitter.com/TV90Dj7iuC
10/ In the previous quarter, @Binance consolidated its wallets, which led to a spike in the number of active wallets.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
As a result, the average number of daily active addresses on #Ethereum saw a decline of 4% to 425K. pic.twitter.com/suMZSTlv61
11/ #Ethereum had a strong growth of 29% in its total value locked (TVL) to $33B.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
However, its growth pales in comparison to the relative growth in the TVL of L2s, as @Arbitrum and @OptimismFND’s TVL grew by 135% and 83% respectively. pic.twitter.com/RWrDxVJeHG
12/ Stablecoins on ETH fell by $13B over the quarter to $73 billion.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
The supply for $USDC fell by $10B as it depegged briefly, while $BUSD had outflows of $5B as Paxos announced that it will be ending its partnership with @Binance. pic.twitter.com/d2rVM93uDS
13/ Trading volumes on decentralized exchanges increased by 17% for the quarter to $4B.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
March 11, 2023, the day of the USDC depeg, was the day of highest trading for the quarter, with $40B in volumes being logged. pic.twitter.com/J4tWP2T4is
14/Daily #NFT volumes saw a huge surge of 146% in Q1 2023 to $45M.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
There was a noticeable increase in activity after the Blur airdrop. pic.twitter.com/7hzmXmyM08
15/ TVL on @Arbitrum surged to $2.5B at the end of the quarter, driven by native applications @GMX_IO and @RDNTCapital.@OptimismFND’s TVL also increased significantly, growing by 80% for the quarter to $1B, with the help of native applications @VelodromeFi and @SonneFinance. pic.twitter.com/g36ZWNbb9B
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
16/ Annualized validator yield for the quarter was 5.6%, slightly below 6% in the previous quarter.
— Messari (@MessariCrypto) April 21, 2023
The majority of the yield was on the back of new issuance, which contributed 3.9% of the 6%.
