💣 It's Gaming Season. Who Will Outperform?

A weekly recap of the largest crypto events and narratives, with an extra dose of insight.

Here’s what we have for you:

• BlackRock Ethereum ETF filing

• Binance web3 wallet

• Gaming season

• Advanced trading strategies onchain with Carbon

• $ARB trading incentives on Vertex

• STFX spot vaults

Sooo, what’s happening with the market? You tell me. We’re on BTC spot ETF approval hopium mode again, with the market thinking that all twelve BTC ETFs will be approved. As a result, BTC hit a solid $38K and COIN hit $100. Furthermore, BlackRock filed for an Ethereum ETF with Nasdaq, after forming a company in Delaware for the ETF.

Binance dropped their Web 3 wallet. It features the usual functionality of a wallet, but also has a swap function powered by Binance Bridge, Earn products, and advanced MPC along with built-in risk controls. The wallet wars continue. Choose your fighter. CEX-backed wallets or telegram trading bots.

Gaming season

Mini gamefi season? Seems like it. Illuvium $ILV announced that its Beta 3: PVP is coming. Here’s the kicker. You don’t have to download it through some shady exe. It’ll be distributed through the Epic Games Store, with over 180M users. Big if true.

Immutable, the leading web3 gaming platform, is also joining the gamefi partner, announcing their partnership with Ubisoft. Ubisoft is the game developer behind popular franchises such as Assassin’s Creed, Tom Clancy, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, and more.

Advanced trading strategies

• Meet Carbon, an onchain protocol for advanced trading strategies. In the fast-moving world of crypto, normal limit orders don’t really cut it anymore. That’s why Carbon is the first to innovate with automated recurring limit orders.

• These orders continuously buy and sell within predefined ranges, setting you up with an endless trading cycle. Carbon is a product of Bancor, and they are licensing this cutting-edge technology to other DeFi projects, giving everyone the opportunity to benefit from advanced orderbook-like functionalities. To more sophisticated DeFi experiences!

$ARB trading incentives

• Want to make some money while trading? Get a little $ARB even if you get liquidated? (Jk plz don’t. Turn down the leverage) Well, now you can on Vertex.

• You’ll get $ARB incentives for trading on Vertex with taker fee rebates up to 75, and incentives if you LP in the new Elixir Fusion pools too. Oh before I forget, Vertex’s LBA starts in 3 days.

STFX spot vaults

• STFX, popular social-fi trading protocol has released spot vaults. The new spot vaults allow users to trade every ERC-20 token, also known as every meme-coin in existence.
  

• Social-fi has been a trend for a bit, with protocols such as friend.tech and now Farcaster slowly but surely taking off. Combine that with a bull market, and you get a lethal combination.
