The Strategic Finance Core Unit's Legal Assessment specified that the allocation of 500 million USDC from the PSM to @Coinbase's Institutional Rewards program will be implemented based on the parameters outlined below: https://forum.makerdao.com/t/coinbase-custody-legal-assessment/20384

  • Wintermute: This bear market may end faster than previous ones, and the market will most likely recover in the second half of the year.

    Wintermute posted on X stating that it is clear we are already in a bear market, and in fact, it has lasted for some time—especially judging by the performance of altcoins, the extreme concentration of rebounds, and market sentiment on X. However, what makes this bear market different is that it was not triggered by structural collapses like FTX, Luna, or 3AC, but rather driven by macroeconomic conditions and cyclical trend changes, representing a relatively natural deleveraging process, with the core driving forces being changes in positions, risk appetite, and market narratives.
