Another Day in Crypto #150 - Coinbase Getting a Wells Notice, $ARB is Coming & DeFi News
Curating some crypto content from around the web.
Hello everyone,
How are you? Hope you’re doing well!
As always - this is most definitely Not Financial Advice.
Everything I express here is only my opinion, and represents my perception of the market, eco systems and communities. And people.
Do not treat any of it as an absolute fact - please do your own due diligence.
Always.
Ok.
Chose quite a week for a family vacation, ha?
Seems like a different era in some ways since the ARB airdrop was announced, and it’s coming - in a matter hours.
All kinds of interesting stories I’m sure you folks have heard about are for example the Balaji Bitcoin bet and the DeFi Llama team story (which already seems to have reconciled), and these alone could have been made into whole editions and stories.
That being said - a new day, brings on new stories.
Ok, let’s look at some interesting stuff I found for today, and some of the sentiment the community is having while waiting for the initiation of the most talked about crypto airdrop I personally at least have seen in the industry, since finding out about the whole Airdrop concept back in 2020 with the Uniswap original UNI airdrop.
Alright, shall we?
Btw, hope many of you got some nice allocations and are rewarded as the early users you are!
Ok - you know what? Before we move to Arbitrum and the anticipated airdrop, there’s the Coinbase story. They’ve received a Wells notice from the SEC.

Ok, let’s look at some of the responses to the allocations and the anticipated Arb szn (you do remember this is not financial advice anon, right?) - as folks are anticipating capital to flow from ARB sales (and new capital by new users) to enter the Arbitrum ecosystem, as some will be rotating their ARB into Arbitrum blue chips and small caps.
DCF sees VSTA as the clear winner:

Ok, let’s continue.
