---------------

In the SOL primary market, STONK’s rebound has hit 220 million, driving an increase in ecosystem token issuance— the money-making effect is starting. Look here.

ARC chain feels a bit hard to play— only one blue-chip, ARGUS, managed to run; it only pulled to 39M and then leaked. If you don’t have the capability, don’t touch.

BSC chain continues to lead— Fruit Fly (果蝇) sets a new high at 8.11M. With the core capturing 10x, there may be upside alpha. Other small gains are also decent.

Robinhood chain is tough to describe— retracing.

In the secondary market, two sectors are pumping hard: the anonymous sector, ZEC setting a new high again, carrying DASH and ZEN as they rebound; the DEFI sector— UNI and RAY quickly jump more than 10%. Meanwhile, MARSCOIN fell too much; it popped more than 20% and is back to 100M.

The ones that were strong earlier should keep blasting.
