Markets caught their breath at Monday’s open: the Nasdaq rose 0.9%, AI stocks opened higher, and Q3 GDP came in at 4.5%, beating expectations. $ARB led the rally, up about 6.7% on the day. After last week’s sell-off, investors are starting to test their risk appetite. $BTC is hovering around $82,500, while $BNB is climbing alongside it at $726, though both are underperforming DeFi. Big money hasn’t fully moved in yet. Whether the rally holds depends on how well U.S. stocks hold up during the session. #DeFi
