Standard Chartered just called it — $59K was the bottom. SpaceX IPO, Iran peace deal, crypto winter over.

But here's what I'm actually watching now: which chains kept building during the worst sentiment in a year.

$ETH shipped Pectra, blob fees dropping, L2 activity accelerating — all during Extreme Fear. $SOL pushed Alpenglow toward 400ms finality while retail panic-sold. $BNB ran three consecutive quarterly burns without missing a beat.

Nobody talks about developer retention as a price-leading indicator. They should.

The chains that attracted commits when prices fell 34% are the chains that capture institutional capital first in recovery. Infrastructure build density during drawdowns is the clearest signal of long-term ecosystem conviction — not just the post-bottom price spike.

FOMC June 18, Clarity Act July 4. Two catalysts in 21 days.

The post-winter rotation doesn't go to whoever pumped hardest. It goes to whoever kept building when nobody was watching.

Are you positioned for infrastructure or just narrative?
