Solana that Sam has been shilling in jail; FTX sold all their allocation to Pantera, now at the bottom.

Solana must go back up before meme coins start running again.

Previous performer coins = future performers.

DWF Labs Deposited 10.8 million $IDS worth $7.69 million to OKX.
In the last 7 days, Wintermute, a prominent market maker, sold most of the tokens they were holding since bottom prices.

including tokens such as $ENA and $WLD..

They are now holding the majority of their balance in stablecoins [$USDC, $USDT, $WETH]. This behavior mirrors that of similar market makers like Jump, Amber, and Cumber.

Deposits for majors ($eth/$btc) on lending protocols increasing could be selling majors there to earn funding rates, or APR%.. OI growing, Market might going to stay here to a little bit more down side based on logical data reasoning.
$ETH $55m onchain lending liquidations are sitting at price ~$2850.

Shorting tokens with a large $ amount of unlocks stills the best working trade, with these coins down an average of -15%.

In April, over $1 billion was unlocked by layer-2 tokens and DEX-based tokens, including $ARB with $152 million, $APT with $418 million, and $DYDX with $165 million.

The market bottomed out with selling pressure from those unlocks at -35%, which could also lead to a case for a few coins to be called out for having higher FDV that can trigger a so-called hate rally, for example, $SUI, $SEI, $IMX, and $APT. Or, the initial rally pre-April was an exit pump before the unlocks.
Binance Launchpad's & new listings are in dip with good discounts.

This discount because Binance listings typically perform well after an initial sell-off to shake out weak hands.

have talked about this a couple of times with data/analytics, explaining why the Binance Launchpad is always the best/or atleast avg performer in a bull market.

> watchlists. All of them are backed by tier 1-2 VCs, with Binance fund backing as well. It's better to play with the cartel, not against it.
Impact of Binance listings: if a project is still not getting listed on a CEX in this bullish env, it might miss the cycle phase.

Whatever gets listed, along with team announcements, partnerships, and incentives, ends up being bullish for the token price/project.

Launching in a bull market is soaring; missing it is stalling.
Why meme coins won't be labeled as memes if VCs invest in them:

Investments by VCs can enhance the legitimacy and financial backing of a meme coin, potentially shifting its perception from a novelty or cultural token to a more serious investment vehicle.

This added seriousness and credibility can dilute its original whimsical and community-driven meme identity.

It's more like VCs backing meme coins Vs community/culture-backed coins, such as $Shib Vs $Pepe [short vs Long, pair trade] Cultural Meme coins to $bb
