In this week's roundup Mike and Vance dive into the latest developments across crypto including the state of Bitcoin ETFs, return of ETH as money, and the growth of prediction markets. They discuss the recent impressive growth of Polymarket, a prediction betting platform now generating substantial interest and volume without any incentive programs. Shifting gears, they cover the launches of liquid staking tokens enabling easy yield capture for holders and the emergence of "modular money" concepts. Vance breaks down trends in L2 liquidity growth, increased demand for spot exposure, and how ETH is poised to benefit from institutional flows, trading activity, and more. Stay tuned for all this and much more!
