Biggest Price Movers
(From @coingecko top 1000)
Note
@NestedFi is our official sponsor for the month of December... They are a new Social Trading protocol which lets users create portfolios and copy-trade other portfolios on ETH Mainnet, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, and BSC…
In addition to many of the cool features about Nested we’ve previously highlighted, they have also created a very innovative way of onboarding non-defi natives that’s sort of an intermediate option between non-custodial solutions like big cex’s vs full wallet and seedphrase custody, where one can create an account via an email address or social media account, onboard fiat without KYC via Mt Pelerin, but later export one’s keys to take fully custody if one desires.
Note: One can of course still use it just like any other defi protocol via Metamask/Rabby/etc, the above is just another option they provide.
Biggest TVL Movers
Chains are mixed today. Some notables include Solana (#11) at -11.46% on the weekly, MultiversX (#22) at -12.71% on the weekly, Aptos (#30) at +13.63% on the weekly, and OKExChange (#41) at +16.68% on the weekly.
Protocols are mixed today as well. Some notables include Pancakeswap (#8) at -36.68% on the monthly, Aura (#25) at +48.64% on the weekly, Geist Finance (#86) at -28.58% on the weekly, and Ferro (#98) at -26.24% on the monthly.
