DAD: Digital Asset Digest

By: Chris and Marine ~ MC² Finance
  • Summary

  • We have one goal: to make sense of what actually moved markets this week and lay out what it means for tomorrow, for you. 
 Digital Asset Digest is meant to pay homage to a fundamental principle crypto markets thrive on - Volatility. For traders, it is their lifeblood. But what actually drives this fundamental shift in markets, every single day? That is what we want to help our DeFi traders figure out. From macro policy shifts to obscure governance votes, our job becomes to surface signals others miss and tell you why they matter.
