RWA is really taking off this time, Pendle directly surged over 5%, quite interesting... However, BTC is still at 92,000 with no movement, feels like only small coins are partying.

RWA has really taken off, and Pendle's recent surge is quite good. But it still feels like a short-term rebound; I haven't seen any substantial positive news...
