Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.
gm friends,
We’ve finally seen a slightly sustained BTC pullback. It was a hell of a run.
This is very healthy. If you want a longer bull trend then you need corrections and periods of consolidation.
Once BTC starts ranging then alts will catch a bid again and play catch up.

This Newsletter is brought to you by Vector Reserve:
Vector Reserve is the issuer of vETH, the world’s first Liquidity Position Derivative (LPD). It’s a very cool protocol, which wants to introduce a diversified, risk adjusted reserve currency built on ETH.
Users can mint vETH using LRTs/LSTs or ETH. Vector will then pair them into liquidity positions to boost their yields via additional LP fees, DEX emissions, and soon, Superfluid Staking.
Vector has introduced vPoints as a way to aggregate EigenLayer Points and the various LRT rewards points (Kelp, EtherFi, Renzo, Puffer, Swell) into a single Point that gives the widest possible exposure to all key liquid restaking rewards, whilst also boosting yields.
1. 4 Phases of the Bitcoin Halving
Interesting analysis using previous cycles as a guide.

Random protocol update
Fluence has just gone live on mainnet (backed by Multicoin Capital). It offers decentralized serverless computing, delivering on-demand compute with the benefits of censorship resistance decentralization. It’s worth checking out.
Airdrop opportunity
Backpack
I really think Backpack are going to become a very competitive exchange. The team is exceptional.
They recently raised 17M in their series A, and have one of the best wallets on Solana.
Try the exchange and do a few trades to get your volume up. You might also find you enjoy trading there.
Don’t fade.
