Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.
Gm friends,
What a crazy week. The Spot Bitcoin ETF arc is over and we have now unlocked long term flows from the richest nation on Earth. They were all finally approved after the SEC’s Twitter account was hacked.
The volume of the ETFs were record breaking, but net flows possibly disappointing, and Bitcoin has sold off now post event.
I was in the camp that we needed a good pullback relatively soon for a longer cycle. Keep your head and zoom out.
Your weekly reading:

Random protocol update
EigenLayer has announced new LSTs which can be restaked when the caps lift. Notably mETH is included, which is the highest yielding LST on the market currently (~7% APY for the next few months).
Airdrop opportunity
Last call to earn the TENSOR airdrop:
I don't think there is long to go until Tensor's season 3 comes to an end. It's been running since July after all.
Tensor are dominating NFT volume on Solana. The team ships unbelievably fast and they listen to their users. The UI/UX is top tier. They have a great chance of being the most dominant NFT marketplace by volume in the whole of crypto, as NFT activity skyrockets on Solana this cycle. After JUP this will be one of the largest airdrops imo. The value comp with Blur is inevitable.
Ways to earn points (full details on the image):
You can also buy Tensorian NFTs and stake them to earn points.

How to not fumble the bag.
Start earning $GRASS before the network launches
Grass is a very interesting project (AI + DePin), which will be launching on Solana. It’s probably the easiest airdrop going.
Grass sells unused internet bandwidth to companies who need it to view the web. Until now, other people have sold this bandwidth without compensating you. Early users will earn the GRASS token.
It takes two minutes to set up the chrome extension and it runs in the background. Grass is in invite only beta, but you can click my referral link below to get going.
I also wrote a thread about it here, if you want to know more.
And that’s your alpha.
