Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.

1. AAVE introduce new stablecoin GHO

The DeFi OG lending/borrowing platform are planning to release their own decentralised stablecoin. stkAAVE holders will get a discount on the GHO interest rate. I like the sound of more utility for $AAVE… Stani drops the details.

Thread: Here’s The Biggest Stablecoins You Can Actually Invest In 🧵 So… as I’ve said before, I think stablecoins are clearly the stickiest ‘use case’ for crypto/defi so far, and I sincerely believe we’ll one day have trillions of dollars of them on-chain… 1/x

Play 2 Earn is often just #DeFi with extra steps. But what if we make #Web3 including DeFi more sensual, more emotional and especially more playful. So I hacked a proof of #DEX on my #PS5 this weekend ...
