Messari’s latest coin report<\/a> notes various activities, even if the ecosystem does not have a clearly articulated roadmap.

The Solana DeFi protocol Raydium was compromised on December 16. This resulted in investors and traders losing approximately $2 million. This is expected to\u00a0diminish confidence in the token further.<\/p>\n

Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food.
