GM Defiers!

In today's newsletter, we take a closer look at the market's first-half performance in 2023, where we've seen impressive recoveries from Bitcoin and Ethereum, signaling an optimistic bounce back from last year's bear market. We also delve into the recent security incident involving Poly Network, where a hacker managed to issue an unlimited number of tokens. Finally, we look at an exciting development from Luminex – a new BRC-69 token standard that could revolutionize the way Ordinals are minted on Bitcoin, reducing costs by up to 90%.
