Are We Actually in a New Cycle? | Roundup

Empire

In today's episode, Santi, Jason, and special guest Pranav debate if we are we truly in a new crypto cycle. They analyze the uneven market recovery, with Solana and meme coins outperforming while other assets struggle. The conversation explores potential hidden leverage, the impact of the upcoming U.S. presidential election, and strategies for navigating market uncertainty. They also discuss the evolving dApp ecosystem and make predictions about future dominant crypto assets, all while questioning whether the current market represents a genuine new cycle or merely a false start.
