📊 Historically, the non-stablecoin assets on this list have a significantly higher likelihood of seeing reversals in price performance. Some may have good entry (or exit) points you can take advantage of.

🧐 Use the Santiment screener here to filter for hundreds of metrics to find which projects are currently emerging for your strategies.

📊 Bitcoin's market value has scratched its way back to a high of $87.3K today as altcoins continue to fall slightly behind. Crypto's total market cap is still down ~-7% in the past week despite $BTC being +0.2% in the past week. $HYPE, $CRO, & $ONDO are also altcoins to watch.

💸 In the MakerDAO ecosystem, Repayments Against Collateral refer to the process where borrowers settle their outstanding DAI debt, allowing them to reclaim their Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) collateral. Unlike forced liquidations, which occur when collateral levels drop too low, these repayments are deliberate actions taken by users to reduce leverage or close out positions.

For traders, this metric offers valuable insights into market sentiment. Large repayments can signal a shift in risk appetite—whether traders are securing profits, de-risking in anticipation of volatility, or repositioning based on broader market conditions.

Since WBTC is a widely used collateral asset in MakerDAO, its repayment patterns can have ripple effects across the DeFi space and potentially influence Bitcoin's price trajectory. Periods of heightened repayment activity often align with significant Bitcoin price movements, making this an important indicator to watch for potential trend reversals or liquidity shifts in the market.

When you see a high MakerDAO repayment spike on this chart, you'll usually find great opportunities to buy (if prices were moving down at the time of the spike) or sell (if prices were moving up at the time of the spike).

📈🇺🇸 World Liberty Financial (WLF), the cryptocurrency-focused financial venture linked to Donald Trump and his family, continues to accumulate cryptocurrencies aggressively via its public wallet.

Among key assets, the venture's holdings now sit at:

📌 59,269 ETH (+3,921% since pre-inauguration)
📌 647 WBTC (+3,570% since pre-inauguration)
📌 19,399 stETH (+309% since pre-inauguration)

This wallet currently holds $370.4M worth of total assets, which include 44 distinct assets. Some other notable coins held in this wallet include USD Coin, Tether, Chainlink, Aave, Ethena, and even meme coins like Pepe and Mog.

WLF seems to be setting itself up as a key player in decentralized finance (DeFi). The venture's behavior through this wallet correlates with Donald Trump’s promise to make the U.S. a global leader in cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation. This high level of crypto accumulation signals confidence in upcoming policies and a belief in a strong future for the market. 💪

🐳 The largest trackable exchange deposits show a continuation of $FDUSD moving to Binance at a massive rate, with two separate $25.9M transactions coming from a whale. Additionally, keep an eye on big movement from $WBTC, $ENA, $COMP, $WLD, $SPX, $FTM, and $PEPE. 👀

🐳 According to the Santiment Centralized Exchange Deposits Dashboard, some of the largest trasnfers of altcoins include Eigenlayer ($2.8M), Ethena ($2.5M), Worldcoin ($2.0M), Wrapped Bitcoin ($4.8M), Pepe ($3.0M), and Chainlink ($1.8M).

When large levels of an asset's supply suddenly get moved to exchanges, it is a sign that a whale has intent to sell off a portion of their coin holdings. Though Bitcoin's continued ascent may minimize the impact of any tops for these respective altcoins, be aware of projects on this list being at greater risk of (at least) temporary retraces.
