Retail on-chain activity returns after 4 months 🔥
The volume of on-chain transactions of up to $10,000 is one way to track the activity of small investors, reflecting market sentiment among non-institutional participants.
In the last 30 days, retail demand grew by about 13%, highlighting a scenario that was only seen in March, when we were close to the last historical high.
Note that in the last 4 months we have seen a decrease in the activity of these small investors, while whales maintained a high amount of transactions and absorption of coins. This recent rise in bitcoin is causing small investors to return to trading, signaling the beginning of a pattern of lower risk aversion.
The Bursting of the Bitcoin Bubble

yMETIS (yieldMETIS) is the first LST on Metis Andromeda that is multichain. With Methera, you wouldn’t have to compromise your staking positions even as an already existing staker Artemis or ENKI, Methera offers restaking for artMETIS and eMETIS - giving stakers the opportunity to maximize their earnings.
Upon launch, stakers that will be using our platform will be able to bridge and leverage yMETIS on arbitrum with the best and juicy automated strategies and even more as we will be launching on other networks progressively. Stakers on Methera will earn the usual native APY on Metis with a 10% platform fee charge applied. Staking incentives, meth points, and partner perks (extra points and extra incentives) will also be added for an APY boost. Juicy and compelling.
Redeeming yMETIS for your underlying original staked METIS tokens on Methera can take up to 20 days due to the nature of the unstaking process. When you send a request to redeem your liquid METIS, the protocol often requires a cooldown or unbonding period. This allows the protocol to verify and validate the unstaking request while ensuring the network’s stability and security.
This waiting period helps manage liquidity and mitigate risks with immediate large scale withdrawals. However the protocol allows for faster withdrawals for most stakers under most conditions. This is made possible by the Methera protocol buffer, the use of which is prioritised for withdrawal requests (provided there is enough METIS in the buffer to fulfil them).
Stakers funds are secured through several mechanisms:
Delegation to multiple node operators, smart contract audits etc. (more details on security and redemption/withdrawals will be available on our docs today).
We are working to deliver a protocol that is completely trustless, a protocol that is efficient and reliable without doubt. We will be running a KYC verification with Metis as well.
Also our website will be available by Tuesday/Wednesday.
Hi guys, how’s it going?
Methera will be going live for your votes tomorrow. When approved, we will have the biggest liquid and restaking protocol delivered to you guys. Automated yield strategies, liquid yield strategies, restaking for artMETIS and eMETIS - maximizing your positions across DeFi on multiple chains and networks through one token - yMETIS

Arthur Hayes has introduced a new article “Persistent Weak Layer”
1️⃣ He likens the geopolitical instability in the Middle East to a weak layer that could cause the world markets to crash if the conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies.
2️⃣ If the conflict escalates, it could result in damage to oil infrastructure and higher energy prices, which would drive up the cost of Bitcoin, often viewed as a “digital energy reserve.”
3️⃣ Hayes believes that the growth of the global money supply is driving the rise of cryptocurrency. He argues that BTC will keep growing at a steady pace, even if there’s a potential drop in hashrate due to Iranian miners shutting down.
4️⃣ If things escalate, Hayes is thinking about pulling back on memecoin investments and focusing more on long-term cryptocurrencies. He believes that investment decisions should be based on logic rather than ethics or politics. After all, a war could bring reprisals and even asset confiscations.
