Editor Raizel and Anderson Chen

DeFi market was plagued by low yield for the past two months, but worry no more, Summer is here and lots of exciting happenings on Ethereum. The editors have added for us a new section called “Nasduck Index” that hopes to provide a simple gauge on the market trending based on news and quantitative analysis.

Nasduck Index For this Week: 3.75

Nasduck is a Bull and Bear Index (BBI) based on the editor’s research on market news and quantitative data analytics. It aims to provide a simple prediction of market trend. Nasduck Index is affected by crypto projects development & market reception, institutional sentiment, regulatory attitudes, on-chain data analytics. 1 being super bad and bearish, while 5 is super good and bullish. The Index is more meaningful when compare with past and future data, a standalone index of 3 may not mean a positive market trend since crypto news tend to be positive in general and the Index is thus skewed upwards.
