There is still a silver lining though. Volume on tokens that are not well-established into a single silo, or are new/unknown seem to be trending upwards still. Meaning there are still opportunities out there, just possibly not in the same tokens we saw in prior years. 7/7
The well-established memes that were included in the meme narrative list are also not doing great, showing lower monthly volumes much like the other niche tokens that rely on new investors. 6/7
Even layer 2 tokens are hitting record low volumes for the first time since 2024. A lot of older well-established narratives are very suppressed at the moment, and this isn't limited to utility tokens. 5/7
Some other narratives aren't fairing as well though, looking at NFTs, BTC Ordinals, DePIN, DA, AI and various other categories we see lower and lower monthly volumes. Indicating a current lapse in demand for the tokens. 4/7
Volume on stablecoin-to-stablecoin swaps (both to fiat and between stablecoins) is constantly growing as well. Showing an increased need for different stablecoins and a growth of the stablecoin ecosystem. 3/7
With the implementation of xstocks, ondo tokenized stocks, and other financial vehicles, exchange volume for stocks has been steadily growing over the past few months. 2/7
At the money spot liquidity is drying up on a lot of exchanges, back to pre-trump levels. By at the money liquidity, I mean money at the best bid and best ask, on average over the course of a day. This might imply MMs are moving limit orders OTM and increasing volatility.
Would be a crazy day if BTC squeezes up while GLD falls down. Not saying it will happen... but BTC/GLD is a wildly interesting chart at a very interesting point.
Tim Cook is likely to step down as Apple’s CEO
According to Bloomberg, John Ternus, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, is expected to take over.
Bloomberg notes that Apple now likely needs an engineer rather than a sales or operations specialist. While the company expanded significantly under Cook’s leadership, it has struggled to break into new tech categories such as virtual reality, generative AI, smart home devices, and autonomous vehicles.
Ternus reportedly stands out among other potential successors. After stepping down, Cook may remain as chairman of Apple’s board — a path previously taken by leaders like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Bloomberg article does not mention a time frame about when Cook will step down -- instead, it focuses on who will take over whenever "Cook eventually steps down"

Don't know why I didn't bet on the government shutdown on @polymarket. YES OI has been steadily increasing for weeks, even when the YES price was only $0.68. While the NO OI has remained entirely stagnant. Hindsight is 20/20 though I suppose.
