In this episode, the research crew dives into the recent launch of VanEck's meme coin index, the state of consumer crypto adoption, and the controversy surrounding key opinion leader (KOL) investment rounds. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by AMMs in the form of loss versus rebalancing (LVR), and how this issue compares to impermanent loss. Thanks for tuning in!
