- Cleaning up the chaos caused by the last bull market, winning multiple lawsuits, and deleveraging
- The approval and listing of a Bitcoin spot ETF
- The flourishing development of the SOL ecosystem

- The potential approval of an ETH ETF driving speculation
- Inflows of funds into a BTC ETF
Grayscale's net outflows hit a new low, Bitcoin ETF trading volume reaches new highs, and Bitcoin surges above 57K
Regarding developments on the chain, Ignas also points out several important positive factors:
Innovations in the Bitcoin Ecosystem
More innovations are being made in the Bitcoin ecosystem through protocols like Runes, L2, and BTC-native dApps.
Aside from the above, how does the Rune protocol drive market speculation once again?
New Forms of Leveraged Construction Projects
Various re-staking projects have emerged recently, such as EigenLayer, upcoming updates from Polygon, Cosmos' multi-chain ecosystem, Solana's Picasso project, and Near's Octopus Network.
Aside from EigenLayer, what are some other re-staking projects that have emerged recently?
There is also the introduction of Liquid Restaked Tokens (LRT) project, which attracts market attention with the perspective of multiple returns.

All of these projects operate in new leveraged ways, sparking recent trends.
