Recently, Spectral launched Spectral Syntax V2 beta, which allows anyone to create autonomous, community-owned AI agents.

I decided to give it a try and launched my own AI Agent, relying on research data.

Exploration thread here.

Investors have started losing interest in meme coins and shifted their focus to the DeFi narrative.

After pump.fun disabled streaming, many meme coin creators transitioned to the AI narrative. At the same time, investors have turned their attention back to DeFi tokens, with their GMCI index growing significantly over the past two weeks, from 82.47 to 111.43.

Base continues to maintain a leading position in terms of ecosystem netflow.

Over the past month, this metric for Base has increased by 46.1%, from $539.6 million to $788.6 million. Additionally, Solana, Sui, and Starknet have solidified their positions with the highest netflow volumes in November.

Not a single mention of these tokens in the "Top 10 altcoins that will 100x" lists.

If anyone dares to say, "I told you so," throw something at them on my behalf.

XRP is gaining momentum: for the first time since January 2018, it has reached a market value of $2.49.

In addition, for the first time in 8 years, non-empty XRP wallets have eclipsed 5.5M for the first time.

A new bull market for NFTs may be on the horizon.

According to Dune statistics, the market is gradually recovering: on December 1, NFT trading volume on EVM networks reached $42.1M.

However, the main argument supporting this thesis is AI's interest in NFTs. AI could start purchasing NFTs instead of physical assets, driving up demand and prices.

bnSOL has recently taken the lead in net flows among other Solana LSTs.

The token's TVL has exceeded $1B, capturing 13% of the entire liquid staking market share in the Solana network.

DEXs transaction volume in November reached $372B, a record high.

On Solana, it accounted for 34.85% of the market share ($129.66B), while on Base, it reached $45.74B, with both networks hitting all-time highs.
