It’s hard to look at recent news from both crypto and traditional markets and not feel like we’re getting mixed signals. Stocks have been recovering but oil is hitting historic lows. DeFi suffers a major hack over the weekend, but Coinbase sees a major spike in $1,200 transactions right as $1,200 stimulus checks hit.
