In this week's analyst table, Dan and Sam are joined by Blockworks research analysts Matt and Brick to discuss the fake Bitcoin ETF news that briefly pumped BTC price 7% before plunging back down. They also analyze Lido's proposal to sunset Staked Sol, the Arbitrum incentive program results, and debate whether real world assets coming on-chain will be a long-term value proposition. The group also weighs in on the controversy around Uniswap V4's optional KYC compliance hooks, arguing that crypto will likely see more regulatory compliant options emerge. Hope you enjoy!
