Let’s dive in👇
Crypto catalysts to watch this week
First Spot Chainlink ETF - The first-ever spot Chainlink ETF is expected to launch this week according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas
Avail Nexus mainnet launch - Avail Nexus Mainnet, an infrastructure protocol that eliminates the need for bridging, will launch very soon according to its team
HYPE token unlock - Hyperliquid’s first team token unlock will happen on Nov. 29. Some people are concerned because the Hyperliquid team started unstaking 2.6M HYPE tokens from their allocation
MegaETH Pre-Deposit Bridge - MegaETH Pre-Deposit Bridge launches on Nov. 25. I’ll deposit some USDC because an airdrop for early depositors is confirmed
Grass’s first token holder call - Grass announced that the first GRASS token holder call (where new updates and recent progress will be presented) will happen today on Nov. 24 at 1 PM EST
Lighter’s announcements - Lighter team said they will make multiple announcements in the coming days. Hopefully their TGE will be announced soon
Fluid DEX V2 - Fluid DEX V2, one of the most advanced DEXs in DeFi, went live on mainnet and will open to the public in the next few days
Lido V3 - Lido V3 is set to go on-chain this month
Monad launch - Monad L1 just launched today. I believe it’s worth exploring its ecosystem as there might be some interesting yield opportunities
Together with Figure Markets
Unlock instant liquidity with crypto-backed loans
Need cash for a major purchase and you don’t want to sell your BTC, ETH, and SOL?
Figure, the largest non-bank mortgage lender in the U.S., is making it easier and safer than ever.
Here’s how you can get a loan in just four steps:
Download the Figure Markets App on your smartphone
Create an account on the app
Deposit your collateral (choose between BTC, ETH, or SOL)
Receive cash or stablecoins instantly into your account
The interest rate is 8.91% (9.999% APR) for a loan at 50% LTV.
Figure has originated $16B+ in funded loans so far, and all collateral deposits sit in a decentralized custody wallet, where you can monitor them 24/7.
What’s interesting is that it also supports liquidation protection for its loans, so you no longer have to worry about the price volatility of your assets.
Whenever you need some cash, you can use Figure to get it in just a few clicks.
Get cash fast using crypto as collateral!
🛠️A new free airdrop checker
A new tool that I’ve recently discovered is Watchooor.
It’s a platform built specifically for airdrops. Here you can find airdrop strategies, a TGE calendar (which is still in the works though), an integrated bridge, and more.
But the main reason why I use it is its airdrop checker feature.
So far, this is the most comprehensive free airdrop checker I’ve found, as it checks your wallet addresses for over 59 airdrops in total.
It could be helpful to find potential unclaimed airdrops you didn’t know about.

Great roundup. The Chainlink ETF launch could be realy big if it follows the Bitcoin ETF patern. It feels like institutional products are slowly expanding beyond just BTC and ETH, which could bring more legitamacy to the oracle space.
