Happy Spring, Observers!

It is all about perspective: while the prices of cryptocurrencies went downhill during the past week, on the regulatory front, the last couple of days were great.

In the United States, the Court of Appeals dismissed the claims of a class action lawsuit against Uniswap that accused the decentralized exchange of inadequately screening tokens.

Despite the recent popularity jump, Celestia’s token is currently trading at 80% less than its all-time high. While its cheap data storage value proposition is strong, the Layer 1 is still an infant compared to household names such as Ethereum or Solana.
