alpha un# weekly roundup

29th Jan 2025 to 4th Feb 2025

This week, crypto markets saw sharp swings, driven by geopolitical tensions and regulatory shifts. Major tokens tumbled after President Trump announced fresh tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, shaking investor confidence.  Meanwhile, in a significant policy move, a bipartisan initiative in the U.S. Congress is pushing for clearer regulations to support digital assets, aiming to provide a well-defined framework for the industry.

DeFi highlights:

The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector faced challenges this week, with the Total Value Locked (TVL) across DeFi protocols decreasing by approximately $15 billion in a single day, bringing the TVL to around $127.3 billion. This decline was primarily due to market turmoil and significant sell-offs.
