Bitcoin’s recent bounce and the surge in altcoins suggest that the beginning stages of the next bull run may have started. Bitcoin hit its all-time high in November 2021 and, if the recent low of $15,742 is the bottom, it took 378 days to go from all-time high to cycle low – timing that fits with previous cycles. During the beginning stages of the next bull run, the most profits can be made. Illuvium is identified as the first AAA play-to-earn, web3 game and is expected to be a top performer this coming bull run, with assets potentially being integrated with Synthetix. Maple Finance is also viewed positively as it has issued over $1.9 billion in loans and has announced v2 of its lending and borrowing platform.
