BRIEF NEWS UPDATE
Macro: It was, as always, a mixed week in the Macro Market.
Microsoft's stock hits an all-time high, fueled by OpenAI optimism, while U.S. bank stocks tumble to an all-time low relative to the S&P 500 amid a bond crash. The oil market is set for its third consecutive weekly drop as tensions in the Middle East diminish. And finally, Apple delves into generative AI and ChatGPT is influencing Google’s dominance in search. AI infrastructure startup Ritual secures $25 million to fill gaps in the crypto market, despite U.S. export restrictions, as the Chinese AI chip market continues to grow.
AI will undoubtedly be a topic for the crypto bull market…
Crypto: Bullish signals persist in the crypto market. BlackRock's plans for a spot ETH ETF have provided a boost to Ethereum. However, Solana outperforms Ethereum in daily active addresses and sees a 20% surge in SOL, offsetting 18 months of decline.
Memecoins are also continuing to perform well, with $Grok hitting a $160 million market cap until a tweet exposes the project's fraudulent origins, triggering a discussion and an unexpected increase in the value of $Andy. Nevertheless, the community remains eager for market opportunities.

PROJECT OF THE WEEK
New Bitcoin City
Certainly, FriendTech remains the frontrunner regarding SocialFi, and often, the imitations don't survive in the end. However, it's worth mentioning New Bitcoin City, which is renaming itself to Alpha, for three reasons:
Alpha:
1. All 13 team members own CryptoPunk. While there's speculation that Larva Labs might be involved, it's important to note that these are merely rumors at this stage.
2. An upcoming airdrop is on the horizon and it's shaping up to be more substantial than initially expected.
3. The team consistently delivers weekly updates and advancements, a level of transparency and diligence that is quite uncommon (refer to the image above).
TWEET OF THE WEEK

PROJECT VOLUME
Neo Tokyo Outer Citizens
A project that hardly anyone is talking about, but has a large network and an impressive floor of over 9 ETH. This week, it has seen a volume increase of over 1,000%.
