If you’re into crypto news that comes from beyond the top 20 coins, you might be familiar with the រឿង ជុំវិញ រលក [WAVES] and Neutrino USD [USDN]. In short, this involved the stablecoin USDN losing that status as it oozed value, while Waves founder Sasha Ivanov blamed Alameda Research for leading a FUD campaign against the flailing WAVES.
លោក Sam Bankman-Fried នាយកប្រតិបត្តិ FTX សំរាម these claims, but now that the waters have settled (a little), let’s take a look at what’s going on in the WAVES community.
Waving goodbye to the past
On 6 April, Ivanov claimed that he had bought five million USDN. The ex-stablecoin, which fell down to $0.78 at one point, was trading at $0.9131 close to press time.
Today I:

What’s more, the Waves founder indicated that he planned to buy more USDN at a discount and perhaps turn Waves into a DAO. Strong ideas do have the potential to attract investors, but USDN was still trading far below its original price since being de-linked from its peg early in April.
However, DAOs are a glamorous word in the industry – take a look at the TRON project, now officially called TRON DAO on Twitter.
Making a splash. . .or a bellyflop
What about WAVES, in that case? Even though the market was turning red, the #44 biggest crypto by មួកទីផ្សារ was trading at $29.27, after falling by 13.50% in the last 24 hours and diving by 44.28% in the last week.
However, trading volumes were still spiking, suggesting that many investors might be looking at this fall as a “buy the dip” opportunity – in case WAVES sees another vertical rally again.
Is Vires veering or stabilizing?
Another puzzle piece: Vires Finance, the liquidity protocol for Waves – where Ivanov បានអះអាង he discovered evidence of Alameda Research’s attempt to short WAVES – put out a proposal explaining how the economics of the ecosystem might be changing to stop price manipulation in the future. It បានបញ្ជាក់,
“ដើម្បីទប់ស្កាត់ការកេងប្រវ័ញ្ចតម្លៃ និងការពារប្រព័ន្ធអេកូឡូស៊ី ខ្ញុំស្នើឱ្យកាត់បន្ថយកម្រិតទូទាត់បណ្តោះអាសន្នសម្រាប់ការខ្ចីប្រាក់ Waves និង USDN មកត្រឹម 0.1% ។ ខ្ញុំក៏ស្នើឱ្យកំណត់ការខ្ចីប្រាក់ APR អតិបរមាត្រឹម ៤០%»។
When users complained they did not understand the impact, Waves developer advocate and engineer Inal Kardanov said an explanation would come – if his tweet got enough love.
I see that many people don’t understand what this proposal for @viresfinance means for them and their money ? Like and retweet it if you want to read a thread-explainer ? https://t.co/ST9hhhW2Qm

គិតត្រឹមម៉ោងសារព័ត៌មាន 28.9k were in favor of ចលនាខណៈពេលដែលការ 24.7k were against it. What’s more, Waves and USDN were still trending terms on Santiment.
