About this episode
In today’s episode of Empire, we discuss how we've just entered the third phase of the bear market. A phase marked by apathy. We explore what this means for builders, investors and the industry. If you're still here (in crypto), you don't want to miss this.
We then cover why Aptos' price is pumping, Circles CCTP news, the controversial Doodles announcement and more!
