Now that spring is finally here, it’s time to start transitioning your wardrobe from winter into the current season. That doesn’t necessarily mean put away all sweaters and coats, because as we know spring can be very fickle. But there are a few tricks to making those winter-looks more spring friendly.
Transitional Coats: Last week I talked about transitional coats, and these are the perfect items to add into your wardrobe right now. Lightweight, but will still keep you warm on a cool night. Spring Sweaters: Layer with a transitional coat, or wear on its own, some of your winter sweaters are easy to wear into spring. I lived in these cashmere sweaters from Everlane all winter, and I know I’ll be pairing them with skirts and shorts for spring. Pumps instead of Boots: I’ve traded in my boots for pumps. Keeping my feet warm isn’t a priority anymore, so it’s time to break out my favorite heels and pair back to effortless denim. These pumps have been worth the investment – I wear them the most during spring.
Tether minted $1 billion in USDT on the Tron network today, bringing its total minted tokens since January to 12 billion. This reflects growing demand for crypto and could signal bullishness.
Previously, major stablecoin issuances have led to a bullish cycle. With fresh inflows, the market sentiment is trending towards Greed, and Tether may facilitate more bullishness.
This new USDT minting could have broad market implications for a few reasons. Major net issuances often reflect growing demand from institutions and OTC desks that need large blocks of stablecoins for cross-border settlements or build-up before buying digital assets.
In isolation, this single issuance could push the needle in a bullish direction. However, since Lookonchain data shows a pattern of major mintings, Tether could spur a lot of optimism.
Despite recently hitting a three-year low, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index has been trending upward. It’s currently in Neutral but briefly exhibited Greed yesterday.
In other words, the market is primed to accept a bullish signal, and Tether’s major minting may provide it.
Still, not every mint equates to immediate market deployment. True bullish pressure arrives only when those new USDT hit exchange wallets. Luckily, that seems like a very achievable goal.
Upbit is listing two new tokens, the liquid staking asset Haedal and the blockchain project AltLayer. ALT has been listed on June 16, while the HAEDAL listing will happen on June 17.
Regardless, this delay may not have impacted Haedal much. Both tokens are showing similar price curves, with a dramatic spike curving down to rest on a higher floor.
Despite maintaining notoriety with moves like a $100 million token unlock, its price has consistently ticked downward. Today, however, Upbit’s listing gave ALT a powerful boost, causing its asset value to briefly double:
Haedal, a liquid staking token, has had a slightly different experience in a few ways. For one, it’s much younger, only launching its TGE in May 2025.
Shortly after that, Binance hosted its airdrop, causing its price to climb more than 60%. Compared to that sort of notoriety, Upbit’s own Haedal listing announcement has had a much smaller impact.
Although AltLayer is already live on Upbit, the exchange announced shortly after that Haedal’s listing would be postponed until tomorrow morning (local time). In its official statement, Upbit provided no justification for this delay but apologized for the inconvenience.
The announcement roughly aligns with Haedal’s valuation starting to diminish, but it’s hard to be sure if they’re directly correlated.
Upbit’s AltLayer listing proceeded without incident, but its price chart followed a similar pattern to Haedal. After all, the delay is only for a few hours, so it may not do much to discourage trading activity.
Despite lingering concerns about regulatory compliance issues, Upbit listing holds significance as South Korea is one of the fastest-growing crypto markets in the region.
