Welcome to the 9th edition of the Techemynt fortnightly newsletter. Throughout global financial markets, the US Dollar is dominating. The Greenback has been on a relentless rise this year and has approached parity levels against the Euro and the Sterling. It has also performed strongly against the New Zealand dollar.<\/p>\n
The rising interest rates in the United States, an uncertain global macro environment, and the dollar\u2019s position as the world\u2019s most liquid currency are pulling money towards it. Despite this, there is still growing demand to mint NZDS. There are market participants who view digitization, and not dollarization, as a preferred macro hedge option.<\/p>\n<\/div>

- NZDS dashboard analytics live on Dune<\/li>\n
- The total cumulative DEX volume of NZDS<\/li>\n
- The total supply of NZDS returns to levels above 7 million<\/li>\n
- Defi Basket is now called Picnic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
