This Week on web3 5min recap

Summary of market information and major news.

Good morning.
This is mitsui from web3researcher.

Since we have turned Saturdays and Sundays into podcasts, we will now be offering a "Summary of the (last) week" every Monday. We will combine the "Market Information and Major News Summary" that we used to deliver on Saturdays and the "Fundraising PJ Summary" that we used to deliver on Sundays, so that this article will be a review of the web3 market for the past week!

So here you go!

Let's start with market information and major news
