Blur's looming shutdown forced Yuga's hand this week: the co-founder told Ape holders to revoke their Blur approvals, then began refinancing Blend loans on apes, mutants and doodles over to Gondi. Pudgy Penguins told the opposite story — Adam Weitsman's 117-piece buy popped the floor, and within days it slid back to 2.22 ETH, below where his rescue started. The tracked market closed the week down 8.4%, with the loudest trades coming from Opepen and CloneX.
