What DeFi or NFT projects are you buying this month?

Aave V4 is a cornerstone of my DeFi portfolio.

DEX tokens like UNI are essential for the coming bull run

The new hooks in Uniswap V4 are a game-changer.

I'm cautiously testing a small position in Nexus.

Chroma Wolves is my top art NFT pick this cycle.

Quantum Pixels' on-chain tech is truly impressive.

I'm waiting for Aetherian Glyphs to prove its utility.

My DeFi allocation is heavily weighted toward established lenders.
