> **Visual Note:** A screenshot of a performance chart showing data on Ether (ETH) and DeFi (DEX) tokens, with Ether's average price at $37.2 and DeFi DEX tokens' average price at $25.8 per token over 1-month periods. The chart is titled "Some insights from @artemis ’s 1-month DEX/perp DEX token performance: Solana, Ethereum, Ripple, Altair, Avalanche, Chainlink" in bold red text below the graph, and a green bar next to Ether's average price reads "solana". The post also mentions that the market is getting selective with new tokens.
