Buybacks sound good on paper, but markets don’t reward them in a drawdown. When macro turns risk-off, tokens with buybacks and low P/E get hit just like everything else or sometimes worse. Cash flow doesn’t immunize price from sentiment.

Perp DEX tokens still trade like pure beta, tightly tied to overall crypto attention. Execution across venues feels commoditized for retail, but transparency isn’t: buybacks, revenue splits, incentives. Over time, price dispersion will likely come from who actually opens the

Your point about the UX benefits is spot on. When a platform is built on open standards, it creates a whole ecosystem of alternative tools and interfaces and this doesn't only provide resilience in case the primary service goes down but also offers users flexibility in unexpected

We just saw the sharpest ERC-20 stablecoin drawdown of this cycle. Supply dropped ~$7B in a week as capital rotated back to fiat and excess stables got burned. Historically that’s a risk-off tell & it needs to reverse fast to stay cyclical, not structural.

Lending keeps gaining share inside DeFi. Over the past year, it grew from ~16.6% to 21.3% of total TVL slow, structural expansion rather than a narrative spike.

Volatility looks mispriced again. Historically, when IV trades well below fair value near $BTC highs, drawdowns follow which is the last signal fired days before October’s liquidation cascade. Indicators now point to volatility skewing higher, not lower.

spaace_io is clearly evolving from pure attention farming into real influence. shifting $1.2m from infofi to an ambassador leaderboard sends a clear signal: reward voice, content, and actual user growth, not low-quality spam. weekly epochs combined with a battle pass and

Rough stat: nearly 80% of hacked crypto projects never make it back. The exploit hurts, but the trust death is what actually kills them.

Lazy Summer is showing what “automated risk management” actually looks like. When Stream Finance blew up, the vault rebalanced out of risk and rotated into blue-chip strategies without users touching anything. Yield is optional but capital preservation isn’t.

Only \~$500K of STRK actually bridged to Solana. Solana $SOL) got some extra volume and visibility, Starknet mostly got headlines and friction. Still an interesting cross-chain experiment between two direct competitors.

Seems the market is against me I longed $BTC and now it's going back to the trenches. who did I offend?

Pure BTC mining stopped being alpha. Post-halving, companies without revenue beyond hashprice drifted sideways or bled out 40--70%, while the green names were the ones selling AI compute, hosting, or fixed-demand capacity. BTC beta isn't a strategy anymore.

Tokenized assets quietly became the fastest-growing sector in crypto. Stablecoin market cap just cleared $307B, and most of the growth is structural, not speculative. Rails keep scaling even when narratives rotate.

Yield-bearing stablecoins quietly went parabolic. $sUSDS, $sUSDe, $BUIDL, $USYC, $syrupUSDC now sit north of $13B in supply after just \~18 months. Stablecoins that actually pay are turning idle cash into infrastructure.

Trading comes down to 3 things👇 • Ability to take profit • Ability to have conviction • Ability to stick to your initial plan \& not be emotional Master these and success will follow.

DeFi's log-scale chart shows three big step functions, one brutal reset, and now a slow rebuild. The next real breakout probably won't come from hype but it'll need a new capital sink.
