AI & Central Planning Are Propping Up the Economy | Weekly Roundup

Forward Guidance

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Bet on sectors backed by government policy and secular themes like metals and mining to lower internal volatility and stay ahead of potential inflation.
  2. Be wary of the market structure, especially with highly concentrated assets like MAG7, as high-frequency trading can amplify price abnormalities and systemic risks.
  3. Watch for policy shifts and potential bottlenecks in capacity build-out, commodities, and labor in the AI and energy sectors, which could catalyze significant market changes.

LIVE: BITGO IPO, HIP-3, KNTQ | 0xResearch

0xResearch

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Capital no longer distinguishes between AI stocks and rare metals. Investors treat these as a single risk-on bucket settled on-chain.
  2. Monitor Hyperliquid deployers. Identify protocols moving from passive yield to active market-making to capture the next commodity rotation.
  3. The next year will favor platforms providing access to diverse asset classes. Pure crypto protocols must adapt or lose mindshare to trade everything venues.

The Intersection of AI and Crypto: What Worked, What Didn’t, and What’s Next | Roundup

Bell Curve

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The market is moving from the "Compute Layer" to the "Agentic Layer." Owning the GPU is less valuable than owning the agent that controls the wallet.
