One Chart Determines if We're in a Bull or Bear Market

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Global liquidity is the ultimate macro signal. As long as the global liquidity chart goes up and to the right, the crypto bull market has the fuel it needs to continue its run.
  2. Ethereum isn't losing; it's quietly winning the RWA war. With 93% market share, Ethereum has become the de facto settlement layer for tokenized real-world assets, a lead that continues to grow as institutions like Fidelity build directly on its L1.
  3. The new blockchain business model is asset management. Chains like Hyperliquid and Mega ETH are pioneering a shift away from relying solely on blockspace fees. By integrating native stablecoins, they are capturing a percentage of the yield from assets on-chain, effectively turning the protocol itself into a revenue-generating asset manager.

Sanctum Founder: Solana's Liquid Staking Future | FP Lee

Lightspeed

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. LSTs Are a Distribution Play: For protocols, launching an LST is less about staking yield and more about attracting SOL to gain a strategic advantage in securing blockspace and landing transactions.
  2. Infrastructure Follows the User: Sanctum's pivot to transaction services was not a top-down mandate but a direct response to the needs of its largest partners, proving that the most durable infrastructure is built by solving the immediate, pressing problems of your customers.
  3. Aggregation Is King: Just as Jupiter won by aggregating DEXs for users, Sanctum’s Gateway aims to win by aggregating fragmented transaction delivery networks for developers, creating a simpler and more efficient experience.

Still Time To Be Bullish?

1000x Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Patience is Your Superpower. This cycle rewards thesis-driven investing over hyperactive trading. Identify assets with strong value, momentum, and fundamentals, and give them time to play out.
  2. Bet on the On-Chain Casino. The gambling economy is real, profitable, and growing. Look for platforms that facilitate high-asymmetry games (memecoins, raffles) as they capture a powerful cultural trend.
  3. Find Alpha in the Illiquid. The next frontier is tokenizing real-world value. Platforms creating liquid markets for previously stuck assets—from collectibles to crime—are building foundational infrastructure for a much larger on-chain world.

Hyperliquid: The Fastest Growing Exchange in Crypto?

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Revenue Accrual is King. Hyperliquid's model of directing nearly all top-line revenue to token buybacks creates an aggressive and constant bid for the HYPE token, a feature most crypto projects can only dream of.
  2. Product-First Beats VC-First. Its explosive growth comes from building a superior product that attracted a loyal user base first, then leveraging that traction to build an L1 ecosystem—a stark contrast to the typical VC-funded playbook.
  3. A Bet on the Middle Ground. Investing in HYPE is a bet that CEX-level performance and on-chain transparency can outweigh significant centralization and regulatory risks. It’s a category-defining play that sits squarely between DeFi and CeFi.
