Stablecoins in 2025: The Breakout Year In Review (And What Comes Next...)

The Rollup

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Strategic Implication: The YBS market is shifting from speculative yield farming to a foundational layer for tokenized finance, driven by institutional interest and RWA integration.
  2. Builder/Investor Note: Prioritize YBS protocols with diversified yield strategies and robust risk management (e.g., first-loss tranches). Builders should focus on RWA infrastructure and sustainable, real-world yield mechanisms.
  3. The "So What?": The convergence of declining traditional rates and maturing RWA tokenization will funnel significant capital into diversified, transparent YBS. Protocols prioritizing these elements will capture the lion's share of the projected $100 billion TVL.

Crypto Treasury Stocks Trade Far Below Their Holdings. Is It Time to Buy?

Unchained

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Strategic Implication: The market is re-evaluating crypto-holding companies, punishing those without clear value-add beyond asset accumulation. The "MNAV of 1" is the expected long-term anchor.
  2. Builder/Investor Note: This is a high-conviction, long-term play, not a quick arbitrage. Investors must conduct deep due diligence on each company's balance sheet, share structure, and operational strategy.
  3. The "So What?": For the next 6-12 months, expect continued volatility and company-specific challenges. The path to MNAV parity will be bumpy, driven by broader market recovery, potential M&A, and individual company execution, not a simple market mechanism.
