Finding Alpha In Crypto, Mamdani Wins & The AI Gold Rush | Weekly Roundup

Empire

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Ditch the Alts, Buy the Adopters.** The most compelling risk/reward is no longer in L1 tokens but in publicly traded companies effectively integrating blockchain. Think Stripe and Robinhood, not the 25th-largest token on CoinMarketCap.
  2. **Follow the Gamble.** The "gambling energy" from disillusioned younger generations is a powerful market force. That capital has pivoted from crypto to AI. The best trades lie in narratives that capture this retail attention.
  3. **Conviction Over Diversification.** In a market with no consensus, holding a portfolio of "pretty good" assets is a losing strategy. Raise cash by cutting low-conviction plays and concentrate firepower in your highest-conviction ideas.

Bull Market or Fakeout Top? Haseeb’s Crypto Cycle Take

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. AI Is The Only Game In Town: The crypto market is currently a passenger in a macro environment dictated by AI. Until that capital rotation shifts, crypto will likely remain highly correlated and susceptible to sell-offs when equities show weakness.
  2. Bitcoin’s Handover Is Bullish: Don't mistake consolidation for a bear market. Bitcoin is undergoing a healthy ownership transfer from early believers to new institutions, building a stronger, deeper foundation for its next leg up.
  3. Decentralization Is About Coercion, Not Paralysis: The ability of a chain’s validators to collectively intervene in a catastrophic hack is a feature, not a bug. True decentralization is measured by a network's ability to resist external pressure, not its inability to make collective decisions.
