Is The Crypto Bull Market Already Over?

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Fee Switch Is On. Uniswap's pivot to real-yield tokenomics is a watershed moment. Expect other DeFi protocols to follow, finally aligning token value with protocol success and rewarding long-term holders over mercenaries.
  2. Onshore ICOs Are Back. Coinbase’s new token sales platform for US retail is a massive signal that the industry believes the regulatory tide has turned. This could unlock a new wave of capital and mainstream participation.
  3. Privacy Is A High-Stakes Gamble. While the market is rewarding privacy tokens, the 5-year prison sentence for a wallet developer is a brutal reminder of the risks. Until clear rules are established, building privacy tools in the US remains legally treacherous.

Hash Rate - Ep 144 - SCORE Subnet 44

Hash Rate pod - Bittensor $TAO & Subnets

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Privacy is Paramount. SCORE’s use of TEEs for a private data track is the key that unlocks enterprise adoption, proving that decentralized networks can handle sensitive information securely.
  2. The 1/10th Price Model Wins. Leveraging Bittensor’s incentive structure allows subnets to radically undercut legacy competitors on price without sacrificing quality, opening up previously inaccessible markets.
  3. Tie Rewards to Revenue. The most sustainable tokenomic model directly links network emissions to real-world cash flow, ensuring the subnet's economy is grounded in tangible business success, not just speculation.

Lean Ethereum: How L1 Reaches 10k TPS | Beast Mode & Fort Mode

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Ethereum's New Offense:** Lean Ethereum marks a strategic pivot from a defensive, decentralization-first posture to an offensive "Beast Mode," targeting 10,000 TPS on L1—a 500x increase—to become the settlement layer for all of finance.
  2. **The Validator Role is Evolving:** The future validator will verify tiny cryptographic proofs on cheap hardware (like a smartphone), not execute massive blocks. This radical shift, enabled by ZK-EVMs, simultaneously boosts scale and decentralization.
  3. **L1 Scaling is Now Possible Without Centralization:** Unlike competitors who scale by using powerful hardware in data centers, Ethereum's use of SNARKs allows it to scale L1 while *decreasing* hardware requirements, reinforcing its core value proposition.

Hash Rate - Ep 142 - Targon (Subnet 4) Update

Hash Rate pod - Bittensor $TAO & Subnets

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Proof-of-Work Is Now Verifiable. Targon’s TVM introduces a new primitive for Bittensor, making "proof of useful work" cryptographically verifiable. This technology could become the network’s standard, eliminating fraud and ensuring capital flows to genuine contributors.
  2. The Internal Economy Is the Main Event. The focus has shifted from attracting external enterprise clients to building a robust, circular economy within Bittensor. The success of one subnet directly benefits others, creating a powerful collaborative incentive structure.
  3. Bittensor Is Playing the Long Game Against Centralized AI. The strategy is clear: build a resilient, hyper-efficient decentralized alternative while centralized AI players burn through unsustainable amounts of capital. When the market turns, Bittensor aims to be the "black hole" that absorbs the distressed compute assets.

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.
