0xResearch - Crypto Treasury Mania, Stocks Onchain, and Crypto Venture | July 3rd, 2025

0xResearch

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **The Great Bifurcation:** Capital is rotating out of altcoins and into two main buckets: Bitcoin (channeled through treasury companies) and crypto-adjacent equities (COIN, HOOD). Don't mistake isolated pumps for a broad "alt season."
  2. **Synthetics are the New Speculation:** The next wave of on-chain gambling will be on synthetic versions of real-world assets, from private company shares to public stocks, providing exposure without the complexity of ownership.
  3. **Apps Over Chains:** The most valuable real estate in crypto is no longer the base layer but the application layer. Companies that build sticky, revenue-generating products with great UX—even if they just clip fees—are winning.

How Stablecoins Are Hijacking The Yield Curve

Forward Guidance

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Exporting US Monetary Policy. Stablecoins are extending the US financial system's reach by creating a global on-ramp to dollar assets. Demand from emerging markets now directly impacts US Treasury yields.
  2. The Repo Market is the Epicenter. The crucial arena for stablecoin reserves is shifting from T-bills to the reverse repo market. This creates a massive, structural demand for overnight lending against Treasury collateral.
  3. A Permanent Weight on the Yield Curve. This constant, inelastic demand from stablecoin issuers will act as a permanent force suppressing Treasury funding rates, creating a powerful and lasting influence on the entire US yield curve.

Is Robinhood Unlocking Crypto’s Next Frontier?

1000x Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Robinhood is the Blueprint. Its plan to launch tokenized assets on its own future Layer-2 is the new model for financial institutions, creating a direct challenge to the supremacy of existing public blockchains.
  2. Become a Trader, Not a "Crypto Trader". The most successful investors will be those who treat crypto as one of several asset classes, moving capital opportunistically based on macro trends, political shifts, and emerging frontiers like prediction markets.
  3. Politics Will Drive Your Portfolio. While both US political parties are expected to debase the dollar through spending, they present different risks. The Republican party is seen as bullish for risk assets via deregulation, while a progressive Democratic shift could introduce bearish headwinds through redistributionist policies.

Sideways Crypto Markets? How Much Longer? Onchain Data Explained

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Don't Mistake Sideways for Collapse. The market is in a period of accumulation. On-chain data shows long-term Bitcoin holders are at all-time highs, forming a powerful price floor.
  2. Buy the Hate. Abysmal sentiment in altcoins is a strong contrarian signal. "Fair value" metrics like MVRV for ETH and SOL indicate a prime buying window is open now, ahead of a potential rally.
  3. Watch the Fed. The ultimate catalyst is global liquidity. A cut in the Fed funds rate, which markets price with a ~75% chance for September, is the primary trigger for crypto's next major leg up.
