Guilhem Chaumont: Following the Flow Into Crypto’s Next Growth Phase

Delphi Digital

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Institutions Aren't Degens: They bring long-term capital, changing market cycles and focusing on foundational assets or tokenizing their own.
  2. Tokenize Everything: Future growth hinges on bringing RWAs on-chain, starting with liquid yield assets before tackling illiquidity.
  3. Infrastructure is the Bottleneck (and Opportunity): Building compliant, robust, and well-capitalized trading infrastructure like Flowdesk's is critical, but increasingly difficult, creating moats for established players.

Bits + Bips LIVE

Unchained

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Headline Risk Reigns: Forget fundamentals for now. Market direction hinges almost entirely on White House pronouncements and tariff developments; consistency is desperately needed to restore confidence.
  2. Liquidity is King (and Scarce): Thin markets amplify moves. Watch ETF volumes (over 35% signals stress) and hedge fund positioning (currently defensive, fuel for squeezes) for tactical clues.
  3. Crypto's Macro Moment Deferred?: While geopolitics boosts crypto's *raison d'être* as a non-state asset, it needs a clearer macro picture or strong regulatory/product catalysts to break free from its current risk-asset correlation. Watch the Yuan/USD rate for capital flight signals.
