Healthy market sign seeing individual tokens performing well after important catalysts:
Standard Chartered call for $100 thanks to tokenized equity adoption is one.
Crypto might be boring but traders are looking and actually FINDING good opportunities beyond tradfi.
Previous bear markets had runners, too, but those were pure narrative plays or degen trades (Hamster Racing, anyone?)

Crypto PTSD tells me $SPCX will end up as crypto hyped low-float/high-FDV token launches.
Tradfi is at the 'High-FDV is a meme' stage crypto was 2 years ago.
But $SPCS can't do 10x at current valuations, especially as unlocks start. Meaning all upside to IPO was taken by insiders. Retail is exit liquidity.
Exactly, the set up that Cobie criticized within crypto high-FDV launches.
Crypto's mission is to fix this by giving access to retail at lower valuations.
But pre-IPOs aren't it. Anyone who bought the pre-ipo perps at 1x-like leverage are underwater. At least we can easily short it.

Remember the ETH unstaking queue FUD?
Today the exit queue is at zero.
The entry queue has 3M ETH (~$5B) with a 52 day wait.
The main reasons seem to be:
- BitMine. The largest ETH staker now with 4M+ ETH staked, and they keep adding as they buy.
- Grayscale moves ETH to Coinbase Prime for staking, BlackRock's new staking ETF ETHB stakes up to 95% of its holdings. Five more ETF issuers waiting for approval
- Post-Pectra validator consolidations inflate the numbers a bit too
Pls share the exact entities, as the data isn't clear since deposits aren’t all public entities.

The Arbitrum Foundation is asking the DAO for ~$43.5M to fund another year of operations.
- $16M in RWAs/stablecoins
- 1,740 ETH (~$3.5M)
- and 230M $ARB (~$24M).
230M ARB is ~3.7% of total supply. For a year.
Meanwhile the DAO made $23.49M in revenue in 2025.
So the Foundation is operating at 2.3x DAO revenue.

What's the reason onchain options never picked up?
Too complex for crypto degens?
Memecoin/altcoin volatility more exciting, with better ROI potential?
Years ago, I wrote a blog post about options booming. I was wrong.
The Reddit crowd still loves options, but not the crypto degens.

Railgun’s $RAIL isn’t listed on any CEX:
- Price discovery happens purely onchain
- Relative to MC, mindshare on X, and the recent integration to Ethereum L1, trading volumes are very low (~$3M USD).
CEXs probably worry about compliance.
That’s why it’s amazing crypto managed to build decentralized protocols like Uniswap, where we can access all assets.
P.S. Does using Railgun flag your wallets in Chainalysis Source of Wealth/Proof of Funds reports?
