There are a handful of tokens that are likely beneficiaries of traditional allocator flows (tech hedge funds, high net worth, single/multi family offices) based on fundamentals, asset lindyness, and addressable market. $AAVE is one of them
Excited to announce Coinbase Tokenized Stocks are now live on Aave V4 on @base. Users can borrow USDC against tokenized stocks. Aave is on a mission to bring the $200T global equities market onchain.

“Most liquid allocators are meaningfully undersized to Ethena when considering the scale of the opportunity” —— The way to think about Ethena TAM/SAM is to imagine the total future market cap of stablecoins, what % of that market will seek yield, what % of those seeking yield want more than SOFR, and that’s how you calculate the Ethena opportunity. I anticipate it will be in the hundreds of billions in the not so far out future. There is no other team that has done better risk management, earned consistent yield above SOFR, has more distribution, and is better capitalized than Ethena. There are very, very few projects in crypto with as much potential upside as Ethena.
$ENA is one of the primary beneficiaries of more trading activity leading to higher yields and in turn reflexive growth of USDE and now with this expansion their serviceable addressable market expanded massively. In my opinion most liquid allocators are meaningfully undersized Ethena when considering the scale of the opportunity. Just as a reminder there are only 4 stablecoins which have real scale, network effects, and distribution and USDE is one of them (and I think the top one outside of USDT and USDC)

DCF usually gets these things right
Over the past few months dcf cap has accumulated almost 1% of the grass supply It hits all the right narratives - high revenue / growth, ai, and decentralized compute There’s low emissions as they paid node operators in usdc and investors have been vesting for a bit already And the team has very clearly said the equity is worthless and everything is for the token… compare to vvv, which is a multi b ai bet even with equity v token drama It hasn’t caught a bid because the revenues are off chain We just got our first re rating as they proved last year and 2026 H1 revenue was real We will get our next when their projected 2026 revenue of $60 - 70M is proven real And another when they finally do some meaningful buybacks instead of reinvesting Also helps that Austin and the @Delphi_Digital team continue to support them Note: dcf cap holds @grass

$ENA is one of the most reflexive assets as yields come back (and the one with the best distribution). In my opinion people got too bullish in the 2024 bull market and too bearish in 2025/2026. Great setup especially as the token is starting to show real price momentum
The basis trade is already back to 20% of USDe’s backing. Expect that share to rise gradually as this rolls out. Incredibly bullish for Ethena.

Ethena is partnering with @Binance as our first venue for the extension of the basis trade into equity perpetuals, one of the most exciting updates to the USDe collateral backing since launch. This expands the addressable market of underlying collateral from $2.5 trillion of crypto to $150 trillion+ of real-world assets. As part of the partnership, bStocks will serve as tokenized spot collateral, hedged with Binance USDT-denominated equity perpetuals - the same delta-neutral structure Ethena has securely executed across crypto assets since inception. Importantly, Binance provides lower ADL priority for eligible delta-neutral accounts including Ethena's, adding another layer of risk mitigation for USDe holders. Binance equity basis has averaged ~11%+ annualized over the past 6 months, while open interest has grown on average ~30% per month in the last 3 month period. We expect the market opportunity size for equity perpetuals to far exceed the $15b+ of crypto perpetuals captured by Ethena last cycle. Allocations begin today.

1/ Today we launched Catapult, an RWA accelerator backed by RockawayX incubation, liquidity, and curation support with industry-leading mentors. Catapult builds on our thesis that the growth of yield-bearing RWAs onchain will be explosive, but face an obvious gap today - they crave differentiated, scalable yield. We're looking for that differentiated yield and pairing it with our proven model that helps overcome any challenges that good RWAs face in scaling. More on our thesis and how to apply 👇

Investing in the companies and protocols building at the intersection of crypto and AI is a core thesis at @RockawayX Liquid. There are only a few tokens at that intersection that have real fundamentals, strong growth, and durable market share. In my opinion, those tokens are likely to see meaningful multiple expansion as capital is allocated to that small set of high quality assets. We've already seen one of those assets more than 10x ytd.
Our latest research paper explores the growing connection between AI and digital assets and explains why broad AI adoption may drive new demand, utility and applications across the digital asset economy. blackrock.com/us/individual/…

$ZEC price support from buyers waiting for any pullback continues to be so strong. It has already recovered almost the entire move down after BTC dropped from 86K to 84K this morning while BTC has only recovered to 84.5K

Nice move in $GRASS to the $0.47 resistance level from prior support around $0.30. In the past, continuation through those levels has seen follow through to the $0.61 level. We are also lining up with the positive trend line from the lows earlier this year. With $GRASS starting to improve comms (bringing attn to the strong fundamentals/growth/unique opportunity serving frontier AI labs) and their upcoming product releases, a daily close above $0.47 is a nice setup to potentially wick up to $0.61. This is a token that has lagged through broader market and is a candidate for a catchup trade which in my opinion gives it a decent chance to break though $0.61 in which case next resistance is in the $0.90 range. Pretty strong setup
$GRASS is one of the most interesting tokens at the intersection of crypto and AI as it 1) plays a critical role across model training and usage, 2) has a triple digit annual growth rate, and 3) is trading at ~6x forward revenue with strong gross margins despite the above. In my opinion, as revenue growth accelerates in the second half of the year, new product releases (LCR) approach, and the team takes the market's feedback to heart and increases the cadence of financial and traction updates, we will likely see a re-rating to closer to my own estimate of fair value which is approximately $GRASS at $1.50. Grass Network is a direct beneficiary of continued growth in AI usage by both providing the major frontier labs the structured data needed for model pretraining and also as it expands its product set to provide real-time data to models during inference. One of the major pushbacks to Grass has been the lack of frequent updates of their financial progress which is a reason Grass is still trading at what is in my opinion such an attractive relative valuation. I think the team recognizes this dynamic and this report is them hearing the market's feedback and making the right adjustments. Great sign when an exceptional team recognizes the areas for improvement and levels up.

nice to see, but for all paying attention keep in mind that these numbers do not yet reflect 1) pretraining data purchase/budget cycles at the major labs (which are much more back half of the year heavy) and 2) the 2-3 order magnitude larger TAM in live retrieval + inference time search products (that this team will inevitably dominate in)
