How $NFTX financialized NFTs is rather clever. Wrapping ERC-721 into divisible ERC-20 tokens is basically issuing NFT-backed-tokens (similar to ABS) which can interact with broader #DeFi ecosystem. Price of said ERC-20 represents a rough median market-clearing px of underlying.

Since Talking about $GME is in vogue these days...here's the most shorted stocks currently on the street, wonder who's next. The larger HFs would almost certainly have to front-run this and degross when all the WSB degens are looking at this exact same pic.

ECB Dovish + PBOC cut rates. FOMC Jan 26 set up well for more dovish stance from Jerome re: QE / QT + rates. Watch VIX, 10Y, ARKK / Nasdaq, and DXY closely. Path-dependent but reversal from hawkishness will be your signal to run it back turbo (until the Fed's tone changes again)

By popular request. Watch $SUSHI very closely in the coming weeks...Miso is just the beginning. Also can someone help point me to (a) whether the 1inch TVL is right -- I'm getting from their analytics site and (b) how one should think about take-rate on 1inch volume?

Good work by @Lucas ; here's my latest visual. Think Sushi is >2x undervalued vs. $UNI. $UNI and $AAVE seem to be catching inst. bids, $UNI also trades like pot'l v3 release w/ inside info. FWIW I expect gap to close w/ catalyst w/ $SUSHI on Bentobox, Mirin, & other good stuff ๐Ÿ‘€

Read COMP chain doc. Appears @rleshner is building an open, permissioned hub (via separate chain) for x-chain asset lend / borrow (similar to $RUNE in a way), also with USDC/T/DAI competitor emerging. Think he's prepping for (a) custody of real-world asset & (b) TradFi entries

(23) We think cross-chain bridges as toll-roads can be sizable businesses going forward โ€“ in particular, whether its L1-L1, or L2-L2, there could be significant lending / borrowing needs (for immediate access). They seem primed for multi-layer, multi-chain world.

Still forming a thesis (backed by #'s) on $MATIC but I think there's a narrative to be had by the market of it being the fastest horse in the L2-explosion / Roll-up as a service future. Assuming the CDK becomes the standard for RaaS + liquidity / bridge aggregation and say

Why do intelligent college folks these days even want to work at an iBank? Honest Q. If one's real savvy you get into PE / HF right away. If one's got tech chops FANG then entrepreneurship seem much higher upside. If one's got all of above & vision, then drop-out = big upside.

Call me crazy but 1 of nuclear bear case I had was if Chinese gov silently accumulates rigs until they blitzkrieg miners within 48-hour window (wen CN hash still dominant) & 51% attack $BTC network (& burn maybe couple hundred mil doing so). That risk seems much more remote now.

$MKR and $COMP mooned because they temporarily became inventory for high ROI endeavors like farming $YAM (in fact, much like $ETH during 17 ICO); but $ETH's token design remains crippled that prevents it from capturing much value from all the actions within the ecosystem

Thesis 1 : As NFT heats up this cycle, most people won't have the time to hand-pick but would instead just want to ape an index / ERC-20 or a fund-equivalent. Thesis 2: As NFT reaches the Gartner top of this cycle, holders of NFT would want to instadump vs. auction off slowly.
