‍

Market Recap

• ETF Flows flipped positive again following a negative week

‍

• Fidelity files S-1 form for Spot ETH ETF with staking included
  ‍

  ‍
• Degenchain L3 on Base activity ramped up this week

• We’re starting to see supply/emissions matter more in this market
  • April shaping up to be one of the largest airdrop months this cycle (more details below)
  • Emissions/unlocks accelerating in many high FDV projects (more details below)
  • We’re expecting the next phase of the cycle to be characterized by dilution and dispersion

Upcoming Catalysts / Trade Ideas

• BTC Halvening, 4/20
  ‍
• Ethena announces $ENA, 4/2
  • Trading $0.65 on AEVO premarket, implying ~500mm notional of tokens airdropped and ~10B FDV
    ‍
• APTOS Conference, 4/2
  • there’s been talks of a big tradfi institution partnering with aptos
    ‍
• SUI Conference, 4/10
  • SUI has been trading well ahead of their conference
  • SUI has unlocks coming up this May/June, one of the largest cliff unlocks this year
    ‍
• STX Nakamoto Upgrade, 4/15
  • “first SEC-compliant blockchain”
  • we think it’s worth being early users/testers of the chain post upgrade, as there’s tremendous interest in defi on Bitcoin and Bitcoin L2s, as shown by Merlin chain’s 3Bn TVL amassed shortly after launch
  • the limiting factor at the moment is UI/UX, stacks (pre upgrade) and Ordinal ecosystem leaving a lot to be desired
    ‍
• STRK Unlock, 4/16
  • 64m tokens unlock, and will continue monthly thereafter
  • We think emissions in high FDV products will be very impactful in this market
    ‍
• Doge Day, 4/20
  ‍
• $PARCL announced 7-8% supply airdropped this month
  • AEVO pre market futures implies 1.8B FDV
    ‍
• Eigen Launch, widely expected to be this month
  ‍
• $SYN currently trades at $240m fully diluted
  • we think it can be re-rated heading into Wormhole (W) and LayerZero TGE
  • Wormhole currently trades 16Bn fdv implied by Aevo futures
  • LayerZero TGE rumored to be in June
