• DV’s internal retail flowssurged more than 10x during the dog coin run last week. Most interestingly, wedidn’t see as much of a buying skew as would be expected and saw most retailflows being balanced or even skewed to be selling as DOGE,SHIB,PEPE,WIF surged.
• We also saw much heavier volume on SHIB than the newer meme coinswhich also contributes to thesis that a lot of retail was selling coins theywere bag holding through the bear market

→ AI and New Gaming coins ($PIXEL +70%, $MAVIA +40%) were the flavorof the week (see last weeks note where we picked AI coins as the next rotationafter memes)

→ $SOL options relisted onDeribit

Upcoming Catalysts / Trade Ideas

→ Basis trading/funding arbitrage

• Funding and basis trades havecontinued to perform well with CME trading around 20-25% annualized thismorning and the offshore venues upwards of 40% on the dated futures on BTC andETH
• Down the tail of assets seeingeven higher yields (upwards of 100% APR) via trading perpetual swap basis onthe offshore venues.
• If you are an ECP and haveinterest in these delta neutral funding strats, please reach out to the deskand we can draw up bespoke forwards to take advantage of these premiums

→ $ETH Dencun Upgrade, 3/13

• We like ETH L2s and ETH betagoing into the upgrade

→ $ARB $2.2B unlock, 3/16

• We like this as a short goinginto the unlock, paired with $OP, $ETH, or $MATIC to hedge, however it’s worthnoting that it’s already been getting priced in - as $ARB has been a noticeablelaggard since last week

→ BTC Halvening, 4/17

• $STX and $ORDI are the twoleading “BTC Ecosystem” Tokens to bet on BTC Beta

→ Nvidia AI conference, 3/18

• AI tokens pumped hard lastweek, the trade might be ‘’sell the news’’ at this point

 → $LDO (Repost from previous weeks)

• We think $LDO is poised tooutperform as it should benefit from a re-staking narrative that’s heating upinto the Eigenlayer airdrop
• Having a whopping $30B in TVL,LDO arguably is the biggest beneficiary from the Uniswap fee switch proposal,but the token didn’t seem to react to the Uniswap news
  • we believe that as the marketdigests the news and if the proposal passes, there’s good odds that a $LDO feeswitch narrative emerges giving it good R/R as a bet

→ $MATIC (Repost from previous weeks)

• Upcoming token migration to$POL, with a new set of tokenomics
  • $POL staking for airdrops(potentially $Avail?)
• AggLayer narrative emerging
