Here's my positioning thesis.
I’m leaning into deflationary tokenomics, real revenue protocols, and infrastructure narratives like AI‑Fi and Base.
Liquidity is settling at the bottom of the curve, in places where theres cashflow.
ETF inflows came in and the smart capital is rotating to yield-bearing, high-utility infra plays.
Here are some altcoins I am hugely bullish on👇
1/ Stablecoins ≠ Optional
TradFi’s grip on dollar custody is eroding. Even if Circle collapses, the stablecoin trade won’t. My “still‑conviction” plays:
• $MKR — Owns the backend of DAI; real cash flow, massive upside from stablecoin demand reflexivity.
• $PENDLE — The structured product desk of crypto. When stables flow in, people look for safe yield.
2/ Attention‑Fi Is Here to Stay
Tokens turned attention into liquidity. Hype cycles fade but infra survives.
• $ETHOS Validator NFT — Bet on curation moats and value accrual through participation.
• $LOUDIO — Shows why short-term hype ≠ long-term positioning.
• $COOKIE — Tracks intent, not noise. If they win the wallet-native ad stack, Cookie becomes unignorable. It’s $KAITO with better infra and better signal.
3/ Deflation + Cash Flow = Mispriced Fundamentals
• $CAKE — Filter out fake emissions: net weekly mint is deeply negative. Currently trading at ~1.1× earnings. Quietly one of DeFi’s most deflationary majors.
• $GNS — 23.4% YoY burn rate driven by consistent perp volume. Expected this to fade with new entrants, but it’s holding ground. Still one of the most underdiscussed cash-printing machines.
• $SOLV — Huge fees and revenue accumulated and a leading Bitcoin-native finance protocol. First to achieve Shariah-compliance, integrated with Binance Earn where no other Bitcoin project have done so, no major drawdown during market stress. Sovereign and institutional allocators are coming in.
• $FXN — Zero-interest leverage. Flashloan-powered rebalancing. No forced liquidations. TVL up 80% in weeks, Mcap/TVL ~0.03x.
• $HYPE — Already $25M+ HYPE bought back by assistance fund. Whales & institutional players depositing is a massive credibility signal. Buybacks > emissions = one of the most aggressively deflationary L1 tokens. 4th largest L1 by some key http://metrics.Marketing loop > paid shilling, performance-based narrative engine. BNB 2.0.
4/ AI‑Fi x Base x TAO
There’s a weirdly potent convergence forming:
• $BID — Deploying TAO subnets (SN6, SN18, SN47).
• $DKING = prediction‑market agent. Founder claims a hedge‑fund will route $300 M through it. Moon or doom, nothing in‑between.
• $TAO — Beneficiary if subnet narratives keep popping. Still a reflexive trade.
5/ Base Rotation: AERO ⇒ VELO
• $AERO — Riding Base hype and Coinbase flows.
• $VELO — Always lagged AERO, now has a narrative with $INK. Kraken’s TVL injection into InkChain could finally wake this up.
6/ Infra Rotation: Where the Real Flows Go
• $FLUID — Powering Jupiter Lend. 90% LTV, 0.1% fee, Solana-native. Feels like Aave’s launch moment.
• $MORPHO — #2 lender by TVL, with P2P lending engine built like AWS for DeFi credit. Integrated into legacy protocols like Compound.
• $ZRO — Omnichain comms default. DVN mechanics + integrations = toll booth infra.
• $INIT — Shopify of appchains. 18 chains live. Liquidity and execution stack pre-bundled. Watching MEV fee capture next.
• $WLD — You don’t have to like it, but 12.5M verified humans and deep integrations mean it’s the default Sybil resistance layer. If Proof of Humanity wins, this becomes the passport to on-chain everything.
