There's now more than $1 billion in #Bitcoin on Ethereum (0.5% of total supply).

$500 million in the past 30 days 📈

This is the gravity of triple digit yields.

While I personally think the biggest cross-chain opportunity is exchange rather than pegged assets, pegged assets will definitely be huge as yield farming opportunities continue to pop up.

Also interesting here is how the trend demonstrates how powerful yield farming incentives are.

There's a lot of assets that have been left out the DeFi mania because they're unproductive and sit idly in wallets.
@CreamdotFinance's recent launch on Binance Smart Chain is a great example of this.

Through Cream you can now participate in farming with assets such as XRP, DOT, BCH, LTC, and TRX.

That's tens of billions of dollars in assets that now have access to yield farming.

Over the past year Syncracy accumulated a large position in MKR.

We believe Maker could command a $40+ billion valuation this cycle given its vital role in financing Ethereum’s economy — a multi-billion dollar fee opportunity.

Our thesis on Maker in the Endgame Era.

1/ Image
Maker is the leading decentralized bank in the cryptoeconomy.

At ~2x 2025E revenue, we believe Maker is one of the best risk / reward opportunities today given its industry leading earnings, best-in-class unit economics, and growing market dominance. 

syncracy.io/writing/makerd…
Maker is a leviathan amongst the leaders, capturing nearly 40% of all DeFi profits on Ethereum.

Its competitive advantage is centered around its currency Dai —the most widely used decentralized stablecoin in the industry with its deep liquidity, integrations, and track record. Image

Memecoin mania is the closest thing we’ve seen to the 2017 ICO bubble.

Difference is no one is even pretending they’re launching or buying anything valuable — bar is as low as it’s ever been.

Memecoins are the purest expression of greed and entertainment crypto’s ever created.
Equally as interesting is how much mindshare memecoins command despite the sector still being incredibly small (and retail).

Most memecoins are micro / small caps, yet are reported on as if they’re actually indicative of what’s going on in the broader cryptoeconomy.
The most obvious winner of all this is SOL as it’s the base pair for the majority of memecoins retail is trading nowadays.

Just like how ETH was required to participate in ICOs, SOL today has the same flywheel.

In Q2 2023, Syncracy built a large position in SOL.

The opportunity Solana offers is rare – a truly differentiated technical architecture that has the potential to become foundational alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Our thesis on Solana and the future of the cryptoeconomy.

1/ Image
Blockchains have trade-offs.

Despite extreme power law dynamics in the smart contract platform market, this reality creates a large opportunity for Solana.

Solana can eat Ethereum's dominance through offering a highly differentiated integrated solution.

syncracy.io/writing/solana…
Trade-offs create path dependence.

We believe Solana’s integrated design offers a structurally simpler and more cost-efficient development environment compared to modular stacks, positioning Solana to win a larger share of the cryptoeconomy’s developer base in the coming years. Image

In 2022 a nuclear bomb hit the cryptoeconomy — where do we go from here?

A year’s worth of thoughts and reflections on the past, present, and future of crypto.

Special thanks to @SyncracyCapital team as well as @riabhutoria, @jonmoore202, and @divine_economy for review and conversations that shaped this essay.

Excited to share Pangea Fund Management is rebranding to Syncracy Capital.

@SyncracyCapital is in an incredible position after being extremely conservative in 2022.

2023 will likely be a generational environment for convicted long-term buyers and we are ready to capitalize.

What does Syncracy mean?

Syncracy is our ultimate thesis on the paradigm shift brought by blockchains — global governance by transparent, impartial, autonomous code.

It is a conjunction of “sync,” meaning working together harmoniously, and “cracy,” a suffix for governance.
The strategy is the same.

Syncracy is a thesis driven hedge fund making high conviction, concentrated investments in the secular winners of the cryptoeconomy.

We aim to support the cryptoeconomy’s leading infrastructure protocols as they ride up the S curve to global adoption.

What do you estimate the chances we never see BTC above $69K again?

i.e BTC at a $1.3 trillion market capitalization was the terminal top.
I’m suprised more people haven’t entertained the thought that BTC mooning to $1.3 trillion during the everything bubble might’ve possibly been it.
Think it’s higher than most think after every narrative for BTC (inflation hedge, uncorrelated asset, geopolitical hedge, etc) having been broken and competitors like Ethereum continuing to win mindshare and market share as technologically superior SOVs and platforms.
