1/ The Cosmos DeFi landscape could be on the brink of a paradigm shift.

With the launch of native $USDC, the potential for a tidal wave of liquidity is undeniable.

What does this mean for #Cosmos? Let's dive in. 🧵👇
2/ Since the successful launch of IBC in April 2021, we've seen an explosion of growth within the ecosystem.

- IBC now enables connectivity with over 50 different blockchains.

Each sovereign, but not without its own set of problems compared to their monolithic counterparts.
3/ The growth in Cosmos has not come without own set of growing pains, such as:

- Complex UX
- Liquidity Fragmentation
- Bridge Risks
- Multiple Algorithmic Stablecoins

Each of these, symptomatic of a lack of native liquidity.
4/ As such, Cosmos has often seen deep liquidity fragmentation.

- With the launch of various DEX's ( @CrescentHub and @osmosiszone) competing for a piece of the liquidity pie.

This has introduced increased complexity for users as liquidity has been increasingly bridged.
5/ The rise and collapse of @terra_money $UST gave Cosmos a glimpse of how native liquidity could impact the growth of an ecosystem.

During its peak, reaching close to $19B, this is 90% larger than all of Cosmos today!
6/ The launch of @axelarcore provided the Cosmos with a much-needed injection of liquidity.

- Enabling almost $1.9 billion in cumulative volume into and out of the Cosmos ecosystem.

Most of which has come in the form of bridged $USDC and $DAI.
7/ However, this has not come without it's own set of risks and UX issues.

- As such, we now have $USDC in Cosmos coming from a variety of chains such as @avalancheavax and @0xPolygon

Most of which has been enabled by Axelar.
8/ A common factor among the largest ecosystems is that they have both bridging solutions and native stablecoin liquidity.

- With USDC and Tether reigning as champions, enabling the free flow of DeFi activity.

Cosmos needs native stablecoin liquidity to fully flourish.
9/ And so the journey into Cosmos DeFi is kicking into overdrive with the launch of @noble_xyz

The launch of native $USDC will combine the power of one of the strongest stablecoin with the scalability already offered by IBC.
10/ @noble_xyz Native $USDC is a massive win for Cosmos DeFi as it solves:

❌ Complicated UX (One Canonical Denomination)
❌ Liquidity Concentration
❌ Fungibility of tokens

It also unlocks the fungibility of a $32.9 billion asset.
11/ To make this transition go smoothly, @osmosiszone has been building a stablecoin transmuter!

- This module will allow a 1 for 1 swap and conversion of assets, without facing slippage.

Users will be able to seamlessly swap from axlUSDC to noble's $USDC 🔥
12/ Cosmos has never stopped building, and @noble_xyz launch is a testament to this.

The introduction of native $USDC issuance compounds on the Cosmos thesis with the flurry of projects launching on Cosmos, surely in need of deep liquidity.

- @SeiNetwork
- @dYdX
- @penumbrazone
13/ Cosmos has never had a fully backed fiat stable coin.

We've gone through experimentation followed by trials.

This very well could be a game changer for the one of the largest ecosystems outside of Ethereum!

Token2049 Singapore was buzzing this year.

Signaling the direction the industry is moving towards over the coming months and years.

Five themes took up the bulk of the mindshare.

You need to be paying attention to these trends 🧵⬇️ Image
Token2049 is over; with hundreds of side events plus the main event happening simultaneously, filtering what matters can be daunting.

I attended many events this year, and 5 themes continued to make their appearance throughout.

Here's a brief summary of what you need to know for the remainder of the bull cycle and beyond,
Restaking: Holders simply want yield.

The Restaking 2049 event at Token shed some light on where the Restaking narrative is headed.

Interestingly, this is growing beyond EigenLayer's dominance and quickly evolving into a $ BTC-driven narrative.

Recent developments in this space include:

1. @Bedrock_DeFi, with the launch of their uniBTC campaign, they now have over $170M in TVL.

2. @ether_fi is leveraging eBTC, which has now climbed to $98M TVL and can be staked to earn points across seven different ecosystems.

3. @pendle_fi: Serving as the hub for Restaked $BTC via Lombard, Etherfi and Bedrock.Image

Data is great, but most don't know how to use it to profit.

@tokenterminal Discover Page just launched.

Making data-driven analysis easy and profitable.

Here are 5 key insights I discovered using this new feature and how you can use it to profit while the market is down.

🧵⬇️ Image
Token Terminal is a crypto data analytics platform focused on analytics using fundamental metrics.

This allows you to value protocols and applications using metrics such as:

➜ TVL
➜ Daily Active Users
➜ Price to Sales
➜ Price to Fees
➜ Volume
➜ Revenue per user Image
Discovery takes this to a new level by allowing me to cross-compare across protocols, metrics, and tokens.

Here's what I've discovered and my thought process for creating an investment framework with this tool.

The $JUP airdrop minted millionaires this cycle.

There is a new airdrop focused on the highly sought after GPUs and AI sector on Solana.

They just raised over $30M to build the largest AI computing cloud.

Let's dig into this gem. 🧵⬇️ Image
We've all seen $NVDA +223% meteoric rise this past year, due to the continued demand for GPUs.

This rise has been attributed to continued advancement in AI platforms like SORA, and ChatGPT.

Demand will continue to rise and with that the need for computing networks. Image
1️⃣ Meet @ionet_official

ionet is a decentralized computing network that allows engineers to access distributed Cloud clusters efficiently.

By aggregating GPUs sources from underutilized sources it is able to achieve much lower costs than centralized players via smart offerings. Image

Altcoin season is almost upon us, and it will mint millionaires.

The move will be swift and leave many sidelined.

I've created a list of mid to low caps with upcoming catalysts to position yourself for the next 10x to 100x. 🧵👇 Image
With $BTC pushing toward its previous market cycle high of $69,000, most Altcoins have remained largely unchanged.

I've previously shared the "Path to Alt Season" chart, which helps us understand the current market dynamics and prepare for the eventual rotation.
The market is likely to stay volatile in the foreseeable future, presenting more opportunities along the way.

Key to this strategy is establishing clear goals, practicing patience, allowing your thesis to unfold, and mastering the art of consistent DCA in and out.

$OSMO is this cycle's beta asset to capitalize on Celestia's and Cosmo's growth

A guide. 🧵⬇️ Image
Osmosis is the most interconnected chain in the Cosmos.

It ranks among the highest in terms of both IBC volume, users, and TVL.

$OSMO, by default, ranks among the strongest barometers of the Cosmos.

Here's how to maximize the use of this asset. 👇
1️⃣ Staking

Staking $OSMO is an incredibly simple way to make the most of this asset.

You can earn both from staking rewards and taker fees generated from trading volume, all while increasing your chances of earning airdrops. (More details on this below). Image
