I believe this Defi protocol is undervalued and capturing market share at a record pace
- Recent (re)launch
- Base native (one of the few good "utility" tokens on base)
- Was a pioner in this category (before Pendle)
- Huge growth
🧵
Spectra allows anyone permissionlessly create their own interest rate derivatives markets
Afaik they were the pioneers in this category (basically invented PT/YT tokens before Pendle was a thing), but never took off, still the team kept building through the whole bearmarket
Recently they had a very sucessful relaunch under another name (and token), it seems to have finally gotten attention
It's one of the top5 biggest growing Defi protocols by TVL (above 100M TVL), together w/ Resolv (which also spurred a big portion of this TVL growth)
Highest APY Stable pools on Pendle are all Usual's USD0 pools by 2x
Ethena is now fueling their new USDtb into Usual
$USUAL has 2X more TVL than ONDO
Usual stablecoin is the fastest growing of the Top10
USUAL is 6x Less mcap than $ONDO, 7x Less mcap than $ENA
Do the math
I should be accumulating more instead of giving u layups like this but since I already missed the launch entry, I'm just top blasting to add to my airdrop/premarket buys, i dont care anymore
1/ First, keep in mind as I was starting to accumulate and develop this thesis, the token literally did a 2-3X and hasn't shown any signs of stopping, it's somewhat illiquid so beware of price impact.
I decided to still publish this because I've put some work into it and I still believe it's undervalued, but beware as it has gone up a lot recently.
2/ @PharaohExchange is to Avalanche what Aero is to Base, the leading ve(3,3) exchange on Avalanche.
I think this is currently the most logical bet in the Avalanche defi/utility ecosystem and the most undervalued for the reasons I'll explain below
Wonder why Solana daily active addresses are skyrocketing past month?
Seems like new washtrading/volume bots are getting smarter, instead of doing 300K txs on like 5 wallets, they are now rotating wallets, even after just 1 tx sometimes
Solana Total Fees and Jito tips are down 50%+ since Justin Sun copied pumpfun on Tron
Seems like many degens grew tired of the sol casino and moved on to the tron casino
I'd say Solana shitcoin casino moat is now much smaller, as most of the infra (bots/snipers) are already multichain/offer chain abstraction so entry level to gambling on another chain is much lower than before
ie:
Keep in mind like 80%+ of the fees generated on Solana are priority fees/MEV tips
If most of the gamblers move, these will gravitate to $0
They're also highly skewed by bots, I'd say tx/prio fees from bots probably have a 100x disparity than from normal users
Avg fee for photon/bullx/bonkbot is like $1-2+, Avg user fee is much lower
