If you're holding HYPE, why leave it idle? hyperliquid:native is one of the assets I consider a blue chip in my portfolio, and I plan to keep holding it. So instead of leaving it sitting in my wallet, these are the 3 ways I'm currently putting it to work: 1. @hyperlendx - Supply HYPE > Yield: -~24% APR - Full HYPE exposure - No LP/range management > Risk: - Smart contract / exploit - HyperEVM risk - Lending, liquidity & utilization risk - APR is variable > How long can it last? Probably the most temporary yield of the three. ~24% for simply supplying HYPE is extremely attractive, which also means more deposits can quickly compress the APR. For now, this is my favorite place for idle HYPE, but I'm not assuming 24% will still be there months from now. 2. @RamsesExchange - HYPE/kHYPE > Yield: - Concentrated liquidity - Potentially much higher APR - Wider range = lower APR, less management > Risk: - Smart contract / exploit - Concentrated liquidity / range risk - kHYPE/Kinetiq exposure - kHYPE is currently depegged - Pool liquidity is only ~$200K > How long can it last? I wouldn't expect the crazy APRs currently displayed to last long either. With only ~$200K in the pool, additional liquidity can compress yields very quickly. And because kHYPE is currently depegged, I'm not interested in ultra-tight ranges just to screenshot a 1,000%+ APR. I'd rather sacrifice APR, use a wider range and have a position that can survive longer without constant management. 3. @prjx_hl - HYPE/WBTC & HYPE/WETH > Yield: - HYPE/WBTC: ~16.6% APR - HYPE/WETH: ~16.5% APR - Both have stayed in range for 3+ months > My current ranges HYPE/WBTC: ~35% downside / ~8% upside HYPE/WETH: ~20% downside / ~41% upside These are intentionally wide ranges. I'm sacrificing capital efficiency and a potentially higher APR in exchange for something I value more: staying in range longer and managing the positions less. > Risk: - Smart contract / exploit - Concentrated liquidity - Impermanent loss - HYPE vs BTC/ETH relative-price risk - Requires range management > How long can it last? This is the one I see as the most sustainable strategy of the three. Not because ~16–17% is guaranteed, but because I'm not relying on an unusually high lending rate or a tiny pool showing an extreme APR. I've already kept both positions in range for 3+ months. And I'm comfortable holding HYPE, BTC and ETH anyway. > So the way I see them: HyperLend → simplest, great APR, probably temporary Ramses → highest potential yield, but more moving parts and likely temporary Project X → lower APR, more management, but better suited to a longer-term strategy I'm not trying to find the biggest APR I'm trying to make assets I'd hold anyway productive, while understanding exactly what extra risk I'm taking to earn that yield.

I think @arc has been pretty disappointing so far. Maybe the biggest problem was that everyone expected Robinhood Chain 2.0. But the setups were completely different: → Robinhood: almost zero expectations. → Arc: everyone arrived looking for the next big thing. Robinhood caught CT by surprise. Memes appeared, projects started launching, liquidity came in and some tokens reached crazy valuations. Even Vlad joined the party and actively pushed the ecosystem. Arc was the opposite: - Launchpads ready from day one - Memes everywhere - NFT collections fighting for attention - Everyone hunting the “next Robinhood play” before it even existed Too much expectation, not enough organic demand. And there’s another big difference: Robinhood had its CEO actively talking about the chain and its ecosystem. With Arc, I’m not seeing that same push from the team. Their communication has been much more focused on the institutional side of the network. Maybe Arc will be a huge success for what Circle actually wants to build. But as the “Robinhood Chain 2.0” that CT was expecting? So far, I’m not seeing it.

Crypto Twitter has one big problem: information expires FAST. You see a useful project, tool or protocol today… 2 days later your timeline has moved on and finding that information again can be a nightmare. That's why I like having a few platforms outside X where I can actually research and rediscover things. One of them is @CoinLaunchSpace 👇 1/ CoinLaunch is basically a big crypto database + research platform. Instead of focusing on just one niche, you can explore: → Projects → Upcoming ICOs / IEOs / IDOs → Launchpads → Investors → Crypto events & airdrops → Market trends → Influencers / KOLs They basically try to organize a lot of the information that gets lost in the daily noise of CT. 2/ But what I personally check quite often is their research section. Some recent examples: → Best Robinhood Chain Memecoins in 2026 → Best Memecoin Trading Bots for Sniping & Automation → Crypto Market Trends & Outlook Sometimes I already know the topic. Sometimes I find something completely new. Either way, it gives me another starting point for my own research. 3/ I also like the project discovery side. You can browse upcoming token sales and find ICOs, IEOs & IDOs rated and reviewed, instead of relying only on whatever happens to appear on your timeline. Same with launchpads, fundraising, events, airdrops and other opportunities. That's probably the biggest value for me: Discovery → organized information → then DYOR. CT is still where I discover most things. But having somewhere that actually organizes the information instead of letting it disappear down the timeline is pretty useful.

If you're farming @Lighter_xyz × Robinhood, save this. This is how I will get the 2.5x farming boost This Friday, Lighter distributed 80,000 points to Robinhood users. I'll analyze the increasing weekly distribution and its impact on dilution in another post. But today, the important part is this: “There’s 2.5x more reasons to hedge your Lighter on Robinhood Chain longs on Lighter Core this week.” My interpretation: LONG → Robinhood Lighter SHORT → Lighter Core Until now, I've been hedging some of my Robinhood positions on other perp DEXs. This week I'm moving part of that hedge to Lighter Core. My guess is they want to incentivize activity across BOTH venues as Robinhood grows. Not confirmed. Just my interpretation. So, how am I farming it? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ OPTION 1 - LOW VOLATILITY Best for: larger OI + longer holding periods Markets: SPX / QQQ Robinhood → LONG SPX / QQQ Lighter Core → SHORT SPX / QQQ Why? → Lower volatility than crypto → Easier to maintain larger OI → Designed for longer exposure → Particularly interesting on weekends when underlying TradFi markets are closed* ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ OPTION 2 - MORE ACTIVE Best for: more rotations + more activity Markets: GOLD / SILVER Example: Robinhood → LONG Gold or Silver Lighter Core → SHORT Gold or Silver Why? → Exposure remains relatively neutral → More markets traded → Easier to increase/reduce positions and rebalance ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT ABOUT FUNDING? Right now, funding looks relatively similar between both venues. So I'm NOT doing this for funding arbitrage. My goal is: → Maintain OI → Generate real trading activity → Reduce directional risk → Keep the hedge inside Lighter → Potentially benefit from the 2.5x incentive ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ IMPORTANT Lighter explicitly said: “Artificial trading activities will not earn points.” This isn't about wash trading or generating meaningless volume. It's about finding the most efficient way to maintain genuine hedged exposure while farming. I'll test this setup throughout the week. Next Friday I'll share the results and see if moving my hedge to Lighter Core actually improved my points efficiency. Save this one if you're farming the campaign. *The perp can still move while underlying markets are closed. Delta-neutral ≠ risk-free.

Mint on Robinhood Today! The @CoinLaunchSpace team is giving away an FCFS spot for @Cultxyzz CULT is a pixel-art PFP collection of 6,666 NFTs launching on Robinhood Chain. The FCFS phase starts today at 2:15 PM UTC, and the mint price is just 0.0003 ETH. At that price, I think it’s worth a shot. I’ll be trying to mint one in less than an hour! Good luck

Great overview of @TxFlow_L1 . For me, TxFlow is one of those protocols that could genuinely surprise people. And there are a few reasons why I'm farming it this early: → We're still in what I consider a hidden points campaign: activity is being generated before any public points system exists. → September is getting closer, and the co-founder has already teased “big updates” for the month. There are rumors around points, although nothing has been officially confirmed yet. → No VC allocation. If TxFlow eventually launches a token, that's one less group competing with the community for allocation. → The team has repeatedly shown that they listen and adapt to community feedback. → There are also indications of links to the BloFin team, which would help explain the resources behind the project, although this remains unconfirmed. → And despite being extremely early, the DEX already offers 160+ markets with surprisingly solid liquidity. That's the kind of setup I like: Early product + real usage + incentives + no visible points yet. Maybe nothing happens. But if TxFlow delivers, I'd rather have my trading history built before everyone starts farming it. 🌱
