$ENA is by far the best (and easiest) DAT hype to long. Let me explain simply:
1) Biggest Fund Raised Impact DAT in Crypto:
$ENA DAT (@stablecoin_x) has raised over $895m to buy ENA.
- That is ≈16% of circ. market cap. That’s the same as raising $350bn for BTC and $83bn for ETH.
2) ENA Has a Put to Protect Price:
The buy schedule for the $ENA DAT is:
- $5m per day if $ENA >$0.70
- $10m per day if $ENA <$0.70, or $ENA is down >5% in a 24h period.
See you at $1.5
Excited to see a successful follow on raise for StablecoinX of ~$530m which represents roughly 14% of the circulating market cap of $ENA.
To put this into perspective, this raise is the equivalent of:
i) Saylor raising ~$300b to buy BTC
ii) Tom Lee raising ~$75b to buy ETH
iii)~2x the circulating supply purchased with cash in the last raise
The Ethena Foundation retains a veto right on any ENA sales by StablecoinX.
We launched tokenised equities in South African and even that had low volume uptick. This is a country who struggle with access to U.S equities and uptick should be good. I think the real reason is it’s harder than you think to get traditional equity investors and equity traders to move to crypto platforms to trade equities (they see that as added platform risk) and would rather trade crypto on an equity platform that equites on a crypto platform.
🚨 NEW: DefiLlama to delist Aster perpetual volume data over integrity concerns, citing Aster's trading volumes almost perfectly correlated with Binance.
Potential Buy: $PUMP
Don’t like the coin due to the cult like cash grab streamers but if regardless real fees and subsequent token buybacks are still holding up during this slump - good sign of use.
Chart:
- consistent bull div’s showing slowing downside momentum
- second MA indicator showing significant change from downward momentum
-first MA indicator still awaiting significant change from downward momentum then it’s go time.
Sold 60% of my $Aster today and rotated into $BTC and more $XPL after listening to CZ on Spaces
Might end up being a mistake, but I’m in solid profit and wanted to derisk. Went in with size, and my gut told me it was time to trim
Not ruling out re-entering lower. A Binance listing still feels likely, and if CZ continues to talk about it, momentum could return.
But for now, I’m comfortable with the move
Main reasons I sold:
First, CZ’s tone during today’s space. He seemed to distance himself from Aster. Some say it’s optics or 4D chess maybe. But I trust my gut over a bias crowd narrative
Second, the trading experience on Aster just isn’t there
If you’ve used HYPE, then switched to Aster, you know exactly what I mean. It feels slower, less polished and just copy paste
The PNL isn’t accurate, in fact it’s WAY off on 24hr and all time. Volume numbers aren’t showing up either
The more capital I have on it the riskier it feels and I can’t withdraw BTC to the native BTC network, something HYPE already supports
It feels early stage and rushed and just needs serious product work
Most of the Aster community never touched HYPE. If you did, you’d instantly feel the difference
It’s not just aesthetics, it’s performance, trust, and experience. All of it matters
Bull case for Aster is still alive. It has a massive, cult like community and possibly deeper ties to CZ
That’s why I still hold a portion. I’m not out entirely
But if CZ stops talking about it, HYPE wins hands down
XPL outperforms in Q4 with less risk involved IMO
At the end of the day, this is just my read.
Could be wrong, but I size into conviction, and I trim when things feel off, and today something felt off
And now the price is down quite a bit from where I sold, and it only feels like confirmation
Anyone else’s timeline filled with useless KOL’s with zero knowledge full bull posting $ASTER and $APEX? Like they’ve just discovered fire. Mate $DYDX was doing this for years $HYPE more recently and they actually execute in blockchains. You raving over a CEX with smart contact for deposits and withdrawals - incredible find - keep up the life changing research
@X7H___ $aster still needs to prove itself with a L1 that works - $APEX seems to be just a hype flow for now with no airdrop program to drive trading volumes
