Insane strength today from $EONR.

EON Resources cleared the 52 week high today, fun is just getting started.

There is currently more volatility in small cap commodity stocks than most memecoins…

$HYMC -

People have been missing one of the easiest trades of all time with Hycroft Mining, one of the largest silver mines in the United States.

Hycroft is backed by Eric Sprott. Eric is a Canadian Billionaire and one of the biggest names in precious metal investing.

Last October he predicted that $HYMC would do 200x or more based on $200 silver prices, $HYMC was $7 at the time.

Since that prediction, he has purchased nearly 20M shares on the open market. His $HYMC position is now worth $1.7B+ and he controls ~44% of the company.

He's continued buying nonstop with buys even eclipsing $50+ per share.

It seems pretty obvious he will continue to buy until he controls the majority of the company with 50%+. In order to get there he would need to purchase ~4.6M more shares, which is nearly $215M USD...

(cred. @catfoodcannon)

Now for the piece of the trade I haven't seen discussed very often... The float is disappearing in real time.

1. According to Fintel, 43.6M shares (52.62%)are currently held by insiders.

2. Another 24.6M shares (29.62%) are held by institutions.

Thats 82% of the entire company held by insiders or institutions, which are essentially locked up. If Sprott were to buy another 6% of supply from the market, 88% of the float would essentially be out of circulation.

Don't believe me? Here is a slide from the Hycroft Mining Q1 2026 Investors Presentation -

(Source - https://t.co/tPjiLGFxDN)

On top of that $HYMC has been added to multiple Silver ETFs which have seen ballooning AUMs such as $SIL / $SILJ which hold millions of shares.

As the AUM of these ETFs continue to grow so will their holdings of $HYMC, reducing the float even further.

Currently 5M+ shares are sitting in ETFs...
(ETFs - https://t.co/rYR7lt5wQB)

Randomly $AMC movie theaters also invested into $HYMC multiple years ago. The WSB crowd aped $HYMC for that reason and have been diamond handing their investments.

The other angle of this is that Eric openly promoted the trade at $5-7 per share. It created a bunch of longterm holders that are massively in the money.

Between insiders, institutions, ETFs, and longterm retail holders the actual float is extremely tiny. I'd assume 5-10% of total shares... and Sprott likely plans to buy 6% more.

Heres where it gets fun, Hycroft got massively shorted when silver dropped from highs. Mainly shorts used it as a silver beta due to it's percentage gains over the past year.

8M+ shares are currently short $HYMC as it continues to squeeze higher. Eric Sprott can continue buying at a rapid pace and completely trap these shorts by reducing the float.

Hycrofts own presentation estimates there are only 16M shares unlocked to be traded. Eric Sprott is likely to buy another 5.4M shares....

Erics extremely smart he will continue buying up the float to squeeze these shorts which balloons his investment already worth $1.7B+.

Where is the liquidity going to come from for these shorts to close their position? I have no idea, I'm sure it will be very expensive though.

$HYMC to $100+ feels inevitable, only a matter of time. 📈���📈

My favorite onchain play for RWAs and Precious Metals is @ostium.

Ostium allows users to trade perps with up to 100x leverage on individual stocks, commodities, indexies, forex, and precious metals.

Where else can you degen into a 100x long position on stocks like $NVDA, $TSLA, $COIN, $AAPL, and $HOOD in just a few clicks? Ostium feels like the future.

The DEX has ~$200M OI and lately has been hovering around ~$1B in weekly volume. Super impressive numbers once you realize 95% of their Open Interest comes from non crypto assets.

$200M+ of their Open Interest is people trading perps on precious metals, stocks like TSLA, G

RWAs are the future but bringing these assets onchain, building deep liquidity, and integrating them across networks is a massive challenge. It will take years to materialize which is the void that @ostium currently fills in the market.

Their OI/Volume has been exploding as prices of the underlying commodities on their platform have also skyrocketed.

To put their success in perspective... Last month 58% of the total Onchain Gold OI was on Ostium..

The @ostium team has been executing nonstop since their 2023 seed round led by household names like @generalcatalyst & @balajis. Their founders @kaledora & @contrarianmarco both come from backgrounds at Harvard and have an incredibly deep understanding of markets. Not your average crypto founders...

They are in a unique spot at the intersection of crypto, RWAs, precious metals, and the explosion of popularity in perps usage. Perfectly at the intersection of every sector I'm bullish on in the coming years

Their growth has been very impressive. In October alone they will likely clear ~$2M in fees putting their annualized fees around ~$22M. Based on those fees, a historical P/E of 15 would value them at $330M currently.

My strategy is to trade Gold/Silver/Copper/Palladium w/ leverage while earning an airdrop (yield) on the position. Their points program is now live so you can earn a position just by being early.

There is a very good chance based on their current fees and trajectory that Ostium is in the $1-5B+ range prior to any airdrop. While volumes hover around $1B weekly, even smaller traders using leverage can earn large shares of the point pool.

RWA markets are expected to hit $15T+ in the next 5 years, trading on Ostium earns you free exposure to multiple of the highest growth sectors in crypto. I'd highly recommend trying the product yourself.

@JeffSekinger Jeff - we haven’t seen the reversal with KAS like I was expecting since the end of summer. We continue to chop around the $0.08 level and have the potential to make it back into the ~$0.06 range. What is your outlook on KAS? What will be the catalyst for new ATH’s?

[C5 DiamondHands @c5_cryptos]

This level of commitment by @C2tP to the project gives me even more confidence in @ResupplyFi

Been in crypto long enough to understand that mistakes will happen along the way. It’s all about how you react to them.

Buy the dip 🤝

[Small Cap Scientist 👨‍🔬🧪🥼 @SmallCapScience]

A @ResupplyFi dev allocated $1.4M of personal funds to fill an exploit hole.

Huge Props to @C2tP.

Between the personal funds and treasury they have plugged $2M of a $10M hole in under 24 hours.

The reputation damage is tough but I think they will recover longterm.

MAJOR PARTNERSHIP

DKING partnered with one of the world's top sports-betting hedge funds, deploying $300M AUM using $DKING's strategies for the 2025/26 season.

This marks the first time a fully autonomous DeFAI system powers an institutional betting strategy.

@cryptocom can you share what your path to listing $KAS @KaspaCurrency is for 2025?

This is the kind of dumb shit I feel like posting today.

[C5 DiamondHands @c5_cryptos]

@Agent_Algo What have been the largest contributing factors to Mkt Cap dropping from $30M to $1.4M?

[C5 DiamondHands @c5_cryptos]

@christi61026749 Won’t mean much if adoption doesn’t increase. Need to have liquidity across other exchanges making Kaspa easier to own.

[C5 DiamondHands @c5_cryptos]

@christi61026749 I wish a Coinbase or Binance listing. So no, I don’t know

[C5 DiamondHands @c5_cryptos]

@christi61026749 Do you see a catalyst taking price there? Or basing off of charts alone?

Been a KAS holder since 23’. Was optimistic we’d see another leg up but the last 3 months we’ve seen minimal engagement and adoption.
