quick intro since the account is growing:
i’m just a guy trying to farm yield without getting rekt.
no insider alpha, no 100% win rates. just sharing what i do on-chain and trying not to get rugged.
sometimes we print, sometimes we learn. let's cook.
@sharifzadesina @ryskfinance hey, repo is here - https://t.co/rjRVOmMBVA
it's available now at https://t.co/G98WftHtgp
has drifted a fair bit from what you saw, but it's all there
built a custom wheel strategy tracker for @RyskFinance and learned more about options in the process than i expected.
the idea: sell puts on crypto assets you'd happily own anyway, collect premium, and if assigned sell covered calls to keep lowering your cost basis over time.
what makes this interesting on rysk: european-style options, premium paid upfront, positions locked until expiry. no rolling, no early exit.
here's what the tracker does:
- log puts, calls, and spot entries across $BTC, $ETH, $HYPE, $SOL
- tracks net cost per token. drops every time you collect a premium
- handles multiple lots per asset separately
- running p&l chart and per-asset cost basis chart updated automatically
- edit any entry, full import/export, 8 themes
- single html file. everything stored in your browser
still iterating.
S&P Dow Jones Indices and trade[XYZ] have joined forces to launch the first official S&P 500 perpetual contract, available exclusively on Hyperliquid.
For 69 years, the S&P 500 has been a defining reference point for global finance. Until now, access to that benchmark has been shaped by market hours, intermediaries, and geography. Today, that changes.
The S&P 500 perp is now available 24/7/365, anchored by the official index data required for deep liquidity and institutional confidence at scale.
SPDJI helped define modern indexing. They are stewards of an iconic benchmark, the standard against which portfolios across the globe are measured. We are honored to bring that legacy on-chain.
Trade[XYZ] is bringing the world's most iconic assets towards a future of global, continuous markets — a future powered by Hyperliquid.
THEY DID IT.
The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets.
They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name!
THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO
(he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence)
This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path.
It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator.
(of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it)
This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets:
1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14)
2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception).
3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities.
4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends.
5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities.
Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator.
No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges.
How about the Howey test?
More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after).
How about stuff like staking and mining?
Mining? Not a securities transaction.
Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs!
How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction.
Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops.
Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both.
SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets
CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets
Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets.
Every country will follow.
This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets.
Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins.
And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.
After chatting with many teams about their development and the current state of their projects, the next @HyperliquidX House of all Finance paper is finally here.
