Good question. I enjoy answering questions that focus on sharing knowledge and experience because they can help a lot of people.

Answer:

Market makers can only manipulate price within certain limits they can’t do whatever they want. Do you know why $Rave went up to $28 and then crashed? Let’s flip the question around: if market makers pushed $Rave even higher, would they make more profit, or would they make more profit by dumping it immediately?

I shorted $Rave at $26, which may have been lucky, but I also shorted $Siren at $0.9 and took profit at $0.1.

In short, with newly launched coins like $Lab or $Rave, where up to 99% of the supply is controlled by the team, the key factor is timing. The best opportunity is when they start selling aggressively.

people always see me shorting, so they think i prefer short positions. but the truth is, i actually prefer going long. the key difference is that longs can generate much larger profits than shorts, but they also come with higher risk.

having worked as a market maker for multiple projects, let me explain it in a simple way. if i enter a position with a large volume at a certain level, the market maker will notice it. the first thing they will do is try to take me out before letting the price move higher, or they will wait for me to close the position out of impatience.

so if you’ve ever gone long and got liquidated or stopped out right before the price moved up, that wasn’t necessarily a coincidence. in many cases, it was done intentionally.

[🧔BeardedFather @Binance707]

Let’s look at the raw math for $BASED, because the real supply shock is staring everyone in the face. 🧠👇
​Out of the 1B total supply, only ~235M is currently in circulation. Subtract the 100M tokens locked in staking, and we are left with 135M. Now, once you account for the whales and long-term holders, the actual free float trading on the open market is a tiny 50M–60M tokens.
​Let that sink in. For a project with this backing, having only 5% of the total supply available for the public to trade means the order books are practically empty.
​When the buying pressure intensifies, there simply won't be enough tokens to go around. This is exactly why it’s going to fly way harder and faster than $LAB. The liquidity is a coiled spring. 📈🔥 #BASED

[Trader 80/20🛡️ @Trader_8020]

🥸 $BASED is one of those tokens where the business is good and the token quietly isn't. Worth understanding why, because the gap is fixable.

Start with the strengths, because they're real. Based is the number one app by volume on Hyperliquid $HYPE and number two by revenue, with roughly 40 billion in cumulative volume and actual users, not just farmers. The founders are doxxed with real track records (Zilliqa, Lazada). The cap table is about as strong as it gets this cycle: Pantera led the round, with Coinbase Ventures, Wintermute, Ethena, Hashed and Spartan alongside. This is not a vapor project. The product ships and it makes money.

Now the uncomfortable part.

The token is pure utility. You hold or stake BASED for fee discounts, up to 8% cashback on the card, higher limits, launchpool and airdrop access. That's nice, but here is the core flaw of a utility only design: people buy exactly what they need and not one token more, and they can sell the second they stop needing it. Utility creates transactional demand, not structural demand. It does not put a floor under the price.

And here is the irony nobody at Based wants printed. Every trade routed through the app feeds Hyperliquid's buyback machine, which sends around 97 percent of fees into buying HYPE. Based generates all this volume, and the value accrual flows to HYPE, not to BASED. Based earns its own builder fee on top, about 15 million a year, but right now that revenue does not buy back the token, does not get distributed to holders, does not burn anything. No buyback, no burn, no revenue share. The flywheel they describe is a customer acquisition flywheel, not a token value flywheel.

So what would it really take to get to a dollar?

A dollar means roughly a 1 billion valuation. From here that is about a 13x, and you have to do it while absorbing the investor and team unlocks that start landing in March 2027, north of 40 percent of supply. You do not get there on vibes and cashback. You get there by turning real revenue into permanent buy pressure. Concretely:

➤ 1) Route a fixed share of builder revenue into buybacks. Even 30 to 50 percent of 15 million a year is enormous against a 16 million market cap. Do it transparently and on chain, the way Lighter $LIT already does, the way the parent chain itself already does.

➤ 2) Or pay real yield. Distribute a slice of revenue to stakers in USDC or USDe. Turn staking from stake for perks into stake to earn. That is the difference between a coupon and a dividend.

➤ 3) Make holding non optional. Tie card tiers, launchpool allocation and fee rebates to locked BASED, so the best users are also the longest holders and float velocity drops.

➤ 4) Time it to the unlock cliff. A volume scaled buyback is the natural counterweight to insider supply. If buybacks grow with volume while supply is fixed, the math finally points up instead of down.

As it stands, BASED is a great business attached to a mediocre token. The company can keep winning while the token goes nowhere, because the value leaks to HYPE and to users instead of to holders.

Flip on one value accrual switch and the whole thesis changes. The volume is already there. The revenue is already there. The users are already there. The only thing missing is a reason for the token to capture any of it.

DYOR.

[Doodles @DG_doodles]

Had some time tonight so i threw $BASED into the @Hertzflow_xyz SurfAI Alpha Skill just to see what it would surface.

Insider Realization:

• $1.41M of insider selling already confirmed on-chain.
• Operator wallets ran 187% of total supply through them
• Their balance now sits near zero - already cleared out

Volume Quality:

• $27.62M 24h volume looks healthy, but it's inflated
• A single wash bot accounts for ~12.8% of it
• 1.26M+ on-chain matches across ~200 addresses volume isn't real absorption

What stands out:

• Real executable depth is only $5.4K per buy under 5% slippage
• A 25-wallet operator cluster, fully unlabeled, off Arkham's radar
• 100+ large anomalous transfers in the last 72h.

What i respect is that it doesn't make you swim through raw data.

It pointed straight at a 25-wallet cluster cut from the same cloth, shared funding, shared mint, shared gas and the whole cluster sits invisible.

Getting eyes on the wallet level before you commit capital beats blindly riding the hype every single time.

[Trader 80/20🛡️ @Trader_8020]

🧐 Who and What wants $BASED to win?

Who actually wants BASED, the consumer app built on Hyperliquid $HYPE, to succeed? This is not a conspiracy map. It is an incentive map.

One thing ties everyone on this map together: flow.

Every trade routed through BASED pays a small builder fee into Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid then uses almost all of its fees to buy back HYPE, and validators treat those buybacks as burns. So more BASED users means more trading volume, more fees, more HYPE buybacks, and a stronger token for everyone holding or staking it.

There is also the $USDC layer. Hyperliquid runs mostly on USDC, which makes every new BASED user valuable not only to HYPE holders, but also to Circle and Coinbase. More collateral, more settlement, more reserve yield.

And this is not some future fantasy. BASED already drives a real share of Hyperliquid’s daily volume. The only question is how big the loop gets if BASED becomes the main consumer app for the ecosystem.

➥ 1. Pantera Capital. Pantera led BASED's $11.5M round and took a board seat. If BASED becomes the front door to Hyperliquid, Pantera owns a piece of that door. It also holds separate Hyperliquid exposure, so it can win on both sides.

➥ 2. Coinbase Ventures. Coinbase's venture arm holds equity in BASED. If BASED becomes the default front-end, that stake is worth more. This sits apart from Coinbase's USDC angle below, so the company has two separate reasons to care.

➥ 3. Coinbase. This is the bigger one. Coinbase earns a large share of the yield on USDC reserves. Hyperliquid runs on USDC, BASED brings more trading, more USDC sits there as collateral, and Coinbase collects more on that pile.

➥ 4. Circle. Maybe the biggest quiet winner. Hyperliquid uses USDC as its main collateral and settlement asset, and that supply has grown to around $5 billion. Circle earns interest on those reserves, so more BASED trading puts more USDC to work for Circle.

➥ 5. Circle as a HYPE holder. Circle did not stop at USDC. It bought HYPE, committed to stake 500,000 of them, and is moving toward running a validator. So Circle now gains from USDC demand and from HYPE going up.

➥ 6. Wintermute. Wintermute wins in three ways. Its venture arm backed BASED, it is an approved trading partner for the new HYPE ETFs, and it makes markets on the volume BASED sends to Hyperliquid.

➥ 7. Karatage. Karatage took part in the Series A. As an early equity backer, its return depends almost entirely on BASED getting bigger, so the app winning is its only real lever.

➥ 8. Ethena and the Suberra era backers. BASED grew out of an older project called Suberra, and names like Ethena, Hashed, and Spartan are tied to that history or to current deals. BASED even runs a perps venue called HyENA built with Ethena. If the old infrastructure bet turns into a real trading app, those backers finally see it pay off.

➥ 9. Hyperliquid. The obvious one. BASED does not compete with Hyperliquid's engine, it feeds it users across mobile, web, desktop, prediction markets, and card spending. More BASED users, more Hyperliquid activity.

➥ 10. The Assistance Fund. This is the part most people skip. The fund takes almost all of Hyperliquid's fees and uses them to buy HYPE off the market. More BASED volume means more fees, which means a bigger and steadier bid under the token.

➥ 11. HYPE holders. Everything above lands here. More traders, more volume, more USDC collateral, and a better story all push the same direction. Holders want anything that makes Hyperliquid look like a real financial app instead of a pro-only terminal.

➥ 12. Validators and stakers. More activity strengthens the network and the staking yield. If BASED widens the user base, the people securing the chain have a clear reason to care.

➥ 13. Bitwise. Bitwise launched a US spot HYPE ETF and even stakes the HYPE it holds. A stronger BASED story means a stronger HYPE story, which grows the fund and the fees it earns.

➥ 14. Grayscale. Grayscale runs a HYPE staking ETF and came in cheaper than the rest on fees. Same logic: long HYPE, earns more as the price and the assets climb.

➥ 15. 21Shares. 21Shares runs its own HYPE ETF, in the same race as Bitwise and Grayscale. It earns fees on the HYPE it holds for investors, so it gains from anything that lifts HYPE demand and price. A stronger BASED brings exactly that kind of demand.

➥ 16. HYPE treasury companies. Public companies now hold HYPE on their balance sheets to give stock buyers exposure. Names like Hyperliquid Strategies, Hyperion DeFi, and Lion Group sit on hundreds of millions of dollars in HYPE. A stronger BASED narrative lifts both their treasuries and their share price.

➥ 17. a16z linked whales. On-chain trackers have tied very large HYPE buying to wallets they believe belong to a16z. The firm has not confirmed this, so read it as wallet tracing, not a statement. If the read is right, those wallets want every new BASED user they can get.

➥ 18. Galaxy Digital. Galaxy runs a Hyperliquid validator, has staked HYPE, and has traded it through large wallets. As a validator, holder, and trader, it gains from a stronger HYPE and more flow. Its positioning has moved both ways, so this is alignment, not a permanent bet.

➥ 19. Arthur Hayes and the loud bulls. Hayes has been one of the loudest voices saying Hyperliquid is a real financial system, not just an exchange, which helps the whole BASED pitch. Worth a small note: he sold his HYPE position in mid 2026 while keeping the long-term thesis. The argument still works for BASED, the position does not always match the talk.

➥ 20. Polymarket. BASED puts prediction markets in the same app as perps and spot, and the partner is Polymarket. That gives Polymarket more reach and makes event betting feel like normal trading.

➥ 21. USDH and Native Markets. Hyperliquid now has its own stablecoin, USDH, run by Native Markets, with the reserve yield split between HYPE buybacks and the ecosystem. More settlement on Hyperliquid feeds that loop too. It is also the one thing that could slowly pull yield away from Circle.

➥ 22. HyperEVM apps like Felix. Lending and stablecoin apps on Hyperliquid's own chain, like Felix, grow on deposits and active users. BASED is a funnel that brings both. More people flowing through BASED means more collateral and fees landing in these apps.

➥ 23. Affiliates and creators. One of the most underrated groups. The affiliate model pays a real share of fees across referral tiers, so a creator who brings in traders builds recurring income, not a one-time shill.

➥ 24. Card users. If BASED wins, trading profits get easier to spend in the real world. Most apps stop at your PnL. BASED is trying to tie trading, prediction markets, and a spending card into one loop.

Put it together and the picture is simple. BASED is not just a screen people tap. It is a distribution layer. Hyperliquid gets users. USDC gets settlement demand. Circle and Coinbase earn on the float. HYPE holders, ETFs, and treasury companies get a stronger story to sell. Affiliates get a fee stream. Polymarket gets reach. And BASED sits in the middle and takes a small cut of all of it. That is why so many large players quietly want this one to win.

$XPIN FRESH WALLETS ACCUMULATION DETECTED

Multiple fresh wallets have recently withdrawn $XPIN from Gate.

Tracked so far: 10 wallets accumulated a total of 2.26B $XPIN, worth around $2.95M, near the current price zone around $0.00125.

At the same time, there are also multiple token movements from wallets that previously received vesting tokens from the project.

This combination makes the flow worth tracking.

$XPIN may be entering a setup phase.

$741.75K across 7 wallets isn't a whale move. It's something earlier than that

[Tradinator @Tradinator33]

Any token where team holds 80-95%+ of supply is automatically a huge red flag.

It basically means they can engineer the chart however they want.

We’ve already seen enough examples:

$LABS
$RAVE

Current ones like: $UAI $RIVER $ZKP $XNY $BASED $GENIUS all have teams holding an absurd amount of supply

And can easily send some to the crime lord Binance as "listing fees", before dumping on retail.

Stay safe out there friends.

$BEAT INSIDER POSITION DID AN 8X AFTER RE-ACCUMULATION

$BEAT is now up around 8x in 20 days from the re-accumulation signal on May 21

The tracked insider position went from $886K to $6.81M

This is a rare case where the chart looked almost dead after a brutal drawdown, but still managed to return to ATH again

Looks like we’re starting to find the common pattern behind these hidden gems

The hard part is not only finding them early, but having enough patience and risk management to survive the drawdowns
