MARKET UPDATE: Hot Payrolls, Hotter Memecoins, And Se From FOMO Talks The Future Of Trading
Crypto is rallying on debasement, social trading, and RWA theses, while FOMO’s on-chain HOOD trade suggests attention can precede revenue recognition.FOMO’s 5–10% daily growth and $4 million creator payouts support an organic network thesis, but 94.4% of users lost money and scale remains unproven; monitor Bitcoin’s six-month-to-one-year catalyst and whether meme markets get solved.
MARKET UPDATE: What Is MemeFi, WAR With Iran, & The Fed Not Backing Down — What You Need To Know
MemeFi is rotating between stories rather than attracting a broad 2020–November 2021-style wave, while Robinhood Chain’s weekly volume rose from $500M to $1.5B.Jonah says value may accrue to FOMO, exchanges, Vlad Tenev, or underlying protocols rather than ordinary traders, leaving sub-1% sizing, multi-cycle durability, frontier-model productivity, and Iran’s Hormuz leverage as risks to monitor.
Why The $30B Asset Manager Franklin Templeton Is Betting Big On Crypto
Franklin Templeton’s acquisition of Seth Ginns’s CoinFund liquid-fund spinout expands its crypto team, advancing a 2026 convergence thesis while prices lag sell-side momentum.CLARITY’s vote could bring federal preemption if passed; failure would slow progress, leaving commercial adoption as the hedge against political pushback.
MARKET UPDATE: Bitcoin Rally, Zcash ETF, Bessent Humbled, NVDA Earnings
Bitcoin’s 25% rally toward $80K reflects a shift from AI productivity to Treasury and Fed-driven debasement, after equity vol cooled and Bessent deployed capital to defend yields.Avi sees a reasonable chance of $95K-$100K within six weeks and substantial ZCAF flows, with $15.5M in day-one volume comparable to BSOL as a percentage of market cap.The key risk is that this remains an early-innings lockout rally rather than a new bull trend, while NVDA’s crowded short positioning creates a potential one-to-two-day rebound catalyst into earnings.
What It’s Like Running A Billion-Dollar Market-Neutral Fund In Crypto
Evgeny Gokhberg argues his fund earns 11%–12% consistently by supplying the capital that DeFi platforms such as Uniswap lack, effectively performing banks’ lending and market-making roles on chain.Its edge is a probabilistic AAA-to-CCC risk framework and survival discipline, while tokenized stocks and tranching create new opportunity but AI-driven false positives, legacy OPSEC vulnerabilities, and forced selling remain risks to monitor.
The ETF Pioneer Who Calls Narratives Before Wall Street
Chanin launches thematic ETFs before narratives break: HACK went live November 14, 2014, almost exactly two weeks before the Sony breach.UFO targets space’s defense and scarcity trade, with reusable rockets and FCC constellation deadlines pulling launch demand forward.SpaceX’s post-IPO selloff may be healthy, while vertical integration, high-fee SPVs, and uncertain FCC flexibility leave competitive risks to monitor.
MARKET UPDATE: FED Backstops The Yen, Metals Rip, And Neoclouds Rebound
The yen intervention may be a Treasury backstop designed to prevent Japanese reserve sales from pushing U.S. yields higher, reinforcing a policy regime where Washington’s favored assets and lower rates shape positioning.Avi sees metals rotating as central-bank selling reverses, while Jonah prefers copper’s supply bottleneck and direct exposure; crypto remains resilient, but HOOD offers a higher-margin expression and political risk could redefine the rally.
Psychology, Value, and Data: How Santiago Santos Navigates The Markets
Avi FelmanJonah Van BourgSantiago Santos
Santiago Santos is winding down Inversion’s crypto thesis after finding Remitly and Wise “not making money” with no pricing power, while stablecoins remain a real dollar-rail use case.The pivot favors mandated, recurring cash flow such as critical-power servicing, where fragmented markets, emergency pricing and AI-enabled efficiency may support returns, while Inversion’s holdco structure protects judgment and capital discipline.
MARKET UPDATE: How Situational Awareness Blew Up, Will Rates Nuke Us, What’s Next?
Leopold Aschenbrenner’s fund was margin-called after 4x leverage created roughly $120 billion of memory exposure, showing how public weakness can turn a sound AI thesis into a path-dependent liquidation.Both hosts are buying the dip, citing 40%-50% memory undersupply over the next 12 months.Watch whether the vanished $25 billion July bid delays recovery for 2, 3, or 5 weeks.
Ex-Palantir Analyst On The Inner Workings Of Intelligence & Markets In A World Of Socialism
Avi FelmanAlexander GoodJonah Van Bourg
Alex Good’s ad-buying strategy linked acquisition economics to market attention, from long EA/short Booking to Tesla clicks driven by “Elon Musk.”His “goldfish theory” favors recurring attention over forecasting, but fragmentation and trust can break the trade; he is bearish Palantir at 100x sales.He expects AI layoffs within 3 months, while politics and 6% annualized productivity could reshape the opportunity set.
