More insane opportunities for yield-enjoyers via @protocol_fx! (see below!) Recently did a big article + #FrenchChart# on their fxSAVE-Morpho-Looping opportunity (will link in next tweet)... But the Pendle market + incentives stuff below may be just as cool :) And again, all of the opportunities are built upon the underlying fxSAVE architecture and the organic 6-9% yield it is generating (some of the best actual PMF-driven organic stablecoin yield in crypto, I would add). But yeah... This is just one W among many vis a vis @protocol_fx to touch on... As they've been killing it across the board as of late: - Massive TVL growth - Massive $fxUSD supply growth - Mega-high $fxUSD volumes on Curve - Tons of new partnerships - @FX100Perp's ongoing testnet success - And tons of other stuff too numerous to mention here! So yeah, will link to more in subsequent tweets but if you are a Pendle-lover or yield-enjoyoor make sure to check out the below! :)

@2lambro @DefiLlama @thedailydegenhq @Meta_Mark_ @TheDeFinvestor @royal1dd @0xadriandefi @DeFi_Dad @Nomaticcap @mbaril010 @PhilMrlo @thedefiedge Linking back to first tweet below... Please RT if you enjoyed! :)

Gm lads - blustery day here in ze subtropics! -Gonna do some heavy sprints -Lift weights -Jump in pool -Do @thedailydegenhq -Accumulate more $FXN -Geek out on some tokens on my research list ($TRUE, $WALLET, etc) -Have giant homemade, foidmade feast -Play Settlers Of Catan -Go on moon-maxxing walk -Go to sleep 💪🌙 What are ya'll doing this fine Sunday?

If you've been waiting for a nice little pullback to take an $FXN position this is likely a good one... I try not to talk about price that much and just focus on ze fundamentals, but I firmly think this is the most asymmetric r/r in crypto right now... $204M TVL vs $3.8M market cap(!)... And that is for one of the most interesting projects in defi currently- With a proven, battle-tested, and extremely well-respected team- With clear PMF, generating legit organic revenue from its operations- At the forefront of the stablecoin + privacy + perps narratives- With an insanely cool new defi primitive @FX100Perp in the final stages of testnet... Obviously I'm bias because I work with them, but at the same time- I chose to work with them specifically because of all of the above :) But yeah... No degree of abject wordcelism can properly convey my boolishness and I will be accumulating as much as I possibly can at these prices as it should be VASTLY higher 💪

It really does feel as though we've hit a new inflection point in the Weimerica story where both rate cuts AND high rates are pushing assets up... Glad to see brypto doing well too though! Indeed... with altcoins surging and a big conference going on it almost feels like the glory days of 2021 or 2024 or something - very wholesome stuff :) But yeah... keep getting after it lads!

@thedailydegenhq Tagging some good friends who may appreciate :) @hooeem @crypto_linn @WovenDissent @Nomaticcap @DeFi_Dad @pahueg @inversebrah @kenodnb @twindoges @0xadriandefi @PhilMrlo @lampropeltis_ @0xCheeezzyyyy @QuotableCrypto @Flowslikeosmo @CryptoRick98 @CryptoKoryo

Take note ya'll! @FX100Perp's testnet is now live! If you didn't watch the utterly brilliant video below I highly encourage you to do so :) And then join the Liquidation Game! -Up to 100x leverage -15 minutes of liquidation protection -Location: Base -Objective: Survive the volatility and profit! As background, @FX100Perp is the new project from the absolute gigabrain crew at @protocol_fx... The liquidation protection that FX100 is pioneering is based off the prior advancements the team made via their work on @protocol_fx and its architecture, and is a first of its kind in on-chain crypto. @protocol_fx continues to absolutely kill it, with TVL and revenue and $fxUSD supply surging over recent months, and @FX100Perp will be a 'sister protocol' to it, so to speak, focusing specifically on high-leverage trading with the aforementioned liquidation protection. I've been working with @protocol_fx over the last year and own a ton of $FXN, so I am very bias (will also flip the partnership tab on this), but I personally think this is the most exciting launch in all of defi in 2026... These dudes are the absolute apex of everything we value crypto for... They are insanely smart, relentless in experimenting and iterating and shipping, idealistic, high-integrity, and passionate exemplars of the OG Etherean ethos of decentralization and permissionlessness and all the other qualities that make crypto an improvement over the legacy tradfi system... And most of all the product they have created is just ridiculously valuable to defi users and traders. For comparison, you could trade binary outcomes on the 15 min $BTC chart on Polymarket right now at max 2x leverage for a capped gain... whereas with FX100 you can do the same via the 15 minute liquidation protection at up to 100x leverage with uncapped upside... Its really insanely cool and exactly the type of thing that originally made me fall in love with defi and go down the rabbit hole on all this stuff back in the day :) Will link to more info below!

I fixed my dopamine problem with a 5 minute routine. Two rules are essential before I touch my phone. Working at the intersection of AI and crypto will wreck your baseline if you let it. Phone already open before both feet hit the floor. Three feeds pulling at once, before I've done anything that I actually have to do that day. Rule one: mind before media. Rule two: intention before interruption. Nothing touches a screen until both are done. The routine itself is eight steps, five minutes total. Step 1: Center Three breaths. How do I want to show up today: present, focused, generous, calm. Naming it already changes the day. Step 2: Orient Progress over perfection. Listen more than I speak. Protect my attention like it's capital, because it is. Curiosity over certainty. Step 3: Identity Who do I need to become today. Someone who gives value before asking for anything. Actions follow identity, not the reverse. Step 4: Execute Smallest possible action. Earn the day through effort, not intensity. Small steps remove the resistance big plans create. Step 5: Reflect Turn the experience into something usable. What did yesterday actually teach me. Unreflected experience evaporates. Step 6: Integrate Why does the tiny action matter. Who becomes possible if I repeat it every day. Tie it to something I actually value, or it won't stick. Step 7: Evidence Look for proof of what's right. Moments of courage, chances to grow, something beautiful. The feeds already show you what's wrong, all day, for free. Step 8: Evolve If I repeated today 365 times, who would I become. Yield compounds, we know that in crypto :) Five minutes before the first notification. That's the whole routine.

The irony right now is as retail's checked out, Wall Street has rapidly moved onchain, specifically onto Ethereum. The biggest institutional bull run ever. Time to lock in! 👊 "We are seeing the largest institutional bull run in the history of digital assets at the same time that retail investors are checking out and tuning out and their sentiment is abysmal. And that is a big bullish divergence, but it is also a troubling and worrisome gulf to me because I think that if people are not in the trenches chasing memecoins on Solana or some bright shiny object and getting filthy rich, they have a tendency to look elsewhere for the next thing that's gonna, you know, pump this week as opposed to recognizing the huge amount of value and the fundamental adoption that's happening in this space and allocating patiently and allowing the market to come to them... They're going to onboard trillions of dollars of capital in various ways, and it's gonna take time to roll all of this out, but it's not slowing down. The genie's not going back in the bottle. and that's the opportunity here. You're already seeing Ethereum leading on adoption across all of these things, across tokenization, across stablecoins, across all these things. The usage of Ethereum keeps making new highs, Ethereum keeps innovating and adapting and unlocking new forms of applications and activities and innovations that weren't possible before. We're gonna see things like high frequency DeFi and agentic commerce and all these things, right? So yeah, the long winded answer, but yeah, it's the institutions get it, they've got it, and they're they're they're coming for it." -@BitcoinJesusETH Full @Edge_Pod on Spotify:
