Sushi for Christmas
Key Takeaways
- Alpha Opportunity: Despite a broad market shift away from DeFi, we think Sushiswap (SUSHI) presents an intriguing opportunity for investors at its current price. We discuss this further below.
- We note that leverage in the Bitcoin market is increasing, which may signal near-term volatility.
- Bullish indicators, including exchange outflows, increasing short-term SOPR, and a decreasing put/call ratio point toward a bullish breakout upon any liquidation event.
- Bottom Line: As Bitcoin’s leverage increases, investors should anticipate a bout of volatility at some point over the next couple of weeks. The current on-chain setup and options market activity point toward a bullish breakout. We maintain our positive outlook for Bitcoin, see the potential for Ethereum outperformance and view our altcoin baskets as an opportunity for those venturing further out on the risk curve as we head into the new year.
Value Investing in DeFi with Sushiswap

Despite events earlier in the year that might have suggested a changed stance from the Democratic Party, the political divide over the issue has grown stronger. The GOP has become the party that is undoubtedly more favorable to the industry. The attempted assassination of former President Trump, juxtaposed against a Democratic Party seemingly in...
Gox Wallet Movements Still Present a Risk, But Macro & Politics Keeps Us Allocated Here (Core Strategy Rebalance)

We have received soft jobs numbers and softer ISM reports, and cooler inflation figures, which have sent rates and the DXY lower. Unfortunately, the mere reveal of imminent sales from the German BKA and the solidification of the Mt. Gox disbursement timeline were not enough to put a bottom in for bitcoin....
LESSONS FROM OPEC We have witnessed a significant market panic partially related to formerly locked BTC hitting the order books. The major sources of supply include:Mt. Gox – 141,686 BTCUS Government – 8,100 BTCGerman Government – 50,000 BTC At current prices, this would equate to over $12 billion in supply. This threat, combined with an inhospitable macro backdrop (rising DXY, higher rate expectations, hawkish Fed), has brought BTC down to...
LDO Risk/Reward Looks Good Here, Immediate-term Macro Picture Still Uncertain (Core Strategy Rebalance)
FLOWS AND SENTIMENT STILL SUBDUED Last week, we received a better-than-expected CPI print, but the DXY continued to move higher due to global weakness and a hawkish Fed. We discussed the risks appearing in the metrics we use to gauge sentiment and flows. The overall lack of follow-through in the crypto market was evident. Volumes, net ETP flows, the Coinbase discount, stablecoin market cap trend, and search interest for key...
