agree that it’s sad that the obvious has to be posted
but for those that haven’t been paying attention can be caught up

This is both a great post (well articulated), & such insanely obvious low-hanging fruit that it pains me that it even had to be posted.

i think after this cycle we’re gonna have a loooong winter in the grand scheme of things the end of this cycle should be equivalent to the dotcom bubble bursting then we slowly build again and then the real super apps will come and less than 1% of current…
best scenario for the proper rebirth and shift ^

QCP: With crypto narratives running thin, equities remain the primary focus. Last week's softer-than-expected US CPI print provided temporary relief, but the Fed is unlikely to pivot dovish just yet. Rate cuts remain uncertain, given ongoing tariff risks and inflation concerns. Vols are likely to remain elevated as the market scans for any clues on the Fed's next move, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Trump's policy shifts. — link

payment market will continue growing as stablecoins keeps pushing
as we've read here, stablecoins aren't just used for trading collateral as global folks hold it for various reasons
easing access and usage of these dormant stablecoins would be bullish

also good to note that stablecoin mc probably lost its strength as a bull cycle indicator since an increasing number people hold them for non trading collateral reasons
sidelined capital not so sidelined anymore

Spending long hours helping freeze funds for the Bybit hack has been eye opening.
This industry is unbelievably cooked when it comes to exploits/hacks and sadly idk if the industry is going to fix this itself unless the government forcibly passes regulations that hurt our entire industry.
Several “decentralized” protocols have recently had nearly 100% of their monthly volume/fees derived from DPRK and refuse to take any accountability.
Centralized exchanges end up being worse as when illicit funds flow through them a few take multiple hours to respond when it only takes minutes to launder.
KYT is completely flawed and easily evadable
KYC is just a honeypot for regular users bc of breaches/insiders and is useless in majority of cases due to purchased accounts.
DPRK laundering $1.4B from the recent hack has only exposed how broken it is.

Introducing Staking Tiers
Staking tiers will be determined by the amount of HYPE staked. The initial benefit of staking tiers is reduced trading fees. These updates are expected to go live on or after April 30 to give users time to adjust.
As part of this update, the overall fee system will be reworked. The new fee system will have the following properties:
1. Even without staking discounts, perp and spot fees are lower than CEXs for most users.
2. Fee sensitive users can stake HYPE to benefit from even lower fees than the existing system.
3. Protocol revenue is projected to increase.
4. HYPE will have more utility for users.
What else is changing:
+ Separate fee schedules for perps vs spot
+ Spot volume counts double toward your fee tier
What is not changing:
+ Maker rebates based on % of total maker volume
+ Perps and spot volume combined to determine your fee tier
For more details, see the Docs: https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/fees.
