Good now revolutionaries—Will Watson solo this morning while Evan and Alex are in Miami for the Super Team / Solana Foundation workshop. Short show, sharp tape. Cold open is Will sipping from the Arculus-sponsored espresso cup that Torii sent. Jito gets the on-air shoutout for being structurally unaffected by the recent DeFi exploits including Drift — "you can't say that about Solend either, but Jito is clean."
Market layer: stablecoins on Kraken still earning ~4% (Will's personal yield desk), Base continues to win in the bear market (backed by Coinbase, security infrastructure advancing), oil up overnight, BTC has flipped from the dead-even bull/bear pressure last week toward more bearish positioning — Will watches Binance market-maker behavior carefully. The Bitwise piece is worth flagging — traditional research team + on-chain team paired up at their recent event, messaging is all about crypto education. Will on the open: "I wouldn't mind a Bitwise sponsorship."
DeFi Llama deep dive: Hyperliquid leads, EtherFi underperforming (down on EigenCloud too), Pendle's actually up. Vaults are the post-Clarity-Act winner — Morpho + Steakhouse + Aave the shape of who wins next. Base ecosystem flipped: Uniswap up 10.14%, Aerodrome down 3.2% (Velodrome deprecating). Polygon's DeFi is functionally kaput — 40% of TVL is Polymarket; Polygon is now a payments-focused chain. Solana is bleeding from the Drift fallout but Jito staking is holding steady. Closing: code ARCURUMS10 for 10% off the Arculus hardware wallet, plus the Iran headlines watch — peace deal or escalation, you'll know by Friday.
