We break down the MegaETH post-launch situation, why the token isn't pumping despite an ultra-low float, the Ethena/USDM looping strategy that's juicing Aave yields, and what it would take to trigger a Monad-style rebound. We also dig into Virtuals Protocol's new robotic AI play (CAS), why it's basically a data labeling company with a token bolted on, and what Coinbase should actually do to save themselves, hint: it involves a BASE token and a Circle negotiation. And we close with Hyperliquid's HIP4: prediction markets on Hyperliquid, how the fee structure compares to Polymarket, and whether this is genuinely bullish for HYPE or just hype.
