Saylor Survives, other crypto DATs are cooked


Listen Later

James Christoph explains why MicroStrategy can't be replicated, DATs are doomed, and crypto markets are more efficient than people think. Plus: Celestia's inflation problem, Ethena's systemic risks, and why Hyperliquid nailed their stablecoin strategy.

NOTES:
• MicroStrategy's structure makes it impossible to blow up
• DATs trading at discounts lack restart mechanisms
• Ethereum staking yields ~40 bps after inflation/taxes
• Celestia's inflation driving price toward zero
• Ethena's depeg could trigger cascade in Pendle/Aave
• Hyperliquid has ~$10B USDC bridged, negotiating revenue split
