Sky Ecosystem's financial growth through a difficult year for crypto makes SKY stand out against other DeFi protocols, including Uniswap and Aave. Gross protocol revenue rose about 50% year over year in September, and surplus remitted to reserves swung from a $17m shortfall to $7m. Sky reports its first Stage 2 burn of 2.86m SKY; a crypto bull market could bring more growth. SKY trades around its price last September. x.com 

Sky Protocol's SKY is undervalued because the market still has not caught up with its rebrand from Maker. It ranks 9th in revenue across all protocols, yet is not worth far more than Aave or Morpho. It buys back over 300K a day, 3x Aave, while Morpho returns nothing to holders. It will take time for people to realize how big and important it is. A vote just cut buybacks 10x for three months to focus on the protocol, a good decision. x.com  x.com 

Sky deserves more credit as a DeFi lender that survives crashes without socializing losses onto depositors. It has had zero lifetime bad debt since 2019, through Terra, 3AC, FTX and every ETH crash. Its Dutch auction liquidations find true market prices rather than paying a flat bonus and rebuild after failure, with SKY minting as a never-triggered last-resort backstop. RWA integration keeps revenue from vanishing when crypto dumps, a structurally different model from pool-based protocols. x.com 

Sky is still badly overlooked given about $90M of annual revenue and USDS supply on a fast track to $20B outstanding. Investors who like Hyperliquid should like Sky too. x.com 

SKY looks undervalued at a $1.5B market cap, just 0.22x the $6.71B of USDS stablecoin supply it backs. Sky holds $5.6B in TVL, 3.7 times its token market cap, and USDS is about 2.2% of the $311B stablecoin market. Sky Ecosystem has completed its first burn of 2.86M SKY bought with 5% of monthly net protocol surplus, linking protocol performance to supply reduction. x.com 

Tokens that fund buybacks from revenue gained another reason to catch a bid after SEC staff said buybacks alone don't make an otherwise non-security token a security once its protocol is live. More usage can mean more fees for buybacks: Hyperliquid fees buy HYPE, Raydium swap fees buy RAY, and Pump, Jupiter, PancakeSwap, Aster, NEAR, Pendle, Maple and Sky do similar. Uniswap burns UNI from pool fees; Lido's DAO buys LDO by accumulation. Buybacks must be big relative to market cap and new supply. … Show more

Hyperliquid, Aerodrome and Sky generate revenue and will be rerated as crypto returns to fundamentals, even as Bitcoin's price action is unnerving. These tokens make money and reallocate it back to holders; projects without revenue, a real path to it, good tokenomics or institutional appeal will be stuck in the old era. x.com 

Strategy's approval to sell up to $1.25B of bitcoin for STRC dividends and debt interest removes the market's one big potential forced seller for now, leaving bitcoin's low float to push it to new highs. The move stretches the dividend runway from 5-6 months to 15+ months, or 25+ with the sale. With HODLed supply at a record, expect more chop, then new all-time highs and some altcoin outperformance. The risk: in a later secular bear market, Strategy's selling could feed a downward spiral. x.com  … Show more

Compound has its biggest catalyst in a while: per Compound, a new leadership team and a $52M DAO-approved development program, the largest in the protocol's history, to bring institutional credit onchain. April highs could come into play. The token has reclaimed its 20- and 50-day moving averages and is approaching the 200-day. x.com
