Research, Reports & Insights
In simple terms, the article argues that Pendle’s YT/PT system on Kinetiq is a massive overlooked opportunity that only whales seem to fully grasp. By splitting HYPE into PT (Principal Tokens), which act like buying HYPE at a discount with steady returns, and YT (Yield Tokens), which give leveraged yield and huge kPoint multipliers, investors can either play it safe or go degen for outsized rewards. While PTs lock in predictable ~30–35% APY through looping, YTs offer insane exposure—turning small amounts of HYPE into 30–40x more points and yield, which could translate into triple-digit ROIs if kPoints are valued highly in future airdrops. The key insight is that small wallets often earn more points per YT than big wallets, meaning the opportunity is arguably better for retail than whales. Despite some uncertainty in point calculations and dependence on Kinetiq’s long-term success, the data shows that stacking YTs for points now could be one of the most asymmetric bets in DeFi.
Jump Crypto: Dual Flow Batch Auction
Jump Crypto’s newly proposed “Dual Flow Batch Auction” (DFBA) is reimagining on-chain trading by batching orders into two separate auctions—one for makers, one for takers—every ~100 milliseconds. This structure removes the traditional time-priority rush, shifting the competitive edge toward better price and size rather than speed, which helps curb latency arbitrage and MEV issues while encouraging tighter spreads and deeper liquidity.How to Finance Supercomputers with USD.AI
