today’s low‑hanging alpha is hiding in plain sight:
nasdaq just slid in a “staking‑enabled” $eth etf
translation: the sec is warming up to on‑chain yield for u.s. money‑managers
most of the timeline stopped at the headline. here’s the trickle‑down that actually matters:
every desk that hedges etf inflows will need raw eth for delta‑neutral books → spot gap opens the second allocations clear once grandma earns 3‑4 % through fidelity, lido / rocket restake yield becomes the new treasury benchmark for defi → rate desks will have to quote around it l2 sequencers can’t sit idle while institutions farm on mainnet → expect a flood of “wrapped staking eth” perps and basis trades across @Optimism, @base, @zksync, hyperEVM
the play is the next leg of the long‑degeneracy trade:
$BTC was the risk‑off warm‑up $ETH staking flips the switch to yield‑on anything stacked under eth’s economic gravity gets torque
shopping list i’m rotating into this week:
$ETH > the collateral everyone suddenly needs $stETH / $rETH > liquid wrappers that price the new “defi risk‑free” rate $LDO, $RPL > picks and shovels for the staking set $uETH (unit) > eth exposure + hidden unit airdrop optionality $HYPE > highest volume perp venue on hyperEVM, reflexive to eth tvl @prjx_hl + hlx points > cheap ways to farm the perp liquidity that follows yield weth/eth‑denom liquidity pool positions on @VestExchange, @Lighter_xyz, @hibachi_xyz > get paid to front‑run the basis trade
if grandma can park cash at X % without leaving her broker, you either front‑run the curve or you become the curve
