➥ Infornation gap = ALPHA
An info gap is the discrepancy b/w what a few people understand early and what the rest of the world has yet to notice.
And within that gap, alpha is born.
→ Alpha comes from timing + perception. → When you see what others haven’t, you gain the right to act first.
#Crypto is a decentralized market with fragmented data, emotional sentiment, constant leaks.
This creates fertile ground for info gaps.
So I’ll explain why does info create an edge? ▸ Markets move on new info ▸ Those who know early can act early ▸ Once everyone knows → alpha disappears
I’ll provide you all types of Info Gaps in Crypto here ↓
➊ Options Data
- Mostly used by whales + institutions, mainly for #Bitcoin.
- They regularly place $10B+ bets per session, likely with insider knowledge or early signals.
- If you know how to read options, you can front-run whale moves and news cycles.
➋ Technical Analysis (TA)
- Knowing how to read charts helps you confirm trends and timing.
- TA + options data = a powerful alpha-hunting combo.
➌ Fundamental Analysis (FA)
- Understanding tokenomics, smart contracts, burn/mint mechanics, and staking models gives you a major edge over typical FOMO traders.
- Knowing team background, comunity vibe, fundraised (learn how to judge VC from @DeRonin_) help filter out fake projects.
- TVL, net money flow, revenue, and the fee model...
All that stuff helps you figure out how long a project's gonna stick around and actually do well.
➍ Onchain Data
- Wallets activity, token flows, liquidity movements, those who can decode these early can anticipate shifts in momentum before the crowd.
- Wallets' lable helps you monitor big entities + whales holding & their behaviour pattern.
➎ Sentiment/Mindshare
- Spotting when the market is in fear, boredom, euphoria and mindshare lets you go against the herd.
- Mindshare is not only apply fo #InfoFi, you can find it in macro trends, specific developments, narratives, and even protocols.
➏ Ecosystem Insight
- Knowing which L1s are seeing serious investment (rising TVL, more dApps) allows you to enter early.
- Check for devs ability, builders grants, github activities... will help figure out real development.
➐ Participant Hierarchy
- From nations → institutions → founders → VCs → influencers → users…
- The higher you are in this stack, the more alpha you have access to.
So what’s a profile of someone with alpha in crypto if you ask me?
It’s someone who has mastered the art of spotting, understanding, and using info, before the rest of the market catches up.
➔ The key isn’t knowing more but understanding deeper, earlier.
You should always ask yourself: ▸ What is the true nature of this? ▸ What are others not seeing yet? ▸ What action can I take based on my unique understanding?
Sometimes, alpha comes from others.
A sharp researcher or influencer who shares first-principle thinking, accurate breakdowns, and sees through hype… that’s someone worth following.

Even if someone help you enlighten to something outside crypto, that’s alfa too.
