• $POLYMARKET— Polymarket has shown the ability to move faster than traditional futures markets in response to geopolitical events, suggesting potential value in the platform.

  • “Polymarket, actually moved before, like, futures indices, which I thought was super interest. And it was a pretty wide gap in terms of this type of move, like, twenty minutes before other markets, which I thought was pretty significant.”

Bearish

• $ALTCOINS— The current market conditions for altcoins are characterized by less capital and increased dispersion, suggesting potential opportunities in shorting altcoins.

  • “The kind of the most real alt season was actually right after maybe, like, early twenty twenty three after the f FTX crash where it's just, like, everything reflated because it was all similar pools of capital with the same thesis. But now everyone's thesis is so different, and there's much less capital, I would say, for the alts that there's just gonna be a ton of dispersion.”
