Some people may not know this yet, but $VELODROME also needs to be merged proportionally with $AERO . The conversion ratio was announced at the New York conference a year ago. Some savvy folks have been arbitraging between these two coins for a year. Information asymmetry is money—pretty fun.

There are still 11 days left before the new version of $AERO goes live on 7 chains simultaneously. Most importantly, many media outlets still only understand AERO as a Base Dex. The upcoming multi-chain expansion, and the expected growth in TVL / fees, has not been fully priced in. In addition, the new version of AERO is not just about multi-chain expansion; MetaSwap will bring cross-chain trading, and the built-in MEV value capture can also drive significant fee growth. On the other hand, the new ARE engine will suppress token issuance to a lower level. Increase revenue and reduce costs. What remains unchanged is that 100% of the income is still fully distributed to sAero holders.

Research institutions #CITRINI latest publication argues: Over the past 15 years, blockchain has been searching for use cases. Now it has found one: AI doesn’t care if wallets are hard to use—it needs a financial system that can transfer funds 24/7. It also provides two asset portfolios: one covers DeFi and infrastructure, and the other corresponds to US stocks. In the DeFi portfolio, 7% is allocated to $AERO , at parity with HYPE and higher than UNI. This likely reflects optimism about the tokenized stocks and RWA main theme.
$SUI Founder Evan Cheng wore a leather jacket “just like Jensen Huang’s” and talked at length about AI on stage. Sui Agent Pass emphasizes the permission boundaries between agents and human users: humans authorize, AI executes. Rooms are collaborative spaces for agents to work with other agents and with people. Warrant enables programmable permissions and policy enforcement. It looks like Sui is building the connective tissue between AI agents, people, and commerce. The story is compelling; I look forward to seeing real-world applications.

$SUI 's latest challenge achieved over 40 million TPS.
By the numbers alone, it is clearly far ahead.
Visa's theoretical capacity is 65,000, while Mastercard's theoretical peak is 20,000.
In actual use, peak capacity is reached very, very rarely.
The key question now isn't whether the TPS is sufficient, but who will use it?
With performance this high, AI payments are really the only use case with a corresponding need.
Overseas, people are still interpreting the latest report on #CITRINI in all sorts of ways. It seems they’re taking the new narrative seriously. Some have built on the report to outline an “investable RWA tech stack,” adding $ETH to it as well. $AERO seems to be an asset that hasn’t been fully priced in yet.

Most of the comments on $AERO still say: DEX on the Base chain. It looks like there’s still an information gap here. It’ll take a little time for the information to spread.

The expectations for this gaming console were definitely set high back then, and there were even rumors of a partnership with Nintendo. But at the $SUI conference, gaming was nowhere to be seen. A diplomatic way to put it: the Sui team adjusted its strategy in time, embracing stablecoins and real-world finance, as well as institutions and AI agents. They’ve really let their imagination run wild. Now we’ll see how it all plays out.

While $SUI was going all out at Token2049, someone pulled out SuiPlay and threw it in the trash. The crypto gaming story they told back then—this version looks like it’s been completely abandoned.

$AERO This contrarian rally should have been driven by the news that “the aeroxyz audit engine project has already been completed.” Security is the lifeline of DeFi projects. aero has spent quite a long time on auditing, so we hope everything goes smoothly.

On October 21, $AERO 10 the new version was released, and it will enter the Ethereum mainnet. If all goes well, then it’s $UNI as Dragon 1, and $AERO as Dragon 2. It might be the most striking presence in the next wave of recovery.

$AERO and $UNI have some differences in their operating approach. Aero is more inclined to use voting mechanisms to direct liquidity toward more mainstream and durable assets. Tokenized stocks are clearly high-quality assets. Coinbase keeps pushing tokenized stocks, and Aero indirectly benefits.

$SUI is live: $CRCL USDC CCTP v2. That means native USDC can now be transferred between Sui and 29 other chains, burned on the source chain and minted on the destination chain. The most convenient part is that once it arrives, you can also swap or pay in the same transaction.
If there’s USDG on the $ARB network, you can deposit it into the $GMX USD vault. The annualized yield looks quite attractive. With early incentives, it can reach 15%, which is pretty sweet. Keep in mind the slippage when swapping to USDG.

#Arbitrium now supports native USDG on the network. It's expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in annual revenue. However, $ARB is still just a pure governance token, with no clear value-capture mechanism. It's hard to hold a token like this. I also have no idea what the foundation is thinking—is it just going to keep using ARB for subsidies without ever giving it any utility?
$SUI The event was once again packed with giveaways, positive partnership news, and a TPS challenge. But the price basically just followed BTC. It shows that plenty of people are watching, but hardly anyone is actually putting money in to buy.

$SUI Partnerships keep coming one after another, but the market is a different story. The SUI Foundation #MystenLabs and #googlecloud officially announced a partnership to build VAA, an evidence layer for enterprises.
The dominant force in the next bull market will be institutions. The narratives that seem most certain right now are stablecoins, tokenized stocks, RWA, and AI. By this logic, those likely to benefit include market-tested DeFi and infrastructure essential to decentralization, such as $UNI $AAVE .

Recently, a former BlackRock VP has been relentlessly shilling $LINK . Maybe he knows something; maybe #Chainlink just happens to be the kind of boomer asset that appeals to their crowd.
That said, the next bull market really does look like “the institutions are coming in.” It’s only natural that boomer assets—especially boomer DeFi—are getting attention.
