Markets Dip Irrationally, RUNE Holds The Line

Our Rune trade broken down, while BTC supply crunch intensifies during market dip. Are you holding strong or missing out?

In partnership with

Hey there, Hodlers!

The market’s bleeding, retail sentiment is in the gutter, and yet…institutions are quietly gearing up to dive into crypto. 🩸

What’s dragging us down?

Likely a mix of Trump’s tariff drama, his unpredictable public statements, and, well, the general chaos of global conflict.

Meanwhile, Strategy announced a massive Bitcoin buy, and we still dipped? 🟠

Who’s panic selling to Saylor?! 🤡

(We actually dipped down to $86k).

📅 Changing gears, make sure you’re aware of 2 big events coming up in the next few days:

  1. Wednesday: NVIDIA Earnings Report – This is a big deal. Crypto moves with tech, and Nvidia is basically the industry’s health check. If AI and tech companies are still throwing cash at NVIDIA’s chips, that’s bullish for the entire sector.

  2. Saturday: The Great SOL Unlock – About $1.5B worth of $SOL is unlocking, going to teams, seed investors, and firms that got discounted tokens via the FTX bankruptcy. Investors have likely already priced this in, with SOL sliding to $133.

We’ve already unloaded all our SOL, so what are we holding?

💎 What We’re Holding & How We’re Trading This Market

With markets in chaos and acting irrationally, we’re trying to play it smart…

🔹 Stacking SUI under $3: It’s our mid-term hold until markets recover.
🔹 Holding RUNE short-term: Drama = opportunity (more on this below).
🔹 Stacking BTC because, well… duh.

💼 Our 10-10-10 Portfolio right now?
Bitcoin, SUI, RUNE. That’s it. Keeping it simple.

💰Our personal bags?
Very similar to our 10-10-10 portfolio as well.
🔹 60% Bitcoin
🔹 20% Sui
🔹 15% RUNE
🔹 5% USDC

15% RUNE…huh?

Rune hit rock bottom at $1, and we pounced at $1.10-$1.20.

Why?

Because it’s one of the few projects with real revenue and an actual innovative product.

We’re bullish, and here’s why…👇

How Did RUNE Become a Top Holding?

RUNE 101: What Is It & Why the Drama?

Quick Recap: What is RUNE?

RUNE is the native token of THORChain, a decentralized L1 that lets you swap assets - like Bitcoin and Ethereum - natively across chains. No wrapped nonsense, no middlemen, just straight swaps. And they’ve been really good at it over the years.

So… What Was the Drama?

THORChain decided to get fancy and launched ThorFinance, a lending/borrowing product that… flopped. Hard. 💀

The chaos kicked off when the original founder unilaterally froze withdrawals, causing a bank run, node exits, and a massive RUNE sell-off.

The price crashed, emergency meetings were called, and within weeks, solutions were found and fixes were made.

Now?

The chain is stronger, more decentralized, and more resilient than ever.

💡 Our Thoughts On RUNE

Even with the recent market dip, RUNE is holding strong around $1.10. It seems uncorrelated with broader market moves - a sign that the worst might be behind us.

✔️ Drama resolved, bad actors out.
✔️ Tokenomics flipped from inflationary to deflationary.
✔️ THORChain is still a revenue-generating machine.

In fact, THORChain ranked #7 among all L1s for revenue generated in 2024 - and that’s without a massive bull run.

That’s real, sustainable income from swap fees, not just hype.

Now, THORChain is back to business as usual - pushing swap volume and stacking revenues.

All they need now?
