I rebuilt the comparison using BTC-relative ratio charts
(HYPE/BTC, ASTER/BTC, LIT/BTC) instead of % overlay charts.
This removes all visual distortions and shows the real relative strength.

Result (Jan 1 → Now, BTC-based):

🟩HYPE/BTC: +40%
→ Clear outperformance even while BTC is down
→ Ongoing capital inflow

🟥ASTER/BTC: -10%
→ Underperforming BTC
→ Capital not returning

🟨LIT/BTC: -27%
→ Initial hype faded
→ Clear relative weakness
This tells us something important

The market is not buying “PerpDEX as a category”.
It is already selecting at the product level.

The uncomfortable but honest conclusion

edgeX looks great in revenue efficiency,
but we cannot ignore one fact:
Aster and Lighter are already live, already priced,
and still heavily underperform Hyperliquid.

So revenue alone does not guarantee re-rating.
The only possible breakout point

edgeX has one clear edge:

Revenue efficiency relative to volume and TVL

This is the only angle that could allow it to break
the ceiling that previous PerpDEXs could not.

But whether that is enough
can only be verified after TGE.

Final takeaway
This is not a risk-on market.
But it is not full risk-off either.

It is a selection phase.
Capital is not fleeing.
It is staying only with products that are already proving themselves.

HYPE: proven
ASTER / LIT: priced
edgeX: waiting to be proven

A controversial claim has spread on social media alleging that Zooko Wilcox, the founder of Zcash, personally met with Jeffrey Epstein, the controversial figure whose name was linked to an extensive network of political, financial, and sexual crime connections before his death 😱

This meeting—if true—raises significant questions, especially since Epstein was known for his early interest in cryptocurrencies, including prior claims of contacts with figures in the Bitcoin world or funding cryptography-related research through entities like the MIT Media Lab 👀

The strangest aspect is the timing: just a few weeks before this claim became public, the Zcash project experienced a major internal crisis leading to the mass resignation of the Electric Coin Company (ECC) team, the primary developer of the protocol

The resignation stemmed from sharp disagreements over governance with the board of Bootstrap, the nonprofit organization overseeing the project. Former CEO Josh Swihart described it as a "constructive discharge," noting that changes to employment terms made continuing the mission impossible while maintaining integrity

The team announced plans to establish a new company to continue building "unstoppable private money."This coincidence raises suspicions among some: Was the withdrawal an attempt to distance themselves from any potential fallout related to this alleged meeting? Or is it merely a coincidence in a project that has suffered from accumulated governance tensions for years? Zcash is no stranger to controversy; it has previously faced criticism over its funding model and "premine," as well as regulatory attempts by bodies like the SEC.In the end, the facts remain unclear 🧐

There is no conclusive public evidence so far proving the nature of the meeting or its direct impact on the project. However, this incident reminds us of the complexity of the crypto world: technologies aimed at financial freedom can attract—whether intentionally or unintentionally—controversial figures. Privacy is valuable, but it comes with significant responsibility to maintain the project's credibility and community trust

XRP is down ~40%
• It’s speculative
• It might benefit if a new crypto summer starts
• $50 is a “safe bet”

What it really means:
• This is framed for lottery-ticket psychology, not investing
• The dollar amount ($50) lowers perceived risk and raises emotional buy-in
• No timeline, no macro context, no Q3–Q4 framing
• Catalysts are mentioned, but not sequenced

What’s missing entirely:
• Interest-rate environment and liquidity cycles
• Japan / global rate timing
• ETF flow sustainability vs headline launches
• The difference between infrastructure adoption and price action

This isn’t analysis.
It’s permission for impulsive exposure.

There’s nothing wrong with speculative capital —
but real investing starts with timelines, not dollar amounts.

Not financial advice. Just reading between the lines.

XRP: Why Q3–Q4 Matters More Than Headlines (and Why That’s Boring on Purpose)

A lot of the current XRP coverage is stuck in short-term narratives:
• “Extreme fear”
• “Imminent breakout”
• “This time is different”

None of those answer the real question.

The real question:
Does XRP see sustained demand once macro conditions stop fighting it?

Here’s why Q3–Q4 matters:

• Rate expectations and global liquidity are still a headwind in Q1–Q2
• ETF flows matter more over quarters than days
• Institutional portfolios move slowly, deliberately, and boringly
• Adoption shows up in infrastructure first, price later

XRP doesn’t need hype to win.
It needs time, clarity, and patience.

If:
• ETF inflows stabilize instead of spike
• Exchange balances remain structurally lower
• Payment rails, custody, and treasury use cases continue expanding

Then price follows after confidence builds — not before.

Short-term fear and short-term euphoria are the same emotion wearing different masks.

Q3–Q4 isn’t about a moonshot.
It’s about whether XRP earns a seat at the table when capital reallocates again
