Research

Trading of the President's TRUMP memecoin sent the market capitalization to over $15B, resulting in all-time highs for Solana’s Real Economic Value, DEX volumes, and stablecoin supply. This event further validates Solana as the venue for high-throughput onchain activity, with Solana DEXs and DeFi applications as primary beneficiaries, while also signaling to further experimentation, utilization, and adoption of memecoins as legitimate financial instruments for speculation, crowdfunding, or capital formation. President Trump’s continued willingness to experiment in crypto reaffirms a highly-favorable political and regulatory climate for the industry.

L2s in a Portfolio

Blockworks Research

The L2 ecosystem has evolved into a complex landscape, with over $17B in market value and $50B in secured assets. While traditionally seen as high-beta plays on Ethereum, no L2 token achieved a beta higher than 1.0 relative to ETH in 2024. Furthermore, token dilution significantly impacted the sector, with a 1% increase in circulating supply corresponding to a 1.4% decrease in returns.

Zeta X: Reimagining Perps Trading

Blockworks Research

The Zeta core team is building Bullet, an ultra-low latency rollup for high-frequency trading (HFT) that will serve as the infrastructure for the next generation of the perps DEX, Zeta X, with an expected mainnet launch in Q1 2025. With Bullet and Zeta X, the Zeta team aims to overcome the technical limitations it has faced on the Solana L1. Architecturally, Zeta X will be more similar to Hyperliquid than Jupiter and Drift. We believe ZEX offers an attractive small-cap bet with significant upside, but with several execution risks.
