A prominent HYPE holder has advised users to custody their own assets on-chain to reduce the scope for CEX market manipulation.

10 minutes ago

Well-known HYPE token holder NMTD.HL posted that centralized exchanges (CEXs) may trade using users’ deposited assets, liquidate users’ positions, then replenish the relevant tokens back to original accounts or reserves to profit from the price difference. He also alleged that most tokens held on CEXs could face long-term price pressure, as users effectively surrender control over their asset prices to the platform and its management. NMTD.HL argues this practice has persisted for years, is steadily draining liquidity from the crypto sector, and casts doubt on whether some CEXs still have solvency issues. He urged users to self-custody their on-chain assets, transferring BTC, ETH and other crypto assets on-chain. The more users shift to on-chain trading and use decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid, the fewer opportunities CEXs have to manipulate prices with user assets, target user stop-losses and liquidate positions. Centralized platforms are opaque closed systems, and their profit models may involve trading against users via user deposits, profiting by triggering stop-losses and liquidations. For the crypto industry to achieve long-term growth, it must reduce reliance on CEXs, and Hyperliquid is the key platform driving this transition.

Serenity: A large number of excess return opportunities are expected to emerge in AI bottleneck areas by 2027.

Serenity released a report noting that Jensen Huang’s management experience at Nvidia highlights a critical supply chain strategy: If a company can lock in supplies of key materials in advance at low cost, it can avoid competitors suffering tens of billions of dollars in losses from supply shortages, making advance capacity locking extremely strategically valuable. For context, SOI’s photonics business revenue is projected to hit roughly $400 million in fiscal 2028. This supply chain dynamic will push procurement demand for key bottleneck segments further upstream in 2027, a trend that will hold regardless of whether Huang remains at the helm. On specific investment fronts, Morgan Stanley’s focus areas—copper clad laminates (CCL), ABF substrates, printed circuit boards (PCB), and optical module components—are worth watching. However, the bank is more bullish on sub-components with lower cost shares and tighter supply constraints, as well as key links that can lock in capacity in advance at lower cost. Currently, deleveraging pressures and broad market pessimism are indiscriminately weighing on related industrial chain assets, making it hard for individual stocks to fully reflect their fundamentals for now. Serenity added that it needs to be more selective when picking 2027 investment targets, reflecting on its 2026 investment performance. Still, as new architectures like near-packet optics (NPO) and co-packaged optics (CPO) gradually roll out across the industry ecosystem, a host of outsize investment opportunities are expected to emerge in key supply chain bottleneck segments.

OneKey Founder: Steer clear of leverage and altcoins during market corrections, hold firm to Bitcoin spot positions.

OneKey founder Yishi stated in a social media post that financial markets never trade yesterday’s sentiment, but rather expectations of future consensus and liquidity. The recent BTC price trend has disappointed many investors, with the entire crypto market generally gripped by fatigue, and some investors suffering severe financial losses and portfolio drawdowns. However, now is precisely not the time to succumb to despair. Market washouts and liquidity crunches are part of cyclical evolution; similar phases were experienced in 2015, 2018, 2022, and 2026. Even if BTC falls from $1 million to $500,000 in the future, the market may repeat this process. Core assets with genuine long-term value often solidify their positions when market attention is at its lowest and sentiment is most pessimistic. Investors should avoid using leverage and high-risk debt to bet on cycle bottoms, stay away from altcoins and get-rich-quick illusions, stick to holding core spot assets, and maintain sufficient cash flow to support normal living expenses. BTC often completes market washouts through extreme despair; only when market sentiment is completely frozen can the next rally possibly begin. In harsh market environments, survival is always the top priority, and time will ultimately select investors who can truly endure full market cycles.
