We’re proud to share that Glassnode has been shortlisted in three categories at this year’s Hedgeweek Global Digital Assets Awards:

Alternative Data Provider of the Year
Digital Asset Research Provider of the Year
Solution Provider of the Year: Data and Research

These awards celebrate excellence among service providers in the digital asset space - from fund administrators and legal advisors to research and data platforms. The selection is based on peer voting, making the recognition especially meaningful as it reflects the trust of our industry and community.

Why This Matters

Being nominated in three distinct categories is a strong endorsement of both our data infrastructure and research capabilities. Over the past year, we’ve pushed forward on two key fronts:

  • Research: Through collaborations with industry leaders like Coinbase Institutional, CME Group, Gemini, and Fasanara Digital, we’ve delivered timely, data-driven research that has shaped how institutions view the market. From quarterly guides to trend analyses, our work continues to bridge traditional finance and crypto through clear, actionable insights.
  • Product & Data Scaling: We’ve scaled both horizontally - by expanding coverage to new ecosystems like TRON, Solana, and 500+ ERC-20 tokens - and vertically - by deepening metric granularity and improving backend performance. Initiatives like Cost Basis Distribution for multiple chains and On-Chain Retention are a reflection of our commitment to innovation in behavioral and structural metrics.

We believe this nomination speaks to the progress we’ve made toward making digital asset markets more transparent, understandable, and data-driven - for everyone from institutional analysts to independent investors.

Help Us Get There

If our data or insights have helped you make sense of the crypto markets, we’d appreciate your support.

Thank you for being part of our mission to raise the standard for crypto market intelligence.

Retail Investors' 'Lead Brother' Serenity vs. Newly Minted Stock God Leopold: How Are the Two Top Hunters Mining AI's 'Physical Limits'?

The article profiles two prominent figures, Serenity and Leopold Aschenbrenner, who are gaining attention for their unconventional investment strategies focused on the physical constraints of the AI boom, moving beyond mainstream software narratives. Serenity, an anonymous online trader, advocates a "shiso leaf" theory. He targets small-cap companies with monopolies on critical, overlooked components in the AI hardware supply chain, such as specific semiconductor materials. His deep, technical analysis of bottlenecks in areas like co-packaged optics (CPO) has reportedly yielded massive returns, though his anonymity and focus on illiquid micro-cap stocks pose significant risks for followers. Leopold Aschenbrenner, a former OpenAI researcher, founded a multi-billion dollar hedge fund. His macro thesis argues that physical infrastructure—power grids, land, data centers—is the true bottleneck for AI growth, lagging far behind chip production. Consequently, his fund employs an infrastructure arbitrage strategy: heavily investing in storage and compute infrastructure companies while placing massive bearish bets (put options) against major semiconductor stocks, betting their valuations will correct as physical constraints become apparent. While their methods differ—Serenity drills into microscopic supply chain details, while Leopold takes a macroscopic, infrastructure-focused view—both share a core belief: the real power and investment alpha in the AI era lie in controlling scarce physical resources, not just software. The article concludes by noting the inherent risks in both approaches, such as liquidity issues for micro-caps and timing risks for macro bets, but suggests they signal a broader market re-evaluation of AI's foundational assets.

Who Will Make Money in the Age of Agents?

In the Agents era of blockchain, traditional value capture theories face challenges. The "Fat Protocol" theory, dominant since 2016, suggested protocols capture most value as their tokens are essential for network use. However, the proliferation of interchangeable L1s, L2s, and modular layers has eroded protocol scarcity and pricing power. Conversely, the "Fat App" theory posits that applications capturing user relationships (like wallets and exchanges) become the primary value layer by controlling distribution and transaction flows. This aligns with the current "Great Repricing" cycle. Agents disrupt this logic. As software users, they lack brand loyalty, prioritize cost and efficiency, and switch between platforms seamlessly. This undermines the front-end UX moats that "Fat Apps" rely on. The article explores several potential futures: 1. **Headless Applications:** Current leading apps could strip their front-ends and become backend API infrastructure for Agents, preserving their role. 2. **Protocol Resurgence:** If integration becomes trivial, Agents might bypass aggregators and interact directly with protocols, reviving "Fat Protocol" dynamics. 3. **Pricing Power Collapse:** Agents' rational, frictionless routing could commoditize the entire stack, compressing margins toward cost and leaving little profit for intermediaries. 4. **Unprecedented Activity:** Agents may enable new, high-frequency, machine-to-machine economic activities, expanding the total value pie even if margins are thin. 5. **A New, Unnamed Model:** Historically, major tech shifts (like the internet's attention economy) create unforeseen business models. The Agents era may spawn entirely new ways to capture value. The most likely outcome is a coexistence where "Fat Apps" continue to serve human users valuing UX, while a separate, Agent-driven economy emerges governed by different rules—where loyalty is based on factors like liquidity, latency, and settlement guarantees rather than brand.
