Variant: Three L1 Assets Most Likely to Become Major Stores of Value

The core thesis of this article from Variant is that first-layer blockchain (L1) assets can be effectively analyzed as value stores (SOV). A good SOV is defined by several key traits: technological durability, scarcity, censorship resistance, economic productivity, strong memetics, and liquidity. The total addressable market for SOV assets is massive, exemplified by gold's $31 trillion market cap. The article identifies three L1 assets with high potential to become primary SOVs, each excelling in different dimensions. Bitcoin (BTC) dominates in memetic strength and widespread belief as "digital gold." Ethereum (ETH) stands out for its technological durability and adaptability, evidenced by its ability to upgrade and navigate significant challenges. ZCash (ZEC) excels in censorship resistance and privacy via its shielded pool feature, offering a long-term path for asset protection. The author concludes that despite these digital assets possessing superior fundamentals in many aspects compared to traditional SOVs like gold, they still represent a small fraction of the total SOV market, presenting a significant opportunity.

The Age of Decoupling Has Arrived: Bitcoin is No Longer the Sole Compass of Crypto

The era of the cryptocurrency market moving in lockstep with Bitcoin is ending, as the industry splits into two distinct asset categories: endogenous and exogenous. Endogenous assets, like Bitcoin, derive value purely from the crypto market's cycles. Their narratives swing between being "interstellar money" in bull markets and "digital collectibles" in bear markets. Exogenous assets, however, are nominally crypto but operate with independent value drivers. Examples include: * **Venice:** An AI inference service using tokens for payments; its consumer-AI business model is decoupled from crypto price swings. * **Figure:** A fintech lender using blockchain to speed up loan approvals; its core value is in credit, not crypto. * **Stablecoin firms like BVNK:** Acquired by traditional finance giants (Mastercard, Stripe), their growth is tied to payment infrastructure, not market cycles. Hybrid projects like **Hyperliquid** (a decentralized exchange) show a shift, with a growing share of non-crypto trading (e.g., prediction markets). This divergence is fundamental. Endogenous assets remain highly correlated to Bitcoin, similar to gold miners to gold. Exogenous assets are evolving to have their own fundamentals, like the weak correlation between gold and the S&P 500. This changes investment analysis. Evaluating exogenous assets requires traditional fundamental research—assessing user bases, unit economics, and moats—more akin to fintech investing than charting Bitcoin. Promising exogenous sectors include: on-chain exchanges/brokers, AI-crypto fusion, privacy-focused digital banks, lending (institutional/private credit), stablecoins/real-world asset tokenization, payment rails, and non-financial crypto-consumer products. Currently, investing via equity is often safer than via tokens, as token value accrual mechanisms need further regulatory and industry development (e.g., the CLARITY Act). Nonetheless, the core trend is clear: crypto market drivers are diversifying from a single factor (Bitcoin) to multiple fundamentals, ending the era of uniform market moves.

Japan To Recognize Foreign Stablecoins As Electronic Payment Instruments Starting June 1

Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) will officially recognize certain foreign trust-issued stablecoins as "electronic payment instruments" under its Payment Services Act, effective June 1, 2026. This amendment excludes qualifying foreign stablecoins from being classified as securities, allowing domestic licensed operators to handle them. To qualify, foreign issuers must be licensed under laws equivalent to Japan's, cooperate with FSA oversight, manage reserve assets under foreign law with proper audits, maintain anti-crime systems, and ensure the stablecoin and its reserves are in the same currency. Eligibility for reliable redemption at face value will be assessed case-by-case. This move expands Japan's stablecoin regulatory framework established in 2022, part of broader efforts to regulate crypto assets. Recent steps include classifying crypto as financial instruments, proposing a 20% flat tax on crypto income, and issuing joint guidance for crypto use in real estate transactions, emphasizing KYC and anti-money laundering checks.

Fu Peng's First Public Speech in 2026: What Exactly Are Crypto Assets? Why Did I Join the Crypto Asset Industry?

Fu Peng, a renowned macroeconomist and now Chief Economist at New火 Group, delivered his first public speech of 2026 at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival. He explained his perspective on crypto assets and why he joined the industry, framing it within the context of macroeconomic trends and financial evolution. Fu emphasized that crypto assets are transitioning from an early, belief-driven phase to a mature, institutionally integrated asset class. He drew parallels to the 1970s-80s, when technological advances (like computing) revolutionized traditional finance, leading to the rise of FICC (Fixed Income, Currencies, and Commodities). Similarly, current advancements in AI, data, and blockchain are reshaping finance, with crypto assets becoming part of a new "FICC + C" (C for Crypto) framework. He noted that institutional capital, including traditional hedge funds, avoided early crypto due to its speculative nature but are now engaging as regulatory clarity emerges (e.g., stablecoin laws, CFTC classifying crypto as a commodity). Fu predicted that 2025-2026 marks a turning point where crypto becomes a standardized, financially viable asset for diversified portfolios, akin to commodities or derivatives in traditional finance. Fu defined Bitcoin not as "digital gold" in a simplistic sense but as a value-preserving, financially tradable asset. He highlighted that crypto's future lies in regulated, institutional adoption, moving away from retail-dominated trading. His entry into crypto signals this maturation, where traditional finance integrates crypto into mainstream asset management.

Goldman Sachs Applies for Bitcoin Covered Call Options ETF, Wall Street Accelerates Taming of Crypto Assets

Goldman Sachs Asset Management has filed with the SEC to launch a Bitcoin covered call options ETF, marking the bank's first direct move into cryptocurrency investments. The fund will hold Bitcoin exposure and sell associated call options to generate premium income, distributed to investors as monthly yield. This strategy caps upside potential during significant Bitcoin price rallies in exchange for steady income, targeting cautious investors seeking crypto exposure with reduced volatility. The product mirrors a well-established equity ETF structure that has grown rapidly, with the covered call category now holding over $180 billion in assets. Similar Bitcoin yield-generating strategies have been filed by BlackRock and offered by firms like Roundhill. This development underscores Wall Street’s ongoing integration of crypto into mainstream finance, exemplified by Goldman CEO David Solomon’s recent acknowledgment of personally holding Bitcoin. However, the product’s downside protection remains limited—premium income may not fully offset severe Bitcoin price declines, highlighting the persistent volatility of crypto assets.

Goldman Sachs Applies for Bitcoin ETF, The Last Wall Street Fortress Falls

Goldman Sachs has applied for a Bitcoin ETF, marking a dramatic shift in Wall Street's stance toward cryptocurrency. The proposed "Goldman Sachs Bitcoin Premium Income ETF" is not a spot ETF but uses a covered call strategy, holding spot Bitcoin ETF shares (like BlackRock's IBIT) while selling call options to generate premium income. This product targets institutional investors seeking yield rather than speculative gains, effectively packaging Bitcoin's volatility into a tradable income asset. This move follows Morgan Stanley's launch of its own spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT), which attracted $34 million on its first day. With 16,000 financial advisors managing $9.3 trillion in assets, Morgan Stanley's entry signals a broader institutional adoption phase. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh, a Fed Chair nominee, disclosed investments in crypto infrastructure like Polymarket and Solana, highlighting deepening political and institutional acceptance. Wall Street's reversal—from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon calling Bitcoin a "fraud" in 2017 to major banks now developing crypto products—underscores a pursuit of profit over ideology. The focus has shifted from debating Bitcoin's legitimacy to monetizing its volatility and integrating it into traditional finance, attracting conservative capital and reshaping the asset’s role in portfolios.

When the Narrative Bubble Bursts, What Are the Truly Valuable Crypto Assets?

After the narrative-driven crypto bubble subsides, truly valuable digital assets are those with sustainable value mechanisms, as evidenced by the failure of over 13.4 million speculative tokens. This analysis identifies two core token models: - **Native tokens** (e.g., Ethereum), whose value derives from network utility, acting as "security budgets" for decentralized systems. - **Backed tokens** (e.g., stablecoins like USDC), which are pegged to real-world assets (e.g., U.S. Treasuries) and provide verifiable value anchors. Sustainable tokens must reduce real-world economic frictions, evidenced in three dimensions: 1. **Macro-hedging**: Offering censorship-resistant, cross-border value transfer channels in high-inflation or sanctioned economies (e.g., Iran’s $7.78B crypto ecosystem). 2. **Real-yield anchoring**: Tokenizing high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) to bring off-chain yields on-chain, creating a risk-free benchmark for capital efficiency. 3. **Cost reduction**: Programmable smart contracts enable atomic settlements, automate compliance (e.g., KYC/AML), and cut transactional friction. Regulation has evolved from curbing speculative financing to building resilient infrastructure and implementing classification rules (e.g., EU’s MiCA). Compliance is increasingly embedded via coded rules (e.g., ERC-3643 standard), enabling real-time monitoring and reducing legal overhead. In conclusion, value accrues to tokens that embed tangible rights, lower cross-border costs, and align with regulatory frameworks, shifting focus from speculation to infrastructure utility.

SEC plans ‘token taxonomy’ for crypto assets even if CLARITY Act fails

U.S. regulators are advancing crypto guidelines independently of the stalled CLARITY Act. The SEC is developing a 'token taxonomy' to clarify how federal securities laws apply to crypto assets, providing regulatory obligations for firms and investors. Simultaneously, the CFTC is proposing rules for prediction markets and plans to issue guidance on crypto perpetual contracts. These efforts aim to establish enforceable frameworks even without broader legislation, as bipartisan support for the CLARITY Act remains uncertain due to disputes over stablecoin regulations.

How Is War Risk Priced? Prediction Markets Move Ahead of Oil Prices

This article analyzes how the escalating U.S.-Iran conflict was rapidly priced into global financial markets, highlighting a structural shift in risk discovery. When geopolitical tensions surged over a weekend—while traditional markets were closed—crypto assets and on-chain perpetual contracts (e.g., oil, gold) experienced immediate volatility, reflecting early risk repricing. Prediction markets like Polymarket and Opinion played a critical role by translating event outcomes—such as leadership changes, military strikes, and regime stability—into real-time probability curves, with trading volumes exceeding hundreds of millions. These platforms enabled continuous, granular pricing of conflict pathways before traditional markets reopened. Once Monday trading began, oil prices rose, Treasuries and the dollar saw safe-haven flows, and risk assets adjusted, confirming the risk premium already signaled on-chain. The event underscores how digital, 24/7 markets are increasingly becoming the first and fastest venues for geopolitical risk expression, changing how global events are priced and perceived.
