Unfiltered Market Commentary
Everyone’s fixated on high oil prices and the next diplomatic headline, but they’re sleeping on the Solana stablecoins piling up—'Solana non-USDC/USDT stablecoin supply hits record $5B' (Crypto Briefing). If that patchwork of collateral unravels, you’ll see flash crashes that make current volatility look tame.
Meanwhile, Wall Street is gearing up for more anthill-scale hype around AI after ‘Moonshot AI unveils Kimi K3 model, challenging Anthropic and OpenAI' (Crypto Briefing), even as the Pentagon is funneling 100 tankers into Israel (‘US deploys 100 refueling tankers to Israel amid Iran conflict escalation'). It’s like investors swapped barrels of crude for barrels of VC cash—awkward.
Action time: carve out a slice for integrated energy plays (peep ‘Oil hits $90 as US-Iran tensions threaten Strait of Hormuz shipments' and ‘US gasoline prices hit $4 per gallon amid renewed Middle East conflict') and stick with revenue-generating AI stalwarts over the next moonshot.
