Why the conviction moved

  • Oct 10
    Strengthened +2

    Robinhood Chain's daily transactions fell from 10.8 million to 6.2 million since mid-September, and value secured on the chain dropped 8.1% in a week even though Robinhood still pays network fees on customer swaps. A newer chain is losing activity despite fee subsidies, which fits capital and usage drifting away from chains outside the largest venues.

  • Oct 9
    Strengthened +3

    Abstract, the consumer layer-2 from the Pudgy Penguins team, set a December 15 shutdown and says assets left after that will become inaccessible. Users can exit only through a native bridge with a three-hour delay or a migration portal. A branded long-tail L2 closing outright is the consolidation this thesis expects as on-chain capital concentrates.
