Wealth effect spilling into crypto
The stock market wealth effect from trillions of dollars printed is spilling into crypto, but most crypto hasn't moved yet. The three assets that are small, haven't pumped, and are reflective of this reflexivity are Bitcoin, Zcash, and Hyperliquid. They represent a high-conviction long setup for potential home-run gains.

Robinhood inferior to Hyperliquid
Robinhood (HOOD) is a $70B company offering brokerage and trading services, but Hyperliquid (a smaller, on-chain perp exchange at ~$45B FTV) is a superior platform for trading crypto and tokenized stocks, making Robinhood unattractive to buy at current levels.
