2. Whale Capital Flows and Yield Strategies: Some funds shift from gold and BTC to crypto yield products (e.g., ListaDAO’s lisUSD staking), by staking mainstream coins to generate stablecoins and earn interest, creating a yield system that “does not rely on single asset appreciation but maintains continuous income.”
3. Impact of MSTR and BMNR on Market: MSTR provides short-term support through leveraged accumulation, while BMNR builds a defensive strategy via staking yields. Both reinforce narratives of Bitcoin as a “scarce safe-haven asset” and Ethereum as a “productivity platform,” intensifying market volatility and asset differentiation trends.
