Ethena, Hyperliquid, and ONDO stand out in this cycle as high-conviction projects with exceptionally strong product-market fit (PMF). Ethena centers around its innovative stablecoin protocol, USDe. Through dynamic strategy adjustments and efficient capital utilization, it offers both high yield and stability. With over $1.3 billion in circulation, it reflects strong and growing market demand. Hyperliquid focuses on decentralized derivatives trading. Built on a high-performance L1 and powered by user-driven strategy optimization, it has seen a surge in trading volume. This showcases explosive ecosystem growth and has gained traction from both institutional and retail participants. ONDO bridges traditional finance and DeFi by tokenizing real-world assets (RWA), such as U.S. Treasuries. It meets the growing investor demand for low-risk, high-liquidity products, and its market recognition is rapidly accelerating. Each of these projects addresses a key pain point in its vertical: Ethena delivers yield stability, Hyperliquid boosts trading efficiency, and ONDO connects TradFi to DeFi through RWA. Together, they represent a combination of technological innovation and strong market traction. Looking ahead to 2025, macro conditions — from low volatility to policy tailwinds — further support their continued growth, positioning them as standout investment opportunities in this cycle.
