Griffain launches Saga Genesis Token

In Brief Useless tokens gained significant attention and trading volumes this year. Splash, backed by Hippo, operates on the SUI network, promising easy token creation. Hippo prices surged upon announcement of buyback and burn strategy.

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.
