THE NEXT $1B MEMECOIN IS ON HYPERLIQUID 🧪

The following is an article from the debut edition of LG Doucet’s Milk Road Degen – the newsletter that helps everyday people navigate the crypto trenches 👇

HyperLiquid was the biggest airdrop in history. And now LG thinks it will birth the next $1B memecoin.

This is your moment to grab the next $DOGE, $PEPE, or $WIF – question is, are you ready to come down the rabbit hole?

Well, here’s what LG’s got for you today:

• Why HyperLiquid is the next Solana

• How To Buy Tokens on HyperLiquid (hint: it sucks, but friction = profit)

• 3 Tokens That Could Hit $1B

So wtf is HyperLiquid again?

The biggest perps platform in the market. No really – look at this frigging chart:

It’s self-funded. It’s fast. It has no token VC unlocks in the near future. It airdropped literal billions to its community.

Oh, and there’s a second airdrop coming. Another 35% of supply. We don’t know exactly how to qualify yet, but safe to say you’ll need onchain activity to qualify.

Plus, it has now entered the top 15 in total market cap across all tokens. HyperLiquid is the winner of the cycle and it's not even close!

That’s cute. So where are all the memecoins?

Believe it or not, there’s only ONE token on HyperLiquid above a $100M cap right now: $PURR.

That’s it.

The rest are scattered in the sub $50M range, and honestly there aren’t even that many. In fact there are only eight tokens with a cap above $10M (including $PURR!)

Compare that to Solana, which has five memecoins above $1B, and Base, which has three.

Even Sui has $WALRUS at $725M. Avalanche has $KET at $500M. Cardano has a snake thing at $200M. 

HyperLiquid? Still waiting.

Which is weird. Because this chain has everything you need for a meme explosion:

• Cult on X that will constantly tweet “HyperLiquid”

• Airdrop-rich community that wants to run it back

• Gamblers (perps leader, remember?)

The community loves this product, man.

And the greatest catalyst of all in the degen world…

Onboarding f***king sucks

Look at this tweet. Look at it!!

Then look at the next one:

It is COMPLICATED to buy these memecoins. There’s no mobile app. There’s no Coinbase listings. You gotta FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT if you want the memecoins.

Just like you had to for NFTs. And we all remember how that went, right? (At the start, not the end).

Stop talking: just tell me what to buy

Alright before I shill highlight some tokens on HyperLiquid, here are two assumptions:

1. You read my thread

2. You love to light money on fire

Good. Glad we got that figured out.

COTD: BLACKROCK’S $BTC ETF IS SETTING RECORDS (AGAIN) 📊

Look at this chart. I mean really look at it.

What do you notice?

Yuh. BlackRock’s $IBIT Bitcoin ETF has gone ‘full Jordan’ and claimed #23, all in less than a year and a half.

For context: the next ‘youngest’ ETF on the list is 12.6 years old – meaning it has been around 9x longer than $IBIT.

And since its launch, $IBIT has added roughly $4.3B to its market cap per month on average, making it the fastest ETF to reach $70B. 👇

The takeaway:

Except for Michael “Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom” Saylor – none of us are bullish enough.

BITE-SIZED COOKIES FOR THE ROAD 🍪

Crypto cashback, baaaby! The Gemini Credit Card gives you 4% back on gas, 3% on dining, 2% on groceries and 1% on everything else.**

CPI numbers are in. It came in below expectations at 2.4% but still ticked up from last month’s data (2.3%).

The U.S. and China may have just reached a trade deal. Huge if true. We won’t be shocked if tomorrow’s headline from Beijing is: “We haven’t spoken to Trump in two weeks.”

We’re seeing another crypto company file for IPO. This time, it’s Bullish — a crypto exchange backed by Peter Thiel.
