Great report on searcher profitability and continued work quantifying CEX-DEX MEV. I enjoyed this chart - whether throwing lots of darts or only a few, you can still be successful just like block building based on your margins.

Oh so you like stablecoins? Name every USD-backed one. Coinbase’s relationship with Circle and Circle’s fee-less redemptions are great drivers of adoption to look out for as we watch USDC grow across chains. Report should also help with $CRCL valuation models.

M1/M0 ratio is cool. Governments need to reassess their fiscal and monetary policies due to increased accessibility to more stable currencies.

5/ Credit contraction: Every dollar pulled from an emerging market bank or regional bank is a *multiple* of that in credit contraction. If a bank's M1/M0 ratio is 3.0x, then each $1 into a stablecoin is a $3 reduction in lending.

Case in Point - CoWSwap Solvers still provide relatively positive execution welfare for PEPE-WETH even though they'd likely use Univ3 for PEPE-WETH because it’s the most liquid pool and CoWSwap routes >85% executed trades through AMMs. "'Moo' says my mailbox"

One of my favorite topics to learn about because of the variety of intricacies in swap execution. This was an awesome report and shows there’s more factors involved in the swap supply chain we can research and that’s super cool.

I think we'll see institutions entering multiple spots in the DEX supply chain if they continue to build on public chains. Controlling both order flow and execution will be important, like Unichain. More control, more opportunity to maximize extracting value.

Institutional interest in DEXs is fascinating to me because of the variability in swap execution UX. Factors to consider: AMM math, aggregator routing, intent-based txs, connection to block builder/leader, how txs are ordered all have some variance which institutions don't want

This is great marketing for the benefits of DeFi lending and why more institutions should be on-chain. Replacing manual, operational risk, with immutable smart contract risk

"Yeah, so I probably should keep an eye on $POPCAT. $PNUT is covered by more CEXs. $BOME just got added by another CEX. I already wrote about $MEW and $TURBO. What're the odds $MOG breaks out. $TRUMP might pick up in volume on the screener. Have to simplify my token descriptions"
