#巨鲸动向 【🚀Trend Signal: Smart Money Shifting from ETH to DeFi Alpha!】



The Ethereum spot ETF experienced a net inflow and outflow of 75.89 million USD yesterday, marking a total of seven consecutive days of net outflows.

Market dynamics are quietly shifting—more and more funds are beginning to flow from ETH to high-quality DeFi protocols with solid fundamentals. This is not a withdrawal, but rather a strategic reallocation of funds within the ecosystem.

Why now?
With improving macro liquidity expectations, risk assets are welcoming a breath of fresh air. In this cycle, DeFi projects that have real revenue, strong cash flow, sustainable protocol income, and healthy token models are becoming the focus of institutional placement and smart money.

These projects may have the following characteristics:

· Strong revenue and cash flow
· Value accumulation mechanism on the token
· Clear competitive advantages of the protocol, high product-market fit
· A team that has proven capable of executing

In the early stages of liquidity recovery, it is usually a golden window for Alpha projects to outperform the market. Funds will not just stay on the surface, but will flow into the parts that are most capable of capturing value, narrative, and fundamentals.

Keep monitoring:
- Blue-chip DeFi staking and earning protocols
- Decentralized stablecoin and RWA pathway
- DEX and lending protocols with revenue sharing mechanisms

1. Mature main protocol (DeFi blue-chip)

· Project examples: Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE), MakerDAO (MKR)
· Main features/path: Trading, lending, stablecoins. After passing various market tests, it has the largest user base and fund scale.
· Latest developments: Continuing V4 upgrades, multi-chain deployment, and other important updates.

2. Real world assets (RWA)

· Project examples: Ondo Finance (ONDO), Maple Finance, Goldfinch
· Main features/path: RWA. Tokenization of traditional assets such as US bonds, offering relatively stable income, attracting the attention of institutional funds.
· Latest developments: The total scale of this route has reached a record high, becoming a bridge connecting traditional finance and DeFi.

3. Re-staking and liquidity protocol

· Example projects: EigenLayer, EtherFi (ETHFI), Pendle (PENDLE)
· Main feature/path: Re-staking/LST. Provides additional income and liquidity for staked ETH, as well as infrastructure security.

Liquidity is always circulating, and sharp investors are already preparing steps for the next phase.
