The read
The pattern is one trade, not five headlines. The durable money is moving into the plumbing (tokenized deposits) and the reserve layer (stablecoin-reserve funds), while the volatile asset gets sold by the funds that used to hold it. When the perpetual buyer sells and the banks build the rails, the fee pool is not in the coin. It is in the infrastructure underneath it.
