@0xDripz the $111T stat reframes the whole conversation & most of the world's capital is patient capital but crypto leverage was never built for it

The $111T equities market runs on buy-and-hold capital. 88% of it. People want to own things for years. Crypto leverage, on the other hand, is built for hours. It relies on borrowed capital, counterparties, and funding rates that bleed value over time. It forces you to trade, not hold. @FragmentsOrg is solving the mismatch with BTC-Jr. They’re creating leverage from structure, not debt. The protocol splits Bitcoin volatility into two perpetual tranches. Junior (BTC-Jr) gets 1.33x exposure. Senior earns yield. No external borrowing. No liquidation risk. This structural shift directly addresses the two forces that erode leveraged returns over time: volatility drag and financing drag. By using a modest multiplier (1.33x) and keeping fees internal, BTC-Jr is designed to be durable across different market conditions. Leverage shouldn’t just be a number. It should be a path that’s actually viable to walk. Fragments is proving that path exists. If you’re a long-term holder who wants more exposure without the baggage of traditional leverage, join the waitlist: link.fragments.org/rally

@HexZypher @FragmentsOrg no liquidation triggers means you can actually hold through a 30% drawdown without the product removing your position for you

Most leverage products are designed for people who enjoy checking their phone at 3am to see if they still own the thing they bought. BTC-Jr is not that. Leverage asks a simple question: How much exposure do you want? But the answer changes depending on how long you plan to hold. Most leverage products assume you're a trader. They're built around borrowed capital, short-side counterparties, and liquidation thresholds all of which work fine if you're in and out in hours. The costs are predictable enough when the timeline is short. Hold for months, and the math shifts. Volatility drag accumulates. Financing drag compounds. What started as a simple leverage multiple becomes a slow drain. The product wasn't built for the timeline you're using it on. @FragmentsOrg came at this from a different angle: what if leverage came from structure instead of debt? BTC-Jr is the Junior tranche of a system that splits Bitcoin volatility. The Senior tranche provides the leveraged exposure. No borrowing. No external funding payments. No liquidation triggers. Just a clean structural separation that creates 1.33× exposure you can hold. It's not a trading instrument. It's leverage for buy-and-hold investors who want amplified upside without the operational overhead of managing risk every time the market moves. That distinction path vs. outcome is the whole point BTC-Jr is live on Fragments Built on cbBTC Waitlist: link.fragments.org/rally

I've never understood why leverage feels like something you rent, not something you hold. Turns out, that's by design. Leverage has a quiet problem nobody talks about. It's built to expire .... @fragmentsorg Every leveraged position comes with an invisible countdown. Funding rates. Liquidation thresholds. Volatility drag. The structure itself forces you to be a trader, even when you want to be a holder. BTC-Jr from Fragments removes the countdown. 1.33x Bitcoin exposure. No borrowed capital. No liquidation. No external fees. The leverage comes from restructuring volatility, not taking on debt. Junior absorbs amplified exposure. Senior earns yield. The system balances itself internally. What you get is leveraged Bitcoin that doesn't need to be traded to survive. This isn't about higher multiples. It's about leverage that behaves differently over time. Less drag. No forced exits. A path that actually lets compounding work. Most leverage products solve for the outcome. BTC-Jr solves for the experience of holding it. Waitlist is open. Worth signing up if you've ever wanted conviction-sized exposure without the baggage. Join their waitlist 👇 link.fragments.org/rally

I think most people hear "leveraged BTC" and immediately assume the usual package: more upside, sure but also more chaos, more upkeep, more hidden cost, more ways to get punished for simply holding too long That is why BTC-Jr from @FragmentsOrg is interesting to me. Not because it is the most extreme form of leverage. Because it is not. It is 1.33x BTC exposure, which already tells you something important. The design seems more focused on durability than spectacle. And once you look at how it works, that makes even more sense. BTC-Jr is not built on debt. It does not rely on liquidation mechanics. It is created through the structure of the protocol itself, where Bitcoin volatility is split into perpetual tranches. Junior gets amplified exposure. Senior gets lower-volatility exposure and earns yield. BTC-Jr is the Junior side. That means the leverage comes from structure, not borrowing. That is a pretty meaningful shift, because the problem with most leverage is not just the multiple. It is the maintenance cost of the path. If the product is always bleeding, always exposed to liquidation, always dependent on someone else being on the other side, it becomes a short-term instrument even if the user wants long-term exposure. BTC-Jr feels like a direct response to that mismatch. Leverage for people who actually want to hold is a real category. It has just been served badly for a long time. This looks like one of the more thoughtful attempts to fix that. I am on the waitlist: link.fragments.org/rally Would also follow @FragmentsOrg now rather than later. They mentioned active users may be rewarded in the future, and either way this is one of the more interesting BTC product ideas I have seen recently

@ZenoxWeb3 @FragmentsOrg the durability point is what got me. most leverage products feel like they're designed to fail eventually

@Rukon__Kholifa so basically leverage without the usual pain points is this finally something you can actually hold?

I used to have a simple rule: never hold leverage overnight unless you enjoy the adrenaline of possibly losing everything while you sleep. Leverage, as it’s traditionally built, is a short-term instrument. You borrow. You pay funding. You set a liquidation price and pray the market doesn’t sneeze. It works for a trade. But for long-term conviction? It’s structurally hostile. So when @FragmentsOrg started talking about Bitcoin Junior (BTC-Jr) leverage without debt, no liquidation, designed to be held I assumed it was marketing fluff. It’s not. It’s a genuinely different architecture. Most leverage relies on an external counterparty willing to lend or take the other side of your trade. That introduces three problems: borrowing costs, ongoing funding payments, and a liquidation threshold that makes the position fragile. BTC-Jr flips that. Fragments takes a pool of cbBTC and splits it into two perpetual tranches: · Junior (BTC-Jr) gets 1.33× the upside exposure. · Senior gets a yield, absorbing the first layer of volatility in exchange. There’s no external debt. No funding rate paid to a hedge fund. No margin call because the market dipped 5%. The leverage is structural it emerges from how the two tranches interact, not from a loan. Why 1.33×? Because higher leverage eats itself over time through volatility drag. This multiplier is a deliberate choice to make the product holdable, not tradable. For anyone who’s ever wanted leveraged Bitcoin exposure that aligns with long-term holding no expirations, no hidden fees, no liquidation risk this is the first credible version I’ve seen. They’re still in pre-launch. Waitlist is live. If this sounds like something you’ve been waiting for, go sign up: link.fragments.org/rally

@_CrownDEX so it’s basically a structured product but without the bank fees and fine print?

Every leveraged position I've ever held had an expiration date I didn't choose. Either I closed it, or the market did. BTC-Jr is the first one that doesn't assume I'm a trader Most leveraged BTC products are a quiet wealth leak You pay funding rates You pray volatility doesn’t spike your liquidation price You watch compounding work against you They're built for traders, so they punish holders BTC-Jr from @FragmentsOrg takes a different path. 1.33× exposure, but no debt, no counterparties, no liquidation How? Fragments creates leverage from structure splitting volatility into Junior (amplified) and Senior (yield-bearing) tranches. The leverage comes from internal segmentation, not external borrowing. That means no funding costs, no margin calls. It’s built on cbBTC, so the collateral is real and verifiable. This changes what leverage can be: an asset you hold, not a trade you manage. If you've wanted amplified Bitcoin exposure without the overhead, the waitlist is open: link.fragments.org/rally

@ZenoxWeb3 @grvt_io I open the app more than I trade too. didn't connect that to the unified balance until reading this

The platforms that survive a quiet market aren't the loudest ones in the room. They're the ones where TVL doesn't quietly reverse after the incentives run out. Where volume doesn't need a bull narrative to exist. Where the infrastructure has been live long enough that zero downtime stops being a promise and starts being a track record. @grvt_io is sitting at $100M+ TVL, $200B+ cumulative perpetual volume, 70+ live markets, and zero downtime since launch. These numbers aren't decorative. In a market that's been selectively brutal on platforms without real product-market fit, each one of those metrics is still holding. » The volume figure is the one I keep returning to. $200B doesn't accumulate from occasional interest. It accumulates from traders who came back, repeatedly. That's retention. That's a product that works under real trading conditions. You can't fake your way to that number. » The TVL retention in this environment is equally specific. Capital sitting in a platform through a slow period means the risk-adjusted case is still being made. For traders using the unified balance model - earning up to 11% yield on collateral that stays fully tradable - the math is genuinely different than anywhere else. That's not marketing. That's a structural edge. » The 28% community allocation, recently increased, matters for a different reason. Teams that expand community ownership when their metrics are strong are signaling something about their long-term orientation. It's easy to make community promises in a bear market. It's a different signal when you do it with $100M TVL on the board. The Aave partnership in progress adds institutional credibility to what's already a technically serious platform. zkSync settlement, off-chain matching, no KYC, full self-custody. Built by people who came from institutional trading and understood exactly what execution quality actually means. Most of the attention in this cycle is still chasing noise. What Grvt has been doing is building the kind of foundation that either gets discovered early or gets discovered later. Either way, the metrics are going to be there when people look.

@ZenoxWeb3 quiet markets reveal which teams are actually building. the ones still posting real numbers right now are a short list

@ZenoxWeb3 @grvt_io the fact that they said it in an AMA instead of burying it is what builds the trust tbh

The part of the Grvt AMA nobody is talking about enough is what it confirmed about point protection ...not just what it added @grvt_io is expanding community allocation by +6% in Season 2. Not reducing it. Not rebalancing it. Expanding it while explicitly protecting every point already earned. Think about what that means structurally: More total allocation flowing to the community bucket Zero erosion of prior farming effort Token per point math improves, not worsens I've been in enough farming campaigns to know that "expanded allocation" is usually cover for dilution. The supply grows, the existing holders absorb the cost, and the protocol gets to call it generosity This is the actual inverse of that pattern. The team had every incentive to stay quiet and let Season 2 proceed without clarity. They chose an AMA. They chose to confirm protection directly. 100M+ TVL. 200B+ volume. 70+ markets. 28% community allocation. This isn't hopium. This is a structure worth staying in. Points are protected. Allocation grew. The thesis is intact.

For the past few days, I've been trading on @grvt_io 's mobile app; not because I had to test it, but because the flow actually made me want to keep using it The deposit experience set the tone. I sent USDC from my wallet, and instead of the usual multi-step ritual ....approve, deposit, move to sub-account, wait .... the funds appeared in a single unified balance, ready to trade. • No friction • No mental overhead • Just deposit and go That's the part most on-chain exchanges get wrong. They optimize for settlement but ignore the interface between capital and action. Grvt's app solves for that interface • Unified balance means you never have to think about "which wallet holds my trading collateral" • Order entry on mobile is clean. Depth charts, order types, and portfolio are all where you expect them. • Execution speed matches the experience of a centralized exchange, but with self-custody and verifiable settlement I've spent years bouncing between CEXs and on-chain platforms. Grvt is the first where the on-chain version doesn't feel like a downgrade in usability If you're still managing separate pools for trading and yield, try the deposit flow once. It's a small thing, but it changes how you think about the platform

@Rukon__Kholifa @grvt_io If idle funds can quietly earn yield in the background, it implies

Over the last week, I've caught myself opening the Grvt app at odd times morning coffee, waiting for a reply, before bed. Not because I'm about to trade, but because I want to see what happened while I wasn't looking. That's never been the case with other on-chain exchanges. Usually, my workflow is: deposit, execute, close, forget. Capital sits idle until the next move, doing nothing unless I manually stake it somewhere else. Grvt changed that pattern with a simple mechanism: the unified balance. The USDC I use for perpetuals is the same balance that quietly earns yield in the background. No moving funds, no separate vaults, no manual claiming. It just accumulates while I'm doing other things. The "Earn on Equity" section is where this became tangible for me. I placed a limit order that didn't fill for two days. When I came back to adjust it, I noticed the balance had grown, not from trading, but from the yield earned on the idle portion. That small detail reframed how I think about the platform. Now I'm not just logging in to execute trades. I'm logging in because the app gives me a reason to stay connected. Capital that's always productive changes the relationship between user and platform. It turns a tool into something you check regularly, not out of obligation, but because it's genuinely useful. For anyone tired of on-chain platforms where idle funds feel wasted unless you manually chase yield, Grvt's approach is worth experiencing. Deposit once, and let the balance do two things at once. @grvt_io

@_CrownDEX @grvt_io Hard agree, being able to just... deposit and trade without the 3-step dance is how it should have always been

There's a particular kind of quiet that settles over crypto when the market isn't screaming. • No euphoria • No panic • Just stillness For most platforms, that stillness means stagnation. Flat TVL. Shrinking volume. The slow fade of attention drifting elsewhere But that's not what I'm seeing with @grvt_io right now What stands out most genuinely is the divergence → I'll rephrase: What stands out most, genuinely, is the divergence. While much of the market has gone quiet, Grvt’s numbers keep moving in the opposite direction. TVL crossing $100M+ while countless other platforms are fighting to hold their lows. Volume sustaining at levels that would've been headline news a year ago. Social activity rising, not because of hype cycles, but because real users are finding real utility. This isn’t a "pump" narrative. It's structural & here's what I actually pay attention to • The TVL growth feels earned Not from liquidity mining campaigns that evaporate the moment incentives dry up. From a simple fact: the product works. Unified balance, earning yield while trading, self-custody without sacrificing execution. These aren't buzzwords it's features that solve real friction points When people deposit and stay, that tells you more than any vanity metric. • The volume isn't just retail. You don't hit 200B+ in cumulative perpetual volume without attracting serious capital. What that signals to me is trust. The kind of trust that comes from execution quality, tight spreads, and infrastructure that doesn't buckle. Off-chain matching with on-chain settlement was always the right architecture. Now we're seeing why • The momentum is happening in the quiet. That's the part that matters most to me. When attention is scarce, that's when real adoption happens. No noise. Just people moving capital to where it works hardest Grvt is growing through this period, not despite it. That suggests durability. If you've been watching the perpetuals landscape, you've seen platforms launch with fanfare and fade just as quickly Grvt feels different. The growth right now isn't flashy. It's steady & the kind of growth that compounds: TVL attracting more liquidity, deeper liquidity attracting more volume, more volume attracting more traders A loop that only strengthens when the market wakes back up

@_CrownDEX That quiet period often reveals which platforms have substance, and Grvt's TVL growth

A lot of Web3 companies do not struggle with access to capital. They struggle with turning that capital into clean business operations. That distinction matters. It is one thing to hold stablecoins. It is another thing to actually run a company from them without creating messy approvals, weak spend controls, scattered reimbursements, and slow manual finance ops. That is why I think the INFINI Corporate Card is the strongest part of the INFINI Business stack. I signed up for INFINI Business before writing this because I wanted to understand the product from an operator lens, not just repeat the obvious talking points. And the clearest takeaway for me was this: the Corporate Card solves one of the most immediate business problems first. Teams need to pay for the tools that keep work moving. - ChatGPT - Claude - Cloud spend - Ads -bSubscriptions -nSaaS -bOperational software If that layer is still being handled through personal cards and reimbursements, the company is introducing friction where there should be structure. That is why the Corporate Card stands out. It gives business spend a cleaner system. But what makes the product more relevant, especially for founders, operators, agencies, creator teams, and Web3 companies, is the broader infrastructure around it. INFINI is also building around AI-powered finance workflows, seamless transfers, stablecoin invoicing, payment rails, payout flows, on/off-ramp, and earn for treasury efficiency. So the card is the main subject. But the reason it matters is because it sits inside a wider finance ops stack. That wider setup matters a lot for Web3 companies. A realistic company workflow today might look like this: hold stablecoins in treasury, use the Corporate Card for subscriptions and team spend, use batch payout for contributors or vendors, use stablecoin invoice or payment gateway to collect, use on/off-ramp when traditional rails are needed, and keep unused capital working more efficiently through earn. That is a much more practical story than generic “crypto payments” content. It is business infrastructure. @0xinfini @christianeth #infinicard And that is why I’d recommend INFINI Business to people who actually operate teams, not just talk about tools. Attached a screenshot from the app because finance products should be evaluated through real usage and real workflow context. If you are a founder, operator, agency, creator team, or Web3 company, register for INFINI Business here: join.infini.money/business/asRzD… Then apply for the INFINI Corporate Card and complete your KYC so you can test it in a real business environment. The strongest finance products are not the ones that sound the most futuristic. They are the ones that make the company easier to run.
