The tokens I'm watching into the next phase:


1. $HYPE (perps, revenue machine)
2. $LINK (data infra, institutional rails)
3. $TAO (AI, subnet expansion)
4. $AAVE (DeFi credit layer)
5. $ONDO (RWA distribution)
6. $PUMP (memecoin speculation)
7. $MNT (L2, retail funnel)
Revenue matters more this cycle. HYPE, AAVE, PUMP, MNT are all printing real cash flow. LINK and TAO are infrastructure bets. ONDO is the RWA play.
But here's the thing: tokens aren't stocks. Most have questionable value accrual.
In 2021, betting on tokens felt obvious. Everything pumped eventually.
Now, in 2026, with infinite tokens launching, picking winners is harder than ever. Huge difference between good product and good token.
Honestly though, my gut says something else will steal the spotlight and outperform all of these. That's how it always works.
These are my thoughts today. Could change next week.
HYPE3,08%
TAO-3,65%
AAVE4,94%
ONDO1,54%
