hXXI Epoch conclusion + new epoch ✅ 📊 +1.8% net in BTC over 25 days Vault Ratio back at its pre-August high. One 85,000 call written on @flowdesk_co expired out of the money at 82,111. Premium kept. Implied stayed bid into the macro calendar while realized decayed: whoever was blown out of gamma in August was not there to be blown out again. We close two weeks early: implied and realized both collapsed this week and the opportunity set moved. Into the midterms the trade is TradFi vs crypto relative value, where HYPE++, Texas Hedge and Hot7 live, not the Bitcoin surface. BlackRock's PBIT (long IBIT, long put spread, short call) is hXXI's trade in an ETF wrapper. If retirement money piles in, the surface gets a permanent call seller and the premium moves into the spread between BTC and SPX skew. Our HYPE++ already trades that swap and borrows BTC to run it. Next epoch hXXI is the lender ------ 📅 New hXXI epoch --> Deposits: open now --> Trading Starts: Oct 27 --> Epoch ends: January 15, 2027 --> Fees: zero --> Cap: 25 BTC Terms: 3% fixed in BTC + up to 3% kicker if HYPE++ closes above 15% annualized The fixed leg does not depend on how HYPE++ does. The kicker does. One surface trade is binary. HYPE++ runs an ensemble. TradFi is more "fun" than crypto right now. Fade D2 at your own risk.
