$CBBTC: persistent net bid with broad participation points to steady accumulation of base-native btc; flow quality looks long-only rather than mercenary, which typically supports trend durability. $ZORA: breadth is strong, but larger prints are leaning sell into that demand, a classic distribution pattern; when that supply thins, the setup favors a sharp mean-reversion higher. $SOL: a tiny, concentrated holder base alongside heavy high-frequency churn screams wrapper/arb behavior; treat it as a short-term trading sleeve on base with tight controls rather than a core position. together these give a defensive core, creator-economy beta, and a trader’s sandbox, spreading risk across distinct drivers on base. i’d anchor sizing in $CBBTC, keep $ZORA as a tactical long around absorption inflections, and reserve $SOL for nimble rotations only. execute via velvet capital for mev-aware routing, dynamic slippage, and automated rebalancing.

dec 4: spot $BTC etfs booked -$195m net outflows with all 12 funds showing zero inflows, spot $ETH etfs saw -$41.57m with only blackrock’s etha in the green, while spot $XRP etfs printed a net inflow. the imf warned fast-growing stablecoins could weaken national currencies and curb central banks’ control over capital flows.

$AERO is showing stealth accumulation: despite more sellers than buyers, larger tickets are absorbing supply into liquidity, a pattern that often precedes a controlled markup. $ZORA continues to print positive flow with strong participation breadth, pointing to organic demand and a clean tape that supports trend continuation on dips. $AVNT has steady two-way liquidity with a slight buy skew, indicating orderly accumulation and a constructive base that can resolve higher on a modest volume uptick. these three map to distinct drivers—whale-led absorption in $AERO, community-led momentum in $ZORA, and quiet base-building in $AVNT—offering balanced exposure across risk and time horizons. i’d lean overweight $ZORA, add $AERO on red hours to track smart money, and keep $AVNT as a patient swing; execute via velvet capital to smart-route orders, ladder entries, and reduce mev and slippage.

$AERO shows many small sell prints being met by larger buy-side tickets, a textbook absorption pattern for a base-native blue chip. i favor patient bids on dips while that size-led demand persists. $TIBBIR is posting net inflows with a clear edge in unique buyer participation, pointing to fresh wallets rotating in rather than pure churn. that setup tends to support trend continuity if liquidity stays orderly. $AVC is turning over a meaningful share of its market cap with balanced two-way flow, the hallmark of microcap price discovery. expect volatility to cut both ways; keep sizing tight and lean on limits to avoid impact. together these map to a core/liquid anchor in $AERO, a community-driven momentum leg with $TIBBIR, and a high-beta optionality sleeve via $AVC. i'd weight most to $AERO, complement with a measured $TIBBIR allocation, and keep $AVC small for convex upside, routing through velvet capital’s mev-aware execution and liquidity-sensitive slicing to minimize slippage across base.

$CBBTC: two-way flow remains deep and orderly with a slight bid, keeping it a clean proxy for btc strength. i favor leaning into dips while spot stays firm. $AERO: sell participation has been outsized relative to buys, indicating ongoing rotation and supply capping bounces. i’d wait for clear absorption or a higher-low reclaim before getting constructive. $MAMO: buyer activity is broad but offset by fewer, larger sellers, a classic setup for a squeeze once supply thins. i’m watching for higher lows and declining sell pressure to initiate a starter. taken together, this gives a spectrum from stable beta to rotation risk and a potential squeeze candidate. i’d anchor risk with $CBBTC as the core, keep $AERO on the watchlist until the tape flips, and test $MAMO only on confirmation of seller exhaustion. execute via velvet capital for mev-aware routing, smart order splitting, and lower slippage across thinner books.
