Castle Labs: The crypto market is shifting from “gambling” to “investment”; revenue generation and value returns will become the core competitiveness of tokens.
Castle Labs (@castle_labs) published a post stating that the current crypto market is undergoing a profound paradigm shift—speculative models prioritizing extraction are gradually giving way to investment logic oriented toward revenue generation. The article notes that since 2026, the broader crypto market has performed poorly: most assets have seen sustained price declines, ETF funds have continued flowing out, project shutdowns have intensified, and institutional VC investments have grown increasingly conservative. The key catalysts for this shift were last October’s large-scale liquidation event and the ongoing market reflection triggered by gold consistently outperforming Bitcoin. On the revenue data front, among the roughly 5,700 protocols tracked by DeFiLlama, only 3.5% generated over $100,000 in revenue over the past 30 days—and fewer than 1% actually distributed earnings to token holders. The article focuses on top revenue-generating protocols—including Hyperliquid (HYPE), Pumpdotfun (PUMP), Tron (TRON), Sky (SKY), Jupiter (JUP), Aave (AAVE), and Aerodrome (AERO)—analyzing their price-to-sales ratios (P/S) and token holder return metrics. It argues that protocol revenue—and its capacity to feed value back to token holders—is becoming the core metric investors use to evaluate and select projects. Regarding institutionalization trends, traditional financial giants—including NYSE, Robinhood, BlackRock, and Franklin Templeton—
Grayscale Announces Crypto Asset Yield Rankings: HYPE Holders Lead in Yield, CAKE Ranks Highest in Adjusted Earnings Yield
According to BeInCrypto, Grayscale released a crypto asset valuation ranking evaluated based on two metrics: "Token Holder Yield" and "Adjusted Earnings Yield". HYPE topped holder yields at 8.0%, with Lighter (LIT) following closely at 7.9%, and PancakeSwap (CAKE) ranking third at 2.6%, followed sequentially by AERO, UNI, RAY, PENDLE, AAVE, JUP, and CRV. In terms of adjusted earnings yield, CAKE led at 14.4%, with LIT at 14.1% and HYPE at 9.8%, followed sequentially by RAY, AAVE, JUP, SKY, UNI, AERO, and PENDLE. The report showed that five assets on the list had negative holder yields, including AAVE, JUP, and CRV, with CRV at -5.5% and JUP at -2.6%. Grayscale calculates holder yield as staking rewards plus buybacks minus new token issuance, so holders face dilution when new issuance exceeds total yields. While JUP's adjusted earnings yield stands at 3.5%, its holder yield remains negative.
Binance will support VELODROME merging into AERO and the AERO contract swap.
According to the official announcement, Binance will support the consolidation of the Velodrome Finance (VELODROME) token into Aerodrome (AERO) and the AERO contract replacement. All VELODROME will be converted at a ratio of 1 VELODROME = 0.044 AERO, while old AERO will be swapped for new AERO at a 1:1 ratio.
Aerodrome and Velodrome Merger to Launch on October 21, Aero Publishes Token Exchange Terms
Odaily News: Aero has published the token exchange terms and timeline for the merger of Aerodrome and Velodrome. The merger will launch on October 21 at 8:00 PM (ET), at which point token emissions on both legacy platforms will cease. Existing AERO can be exchanged 1:1 for the new AERO, while each VELO can be exchanged for approximately 0.044 AERO, with this ratio applying to both circulating and locked tokens. The VELO exchange ratio depends on the supply at launch, with Aerodrome holders allocated 94.5% of the new supply and Velodrome holders allocated 5.5%.Existing veAERO and veVELO positions will be converted into new sAERO positions, with remaining lockup time carried over and rounded up to the nearest full week, and permanent locks converted to maximum-duration staking. Tokens will not be exchanged automatically; self-custodied assets must be processed through the Aerodrome or Velodrome upgrade portal, and users must first claim rewards and rebase and clear active votes. The new model will replace the original weekly voting cycle with real-time allocation, allowing sAERO holders to direct rewards to pools and earn yield as exchange revenue accumulates, with a 47-hour cooldown period initially in place for allocation adjustments. The merger was announced in November 2025, and developer Dromos Labs originally planned to complete it in the second quarter of 2026.
Protocol-Level MEV Auction Goes Live, Aerodrome Slipstream V3 Expected to Generate Tens of Millions in Related Revenue
Odaily News: Aerodrome's Slipstream V3 has gone live, introducing protocol-level internal MEV auctions to its concentrated liquidity AMM. The upgrade redistributes value captured by sandwich bots and arbitrageurs to active liquidity providers and sAERO holders, with the protocol expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in related revenue. This version also introduces dynamic fees that automatically increase when market volatility intensifies, and retains Uniswap V3's concentrated liquidity design, achieving capital efficiency up to 4,000 times that of traditional AMMs. Aero plans to merge Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism into a single AERO token, and to launch on Ethereum mainnet in Q2 2026. Aero Lite has already launched Slipstream pools on Circle's Arc, and Dromos Labs is developing pool-level fee rebates and KYC options for institutional clients.
LAPTOP: 4 million tokens to be used to incentivize Aerodrome liquidity, with another 10 million to be burned
Odaily reports: The Hunter Biden Meme token LAPTOP Foundation has announced that the LAPTOP initial liquidity pool launched at a price of $0.05. Due to high market demand, participation by sniper bots, and insufficient initial liquidity from market makers, the price rapidly surged and then fell back in a short period. To improve liquidity, the team will inject 4 million LAPTOP tokens (0.4% of total supply) starting September 10 at 00:00 UTC to incentivize the Aerodrome liquidity pool. In addition, two prediction events in the Predictions allocation have been confirmed to settle as YES, corresponding to 10 million LAPTOP tokens that will be burned, accounting for 1% of total supply.The team also stated that the 30% of LAPTOP held by the founding team will be locked for 6 months and gradually unlocked over two years, custodied by Coinbase Custody; the 30% of tokens in the Predictions allocation will be locked for 12 months. Another 80 million LAPTOP will be claimable by subscribers who joined Hunter Substack before September 6, and any unclaimed portion after the 30-day claim period ends will be burned.
