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.
According to the latest research report published by Delphi Digital, Dealers Always Win: Why Speculation is the Theme of the Next Decade, Robinhood (HOOD), Hyperliquid (HYPE), and Lighter (LIT) are listed as core targets for positioning in this investment theme. In evaluating these assets, Robinhood demonstrates the advantage of an integrated broker bundling event contracts, options, and cryptocurrency distribution; Hyperliquid, leveraging permissionless on-chain perpetuals and expansion protocols such as HIP-3 and HIP-4, is evolving into an on-chain clearing layer supporting multi-asset round-the-clock trading, while continuously repurchasing HYPE through protocol fees; and Lighter, which constructs its order book using zero-knowledge proofs, has also built competitive moats through zero retail fees and cross-platform distribution partnerships. Collectively, they form an infrastructure exposure designed to capture global speculative demand.
