🚀 Aster's First Anniversary: Insights from Leonard on Market Trends and Survival
Foresight News posted on X (formerly Twitter) about a conversation between Joe Zhou of Foresight News and Leonard from Aster, marking the platform's first anniversary. The discussion focused on realistic market trends, survival strategies during bear markets, effective innovation, and how a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) can endure in a challenging market.
Leonard shared several notable observations. He criticized the industry's focus on decentralization for its own sake, labeling it a false demand. He noted that on their platform, trading volumes for gold and oil have surpassed those for Solana and XRP, placing them in the top five. Additionally, he observed a rapid increase in retail investors' demand for yield-generating assets.
Looking at the market from a long-term perspective, Leonard believes that the underlying logic of the next market cycle will increasingly resemble traditional finance. Investors will prioritize fundamentals and cash flow over mere narratives. He also predicted that the top 5% of platforms will monopolize 80% of the profits, suggesting that if a team's capabilities do not rank in the top 5%, it may not be worth fully committing to the sector, regardless of its potential.

🚀 China's Fund Reports Show Decline in Q1 Returns Amid Low Interest Rates
On April 10, the China Securities Regulatory Commission's official website began disclosing the first-quarter reports of public funds for 2026. According to Jin10, several money market funds managed by Debang Fund have released their latest operational updates. In the current low-interest-rate environment, the expected returns on fixed-income assets continue to decline, significantly affecting money market funds primarily invested in bond assets. The net asset value growth rate for these funds in the first quarter was generally around 0.3%, with some funds reporting quarterly performance below this threshold.
Additionally, the surge in oil prices in March has heightened inflation expectations, leading to an increase in long-term yields, while a loose monetary environment supports a continued decline in short-term yields, resulting in a steepening yield curve. Funds are currently focusing on shortening duration in their management strategies. Market analysts suggest that reducing the remaining maturity can mitigate the risk of net asset value decline due to interest rate fluctuations, enhance asset liquidity, and achieve a stable risk-averse strategy, thereby strengthening the portfolio's risk resistance.
