I think we’re slowly starting to see the Adoption Shift reflected in price when looking at the performance of the long-term projects from our FREE REPORT from a few weeks ago..
It was this one here: https://t.me/researchcitadel/1088
As you can see, I’m not trying to pick just any projects. I’m focusing on those with asymmetric upside potential.
When I say that the goal is for us to win together, I truly mean it.
The only project here that has underperformed is also the one with the greatest asymmetry.
I believe that once the real breakthrough happens, it will reward the long wait.
Keep in mind that it’s important to distinguish between long-term projects and momentum plays.
We still have a somewhat longer road ahead of us before the real wave of liquidity starts flowing into this space.
Yesterday, I also showed in the Weekly EDGE³ just how small the on-chain market on Robinhood still is, for example.
We really are still in the very early stages.
Enjoy your weekend!

| 2 | A quick TIBBIR update that I think everyone should see.
Anyone who has been with us from the beginning here knows how deep the TIBBIR connections to Ribbit Capital is, as well as to Micky Malka, the founder of Ribbit Capital.
I’ve been trying to figure out why there are still no official HOOD shares on the Robinhood Chain and while doing my research, I was reminded of something that happened over the past few months.
Shortly before Robinhood went live with everything, Micky Malka was actively buying millions of dollars worth of HOOD shares.
On top of that, the official Tibbir Holdings LLC holds 102,183 HOOD shares now.
So here’s the question: What if these shares are eventually tokenized and somehow connected to TIBBIR?
That could also explain why we’ve suddenly seen such aggressive accumulation over the past few weeks.
Personally, I would ignore the current volatility. If there really is a connection here and all of these pieces turn out to have a deeper meaning, I think we were incredibly lucky to have been here since 2025 and still have the opportunity now.
And if this ultimately turns out to be what I suspect, we could be looking at a project that becomes part of the agentic AI ecosystem.
That’s also why I’m not setting any market cap targets here. How am I supposed to put a valuation on something that has never existed before?
It will only become easier to estimate once we know what it actually is and how the flows work.
The tokenized HOOD shares could still come at any time, don’t get me wrong. But I found it interesting that these exact shares are being held by the Tibbir holding.
But for now, we have to be patient.

| 3 | Have you traded anything on Robinhood Chain at least once in the past few weeks/ days?
🔥 - Yes
👻 - No | 539 |
| 4 |  +2I don’t think the timing could have been any better.
A lot of members asked me which project offered a good risk-to-reward setup for a LONG projects and Spacehood was the one that stood out to me. That’s why I posted it in the channel and weeks before in the Momentum section.
This is exactly the kind of precision that matters during momentum phases like this.
To join us for September, send “EDGE³ Circle” to @XBTAnalyst and he’ll send you all the details.
I’m already looking forward to September, it’s going to be exciting.

| 5 |  TIBBIR continues to be accumulated by larger players.
I think we’re getting closer and closer now.
I’m especially happy that this was our first Gem in this channel and that we were so early, we already verified it as a Gem back in April or May 2025.
If it really turns out to be the KYA Layer, then we were one of the first to discover it.
Let’s see whether the momentum takes a break or whether the accumulation continues without slowing down.
And always keep the Algorithm Gem (TIG) in mind, that i share with you here, too.
All it takes is one algorithm and everything can change very quickly. Below $1, it is still a bargain imo.
Enjoy your day!

| 6 |  I think consistency is what makes the difference.
Just last month, this brother told me that he’d be on vacation in August and wanted to spend as little time as possible in front of a screen. So he said he’d only read the Weekly Edge because he knew that way he wouldn’t miss anything important.
And from the looks of it, he didn’t miss a thing. The Weekly Edge allowed him to stay on top of the momentum perfectly.
That’s exactly my goal!
In all the chaos of the crypto space, to create one issue per week that helps us keep a clear overview of what really matters, no matter how much time you have to spend on crypto each week.
When I see that the information is helping you, all the hard work feels worth it.
Especially during periods of strong momentum, I’m really happy when the insights help you achieve even better results and you’re satisfied with the value you’re getting.
To join us for September, send “EDGE³ Circle” to @XBTAnalyst and he’ll send you all the details.
Enjoy your day!

| 8 | You can’t imagine how much time we spend filtering projects and how long I think about whether a project or token should ultimately be posted.
This is especially important with lower caps, because there’s always a risk that we could end up becoming someone else’s exit liquidity if we’re not careful.
That’s also why I told XBT to be cautious. The last thing we want is for our members to become exit liquidity.
We’ve handled this extremely well this month, especially with the lower caps.
I’m proud of all members who used the information responsibly and didn’t place huge individual orders. Everything was controlled, which gave all members a fair chance.
And that’s how we can win together!
The Inner Circle is getting stronger and stronger.
When the momentum isn’t there, it’s obviously more difficult, but even during those periods, we give it everything, continue to deliver and are there for you.
And when the momentum returns, that loyalty and consistency will be rewarded even more.
Consistency is one of the most important things in this game.
We have two to three very intense years ahead of us and the goal is to bring as many of you as possible to the Pro Level and closer to your own goals.

| 9 | All the hard work is paying off.
I’m glad that the information in the Weekly EDGE³ and the EDGE³ channel is proving so valuable for you.
That’s exactly the goal. To filter out the most important information for you, so you can clearly see where the focus is and where the strongest potential lies.
I can’t trade everything myself, but I can show you where the potential is and filter out what isn’t worth your attention.
I always try to include only the opportunities in the Weekly EDGE³ issues where I see momentum.
The strategy our brother used here worked because we currently have strong momentum, but of course, that won’t always be the case.
Our hit rate is extremely strong and it becomes even stronger during momentum phases like this.
The most important thing is finding the right balance and adjusting your position sizes accordingly.
In a few hours, we’ll open access to the EDGE³ Circle. Anyone who wants to join will be able to get started with us today.

| 10 |  +3And then checking the charts and seeing them performing. | 646 |
| 11 |  Really happy to see this from you in the morning. | 477 |
| 12 | Tomorrow is the day.
The EDGE³ Circle for September is opening its doors and everyone who wants to be part of it and ride the momentum waves with us should not miss this opportunity.
And as you know, it’s not just about the valuable Weekly EDGE³ issues every Firday, you’ll also get access to the research we publish.
One place. Maximum EDGE³.
Preparations are already in full swing.

| 13 | I see a clear trend and the goal will be to get all of you to Pro Level.
Not because I want you to be on-chain 24/7, constantly monitoring everything...... i'm here for you to filter the important things.
I want you to stay ahead of everyone who is already here and everyone who will enter the market during this cycle.
And the reason is very simple.
More and more activity is moving on-chain and the best opportunities will emerge on-chain.
Of course, CEXs will continue to play an important role, but the biggest opportunities will start on-chain.
In this cycle, an enormous amount of liquidity will enter the crypto market.
For one simple reason: the products and projects being built are starting to make sense outside of our small crypto bubble. They are generating real revenue and that will be the key difference.
Existing systems will become more efficient and two worlds will increasingly merge.
At some point, it simply won’t make sense to use an inefficient system when a cheaper and more efficient alternative exists, especially when you consider where AI and autonomous agents are taking us and what TradFi is doing.
I believe we now have a window of around two to three years that we should take full advantage of.
That might sound like a long time, but you’ll see how quickly those years pass.
No matter what happened before, you now have the opportunity to hit reset and position yourself to benefit from the liquidity wave of the coming years.
This is the final major adoption cycle and we’re going to make the most of it together.
That’s also why you shouldn’t fall into the traps created by KOLs who will constantly try to pressure you and create FOMO to get your liquidity.
With all these social trading apps, it has become easier than ever for KOLs to use their audience as exit liquidity.
No matter how genuine or trustworthy they present themselves, the audience often ends up being used as liquidity, either directly or indirectly on these apps.
It’s not really about rankings or how good someone is as a trader. It’s about attention and using that attention to extract liquidity.
Once you understand that, you can also become much better at taking advantage of momentum waves instead of becoming part of someone else’s exit.
We’ll go into this in much more detail soon.
Focus on quality and use only a small portion of your portfolio for higher-risk opportunities.
You’ll see how important that approach will become in the end.
Now I’m getting back to the research, because we have an exciting road ahead of us.
Enjoy your day!

| 14 | On-Chain Trading Skills
How would you rate your on-chain trading experience?
React with the emoji that best describes you:
👍 - Never trade on-chain
(I only use centralized exchanges.)
🔥 - Beginner
(I’ve done a few swaps/trades on DEXs, but I’m still learning how on-chain trading works.)
😎 - Advanced
(I trade on-chain regularly and understand DEXs, slippage, gas fees, liquidity, bridges and common risks.)
👨💻 - Pro / Expert
(On-chain trading is a core part of my strategy. I actively use multiple protocols/chains and advanced tools or strategies.) | 613 |
| 15 | It’s always great to see how you use the information from the Weekly EDGE³ to make your own decisions.
And most importantly, I’m not just adding random projects and saying,
“This or that is performing well right now.”
I’m already filtering everything beforehand, so you have a better understanding of what has real potential and what doesn’t.
Some members have had an incredible hit rate with momentum plays over the past few weeks and all of those opportunities came directly from information shared in the Weekly EDGE³ Momentum section.
That makes me proud, because it shows how accurate and valuable the information are.
Personally, I can’t trade every opportunity I see, but I do spot most of them.
That’s exactly why I share them in the Weekly EDGE³ , everyone has different preferences, strategies and setups that work best for them.
But we don’t leave anyone on their own.
We’re always here to answer your questions and help whenever there’s something you’re unsure about, just as we’ve been doing all along.
Enjoy your Sunday!
🜁 Arcanum 🜂 | 670 |
| 16 |  I think the Weekly EDGE³ issues are becoming more and more valuable for you because they give you a much clearer view of where the momentum is and what is currently gaining attention. | 526 |
| 17 | Warning for This Cycle
Social media algorithms have become so extreme that they can subconsciously reinforce your existing opinions and beliefs.
What used to be a feed that we could somewhat use as an indicator of general sentiment can no longer be analyzed in the same way.
Today, algorithms can adjust your feed within minutes based on where you pause, what you read for longer, what you engage with and what captures your attention.
This used to be very different. Compared to a few years ago (even months ago), we are now in a completely different world.
Because of this, the sentiment you see on your feed is not necessarily objectively bullish or bearish.
Instead, it increasingly reflects what the algorithm has learned will keep YOUR ATTENTION.
It is important to be aware of this.
A heavily bullish or bearish feed does not automatically mean that the broader market sentiment is bullish or bearish.
The algorithm will play a major role in how many people perceive this cycle.
Those who are not aware of that risk falling into the trap of mistaking their personalized feed for reality and their trading results may suffer because of it.
Of course, this also applies to all other areas and is not limited to trading or crypto.
These algorithms are designed to keep you hooked and coming back for more.
Be aware of it and you’re already several steps ahead.
Enjoy your Saturday!

| 18 |  There’s a reason our gems have earned their “Gem” status.
And our brother is right. I found every single one of these gems through my own research, no deals, no paid arrangements, nothing like that. Just a lot of research and back pain too haha.
So be careful during times of strong momentum, because a lot of people will try to extract value from the attention.
Especially those who weren’t prepared will suddenly become active and start pushing, pushing, pushing.
I’m already seeing it on Twitter. People who haven’t been active for weeks or even months are suddenly showing up with paid shills.
One of the most important things over the next 2 years will be finding the right balance and knowing what to filter out.
Enjoy your day. I’m getting back to today’s Weekly EDGE³ issue.
🜁 Arcanum 🜂
P.S. You all know the our algo related Gem. Keep a close eye on it, I think it’s only a matter of time before something happens there. | 623 |
| 19 |  +1It looks like the Momentum section from last week’s Weekly EDGE³ issue was spot on once again, especially when it came to identifying the leader in RWA x Memecoins sector.
It makes me happy to see you winning and appreciating the value you’re getting.
That makes all the hard work worth it. But we’re still a long way from where we want to be and everyone who puts their trust in us will win alongside us.
🜁 Arcanum 🜂 | 589 |
| 20 | Watch how everyone suddenly becomes active again and starts posting their takes now that we’re getting some momentum back.
All the “told you so” posts start appearing. Yes sure, they told us....
But hardly anyone prepared for it beforehand, most people were quiet or waited. It’s always interesting to watch, especially on Twitter.
Not us. We were here the whole time with you and we started preparing.
Now you can see why I’ve been sharing the data with you in the past weeks, what smart money and institutions are actually doing, rather than what sentiment is telling you.
Go back and look at my latest data posts and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
I didn’t share the data here in the public channel for no reason.
When I say we win together, I mean it.
Those of you who trust and support us even more will naturally get an extra bonus, because you value and appreciate the research we put in.
But don’t worry, we still have plenty of time. I expect quite a few people to get shaken out over the next few weeks/ months.
The adoption phase won’t happen overnight.
The plan is playing out almost perfectly right now and we’re moving toward the scenario I talked about a few weeks ago in the Weekly Edge. The conditions for it are being created right in front of us.
You’ll see just how fragile traders are right now and how quickly they’ll flip-flop on their opinions.
Smart money isn’t called smart money for no reason.
They’re going to create a max-pain scenario to break the weak hands.
But not us. You’re in the best possible place to navigate this market.
Trust the data.
