Sun Yuchen just dropped some spicy takes in his latest interview. Here's what caught my attention:
He dumped 90% of his $ETH at $3600-4000 and rotated into US equities. Never bought back. That's not a degen flip—that's a conviction shift.
His thesis: $BTC is the base layer hold. $ETH is the trade. If you're not willing to trim when momentum stalls, you're not trading—you're coping.
On AI: He's long the narrative but short the Nasdaq short-term. Why? Everyone's piled into the same handful of names. Chips, data centers, compute—all expanding capacity. He's calling potential oversupply by 2027. When everyone's on the same side of the boat, someone's getting rekt.
AI phase 1 was selling shovels (Nvidia, infrastructure). Phase 2 is apps that actually generate revenue. Most AI stocks today are priced for perfection with zero earnings to back it. He's betting the hype unwinds before the real money flows in.
RWA is his next focus. Tokenizing real-world assets (stocks, bonds) on-chain. Not the ponzi kind—actual compliant infrastructure that brings TradFi liquidity on-chain. That's where institutional capital flows next.
His advice to retail: Stop chasing the hottest ticker. Ask who's paying for this tech and whether current prices already reflect 10 years of growth. AI golden age might be real, but most participants won't profit from it.
When a whale who rode $ETH from double digits to $4000 dumps 90% and walks away, that's not noise. That's signal.
