2025 was a big year for Cipher Research. From research and videos to working directly with some of the biggest teams in crypto, we expanded both our scope and impact. Super excited to continue building and scaling in 2026.

Every platform will eventually integrate DeFi and stablecoins to keep users inside their walled garden. Whop just did it. 21M users. $3B in annual payouts. Revenue that used to sit idle can be auto-deposited into @aave via @Plasma. Users don't know they're using DeFi. They just see yield on their balance. The next wave of DeFi adoption won't come from crypto natives. It'll come from platforms embedding it invisibly to stop users from leaving.

What if you could make the same profit whether the market goes up, down or sideways? That's exactly what @Neutrl does through OTC Arbitrage. In our example, Neutrl acquires locked tokens at a 50% discount, then immediately shorts at market price. Here's how it plays out 👇

Great breakdown from @CipherResearchx with a high-level explainer on Neutrl and OTC arb. I’ve been following Cipher for a while now, so when he reached out to do a video on Neutrl, I was really excited. When I first started learning about DeFi, I would watch Finematics religiously. I’ve always had a lot of respect for people who take on the educator role and can explain complex topics clearly. Cipher one of the few creators in the space putting out unbiased DeFi education, just for the love of the game. Give him a follow.

That was a high level explainer, a few nuances to note: - Funding rates factor into yield as either an additional boost or slight drawdown depending on market conditions - Majority of deals are sourced directly from foundations with agreed vesting of 3-12 months. Tokens with deep enough perp liquidity to hedge properly - Short positions are actively managed with minimal leverage to avoid liquidation risk
