A month ago, our lead crypto researcher
@m0xt_ sold his
$SKY bag.
This past week, he bought it back.
Here's what changed (bookmark this)....
Sky just printed $46M in Q1 profit and revenue hit a record $123M - this is real cash flow from a working product.
The engine is
$sUSDS.
It grew 72% quarter-over-quarter. At scale, onchain, with a 3.65% yield, it's pulling in capital that has nowhere comparable to go.
If you're sitting on size and you want yield without taking on degen risk, the options thin out fast.
$sUSDS is increasingly the answer.
Ok, so what spooked
@m0xt_ in the first place?
He sold Sky when the protocol cut its buybacks.
His view at the time: without the protocol bidding its own token, there might not be enough natural demand.
Reasonable thesis (but wrong).
What he didn't price in was who would show up to replace those buyers.
The holder base shifted. Cutting buybacks looked bearish on the surface, but it actually built a stronger capital buffer and signaled long-term thinking.
That filtered out the short-term flippers and pulled in a different kind of investor - the kind that reads the financials and understands why a protocol building reserves is healthier than one returning every dollar to holders.
A few things he's watching before sizing up further:
Q1 may have been effected by the monthly settlement cycle pulling forward revenue from Q4. Q2 will be the cleaner number.
Operating expenses came in at $2.35M for the quarter, a meaningful drop from prior levels. He wants to see that hold as the protocol matures and automation does more of the work.
And the big one...
Does
$sUSDS keep growing at 3.65% yields? If so, it confirms there's nowhere better at scale for stablecoin yield onchain.
The setup right now: strong growth, real profitability, opex under control, and a valuation that hasn't caught up to the fundamentals.
That's why he's buying it back.
