Derive (DRV)

🚨 @base AI & AI Agents 24H Flow Check | CPI + BoJ volatility drains conviction, bluechips MIA

🏆 Top Net Inflows (24H)
🥇 $DRV — +$25.03K
🥈 $GAME — +$24.86K
🥉 $LUNA — +$20.01K

⬇️ Rest of the Board

7️⃣ $ROOM — +$7.48K
8️⃣ $REPPO — +$7.19K
9️⃣ $PREDI — +$6.88K
🔟 $WAVE — +$6.49K

Post-CPI and BoJ volatility has left Base AI flows thin and directionless. $VIRTUAL and other bluechips notably absent (save $REI), while mid- and long-tail names lead on sub-$25K inflows. DEX volumes and buy pressure remain muted, signaling fear and disengagement rather than rotation. This looks like a full reset — next week decides whether we get a Santa Rally or AI drifts into year-end dormancy.

Meanwhile, perps and prediction markets became the darlings of DeFi. Options were labeled a boomer relic, too complex for on-chain markets.

But in TradFi, options never died. They just broke records:
➢ 3.8 billion contracts in 2024
➢ Averaging 15 million trades a day
