Don't ask whether the bull is still here—true opportunities belong to those who perceive the undercurrents in silence. When the "Four-Year Cycle Theory" was declared over by top institutions, a whole new "Institutional Paradigm" is rewriting the entire narrative. Want to grasp the core logic of this market cycle? These three tracks and four projects are must-watch configurations.



**Track 1: The Certainty Dividend of Institutional Capital**

The faucet has been turned on; just find the most reliable connection point.

**$SUI** is an unavoidable target—being included in top fund ETFs and launching 2x leveraged products indicates that traditional finance has already issued an "entry ticket." On-chain data shows clearer insights: TVL has grown nearly 20% quarter-over-quarter, and the development team's activity has surged by 219% over the past year. Among projects of similar scale, this fundamentals stand out.

**Track 2: The Revaluation of Real-World Assets**

In the era of large-scale blockchain connection to real-world assets, the old valuation systems are being broken.

**$ASTER** is transforming from a trading platform to the DeFi foundational layer. In Q1 2026, it plans to launch its own Layer-1 mainnet and introduce staking mechanisms to build a complete financial ecosystem. Short-term, the stock price may still be under pressure, but this move towards the underlying layer opens up entirely different valuation imagination space.

**Track 3: The Explosive Power of Community Sentiment**

At the intersection of AI and Meme, a new wealth effect is brewing.

**$AT (APRO)** is a phenomenon-level community app—using sports betting as an interactive scenario, combined with a prize pool of 400,000 tokens to lock in user attention. This is a living textbook of the "Fat App" theory.

**Easter Egg Project**

Don’t underestimate a "joke" on social media—🐶 $PUPPIES Meme coins might be the next carriers of the "Elon Concept."

See you in the comments: which Meme will break through first?
SUI2.94%
ASTER1.28%
AT1.12%
MEME1.31%

The institutional paradigm has been talked about quite a bit, but SUI's data is indeed top-notch, with a 219% increase in activity that’s a bit outrageous. ASTER seems to be betting on a future, with a pretty ambitious story for 2026. PUPPIES, this one, is probably another game waiting for Elon Musk's statement.

Institutional paradigm? Basically, it's just a new way for retail investors to take the fall. The TVL data for SUI looks good, but it depends on who is trading. ASTER's Layer-1 sounds grand, but with actions not until 2026, it's too far off. I'm still optimistic that joke coins like PUPPIES could surprise everyone.

The four-year cycle theory is dead, but another set of rules has already started. The silence period is actually a window for bottom fishing.

The four-year cycle theory is dead, but how long can the new narrative last? To be honest, SUI this wave does have institutional backing, but haven't there been many projects previously "entered" by institutions? In the end, isn't it the same outcome. Will ASTER last until 2026? I doubt my mindset can hold up until then. The AT guessing app looks popular, but highly interactive things like this are often fleeting; user retention is the key.

SUI this wave indeed looks comfortable, with TVL and development activity both speaking for itself, but ASTER's story is a bit tense... The mainnet won't launch until 2026, so how much longer do we have to wait? I'm the type to worry about getting caught, haha

SUI's TVL data is indeed impressive, but inclusion in ETFs ≠ guaranteed returns. I've heard this kind of statement too many times. The key is whether the tokenomics are sound and to check the token unlock schedule. ASTER won't launch its mainnet until 2026? I find the current all-in strategy hard to understand. Saying short-term pressure is manageable sounds optimistic; I'm afraid we might have to wait a long time. Puppies and similar meme coins are pure gambling. Don't be fooled by the "Elon Musk concept" hype. SUI is worth paying attention to; for other suggestions, it's better to look at wallet address flows before making decisions. After research and analysis, this rhythm feels a bit familiar... another sign of a capital-driven scheme.

The bull market cycle theory is all bankrupt now. It all depends on who can seize this wave of institutional moves. SUI's 219% team activity level is indeed top-notch.

SUI this wave is indeed top-notch, funds are all leveraging, which says everything. But ASTER and others in 2026? Brother, getting on now won't hurt, short-term pressure is just a code word, I see it as a gamble.
