NOTES:
• MicroStrategy's structure makes it impossible to blow up
• DATs trading at discounts lack restart mechanisms
• Ethereum staking yields ~40 bps after inflation/taxes
• Celestia's inflation driving price toward zero
• Ethena's depeg could trigger cascade in Pendle/Aave
• Hyperliquid has ~$10B USDC bridged, negotiating revenue split
