To be honest, after being in the crypto market for a while, you'll notice a golden rule: in the early bull market, it's all about the narrative; in the mid-bull, it's about traffic; but when it gets to the end of the bull and into the bear, the only projects that can really survive are those quietly building core infrastructure.



Take a look at the current public chain space—it looks just like a chaotic construction site. Layer2s are caught in a price war, modular chains are showing off their puzzle game via PowerPoints, and everyone's fighting over the same limited user base. But if you pay attention to on-chain capital flows, you'll notice something interesting: the sharpest money is pulling out of the meme-hype chains and reallocating to projects with solid technical foundations.

Injective ($INJ) is my top pick among these.

Many people still only know it as "high TPS" or "backed by a top-tier exchange," but after the Volan mainnet upgrade earlier this year, this chain is no longer just a speedster—it's becoming a standardized global financial operating system.

Not just a public chain, but a system. There's a big difference there.

I'm going to break it down from the code level up, using the simplest language to explain where Injective's moat really lies. After reading, you might understand why, in this cycle, INJ is the kind of "foundation asset" you need to allocate at least some position to.

It's that same argument of "infrastructure is the key" again... It's not wrong to say that, but who isn't saying that now? How many actually have something to show for it? I have indeed been paying attention to INJ, but I always feel like it's a bit overhyped.

nah this is the copium i needed to hear rn... watched INJ bleed out with everything else but yeah, the on-chain flow data doesn't lie. memes always crash first when liquidity cascade kicks in, infrastructure holders just sit there collecting dust till next bull wave hits different. makes sense.

Infrastructure is the real deal; the MEME game should have faded out long ago. INJ's shift in positioning this time is definitely worth paying attention to.

Alright, alright, talking about INJ being a foundational asset again... But this time there's actually something to it. The Volan upgrade really changed the game. If RWA can actually attract traditional finance capital this time, that's what you call real vision.

It’s the same rhetoric every cycle. The real question is, when the big money actually enters the market, how much will the small retail investors be able to get?

It's that same old "foundational asset" argument again—I've heard it so many times my ears are getting calloused. But I have to say, the perspective on INJ this time is indeed quite different. The system vs. public chain angle is actually pretty refreshing.
