Space Recap | Market Volatility and Changing Narratives: How Can Ordinary Users Find the Most Stable Positioning Strategy?

The current crypto market not only faces continuous price volatility but also frequent narrative shifts. From AI to RWA, from DePIN to Meme, each new narrative brings both opportunities and noise. Ordinary users often find themselves at the end of the information flow, witnessing market fluctuations and concept rotations, yet struggling to "get on the surfboard" before the real wave arrives.

Against this backdrop, SunPump recently hosted a SunFlash roundtable discussion centered on a core issue: When markets are volatile and narratives are rapidly evolving, how can ordinary users avoid blindly following trends and find truly stable positioning? During this discussion, a key idea gradually became clear: instead of chasing every fleeting market trend, it's better to return to the essence and focus on infrastructure with sustainable ecosystem momentum and real-world application scenarios. For example, public chain ecosystems like TRON, which support important sectors such as stablecoins, DeFi, AI, Memes, and cross-border payments with efficient, low-cost, and robust infrastructure, are becoming an increasingly popular choice for users to build stable portfolios during uncertain periods.

This discussion delves into various aspects, from narrative prediction and strategy execution to asset allocation, attempting to build a practical and sustainable participation framework for users in the rapidly changing crypto world.

With narratives moving faster and faster, is it still possible for ordinary users to "get a head start"?

With the narrative accelerating, is it still possible for ordinary people to "position themselves in advance"? The guests offered diverse yet insightful answers to this core question, explaining how each investor, with varying risk appetites and resource endowments, can find a suitable "positioning" strategy.

First, guest speaker Davin.eth held a relatively conservative view, believing that ordinary users no longer need to be obsessed with "getting a head start." He pointed out that leading players, quantitative institutions, and venture capitalists have an absolute advantage in information, resources, and speed, making it difficult for ordinary users to buy at the bottom. Therefore, he prefers to advise investors to remain patient and observe, and after a market trend has initially formed, to analyze fund flows and fundamentals to screen for stocks that can withstand market tests and maintain a strong momentum after the initial narrative.

Guest speaker 0x, a seasoned expert, held a more optimistic view. He believed the opportunities remained clear, and the key lay in the approach. The disadvantage for ordinary users wasn't speed, but rather "not knowing what they're stuck in." His proposed solution was to abandon blindly chasing every trend and instead cultivate one's most familiar area, building a cognitive advantage in one's area of expertise. "Positioning isn't about speed, it's about understanding," he summarized. "As long as you understand, you'll always be half a step ahead of the market."

Davin.eth offered a practical supplement from the perspective of capital size. He believes that a prudent position management strategy is more suitable for investors with existing capital. For large funds, he believes there are not many high-certainty options, mainly Bitcoin and a few investment opportunities, such as obtaining a stable annualized return by staking USDD stablecoins. These methods have controllable risks and are the preferred choice for conservative allocation . As for other cryptocurrencies such as trending coins and Dogecoins, he believes that they should only be participated in with small positions to achieve "high returns with low investment" without affecting the overall asset portfolio.

How can ordinary users build a sound asset allocation in a volatile market?

When the discussion moved to the specific strategy level, the guests gave comprehensive advice on asset allocation, position management, and mindset adjustment.

Guest speaker Qiwen proposed a strategy of "logical layout and controllable risk" : First, filter out noise and focus on core value narratives supported by real technology and demand, such as AI+Web3, RWA, and L2; Second, adopt a small position trial and error approach and gradually increase the position, using 10%-20% of idle funds to invest in well-researched leading projects, and then increase the position in batches after the narrative is implemented and the data is verified.

When constructing a specific asset allocation framework, the guest speaker, with dark circles under his eyes, emphasized the crucial role of a three-tiered pyramid-style asset structure—"core-trend-flexibility" —in a volatile market.

Core holdings: These are allocated to leading infrastructure projects with long-term certainty, such as TRON, stablecoins, or protocols that generate real revenue. The characteristic of these assets is that "if prices rise, it's a gain; if prices fall, you can buy more," effectively stabilizing investor sentiment and the core asset portfolio.

Trend trading : This is used to participate in trending sectors such as AI, RWA, and L2, which are supported by real demand. He suggests adopting a "participate but don't get addicted" approach and setting clear stop-loss lines (such as exiting when the price drops by 20%) to control risk.

Flexible account : used for short-term trading or early-stage project exploration. He specifically pointed out that the purpose of this part is not to get rich quick, but to maintain sensitivity to the market, keeping losses within an acceptable range and treating profits as a pleasant surprise.

LongTian emphasized the importance of "adhering to principles." She believes that regardless of how hot topics rotate, the underlying logic of the market remains unchanged; those assets with solid ecosystems and genuine value are always the ones that deliver long-term returns. She advised users to firmly hold onto core value positions, such as those in mature ecosystems and robust data infrastructure like TRON, and not to be swayed by market fluctuations. At the same time, she stressed the importance of strictly adhering to position discipline, investing the majority of funds in solid assets.

Faced with dazzling narrative shifts, the guests' core strategies all pointed to the "core + satellite" asset allocation philosophy: anchoring the core of assets firmly to an underlying network that can withstand the test of time and continuously generate real value and cash flow, thereby building the "ballast" of wealth; at the same time, using a small portion of funds as "satellites" to flexibly but disciplinedly explore new narratives, so as not to miss opportunities at the forefront of the market while controlling risks.

When allocating assets, choosing leading infrastructures with long-term certainty, such as the TRON ecosystem, is crucial . This ecosystem offers users a variety of asset appreciation pathways through diversified protocols, allowing them to maintain stable core positions while implementing different levels of value-added strategies based on their risk appetite, achieving sustainable returns while keeping overall risk under control.

Regarding stablecoin yields, users can earn approximately 12% annualized return by staking USDD, or a steady 4.16% return by storing USDT on the JustLend DAO platform. These methods are simple to operate, have manageable risks, and can serve as a ballast for asset allocation. For deep participants in the TRON ecosystem, staking TRX can also bring approximately 7% annualized return, while participating in liquidity mining on the SunSwap decentralized exchange, providing liquidity for the mainstream TRX/USDD trading pair, can yield even higher returns. Furthermore, the TRON ecosystem also includes decentralized perpetual contract platforms like SunX, providing users seeking advanced strategies with professional tools for risk hedging and leveraged returns.

In summary, in the rapidly changing market, ordinary investors should focus on building their own sound investment system rather than chasing every fleeting narrative. As the core of this roundtable discussion suggests: true "positioning" lies not in predicting the rise and fall of every hot trend, but in establishing an asset allocation framework and investment discipline that can weather cycles and withstand risks.
