🧭 The biggest risk in crypto right now isn’t volatility it’s narrative overlap.
AI tokens often look diversified on the surface, but under the hood they’re driven by the same assumptions: future demand, promised utility, and adoption curves that haven’t been stress-tested yet. When expectations shift, that similarity turns into correlation risk.
We’ve already seen how quickly momentum sectors can unwind. Assets like $FET didn’t fall in isolation liquidity exited the theme. Spreads widened, volume dried up, and what looked like multiple bets revealed itself as one crowded trade.
Execution layers operate differently. They’re not priced on belief in a future breakthrough, but on present behavior. When capital rotates out of AI, it still needs to move, rebalance, or de-risk. That’s where infrastructure like STONfi captures value not by predicting narratives, but by facilitating transitions between them.
This distinction matters in uncertain markets. Protocols tied to stories rise and fall with sentiment. Protocols tied to flow remain relevant regardless of direction.
Real diversification isn’t owning more narratives.
It’s owning exposure to activity itself.
