A Glimpse Into the Future of Finance 🐱 If you've been around Wisemen these last 5 months, you've heard us talking about reflection tokens. A meme coin, more often than not a cat, gets paired with a Layer 1 or a real stock, and holders get paid in that asset off the trading volume. We believe this meme world is going to be how regular people end up owning massive amounts of real world assets. We also believe a lot of the cat coins you see today could reach billions in market cap, and we're early. The first mover was @injective. They're the first company to see the vision we've been talking about, and the first to truly invest in it. Before getting into what they did, it helps to know who they are. Eric Chen and Albert Chon founded Injective in 2018, and it came out of Binance Labs' first incubation program. Pantera Capital, Jump Crypto and Mark Cuban backed it early. It's a Layer 1 built for finance, $INJ trades around $9 today for a market cap of roughly 905M, and Canary Capital has filed for a staked INJ ETF. This is serious money, and it's not who you'd expect to show up in the trenches. Then Injective walked into the trenches and bought 10% of @NinjaCatSF. NinjaCat is a cat coin on Solana, launched through @LaunchOnSF, that pays its holders in $INJ. The two sides didn't know each other before this. They met multiple times, and the Injective Foundation decided to go for it. In a Spaces after the buy, Injective reportedly said they're holding the bag and they're not done buying. A move like this creates two kinds of pressure. The first is buy pressure. Each time the cat trades, fees get turned into $INJ and paid out to holders, and that conversion is a market buy. More volume on the cat means more $INJ pulled off the open market, and Injective now owns 10% of the machine doing the buying. The second is memetic pressure, and it might be the bigger one. We've spent the last week learning about Injective, who's behind it and what it does. That's what these memes do. A normal company pays for attention with ads. A cat paying its holders in your token gets thousands of people studying your company for free, and they're holding your asset while they do it. Community is the missing piece in crypto right now, and most of it got replaced by bundles. From what we've seen so far, the strongest communities are forming around coins that pay reflections. Holders have a reason to stay and a reason to learn the asset underneath. That's only going to get stronger, and the companies that see it first get to put that buy pressure on their asset before anybody else. Mark Cuban backed Injective early, and he's never been scared to get his feet wet with something new. He could potentially be advising them on moves like this. Finance cats are new right now, but soon they won't be, and the companies that wait will be late to the party. Injective made the first move on the chessboard. Most of these L1s are going to adopt a cat, and Injective went first. We think Starknet is the natural next chapter. The cat has been Starknet's mascot since 2023, and $SCAT (@StarknetCatSol) already pays its holders in $STRK, so the connection is already there. The next step would be Starknet embracing the cat publicly, and maybe one day giving $SCAT a spot on its balance sheet. We'd love to see it, and we'll be here helping to build the community either way.
