đź’Ą The DeFi Index Points for Bull Reversal
Let’s Dive Into It!
Happy Monday dear subscribers!
In today’s bulletin, we are covering:
- Surfing the Market, with analysis about DeFi Index and SOL
- AIDA is under the spotlight.
- A short article about Jim Simons, Mathematician on Wall Street
Market is waking up green on Monday for a change after a nice bounce during last days. First good steps, but not out of the woods yet. Taking a look into the DeFi Index we can see how the key $70 range come to the rescue once again. Bouncing nicely and trying to breach the local downtrend:
Meanwhile SOL keeps knocking the door, pushing for the bullish reversal over the major downtrend resistance:
AIDA Project Research
The Origins:
AIDA is an AI-powered decentralized platform designed to simplify token creation, trading, and management across multiple blockchains. By integrating artificial intelligence, AIDA enhances automation, security, and efficiency in decentralized finance (DeFi).
The Operative:
AIDA streamlines the token economy through AI-driven automation and a comprehensive suite of tools:
- AI-Assisted Token Creation: Users can launch tokens effortlessly by selecting a blockchain, inputting key details, and allowing AIDA to handle the deployment.
- Multi-Chain Trading Hub: AIDA aggregates decentralized exchanges (DEXs), enabling seamless trading across networks with optimized routing.
- Secure Non-Custodial Wallet: A built-in wallet protects assets and integrates AI-driven security features.
- Bonding Curve Liquidity Mechanism: AIDA gradually unlocks liquidity for newly launched tokens, ensuring a smooth market entry.
- AI-Powered Market Intelligence: Real-time analytics track AI-generated tokens and market trends, helping users make data-driven trading decisions.
Summary & Competitors:
The project is expected to ha a token $AIDA but there is no disclosed details about TGE or tokenomics yet. It’s expected to have relevance for DAO governance, lower trading costs and have exclusive launching perks for holders.
Competitors for AIDA operates in the growing AI x DeFi sector, competing with projects such as HyperLiquid, Mantra, Jupiter, Dexe, Drift or Arkham, which also explore AI-driven blockchain applications.
AI-driven automation continues to reshape DeFi, making tokenization, trading, and asset management more accessible, secure, and efficient.
Jim Simons: The Mathematician Who Beat Wall Street
Whenever someone claims that nobody can truly beat the market, tell them that Jim Simons did — and for many years. Join me as I share the story of the algorithm genius who created the most successful investment fund in history.
Origins
Jim Simons (1938) arrived on Wall Street almost by accident. With a background in mathematics, he was a renowned academic, making significant contributions to differential geometry and string theory — fields that had nothing to do with stock prices or drawdowns.
He also worked as a codebreaker during the Cold War for the NSA and taught at MIT and Harvard. His research even contributed to quantum computing. Although he was successful in all these fields, they didn’t fully satisfy him. One of his famous quotes was: “Some people like to paint, others like to cook. I like to make money.” And there was no better place to make money than Wall Street.
Landing on Wall Street
Around the age of 40, he left his academy career to create a hedge fund. Simons had no financial experience or Wall Street background. His weapon was mathematics. His years as a codebreaker for the NSA gave him the expertise to detect patterns.
He believed that the market must also have patterns, and if he could identify them, he could make money. In 1978, he founded Renaissance Technologies, where he began applying mathematical models and data analysis to trading.
It’s important to note that no one else on Wall Street was doing anything similar at the time, making him a true pioneer. At first, his strategy didn’t yield great results — he lost money. However, he remained convinced that a pattern must exist and continued refining his models. As he continuously said: “ There has to be a pattern.”
Medallion Fund
In 1988, after years of trial and error, Medallion was born — the most successful hedge fund of all time. His formula was revolutionary:
- He hired mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists instead of traders
- He collected stock price data dating back to the 1800s
- He built mathematical models to predict short-term price movements
The results were unprecedented. From 1988 to 2018, the fund achieved an average annual return of 66% after fees. Yes, an average 66% per year after fees! INSANE! To put this into perspective: $100 invested in 1988 grew to $400 million by 2018.
Not even Warren Buffett, George Soros, or Ray Dalio came close to these returns. But Medallion became too successful, and in order to maintain its high returns, Simons had to close the fund to outside investors. Today, only Renaissance employees can invest in the fund.
How Did He Do It?
Unlike traditional investors, who relied on intuition, news, and earnings reports, Renaissance Technologies:
- Traded short-term price movements instead of long-term bets
- Made millions of trades per year instead of a few big ones
- Used data, algorithms, and machine learning instead of human intuition
Their philosophy was simple and clear: “If you trade a lot, you only need to be right 51% of the time.” Medallion focused on small, consistent wins that compounded over time. They didn’t need to understand why a stock moved. They only needed to know that certain patterns repeated — and to bet on them.
To this day, no one outside Renaissance knows exactly how their algorithms work. Employees are bound by strict non-disclosure agreements. Other hedge funds have spent decades trying to reverse-engineer their success, but no one has cracked the code (as strong as the BTC code). Simons didn’t just beat Wall Street — he changed it!
- Proved that data beats human intuition
- Made quantitative trading the gold standard
- Pioneered AI and machine learning in finance
“I wasn’t the best mathematician. I wasn’t the best investor. But I was good enough in both, and it worked.”
