Assume @aeroxyz achieved ONLY a 10% share of Ethereum and Robinhood activity;
At today’s activity level, 10% of Ethereum + 10% of Robinhood Chain ≈ $117B annual Aero volume → roughly $110M incremental annual holder revenue using Aerodrome’s recent fee/revenue economics.

Crypto spot volumes look to be at, or near, a cyclical low so we think its an opportune time to research quality DEX tokens. This is a summary of our latest research piece on Aerodrome sent to LPs earlier this month. Note DACM funds own AERO.

Imagine a chef employed at a restaurant that charges $100 for a hamburger.
One day he gets sick of his institution ripping off customers, so he goes across the street and opens a shop with $5 hamburgers.
Now the hamburger loving people are better off. Competition drives down prices and increases quality.
The original restaurant, angry over the lost business, gets a law passed that bans chefs from owning restaurants.
Everyone would recognize this as a corrupt, protectionist law.
And yet, in healthcare, with skyrocketing costs, we still outlaw physician owned hospitals.
ICYMI: Congress put a spotlight on physician-owned hospitals today.
During a House Judiciary Committee field hearing on competition in health care, Brian Miller, MD, MBA, MPH, highlighted the federal restrictions that prevent new POHs from participating in Medicare and existing facilities from expanding.
His testimony cited 30 years of research showing that POHs can deliver higher-quality care, and called on policymakers to reconsider federal policies that restrict physician-led competition. 👏
The AANS and CNS have long advocated for removing these barriers and expanding opportunities for POHs.

The future of ArcBlock is ARC + Block*.
Block * = Blocklets, Blockchain… and more to come.
ARC will supersede Blocklet Server.
As the next step, we’ll open-source a fully documented and cleaned-up version of Blocklet Server — so developers can continue to use it if they choose.
Going forward, all new development will move to ARC, while the Blocklet architecture remains.
ARC + Blocklets → ArcBlock.

Ok, looks like some non doctors got triggered. Let’s try this another way?
Neurosurgeon: $251 an hour
Master Electrician: $170-300 an hour
Senior software: $150-300 an hour
Consultants: $200-2000 an hour
Attorney: $400-2000 an hour
Master plumber: $250-300 an hour
Better?

All the talk about doctor compensation but no real analysis adjusting for hours worked. Here’s the real picture.
Here’s a crazy stat: 1/3rd making less than 300k annual, and this is using the upper limit salary range. Neurosurgeons are making $483k a year.

A lawyer can own a law firm. A chef can own a restaurant. Apparently anybody in Los Angeles can own a hospice facility.
Yet doctors can’t own hospitals.
This is pure protectionism.
When @RepMGriffith asked insurance executives earlier this year if they opposed lifting the ban on physician-led hospitals, not a single hand went up.
This week, he asked physicians and hospital leaders the same question. Only ONE hand was raised — the CEO of the American Hospital Association.
‼️Let that sink in.
Communities in healthcare deserts are being denied care — not because physicians can’t help, but because special interest doesn’t want them to lead.
The same physicians trusted to treat patients every day are blocked from owning and operating hospitals — while large systems consolidate power, drive up costs and limit options.
Since the ban took effect in 2010:
• Hospital consolidation has increased.
• Prices have risen.
• Patient outcomes have declined.
✅ This policy hasn’t worked. It’s protected special interests — not patients.
✅ Physicians should be empowered, not controlled.
When physicians lead, patients succeed.
✅ It’s time for Congress to change course
✅ Time is up on the arbitrary ban on physician-led hospitals.
