$STRATOS Subscription Analysis: @virtuals_io has 8 hours left for the new subscription
First, let's discuss the positive points
- Ithaca Protocol's "Re-Entrepreneurship" Project
According to DeFiLlama data, the composable options protocol Ithaca Protocol currently has a TVL of $2.17 million, ranking eighth in the options sector.
The development timeline of Ithaca Protocol is as follows:
January 2024: Ithaca completes a $2.5 million Pre-Seed round led by Cumberland and Wintermute Ventures. Georgios Vlachos (co-founder of Axelar) joins this round as an angel investor. In terms of business, Axelar provides cross-chain interoperability support and collaborates deeply with Ithaca.
December 2024: The $ITHACA token will be listed on exchanges such as KuCoin and Gate.
- Team led by former Chief Strategy Officer of Amber Group
Background of the Ithaca Protocol team:
Founder @Dimitrios160174: Former Chief Strategy Officer of Amber Group and Chief Investment Officer of Harmony Advisors.
CTO @nhaga: Former regional head of Amber Group and Chainlink development expert.
Negative points
- $ITHACA Price Trend
The price trend of $ITHACA after TGE is not optimistic (see Figure 1), especially after February 2025, where it has almost only seen declines.
- Homogenization Issue of STRATOS
$STRATOS is positioned as an AI portfolio manager based on Ithaca's options infrastructure, with the following operational steps:
Users deposit funds;
Funds are allocated to multiple options trading AI agents (Stratos Swarm);
Agents execute 24/7 options trading based on the Black-Litterman model;
Users earn returns through agent performance.
Although the concept of "an AI hedge fund in your pocket" is attractive, the market has seen the emergence of several similarly positioned AI-driven DeFi protocols, and $STRATOS faces the following challenges:
Lack of first-mover advantage: The sector has already been occupied in users' minds by early projects.
Insufficient technical differentiation: The AI strategies of $STRATOS (such as volatility premium capture) rely on rule-based approaches, making it difficult to form significant competitive barriers.
Insufficient market validation: The token is launched before the product, and the product has not been fully validated by the market.
- Token Economics
Airdrop dilution: 30% of the supply will be airdropped to $ITHACA stakers at a 1:1 ratio.
Angel investor unlock: 3% of the tokens will begin linear release on July 16, 2025, which may trigger short-term selling pressure.
My action: Before the arrival of $ROOM, I will allocate 20% of my points to participate in the $STRATOS subscription. But don't have too high expectations.
