The momentum in AI and RWA sectors is undeniable right now.

My portfolio is heavily weighted toward AI infrastructure tokens.

RWA tokenization feels like the next massive growth area.

The institutional money flowing into RWAs is a game-changer.

Layer 2s are set to explode with these fee reductions.

DePIN with real-world use cases is my biggest conviction.
