Alright, let's talk about what's happening on Linea this quarter, because this is the alpha you've been looking for.
They're rolling out "Native Yield" in Q4, and it's a game-changer for anyone sitting on ETH.
Here’s the deal:
you bridge your ETH over to Linea, and it's no longer just "idle capital." That ETH automatically starts earning native staking yield (the same as if you staked it on the mainnet).
But here's the best part—that yield gets funneled directly to the DeFi apps and liquidity pools on Linea.
This means LPs are about to get a serious boost.
We're talking real, sustainable APYs, not just inflationary farm tokens.
This is all happening while the network is already showing serious signs of life.
We've seen it hit huge peaks in activity (like over 300K daily active users in the past), and it's shown it can handle a serious load.
Plus, don't forget MetaMask is throwing gas on the fire with their $30 million rewards program in $LINEA tokens.
That's a massive incentive to get people swapping and trading.
So, what's the trade?
* Native Yield pulls in "sticky" ETH liquidity that wants to earn.
* MetaMask rewards drive a ton of new users and transactions.
This combination is a perfect storm for locking up liquidity and spiking real demand for the network.
This is the kind of catalyst that makes a token move.
I'm definitely looking to load up on $LINEA before these new native yields go fully live.
This is how you position for the next leg up.
