# Cross Market Research

One of Sorin's most powerful capabilities is turning fragmented market data into a single, coherent picture of any asset, protocol, or theme. Just ask — Sorin pulls together data from across the market and presents it as a clear, structured summary.

## What You Can Ask

| You Say                                                   | What You Get                                                                         |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| "Tell me about ETH right now."                            | Full overview — price, market structure, flows, narratives, derivatives positioning. |
| "Is this protocol healthy?"                               | Fees, revenue, TVL trends, capital flows, governance status.                         |
| "Compare SOL and ETH at the current setup."               | Side-by-side comparison grounded in current market structure.                        |
| "What's the history of this kind of setup?"               | Historical context — how similar conditions have played out before.                  |
| "What's the cross-chain story for stablecoins this week?" | Multi-chain synthesis across venues and bridges.                                     |

## What's Included in a Research Summary

When you ask Sorin to research a token, protocol, or theme, it synthesizes data across several dimensions:

### On-Chain Data

* Wallet flows and smart money activity
* DEX and CEX volume, including imbalances
* Token-holder concentration and behavior
* Network activity and usage metrics

### Protocol Fundamentals

* Fees, revenue, and capital flows
* TVL trends — directional, not just absolute
* Governance activity and upcoming changes
* Security and audit status

### Market Structure

* Spot liquidity and depth
* Derivatives positioning — funding, open interest, basis
* Options flow and skew
* Perps vs. spot divergences

### Historical Context

* Comparable setups from prior cycles
* How analogous conditions have resolved before
* Seasonality and regime indicators

### Multi-Chain Coverage

Sorin reasons across chains, not just within a single ecosystem. When a token or theme lives on multiple chains, Sorin integrates the full picture — bridges, fragmented liquidity, and cross-chain flows.

## Example Conversation

> **You:** "Give me a full research brief on Ethena (ENA)."
>
> **Sorin:** "Here's what I'm seeing on Ethena:
>
> **Protocol fundamentals:** USDe supply has grown \~18% over the past 30 days; fee revenue is tracking with supply growth. Insurance fund has expanded proportionally.
>
> **Market structure:** ENA spot is trading with a slight discount to perps; funding has been positive but unremarkable. Open interest is up alongside price.
>
> **On-chain:** Top wallets have been net accumulators over the past two weeks. No unusual holder concentration changes.
>
> **Narrative:** Conversation has shifted from 'delta-neutral stablecoin' to 'yield-bearing collateral' as more DeFi integrations go live.
>
> **Risk to flag:** USDe yield depends on perps funding. If market-wide funding compresses, so does the yield — worth tracking.
>
> Given your current portfolio, ENA would increase your exposure to perps-funding-dependent yield. Want me to size a position that keeps that exposure under 15%?"

## Why This Is Different

Most research tools show you data. Sorin builds you a **read**.

* **Structured, not scrollable** — Sorin's output is organized for decision-making, not endless scrolling.
* **Cross-referenced** — multiple sources are reconciled into a single view.
* **Personalized** — framed in terms of your portfolio, goals, and risk.
* **Actionable** — ends with what you can do, not just what's happening.

## Asking Better Questions

* **Be specific about timeframe.** "How has BTC behaved in the last 48 hours?" is better than "BTC."
* **Ask for comparisons.** Sorin handles "X vs Y" setups well and will highlight what's structurally different.
* **Follow up.** Research is iterative. After an initial brief, ask "what are the risks?" or "what's the bear case?"
* **Anchor to your portfolio.** "Does this change my thesis on my existing ETH position?" gets a portfolio-aware answer.
