Why We Invest in RAY Token (Raydium) and Why You Might Consider It Too


| Investment ideas | 7 reads

In the world of crypto investments, diversification and strategy are essential, even for smaller holdings. At TerraMatris Crypto Hedge Fund, one of our smallest yet significant positions is in the RAY token, the native cryptocurrency of Raydium, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform on the Solana blockchain. Despite its relatively modest size in our portfolio, our investment in RAY goes beyond simple speculation—it's deeply intertwined with our TerraM token and liquidity strategies.

The Role of Raydium in TerraMatris

One key reason we hold RAY is because of Raydium's liquidity market, which powers the TerraM token’s liquidity pool. Liquidity pools are the backbone of decentralized exchanges (DEXs), allowing for smooth trading without traditional order books. By using Raydium's platform to provide liquidity for TerraM, we ensure that our native token is easily tradable for others, thus improving its overall market position.

Since we are motivated to maintain TerraM liquidity on Raydium, holding and accumulating RAY tokens fits naturally into our strategy. It aligns our interests with the performance of Raydium, giving us additional exposure to its growth while supporting our own token ecosystem.

RAY Token Staking Benefits

Another significant incentive for holding RAY is its staking potential. As of now, staking RAY yields a little more than 5% annually, which is an attractive return in the current DeFi landscape. While it's not the highest staking reward in the market, it provides a relatively stable yield, especially when combined with the utility and role RAY plays in supporting our liquidity strategy.

A Glimpse at RAY's Price History and Future Potential

Like many tokens in the DeFi space, RAY had its all-time high of around $16 during the 2021 bull market. Since then, the price has retraced considerably, providing what we believe is a good entry point for long-term accumulation. With our commitment to using Raydium’s liquidity pool for TerraM token, we intend to hold and accumulate RAY for as long as TerraM stays on Raydium’s platform.

The smaller size of RAY in our portfolio doesn't make it any less strategic. In fact, its role in ensuring the liquidity of our TerraM token and its attractive staking rewards make it a key component of our long-term plan.

Should You Consider Investing in RAY or TerraM?

If you're interested in DeFi platforms, staking rewards, and decentralized liquidity markets, RAY token could be a strong candidate for your portfolio. With its proven utility in the Solana ecosystem and its connection to our own TerraM token liquidity pool, there’s a lot to be excited about.

As for TerraM token itself, it continues to be at the heart of our fund’s operations, and the combination of holding both RAY and TerraM creates an interesting synergy. The decision to invest ultimately depends on your risk tolerance and interest in decentralized finance.
