The audience favors Sonic as the more likely candidate to double first. In the Sonic versus Rune and Mantra comparison, Sonic is again favored, although Rune has shown improvement after restructuring, and Mantra has experienced impressive price growth.
Next, gaming tokens Super and Ronin are compared. Super is seen as hype-driven, while Ronin, linked to Axie Infinity, focuses on user engagement. Rand believes Ronin has stronger fundamentals but agrees with the audience that Super will likely double first.
