1. Market Environment

Over the past 24 hours, BTC briefly dropped to $58,000, and ETH fell below $2400. BTC ended its rebound with a significant drop yesterday, and ETH gas fees fell to 1 gwei, highlighting a lack of market hotspots. The amount of Bitcoin on exchanges has reached its lowest level since November 2018. In the short term, after a second bottom test, the market may enter a primary upward trend, with a bullish long-term outlook still in place.

From a macro perspective, yesterday saw a net outflow of $3.44 million from the U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs and a net outflow of $127 million from spot Bitcoin ETFs. The FOMC meeting minutes and Powell’s dovish stance contributed to Bitcoin's recent rise, with short squeezes potentially pushing prices higher. Following the rebound, another bottom test seems likely, setting the stage for the next major upward trend. Meanwhile, Nasdaq is seeking SEC approval to launch Bitcoin index options, signaling growing traditional financial interest. The crypto market is expected to see improved liquidity, potentially sparking an altcoin rally. It is recommended to monitor the recent trends in altcoins.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – Solana Memecoins (WIF, BONK, and POPCAT)

Primary reason: The price of SOL has stabilized, firmly holding above the $147 mark. Recent record highs in trading volume on Solana's DEXes indicate active capital, which has spurred the rise of ecosystem projects.

Gainers: POPCAT has increased by 62.5% over the past seven days.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

SOL trend: The price of SOL influences the prices of Solana ecosystem tokens, as many trading pairs on DEXs are priced in SOL. Monitor SOL's price trend closely. If SOL continues to rise, holding SOL ecosystem assets may be advisable.
Performance of leading memecoins: Memecoins within the Solana ecosystem, especially those listed on Robinhood, often see faster increases when the SOL token appreciates. Recently, core memecoins on Solana have experienced an increase in trading volume and high demand, suggesting potential for strategic investment in these tokens.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next – RWA (ONDO and Pendle)

Primary reasons:

The RWA sector continues to draw significant attention within the cryptocurrency industry and is viewed as having substantial potential for market growth. ONDO and PENDLE dominate the RWA sectors for government bonds tokenization and crypto asset interest rate swaps, respectively. These segments have a high asset ceiling, and as such, the revenue generated by these protocols increases with the growth in asset volume. Investors should pay special attention to these sectors during each market rebound.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

Total protocol asset size: The cash flow generated by such protocols primarily depends on the asset size they manage. As the asset size within these protocols gradually increases, the revenue produced will also rise, leading to strong performance in their respective token prices.
Policy impact: As the cryptocurrency industry gradually gains legislative approval and societal acceptance, favorable policies for this sector will also become a major factor driving the rise in token prices. With more asset management giants entering this field, the continued development of this sector is expected to advance steadily.
