1. Market Environment
Last week, the SEC shifted its stance on spot Ethereum ETFs and approved the crucial 19B-4 forms. The ETH/BTC exchange rate climbed to 0.057, its highest point in the past 70 days. Spot BTC ETFs have also experienced 10 days of net inflows.
Over the weekend, leading memecoins and blue-chip projects that performed well in the previous bull market showed strong performance. Significant buying by large investors boosted the price of PEPE to a new high, while ENS, LDO, and UNI rose 70%, 50%, and 43% respectively over the past seven days. The strong performance of ETH could passively increase the value of altcoins priced in ETH on the chain. As trader enthusiasm surges, an altcoin season could start amid ETH's ongoing rise.
2. Wealth Creation Sectors
2.1 Sector Movements – Blue-Chip Projects in the ETH Ecosystem
Primary reasons:
The SEC’s approval of the spot Ethereum ETF key forms and the continuous rise in ETH have significantly boosted prominent tokens from the previous bull market within the ETH ecosystem. High market cap memecoins like PEPE and TURBO on the ETH chain have surged to new highs with significant whale purchases of blue-chip DeFi tokens like LDO, UNI, and AAVE.
Gainers:
-
PEPE and TURBO have increased by 78% and 320% respectively over the past seven days.
-
ENS, LDO, and UNI have increased by 70%, 50%, and 43% respectively over the same period.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
-
It is likely that the spot Ethereum ETF will be approved and begin trading within a few weeks to a few months. Until then and following the approval, the ETH/BTC exchange rate may continue to rise. ETH is expected to break a new high in the coming months, which will significantly boost the market cap of altcoins. As traders on the Ethereum chain increase their leverage and trading activities, blue-chip projects, especially those with actual earnings in the DeFi sector, are expected to continue rising and kick off an altcoin season.
2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next — Fan Token Sector
Primary reasons:
-
Major sporting events are approaching with the UEFA European Championship starting on June 14, the Copa America on June 21, and the Olympics on July 26.
-
Notable movements in fan tokens: For instance, the GAL/TRY trading pair experienced a significant rise followed by a sharp decline. On the Turkish exchange Paribu, its 24-hour trading volume reached $53 million, ranking it first, surpassing the trading volumes of BTC, PEPE, and other tokens.
-
Binance is set to release Cristiano Ronaldo's latest NFT collection on May 29, with promotions planned around this date.
-
The Dragon8 hard fork on Chiliz Chain has been delayed, but completion is expected soon.
