1. Market Overview

In the last 24 hours, BTC briefly fell to $58,000, and ETH dropped below $2,400. After a recent rebound, BTC saw a sharp decline, and ETH’s on-chain gas fees fell to 1 gwei, indicating an extreme lack of market activity. The amount of Bitcoin held on exchanges has now dropped to its lowest level since November 2018. In the short term, the market may experience a significant upward trend after this second bottom, with a positive long-term outlook.

On a macro level, the U.S. Ethereum spot ETF saw a net outflow of $3.44 million yesterday, and the spot Bitcoin ETF had a net outflow of $127 million. The minutes from the FOMC meeting and Powell’s dovish stance helped boost Bitcoin’s price, and a short squeeze might push it higher. After the current rebound, a further bottoming could prepare the market for the next major upward wave. Additionally, Nasdaq is seeking SEC approval to launch Bitcoin index options, indicating a clear influx of traditional funds into the crypto market. This is expected to improve liquidity in the crypto market, potentially triggering a wave of altcoin activity. It is advisable to monitor the recent performance of altcoins.

2. Wealth-Building Sectors

1) Sector Movements: SOL Meme Tokens (WIF, BONK, POPCAT)

• Reasons: The price of SOL has remained relatively stable, holding above the $17 mark. Recently, DEX trading volume on the Solana network reached a new high, with active funds driving up the prices of ecosystem projects.
• Recent Gains: POPCAT has risen by 62.5% over the past seven days.
• Factors Influencing Future Market:
• SOL Token Performance: In the Solana ecosystem, the performance of the SOL token affects the price of many ecosystem tokens, as many DEX pairs are priced in SOL. If SOL continues to rise, it may be wise to hold onto SOL ecosystem assets.
• Leading Meme Tokens: The core Meme tokens in the Solana ecosystem, previously listed on Robinhood, tend to rise faster than SOL itself. Recently, the trading volume of these tokens has increased, suggesting that there may be opportunities for investment.

2) Key Sectors to Watch: RWA Sector (ONDO, Pendle)

• Reasons: The RWA sector continues to be one of the most watched and potentially high-growth areas in the cryptocurrency industry. ONDO and Pendle dominate the tokenized government bond and crypto asset interest rate swap markets, respectively. The asset ceiling for these sectors is extremely high, and as the asset volume in these protocols grows, so will the protocol revenue, making them especially important during market rebounds.
• Factors Influencing Future Market:
• Total Asset Size of Protocols: The cash flow generated by these protocols largely depends on their asset size. As the asset size increases, the revenue generated by the protocols will also increase, which is expected to positively impact token prices.
• Policy Impact: As the cryptocurrency industry gradually gains legislative support and social acceptance, favorable policies will likely drive up the prices of tokens in this sector. With more asset management giants entering the field, the RWA sector is expected to experience steady growth.
