The memory of CORE's $2.6 is ultimately an illusion of expectation, not the price of leverage. Were the 30x and 40x leverage in April 2024 reckless behavior just recklessness then, or a lingering lingering mindset? The trading records from April 2024, when CORE was trading at around $2.6, are not mere traces of losses but a snapshot of what expectations market participants were projecting into the price. At that time, leverage positions ranging from 30 to 40 times reflected excessive confidence in direction rather than spot prices in the price. The problem is that the same expectations persisted even after the losses. To recover losses in the spot market, they shifted to futures, but this is not a strategic change but rather a repetition of the same expectation through different means. In other words, despite the evidence that the belief that prices would rise was a loss, it was not repriced. From a market structure perspective, this story shows not only the psychology of individual investors but also the link between liquidity and position behavior. Leverage positions are priceHave you ever done this arithmetic: your coins haven’t decreased by a single unit, yet your share may already have been halved? This is not alarmism. In many protocols, the “yield” you collect each day is not money the protocol earned but tokens the contract has newly printed. The number in your position rises, your account looks lively, and yet the whole pot is being watered down — the proportion you own shrinks day by day, without your noticing. This is the most concealed form of loss in the cUS stocks hit new highs, crypto hit new lows—who understands?
Last night, the three major US stock indices all closed higher, with the S&P 500 hitting a new record close, and the VIX Fear Index hitting an intraday low of 14.39, the lowest this year—how relaxed is the market? It's the kind of relaxation that "doesn't feel any risk."
The Nasdaq 100 even climbed back above 30,000 points for the first time in a month and a half. The storage sector went wild: SanDisk +13%, Western Digital and SK Hynix +7%, Micron +4%, and AI computing power shovel sellers rebounded. Tesla +3%, Meta +2%.
In contrast, in our crypto world, BTC fell below 63,000, and the market was in turmoil.
As risk assets, while hitting historical highs and breaking through thresholds, funds are casting their votes with their feet. Traditional funds now prefer to chase storage and AI stocks in US stocks rather than tackle crypto assets with uncertain regulations.
My view: it's not that crypto is losing its chance, but that "certainty" is now more valuable than anything else. US stocks have AI narratives and expectations of interest rate cuts, while crypto is waiting for bills and rules, and funds will naturally flow out during the wait. When will crypto be given some certainty, funds will return.$SPCX is currently trading near $141, with a long-short ratio close to 50:50. The combined Starship launch catalyst and unlocking pressure have led to intense two-way leverage clearing in the $140 to $150 range.
Market facts show that leveraged funds are extremely sensitive to impacts at key positions: a long position at $145 triggered a sweep at $141, and a short position at $144 was wiped out at $149.
The early $110 holding cost has not yet crossed the risk line, indicating a clear disconnect between the chip structure of medium-term and short-term leveraged funds.
In the ranking of driving factors, the event-driven premium from Starship launches currently ranks first, while the expectation of unlocking is the main variable suppressing medium- to long-term valuations.
The trigger for an upward scenario lies in whether the price can effectively hold above the $150 level. If volume surges and breaks through $150, it will change the short-term resistance structure, opening up space between $160 and $170.
The upward scenario failed to signal a breakthrough above $150 and a rapid retreat below $144, indicating that buying support was insufficient to absorb the unlocking token.
The trigger for the downside scenario is for the price to break below the current $141 support line. If the opening phase falls below $141, it would signal the relief of sentiment premium, with the downside target targeting the $130 range.
The downside scenario signal is a strong buying rebound at $141 and a recovery of $145, indicating that bears have failed to maintain sustained selling pressure.
In the next 24 hours, focus on volume changes at the $141 support level after the U.S. market opens, as well as bullish turnover at the $150 level.
#Strategy再卖1690枚BTC, corporate financial divergence shows by #马斯克称AI将占SpaceX价值99%加密行业盼了四年的"安全港"，又黄了。
SEC 原本今天上午要投票，决定是否推出 Reg Crypto，一份 400 页的规则提案，专门给加密初创公司开三条融资豁免路径，甚至允许代币网络去中心化之后退出证券分类。这可是 Atkins 上任以来第一个正式加密规则制定，行业把宝都押在上面了。
结果呢？会议前一天，SEC 突然在官网把状态改成"取消"，理由就一句：不可预见的日程问题。新日期？没有。
这剧情是不是很熟悉？国会那边 CLARITY Act 也没过，参议院已经休会，下次程序性投票排到 9 月 15 日。Galaxy 把今年通过的概率砍到 30%
更要命的是，白宫和华尔街都在给 SEC 施压：白宫怕干扰立法进程，SIFMA 那些传统金融巨头担心代币化证券冲击现有交易规则。两头夹击，SEC 只能往后缩。
还有个大变量：最挺加密的委员 Hester Peirce 11 月就要离职了。窗口正在一点点关上。
别把这次取消解读成"监管倒退"，方向没变，但节奏确实被拖慢了。对做项目融资的人来说，今年指望不上"安全港"落地，该按老规矩合规的还得按老规矩来。市场嘛，短空长多，别太兴奋也别太悲观。According to market performance after the release of the US CPI data on August 12, 2026, its core impact on the crypto world is short-term volatility but fails to bring about a directional breakthrough. After a brief rally, Bitcoin pulled back and remains within a recent consolidation range.
The specific logic and manifestations of impact are as follows:
· Core transmission logic: CPI data is transmitted by influencing expectations for the Fed's interest rate policy. If inflation falls short of expectations, the market will bet on pausing or cutting rate hikes, which would benefit risk assets; Otherwise, it creates pressure. This time, the 3.4% annual growth rate fully met expectations, so policy expectations were not significantly changed, and the market reacted mutedly.
· Price surged and then retreated: After the data release, Bitcoin briefly surged to a daily high of $65,234 before quickly dropping nearly 3%, returning to around $63,300, reflecting a typical "buy expectations, sell facts" pattern (positive news turning negative).
· A rare divergence from US stock performance: PPI data also shows inflation slowing, pushing US stocks like the S&P 500 to record highs, but Bitcoin has not followed suit. This indicates that off-market capital preferences for traditional and digital assets are structurally diverging.
· Key Upcoming Variables: After the CPI dust settles, market focus shifts to the August 26 PCE Price Index and the September Federal Reserve meeting. Currently, inflation remains above the 2% target, and until clearer signals emerge, the crypto sector may continue to fluctuate. 🚨 RIOT IS TURNING BITCOIN INTO AI INFRASTRUCTURE. 👀
Riot reportedly sold around 4,300 $BTC in Q2 as it funds its expanding data-center strategy.
And the bigger story isn’t just the sale.
It’s the Bitcoin mining → AI infrastructure pivot happening across the industry.
Riot has now secured a massive 20-year, $9.1B agreement with Anthropic for 191 MW of computing capacity at its Texas facility, with potential extensions taking the value even higher.
Think about what’s happening:
⛏️ Mining infrastructure
→ ⚡ Cheap power + data centers
→ 🤖 AI compute demand
→ 💰 Long-term contracted revenue
For miners, the decision is becoming more complicated:
Hold BTC and bet on Bitcoin’s upside
OR
Sell some BTC and fund infrastructure that could generate recurring AI revenue.
That creates a fascinating new dynamic for Bitcoin.
If more miners follow Riot’s path, miner selling could become an increasingly important source of BTC supply — while the industry simultaneously becomes a major player in the AI infrastructure boom.
🔥 Bitcoin miners may be evolving from crypto companies into energy + compute companies.
And that could change the economics of the entire sector.
The question is:
👀 Will AI revenue become more valuable to miners than the Bitcoin they’re selling to build it?
#Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto #Riot #RIOT #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #BitMineTopETHStaker #DataCenters #DailyOrbit #AIInfraEarningsWatch #芯片股领涨, Korean stocks rebound over 22% in ten days
Damn! The storage stocks leading the Korean market this time are essentially following an outdated cycle script: when they rise, it's all AI myths; when they fall, they revert to ordinary memory junk.
In July, KOSPI was hit rock bottom, with a single-month plunge hitting a post-financial crisis high. On the surface, it looks like the AI bubble is about to burst, but in reality, it's all domestic retail investors and speculative investors trading leveraged ETFs who have ruined themselves.
Once regulators tighten margins, once forced liquidation triggers a chain reaction, circuit breakers happen as frequently as eating, leaving corpses everywhere. Fundamentals? HBM demand, AI capital spending—those messy issues haven't collapsed at all—it's purely their own leverage.
But after about ten trading days, these people frantically bought it back again. KOSPI jumped more than twenty points from the low, directly entering the technical bull market range. Samsung and SK Hynix led the gains daily, often jumping five or six points, and a bunch of related electronics stocks followed suit. Overnight, US storage stocks like Micron and SanDisk were hyped, and the next day South Korea immediately followed suit.
Those so-called KOLs on X clearly understood: isn't this just the crypto world script? Leverage rises and falls, and once regulation loosens, they come back to cash in.
Some people think SK Hynix's HBM is the real deal. The core supplier positions for giants like Nvidia and Google are there, the logic of volume and price growth isn't yet complete, and the forward-looking P/E ratio doesn't look expensive.
However, it should be noted that foreign investors have withdrawn over 100 billion USD from Korean stocks this year, so occasional buying does not necessarily mean actual return; the whole year is still net selling.
The essence has indeed not changed at all. AI capital spending is still being spent, storage shortages—especially in HBM—supply can't keep up with demand, making it hard for this chain to completely shut down. After GPUs, focus on storage; after storage, focus on optical communications, power, and data centers. Funding keeps moving places.
But with such a rapid rally, the driving force of sentiment and bottom-fishing funds is frighteningly strong. The wounds from earlier leveraged liquidations haven't healed yet; this wave now feels more like a revenge after an overselling, rather than some healthy new bull market start.
What truly matters is not this 22%, but whether it can hold its ground going forward. Whether foreign capital can keep entering the market, whether Samsung and SK Hynix can continue to deliver on their performance, and whether the shareholder return plan at the end of the month (like buybacks plus dividends) can really be invested in—these are the key factors.
If trading volume can't keep up and a sudden surge in volume at a high point sells off, this wave of gains can quickly turn into a new batch of trapped stocks.
For people in the crypto world, Korean retail investors have always been one of the main forces in the crypto market. Once their risk appetite returns, it's not impossible for funds to overflow into AI concept coins; while chips are profiting, AI coins can at least get a taste of the soup. But don't expect this to be a long-term trend confirmation.
Whether this money can be made or not, and whether it should be rushed in. It still depends on whether the company can truly make money.
First, see whether the hot money coming in is genuinely intended to be held long-term, or if you want to cash in and then leave, and then decide whether to enter the market.Gold prices have dropped! Should you get on board or run now?
1. $XAU Gold prices recently surged to a high close to $4,450 per ounce, but after approaching the $4,500 mark twice, they turned downward, as the longs who had made money earlier have all pocketed the money, and traders are very nervous about the resistance level at 4,500.
2. US July inflation data generally cooled (CPI and PPI both came in below expectations), and the probability of a Fed rate hike in September dropped to about one-third. In theory, lower rate hike expectations would be positive for gold, but the market showed a pattern of "all positive news being gone" — after the data was released, gold prices actually fell. Besides taking profits, it was also related to liquidity concerns triggered by Bank of Japan rate hike expectations.
3. Geopolitical tensions: The Strait of Hormuz is tense, and the US threatens tough measures against Iran. This uncertainty has instead driven safe-haven funds into the US dollar, and the stronger dollar has suppressed gold prices.
Technically, gold prices just broke through the 100-day moving average and then fell back, showing a short-term rise that poses consolidation risks.
Additionally, the Fed's statement that it will not buy Treasuries in the short term to manage reserves shows confidence in the liquidity of the banking system, which is interpreted as a signal that "high interest rates will continue for a while," which is not favorable for gold. Overall, gold prices face multiple short-term pressures. #CPI与PPI同步降温, rate hike divergence widens #标普收盘再创新高, 8,000-point expectations heat up#财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report takes place one after another Crypto is beginning to separate into two valuation languages. For ETH, DeFi and platform assets, onchain fees and protocol revenue can anchor analysis in observable activity. That is progress, but revenue alone is not value: investors still need to judge who captures it, how durable it is and whether token holders benefit.
BTC remains a different proposition, shaped by scarcity, ETF flows, macro rates and its store-of-value thesis. My read is that revenue will sharpen protocol valuation without becoming a universal crypto framework. The market may mature by accepting multiple models rather than forcing every asset into one.
Not advice, just analysis.
#CryptoRevenueVsBTCMany people wonder: with the CPI data in line with expectations and the negative warning lifted, why hasn't the crypto sector rallied? Here's the core logic explained all at once:
1. Most crucial: The market is hyping 'exceeding expectations,' not 'meeting expectations.'
This CPI and core CPI figures all matched market forecasts perfectly, with no surprises.
If the data is significantly below expectations = cooling beyond expectations→ funds directly bet on accelerated rate cuts, which can lead to a sharp rise;
If the data is higher than expected = inflation rebounds → panic decline;
Just in line with expectations = no new positive news, just mitigating rate hike risks.
Simply put: it only avoids the risk of a sharp drop, but does not mean it has sustained upward momentum. On the macro level, there are no new expectations for easing, so naturally no incremental funds are entering to push BTC higher.
2. Classic Rule: Buy expectations, sell facts
Before the data was released, the market had already priced in expectations of "moderate inflation and no further rate hikes," and there was already a pre-rebound in the short term.
With the news officially unfolding, short-term funds that had been lying in wait chose to take profits, and the bullish forces realized their positions in a phase, making it difficult to sustain the rally.
3. The biggest pain point in the current crypto world: only existing capital competition, lacking off-exchange increments
There is currently no large influx of new funds:
$BTC Spot ETF funds are intermittent with no sustained net inflows;
Stablecoin total growth stagnates;
On-exchange funds can only switch internally, clustering $OKB $GRVT a few stocks, which is insufficient to push the Bitcoin to break out of its box range.
Macro positive factors can only support the bottom and prevent sharp drops; they cannot alone drive the upward trend.
4. Inflation is only temporarily retained, not completely resolved
Housing inflation remains sticky, and there are hidden risks of rising oil prices.
Market consensus: A single monthly CPI cannot change the Fed's overall tone of "maintaining high interest rates for some time." Funds dare not aggressively bet on one-sided bull positions; major players choose to wait and see, awaiting further confirmation from PCE and employment data.
5. There is a significant pressure zone on the technical level
BTC 65,200–65,500 is accumulating a large number of trapped positions and take-profit orders.
To break through, volume must continue to expand; A single neutral CPI data is not enough to trigger so much selling pressure. Bulls are reluctant to actively consume funds at resistance levels, so they maintain range-bound fluctuations.
6. The divergence characteristics of the market also confirm this
Not all coins remain unchanged:
$OKB. $GRVT These funds have strong resilience in group groups;
$WLD, $FIL, $STORJ Many weak coins continued to perform worse.
This shows that funds are not afraid to participate in the rally, but rather unwilling to rally across the board, choosing to cluster around the main theme without a full bull market atmosphere.
Summary in simple terms
The CPI implementation can only be done by excluding short-term black swan hikes and holding the bottom range.
To start a sustained rise, at least one of two conditions must be met:
(1) Subsequent economic data continues to weaken, and market trading accelerates expectations of rate cuts;
(2) BTC broke through the 65,500 resistance level with increased volume, breaking the box consolidation structure. Oh my god, ETH is squatting back near 1874, grinding close to 1862, the recent low. To give the conclusion: I'm watching and cautious, not chasing long at this level, nor rushing to bottom-fish.
The twist is right here—sentiment is bubbling up. Spot ETFs saw net inflows for two consecutive days, Fidelity even submitted an application to stake Ethereum ETFs, and 67% of major players' accounts are still long, with KOLs who are bullish and bearish at two and a half times the total in one day. Anyone reading this script should be going upward.
But the price just refuses to accept the price and instead grinds toward lower points. The most striking thing is the large cash flow: in the past three hours, not a single net inflow has been squeezed out, and all 12 candlesticks are in the red. On the contract side, it's even more straightforward: actively selling accounts for 60%, and positions keep increasing—prices stay unchanged, positions are rising, and selling pressure is clearly suppressing.
Here's another hidden risk: on-chain borrowing surged more than 50% in 12 hours, spot long-short ratios nearly reached 9 times, and leveraged long positions are a bit crowded. Under this structure, if good news doesn't provide feedback, you should be cautious. ATR reports extreme volatility and could be big bearish or bullish at any time.
Technically, it's also unclear: the daily death cross hasn't been repaired, MACD is weak, ADX is just over 16, a typical range-bound market, and trend signals are not very useful as references. Now it's all about whether 1862 can hold.
My attitude is simple: just wait for the direction, don't bet on it. Wait until big cash in the spot market turns around, or when volume surges and you pick sides, then make a move. Don't get hit repeatedly within a range. There's a saying in the circle that says it honestly—short selling might make money for a while, but if you drag it out, only the bulls can stay strong. I believe that, but the premise is not to die before this wave dawns. Let's watch the show first.
#eth $ETHThe overall market is listless, with only XRP declining. 24h: XRP -2.05%, BTC -0.5%, ETH -0.2%, SOL basically flat. Why is XRP the weakest?
Two factors:
The Russian central bank's draft includes BTC, ETH, and USDT on the retail whitelist, but does not mention XRP
XRP Ledger 3.2.0 has just launched, but the technical upgrade is short-term less likely to withstand macro risk aversion
SOL's resilience is due to ecosystem data: dApp revenue, faster burning, and staking inflows. XRP lacks recent on-chain narrative, so its capital is naturally weak.
Which L1 have you been paying more attention to lately: SOL, ETH, or XRP?
#CPI与PPI同步降温, the rate hike divide widened Before reaching its $852 billion valuation peak, OpenAI lost two core commercialization executives within a week, pushing its IPO timeline back to 2027.
Within eight months, seven core executives left one after another, and although the company's annualized revenue and operating rate reached $40 billion, its gross margin remained at only 33%.
Competitor Anthropic's annualized revenue has jumped to $47 billion, and combined with xAI's model price war, this has directly suppressed capital's risk appetite for high-consumption large model assets.
The interplay of high cash consumption and turnover in core sales teams is prompting market funds to re-examine the narrative of high-premium growth, affecting holdings in core computing power chains like $NVDA.
If the new Chief Revenue Officer quickly stabilizes major client orders and drives the proportion of enterprise revenue to exceed expectations, market vigilance against key player risks will quickly cool.
If major clients renew contracts due to slowed team handovers and the $27 billion in cash burn in 2026 intensifies, valuation premium contraction will force institutional investors to further reduce their overall AI sector risk exposure.
When subsequent funding rounds or public market pricing clearly fall below the $852 billion benchmark, the pessimistic pricing for the commercialization gap will be thoroughly confirmed.
The most noteworthy variable in the next seven days is the progress of retaining and handing over long-term cooperation agreements with existing major clients by the new team.
#Strategy再卖1690枚BTC, corporate financial disparities have #霍尔木兹通航谈判未果, and pressure from the US and Iran has escalatedThe S&P closed at a record high again, and the market casually put the "8,000 points" on the table. To be clear: this is not an exclusive ETH red envelope, and even if US stocks rise, on-chain wallets won't be filled remotely.
The transmission I want to see is very specific. If risk appetite really moves toward crypto, the ETH/BTC ratio, net inflows into exchanges stablecoins, and perpetual fund fees should all show some movement, with only a brief price spike and thin evidence.
My crystal ball is still under repair, so I can only honestly look at on-chain data. Especially don't turn rate cut imagination into a bull market script, with the dollar and leverage in between.
The wind is coming, but whether there's wind inside the sail or not, the data speaks for itself. If stablecoins don't enter the market, I'll put the "8,000-point carnival" back in the drawer first.

I stared at this XST "structural drawing" as if looking at a construction plan without a pile foundation. 74% of the bricks are held by the same account, meaning the entire building can be moved at any time, while the retail investors staying downstairs "copying trades" are just wax figures in the demonstration zone. The so-called "ten-thousand-person lottery" on TikTok is essentially building the sales office on quicksand—traffic is the wind; wind can blow up fires but also blow away foundations.
Having worked in this industry for forty years, I know the most dangerous thing is never the ugly facade, but the "technical innovation" on the blueprints. A project's white paper can be written as beautifully as Zaha's curve, but if its underground garage has only one exit, the day of fire acceptance becomes its anniversary. XST's token model is just such a fire safety blind spot: market value is a cross-sectional view, liquidity is temporary support, and the centralized token holding structure is the cantilevered beam that never dares to be drawn into construction plans.

I've seen too many such sites, and in the end, all that remains is a rusty tower crane and a court seizure order.
Anyone who works in design knows that when more than 70% of a building's load-bearing components are supplied by a single supplier, it's not built for living—it's designed so that on a typhoon night, when the entire building falls, the supplier has already purchased insurance on another continent.
This is not a building; it is a prefabricated parachute. And the most ironic thing is, the parachute is only proven unstitched at the moment it jumps.
#影响周期·Daily #链上事件· Meme Risk #XST·74% concentration·Market cap $70 million#CPI与PPI同步降温, the rate hike divide widened
Last night, both CPI and PPI weakened. On the surface, inflation seemed to be easing, but the Fed was in turmoil, and the market was deeply divided over whether to raise rates in September. Many people thought that once inflation fell, they would immediately loosen the market, but let me explain it thoroughly—don't be fooled by surface data.
What signals does the data actually send?
Overall inflation readings are declining, upstream PPI pressure has significantly eased, and the decline in energy prices has made a significant contribution, directly lowering the probability of a rate hike in September. The market is trading expectations of a "pause in rate hikes," and risk assets such as US stocks and deposits have seen a wave of recovery.
But the key point is that core inflation stickiness remains, rents and service prices have not completely collapsed, and the 2% inflation target is still far off.
This has led to polarization within the Fed:
- Dovish: CPI and PPI have clearly cooled, so there is no need to continue raising rates. Continued tightening could damage the economy, so hold steady in September;
- Hawks: Core inflation is stubborn and should not be misled by short-term data. If inflation rebounds, the option to raise rates again should be kept, and action in September is not ruled out.
In short: the data gives reasons not to raise rates, but not conditions for a cut. Right now, it's a stalemate.My giant panda brother's quota is here!
Panda Bro's use of SLRV to conclude that 'Bitcoin is about to bottom' is logically untenable, with three obvious blind spots:
1️⃣ Confusing "state" with "point in time": SLRV dropping to a very low only objectively describes the extreme silence of current on-chain trading, and does not mean the price has bottomed out. Looking back at 2018, SLRV entered the bottom red box early, but then the price suffered a dramatic 50% halving. Indicator entry into a low level is only a necessary condition for bottoming, far from a sufficient one. Directly calling out "bottoming complete" misjudges the long, disorderly bottoming period as a precise reversal point.
2️⃣ Ignoring the "flat bottom" pattern of bottoming down: Combining the evolution of Bitcoin's macro cycle, real bear market bottoms rarely complete with "V-shaped" straight pulls, but inevitably undergo an extremely low volatility flat bottom structure. During this sideways reshuffling phase, the market needs ample time to accumulate chips and fully clear leverage and speculative funds. Just seeing SLRV dip to assume the bottom is over completely ignores the inevitable process of flat bottom accumulation over time and space. 3️⃣ Indicator failure of "carving a boat to seek a sword": After spot ETFs and institutions take over the market, a large volume of trading shifts to on-chain UTXOs matching on-balance sheets and custodial pools, causing structural changes in on-chain UTXOs and shifting the indicator center downward. Applying the absolute value of old cycles to today's institutional market is tantamount to blindly guessing bottoms on the left side.
In short, it's best not to heavily buy the dip at the current position; holding a light position and waiting for a lower bottom is a safer approach. Of course, a continuous DCA is also acceptable.$SNDK Positive news piles up, SanDisk takes off immediately!!

Look at the recent situation—even top influencers have been caught on leverage and hanging on trees. This kind of thing really isn't something just anyone can play.
But people always have moments when they can't control themselves. My simple method: open a mosquito position with 50U, just enjoy it and then close it. Silently saying, "This is a big 50,000U order," I show myself how much I make or lose, treat it as a fun experience, and it won't affect my mood.
The real main force always stays in spot BTC and ETH, standing still like a mountain. Once the foundation is stable, no matter how much you try to stir, you don't panic.
After all these years, I've come to believe one thing: in a bear market, slowly pick up chips—BTC, ETH, SOL, plus reliable platform coins like OKB and BNB—stockpile and wait for the wind to come. When the bull market comes, I sell in batches. And regardless of price swings, I always hold at least one big pie in my hand—it's my lifeline.

Analyst Murphy posted on X: After $BTC fell to around $63,000, almost all the chips bought in 2025 are in a loss.
On-chain data shows that about 4.77 million tokens remain in this batch, down 41.5% from last December's peak.
Excluding internal wallet transfers, the tokens that leave mostly mean holders are cutting losses or completing a turnover.
Before February this year, this batch of stranded listings dropped rapidly; After February, the curve clearly slowed.
The price continued to fall, but the number of shares did not decrease sharply in tandem, indicating that the most panicked traders have already exited, leaving only long-term holders.
Additionally, BTC bought from 2022 to 2024 and still has floating profits is now nearing flattening on its selling curve.
The longer you hold it, the less sensitive you are to short-term fluctuations.
Referring to the previous two bear markets, at the end of 2022, the high-level chips in 2021 dropped by about 51%; At the end of 2018, the high-level chips from 2017 dropped by about 62%.
Currently, the current rate is 41.5%. If we refer to history, selling pressure may not have fully released yet, but the most panicked selling phase is likely over.
There is another clear difference in this round: the 2025 holdings include institutional funds such as ETFs and Strategies.
These chips are usually held for a longer period, so this round of high-level holdings may not need to be reduced by 60% as in the past for the market to bottom.
#加密估值转向收入, how is BTC priced? $AAOI After the US stock market opened last night,
Tormented me so much that I doubted my life.
It fluctuates up and down, fluctuating up and down by 2%.
How to respond?
Brothers, stop staring at altcoins,
Altcoin liquidity is drying up, so it's better to pay more attention to US stocks.
In practice, the Wall Street team
Targeting $NVDA, $MU, $AAOI
Short-term trading was conducted,
The core logic is to establish a long position before the US market opens and close it before the market closes.
This is how huge profits are generated.
The chart below uses $AAOI as an example to see its volatility!
How can you grow your account without being gradually cut and shrinking?On one side, institutions are ramping up $SOL; on the other, traditional crypto narratives are once again calling for BTC to hit bottom.
GSR raised the SOL weight in the Core3 portfolio to 43.7%, surpassing ETH and BTC. This isn't a random reposition, but rather a preference for a preference: if the market returns to the risk appetite phase, they're more willing to bet on highly resilient chains rather than just stick to the most stable assets.
Forward Industries acted even more directly. It bought another 254,325 SOL, spending about $19.07M, with an average price of about $75. After buying, its holdings rose to $SOL 7.807 million tokens, accounting for about 1.3% of circulating supply. This is no longer a "small position testing the waters," but rather treating SOL as a core asset to stockpil.
But on the other hand, VanEck said $BTC may be approaching the bottom of this cycle. This signal cannot be ignored. $BTC remains the market's main switch; as long as it is unstable, it will be difficult for altcoins and highly elastic assets to independently break through the big rally.
So this isn't a story of "SOL replacing BTC," but rather two types of funds looking at different positions in the same cycle.
BTC is responsible for confirming bottoms and market direction, while SOL is responsible for undertaking risk appetite and offensive resilience. If institutions judge that $BTC is about to bottom, they will start looking for more elastic targets for the next phase, and SOL is one of the easiest choices to put on the table. Nothing is better than good stats and Huma Finance has been putting up some serious ones
They've been building around PayFi, using stablecoin liquidity to support real-world payment activity, and the numbers are getting harder to ignore:
Some of the latest numbers:
🟪 Total Transaction Volume: $16,848,064,107
🟪 Origination Volume: $8,483,690,480
🟪 Payback Volume: $8,314,373,627
🟪 Total Active Liquidity: $233,723,139
🟪 PayFi Assets: $140,466,761
🟪 Depositors: 129,251
Huma is now less than $152M away from hitting $17B in total transaction volume.
source - @Dune #CPI与PPI同步降温, rate hike divergence widens as the latest US inflation data slows down. In July, PPI year-on-year fell from 5.5% to 4.7%, and core PPI fell from 4.7% to 4.2%, both month-on-month increases below market expectations. Previously released CPI year-on-year also fell from 3.5% to 3.4%, and core CPI fell from 2.6% to 2.5%. Inflation on both production and consumption sides fell simultaneously, and combined with initial jobless claims rising to 209,000 that week, the urgency for a Fed rate hike in September has been further reduced. However, the Fed's internal stance has not been unified. Hamak reiterated that rate hikes are still necessary, while Barkin said many believe current rates are sufficient to curb inflation. The slowdown in inflation momentum and divergent policy judgments coexist, causing market pricing of interest rate paths in September to remain volatile. This mainly affects the market in the following areas: The dollar and US Treasury yields: Cooling inflation usually weighs on the dollar and yields, but divergence can cause short-term volatility. Gold $XAU: Lower expectations for real interest rates are favorable for gold prices, but safe-haven attributes remain under scrutiny. Bitcoin $BTC: Macro pressures have eased, but the market remains highly sensitive to the Fed's ultimate path, and in the short term, risk assets may continue to fluctuate. Currently, overall trading activity in the crypto market is low, with more funds flowing into traditional assets.On the morning of August 4, BTC bounced back just above the support area of 63,300 and has been almost flat in the last 24 hours. The price touched the intraday resistance around 64,000 and then began to fluctuate slightly, indicating that the buyers were not decisive enough to break through. 📊 Currently, the price is still above the EMA, but momentum is tug-of-war between bullish and bearish. Capital flows in the market are still more defensive, reflecting the cautious sentiment of investors before there is a clearer signal. 🛡️ My point today is simple: focus on observing BTC Cryptocurrency has ruined me————
Because Arbitrum's previous "Odyssey" airdrop event was a huge rip-off.
So now when you talk to me about 'Odyssey,' I can't think of any of it:
Philosophical epic topics such as "How should one return home" and "How to get through the valley?"
I can only recall preconceived notions:
"Black slave," "anti-masturbation"...From the "retail investor graveyard" to the tech bull market, the Korean stock market took only 10 days—Old Mo tells you why chip stocks pulled the KOSPI back
Guys, this V-shaped reversal in the Korean stock market made Lao Mo say it was ruthless.
On August 13, South Korea's KOSPI index surged as much as 4.8% intraday, rebounding about 22% from the July 30 low, officially entering a technical bull market. Ten days ago, panic selling was underway; ten days later, it directly entered the bull market.
Who pulled it up? Chip stocks.
Samsung Electronics rose over 5%, and SK Hynix gained over 7%. Both companies contributed the most to the KOSPI index. Storage concept stocks rebounded collectively—SK Hynix rose over 9%, Seagate Technology rose over 7%, SanDisk rose over 5%, and Micron Technology gained over 4%.
So far this year, the KOSPI index has risen more than 60%. After a sharp 22% drop in July and marking the worst monthly performance since the global financial crisis, it was fully recovered within 10 days.
Why can it come back? Lao Mo will break it down for you with four reasons.
First, AI storytelling is back.
Earnings reports from CoreWeave and Supermicro confirm strong demand for AI infrastructure, directly igniting market enthusiasm for tech hardware stocks. Global tech giants continue to show large-scale AI spending in their latest earnings, rebuilding market confidence in memory chip demand. Mark Newton, Head of Technology Strategy at Fundstrat, said that memory chip stocks have begun to outperform the broader tech sector for the first time since June—"This is significant for South Korea, as Samsung and SK Hynix have a significant impact on the Korean stock market."
Second, those who were liquidated by leverage have disappeared.
The core reason for the July crash was the concentrated liquidation of leveraged chip stocks, which led to trading halts and wiped out billions of dollars in wealth from South Korean retail investors. The South Korean government subsequently tightened measures related to leveraged ETFs for individual stocks, and investors reduced margin debt. Arkevium Capital's Chief Investment Officer put it bluntly: "Once leverage is removed, the same market can experience a sharp rebound." Investors forced to sell disappear. Short sellers take profits. Traders reduce downside hedging. ”
Third, CPI provided a boost.
US July CPI year-on-year slowed to 3.4%, and core CPI slowed to 2.5%, all in line with market expectations. After the data release, the probability of a rate hike in September dropped from nearly 50% to around 38%. Concerns over Fed rate hikes eased, providing support for US-listed chip stocks, which in turn passed on to the Korean stock market.
Fourth, Temasek and shareholder return plans are being ignited.
Reports say Singapore's state-owned investment company Temasek plans to invest in South Korea's chip giant, causing Samsung and SK Hynix's stock prices to surge more than 8%. At the same time, the market expects Samsung and SK Hynix to announce new shareholder return plans as early as the end of August, with a combined return size possibly exceeding 200 trillion Korean won (about 952 billion yuan).
Can the rebound last? Lao Mo mentioned a few signals.
Life Asset Management CEO Kang Dae-won reminded: "If the AI investment narrative and U.S. interest rate trends cannot achieve a certain degree of stability, it will be difficult for the Korean stock market to sustain sustained gains." ”
Fundstrat believes there may be further room for a rebound—the iShares MSCI Korea ETF has broken through key technical levels, confirming a reversal pattern. Macquarie analysts maintain the KOSPI index target of 8,000 points.
But so far this year, foreign capital remains a net seller, with over $100 billion expected to withdraw from Korean stocks by 2026. Foreign capital has yet to return; this rebound mainly relies on domestic capital and short covering.
Back to the big cake ether.
This volatility in Korean stocks isn't directly related to your Bitcoin orders, but there are two indirect signals worth watching. First, the AI narrative is being regained market recognition, and risk appetite in the tech sector is rebounding—as a high-beta asset, Bitcoin will benefit emotionally. Second, if the Kimchi Premium turns positive as the Korean stock market rebounds, the selling pressure from Koreans may ease. Over the past month, the reverse Kimchi Premium has been suppressing Cake, and this variable is worth watching.
BTC's latest price is around 63,100-63,500, fluctuating within the 62,800-64,000 range over 24 hours. ETH is quoted at around 1880-1900.
Lao Mo concludes: From a 22% plunge to a 22% rise in 10 days, the Korean stock market has proven one thing with action—the AI narrative isn't dead, it's just that the leverage stampede in July pushed prices where they shouldn't be. But the rebound ≠ reversal, foreign capital hasn't returned, and the sustainability of AI spending remains controversial. KOSPI is still about 24% away from its June high—there's still a long way to go.
Did you feel the rebound in Korean stocks this time? Will the big bing follow suit and drink the soup? Let's talk in the comments.
$BTC $ETH $SNDK #韩股十日反弹逾22%, chip stocks led the gains $XRP(7) Holding XRP for five years, and you're still losing money today. Why do I believe XRP will eventually be replaced? As of August 14, 2026, XRP is priced at around $1.06. On August 14, 2021, five years ago, XRP was priced at $1.2804, with a five-year return of about -17.3% and an annualized return of about -3.7%; On August 14, 2025, a year ago, XRP was priced at $3.0835, and after holding for a year, it has lost about 65.7%; In 2025, XRP peaked around $3.65, and holding at that price until now has resulted in a loss of about 71%. If time keeps moving forward, the result will change completely. On August 14, 2016, XRP was priced at only $0.005994. Buying and holding ten years ago has yielded a cumulative gain of about 17,568% today, so $10,000 becomes roughly $1.76 million; On August 14, 2013, CoinMarketCap showed XRP at only $0.003788, holding it for about 279 times today, with cumulative returns close to 27,857%, annualized about 54%. When the XRP Ledger was launched in 2012, 100 billion XRP were generated at once, lacking a public market price to calculate investment returns. Therefore, it is difficult to rigorously calculate "the first day of coin issuance purchase profits," and using the 2013 public market price as an early reference is more reasonable. This earnings history illustrates a very direct issue: XHarmony pushes for on-chain rollback, and minting vulnerability fixes have been activated. The biggest blow is the myth of "code is law."
Creating vulnerabilities, forging abnormal issues, fixing, and rolling back—technically, these may be necessary actions. The problem is, once the chain enters rollback mode, everyone will ask again: Is the ledger really in its final state? If you can fix a bug once today and face a bigger loss tomorrow, will you do it again?
This isn't because I'm harsh, but because of real money forcing it into problems.
Users naturally want the vulnerability fixed, and victims naturally want their losses recovered. But investors also worry whether supply, status, and governance voting can be rewritten in emergency meetings. Harmony has had bridge thefts, compensation, additional issuances, and governance disputes in the past, and now it faces minting vulnerabilities, increasing trust costs.
I think rolling back can put out the fire, but after putting it out, you must clearly explain: who has the permission, under what conditions it triggers, and how to avoid it in the future.
Otherwise, even if you fix the code, you won't be able to build confidence.
#Harmony推进链上回滚, minting bug fixes have been activated Musk's AI agents are getting stronger, but ETH's biggest concern is authorization loss of control
Grok began handing over programming, office work, and complex workflows to intelligent agents, while Musk is pushing AI from "giving advice" to "acting on behalf of users." When a model can call dozens of tools, assign tasks in parallel, and automate processes, the next step naturally comes with funding: agents purchasing services for people, settling API fees, managing subscriptions, and even performing on-chain operations. This future looks promising $ETH, but it also magnifies Ethereum's most dangerous problem—authorization.
Today, on-chain users are accustomed to clicking wallet signatures, but rarely truly understand what an authorization allows the application to do. When humans occasionally operate, risks can be mitigated through confirmation pages; If AI agents perform multiple tasks per minute, they cannot wait for the owner to click every step. To achieve efficiency, users must give certain permissions to the agent in advance, and once permissions are set too widely, model errors, malicious prompts, or application vulnerabilities can directly turn into asset losses.
The importance of Ethereum in advancing native account abstraction has thus increased. Accounts should not simply "have private keys to transfer all assets," but should support daily limits, designated payees, contract-restricted contracts, auto-expiration, emergency freezes, and recovery mechanisms. For AI agents, the most valuable aspect is not full control of wallets, but autonomous actions within clear boundaries. Blockchain is responsible for immutability, while smart accounts are responsible for writing tamper-proof rules before action.
This is also the real path for ETH to gain AI value. The market likes to issue new coins labeled with AI, but the agent economy primarily needs stablecoins, identity, custody, and auditable settlement. Models can be changed daily, but underlying accounts cannot migrate frequently. As long as Ethereum and its Layer 2 can provide secure, low-cost, and cross-application account systems, AI companies may not need to hold large amounts of ETH and will continue to generate on-chain operational demand.
The advantage of the Musk system lies in the entry points. X controls the content and user relationships, Grok controls the intent, and other businesses can connect to real devices. If these entry points allow open wallets in the future, on-chain payments could quickly gain real users; If they choose closed accounts and traditional settlements, public blockchains will only remain on the periphery. Whether ETH can benefit does not depend on whether Musk publicly mentions it, but on whether open protocols provide more commercial value than internal databases.
On the positive side, open chains allow agents from different companies to trade with each other without sharing accounts on the same platform. One design agent can pay another data agent, with results and fees publicly verified; stablecoins can be settled cross-border, and digital property rights can be automatically transferred. This machine-to-machine marketplace is something traditional payment systems struggle to provide with the same level of openness, and it is also an advantage of ETH's programmability.
The risk comes from the uncertainty of AI itself. Models may create hallucinations, web content may be injected with malicious instructions, and third-party tools may return incorrect data. Once on-chain transactions are confirmed, they are difficult to revoke like credit cards. The more AI can act autonomously, the more wallets need to separate "model recommendations" from "asset execution," establishing buffers through simulation, limits, multisig, and delay windows. Otherwise, the smartest agents may become the most efficient transfer tools for attackers.
For $BTC, the role of the AI era may be closer to machine reserve assets; For ETH, it is the operating system for machine commercial activities. The former pursues minimal movement, while the latter relies on frequent interaction. Therefore, the security pressure ETH faces will arrive earlier and be more complex. It must allow ordinary people to avoid understanding underlying details, while not letting convenience swallow autonomous control.
To judge whether this narrative is realized, I will look at whether smart wallets default to fine-grained permissions, whether stablecoins see machine payment growth, whether on-chain applications offer transaction simulation and recoverability mechanisms, and whether every step of the proxy can be audited. Only when these infrastructure matures will AI traffic become economic activity on ETH, rather than just another round of concept coin rallying.
$ETH To become the settlement layer of an AI agent, the first step is to teach the agent to follow the rules. AI decides what to do, and account rules determine the maximum amount it can handle. The most valuable wallet in the future may not be the smartest, but even if the model makes mistakes, it won't hand over all its assets.Recently, it's not that "crypto has no story," but rather that capital is unwilling to value most stories.
Market liquidity has contracted. In the second quarter, the total market capitalization of crypto continued to decline, and spot trading volume also dropped significantly; The total supply of stablecoins even shrank, indicating insufficient incremental funds. Without incremental volume, it is difficult to sustain rotation.
Macroeconomic factors still weigh on risk appetite. With interest rate expectations, geopolitical conflicts, and oil prices fluctuating, funds prefer to stay in cash, gold, and large US stocks rather than buy highly volatile small coins first. Previously, digital asset products saw significant net outflows for several consecutive weeks.
Institutional funds are more biased toward BTC and ETH, so they won't naturally spill over to knockoffs. ETFs can support big assets, but that doesn't mean the 'knockoff season' has arrived. The market is now picking projects, not buying sectors with their eyes closed.
Too many old narratives, too little realization. AI, RWA, L2, DeFi, and MEME each have their own topics, but many tokens still face issues with unlocking, selling pressure, and low real income. Funds are only willing to give to a few targets with income, buybacks, user growth, or clear event catalysts.
Trading heat has been diverted. US stocks, AI, precious metals, prediction markets, and tokenized US stocks are all competing for the same batch of high-risk funds. Within crypto, there is no super main thread that can lift the entire market.
So now it feels more like a "selective market," not a completely stagnant market: some projects with real cash flow or strong catalysts will move, but most coins only fluctuate briefly with BTC and then have no follow-up.
In short: It's not that the crypto world is empty, but the market has shifted from "buying narrative" to "buying certainty."Ethereum's post-quantum security path has undergone a significant adjustment. On August 13, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake posted on X stating: Ethereum L1 will abandon the SNARK-friendly hash algorithm Poseidon and shift to more mature traditional hash functions like SHA2 and BLAKE2. This is not a simple algorithmic replacement. Behind it lies years of research on Ethereum, tens of millions of dollars invested, and a reassessment of future quantum computing threats. Why abandon Poseidon? Since its launch in 2019, Poseidon has been a key hashing solution for zero-knowledge proof applications such as ZK-Rollup and zkVM. Its greatest advantage is that it is specifically designed for SNARK, thus proving to be highly efficient. But the problem was clear—Poseidon was relatively young and needed to continue undergoing long-term cryptographic analysis. Traditional hash functions like SHA2 and BLAKE2 have undergone years of public research and practical validation. In the past, their biggest drawback was: not suitable enough for SNARK. SHA2, BLAKE2s, and Keccak heavily use binary operations such as XOR and shifting, while traditional SNARKs excel at arithmetic operations in large prime fields. This means: traditional hashes are secure, but the cost of proof is high. Poseidon is the opposite: the proof is more efficient, but the history of cryptography is even greaterRecently, I've been obsessively studying compound interest theory and then summarized my own strategy:
From the profit and loss ratio, win rate, and trading frequency
Try to achieve a balance and a stop-loss point and profit speed you can accept
Keep learning, but still feel the strategy is flawedSanDisk's explosive rally is exactly on the opposite side, and my short positions are still trapped. Last night, the highest during trading soared +17%, closing up 13.67%, with the three storage giants collectively rioting.
1. Core of the surge: A three-year grand vision
Investor Day dropped three bombs: mid-to-high double-digit revenue growth from 2028 to 2030, gross margin target of 80%, free cash flow profit margin of 50%; Remaining cash after capacity is fully invested will be returned to shareholders, alleviating concerns about disorderly expansion; AI inference will ignite new demand for flash memory, expectations for HBF technology implementation are heating up, and growth potential is instantly opening.
2. Underlying color of the rebound: Too much decline + macro market support
Earlier storage cycle peaks were widespread, stock prices continued southward, and bears piled up like mountains. PPI fell short of expectations + CPI met expectations, rate hike pressure eased, and funds flowed back into AI hardware. Long-term contract order logic regained recognition, but storage cycle attributes were weakened.
3. Stay clear-headed: Don't be blinded by a big bullish candlestick
This is an event-driven pulse, with heavy profit-taking, and today is highly likely to experience severe volatility. The long-term target is a pie three years from now; short-term performance remains unchanged, and the positive news has already been quickly priced in. The storage sector remains highly sensitive to U.S. Treasury yields, and hawks immediately turn hostile as soon as they appear.
4. Keep a close watch on three signals
Can it hold its rebound high? Can the three storage giants continue to interact? Jackson Hole Federal Reserve's statement will decide the outcome.
Finally, to be honest: Short positions are trapped, mistakes are wrong, no excuses. Wait for the rebound to exhaust and add hedging, or pull back to stop loss and exit. The market is always right; only by staying alive can you turn things around. #闪迪暴涨背后的逻辑与风险Two-way trading strategy in a volatile pattern—based on the Fed's swing trading strategy in September
After the Fed's September policy meeting "no rate hikes" and sending dovish signals, market sentiment temporarily improved but did not reverse the medium- to long-term bearish tone. From the chart, prices encountered resistance and pulled back near 1925, with the previous high of 1943 forming strong resistance, while 1847 serves as recent support, with a clear horizontal oscillation range. The MACD indicator shows DIFF and DEA repeatedly forming golden crosses and death crosses below the zero axis, showing weak momentum and confirming a tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Against this backdrop, the swing strategy of "buy on dips and short on highs" is more practical: when prices retest the 1870–1880 area (combined with lower Bollinger bands or previous low support), and candlesticks show hammer lines or bullish engulfing bearish reversal patterns, light positions should test long positions; Conversely, if the price rebounds to the strong resistance zone of 1920–1935, accompanied by increased volume on the upper shadow and MACD bearish divergence, short positions should be arranged in batches. Strict stop-loss (e.g., ± 1.5%) must be set and position size controlled at ≤5% to avoid misjudgment of one-sided expectations. The core of this strategy is to respect the nature of oscillation, use event-driven factors as guides, and technical signals as the ruler, to achieve high-frequency small profit accumulation under controllable risk.No matter how strong your beliefs are, mature traders.

The U.S. July PPI annual rate was 4.7%, the lowest since March, below the market expectation of 4.9%, and a sharp drop from the previous 5.5%; At the same time, initial jobless claims were announced at 209,000, the highest since the week of July 11 and higher than the expected 202,000. The probability of a rate hike in September has dropped to 40%.
On August 13, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of 131 million. Ethereum ETFs had a net inflow of 5.9 million. Ethereum ETFs have little liquidity left
SanDisk aims to achieve mid-to-high double-digit revenue growth in fiscal years 2028 to 2030. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be about 80% for fiscal years 2028 to 2030. Non-GAAP operating margin for fiscal years 2028 to 2030 is expected to be about 75%. There are also positive developments in business models and technological iterations, with stock prices surging yesterday.
Market analysis
Bitcoin continued its independent downward trend, with the US Nasdaq almost reversing into a bullish trend. However, Bitcoin remained stagnant, continuously oscillating and declining, with the scale shrinking and funds continuing to flee. This shows the market's bleakness, but even with independent declines, the decline was very small, so it remained within a range.
The US AI sector has been boosted by SanDisk, with SK Hynix and SanDisk rising strongly. Overall, sector stocks are about to break through resistance levels from previous declines, and are expected to reverse into an upward trend.
Cryptocurrency Panic Greed Index: 37 (Panic) 📊 Market Analysis | $BTC is trading sideways, with internal capital shifts in the market, and the CeFi sector is making a strong comeback
🦅 Basic market status
BTC fluctuated narrowly around $63,000, with a slight 24-hour drop of 0.3%; ETH held the $1,800 level, recording a slight gain of 0.44%.
The overall market volatility is minimal, but there is already clear divergence among sectors, and it is not a broad-sweeping rally.
🐂 The sector is showing polarization between hot and cold sectors
✅ Strong sectors:
The CeFi sector led the market, with an overall gain of 1.89%, with BNB rising over 3%; The Layer 1 sector rose 1.22%, the Meme sector closed up 0.76%, and DOGE performed relatively well.
❌ Weakening sectors:
The NFT sector plunged over 6%, the Layer2 sector fell 1.7%, and the DeFi sector also weakened overall.
Even though $LINK bucked the trend and surged nearly 4%, it couldn't drive a collective recovery in the DeFi sector, making it a separate individual currency rally.
🟠 Logical interpretation of capital behavior
Currently, the market is a typical case of stock capital repositioning, with no large external incremental capital inflow.
Funds are withdrawing from the sluggish, illiquid NFT and Layer 2 sectors, and flowing back into CeFi and leading strong coins with ample liquidity and higher business certainty.
It's not that altcoins collectively recovered, but rather that internal funds within the sector are moving in.
🔔 Core Market Judgment
The CeFi sector's leading rally this time cannot be directly equated with the start of a new major rally.
The entire market lacks incremental funds, and the sustainability of this sector rotation is questionable. It is likely to last only 1-2 days before a rapid switch.
⚠️ Key points for future market observation
For the market to further open up space, the prerequisite is for BTC to strengthen with increased volume and ETH to continue its rebound.
Only when the two major mainstream coins show a clear upward trend can on-market funds have the confidence to spill over and spread to small- and mid-cap counterfeit currencies.
If Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to grind, blindly chasing small-cap coins that suddenly surged can easily get stuck at high levels. $BTC $ETH #CPI与PPI同步降温, rate hike divergence widens #标普收盘再创新高, expectations for 8,000 points rise #闪迪投资者日后, and long-term targets become the focus The CPI was delivered as expected, so why did $BTC fall instead of rising?
The information is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice
Core Event
July U.S. CPI data all met market expectations:
- CPI +0.1% month-on-month, +3.4% year-on-year
- Core CPI +0.2% month-on-month, +2.5% year-on-year
Housing costs are the main driver of inflation, contributing two-thirds of this CPI increase, while energy prices fell 1.5% month-on-month. After the data was released, the $BTC did not see a rally; instead, it fell back to around $64,000, playing out a classic "buy the rumor, sell the fact" rally.
The underlying logic behind the decline
The market trades not about good or bad data, but about poor expectations.
Before the CPI release, weakening nonfarm payroll data had already lowered the market's chances of further Fed rate hikes. Optimism about rate cuts had already been priced in, and $BTC rebounded back to the $65,000 area.
This CPI only perfectly fulfilled the market's previous expectations, with no surprises below expectations and no unexpected incremental positive development.
Funds that had previously gambled on positive factors and took profits and exited while the data was in the market, directly putting pressure on the market and pulling it down.
Simply put: meeting expectations = no surprises, not enough to drive a new upward rally.
Key observation periods for follow-up
With the CPI data settled, the rally's focus shifts to defending the support zone: the key is the $63,000–$63,800 range.
1. If the price can hold above this range: This is a consolidation shakeout after positive news has been realized. The original medium-term structure has not been broken, but it will take time to absorb the selling pressure above.
2. If this support is effectively broken: it means selling pressure remains heavy above 65,000, bulls lack strength, and the market will further open up downside space.
Market insights
The data meeting expectations only means there are no new negative factors, but it does not mean the market will rise.
The old story of cooling inflation has been fully digested by the market. To push $BTC to break upward again, new catalysts are needed: either the Fed sends clearer easing signals, or ETFs and real on-chain incremental funds entering the market. Relying solely on old expectations already price-in is difficult to sustain price increases. $BTC $ETH #CPI与PPI同步降温, rate hike divergence widens #标普收盘再创新高, 8,000-point expectation heats up#财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts one after another Every time the market enters a period of volatility, a very typical anxiety emerges: everyone knows funds will rotate sooner or later, but they don't know where the next stop will be. So traders started constantly refreshing the gainers' charts: one day studying a public chain that suddenly surged, the next chasing a small coin that inexplicably doubled, and the day after discussing whether Meme Season was back. But from a fund management perspective, this approach often reverses the causal relationship. The real question of value is never true: "Which coin is rising?" Instead, it should be: "Why will the next batch of incremental funds come in, and once they arrive, where will they naturally settle down?" These two questions may look similar, but their answers are completely different. As of mid-August, $BTC was still fluctuating around $63,000, with a very clear pullback from the all-time high of over $126,000 in 2025; CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index is around 52, which is far from being a full-fledged altcoin season like in past cycles. Meanwhile, the total market capitalization of stablecoins remains at a high level of about $300.7 billion. This is actually a very noteworthy market structure. A weak coin price doesn't mean money has disappeared. More precisely, the risk appetite of funds has changed. The biggest misconception in this market cycle is still waiting for the "2021 knockoff season." Many people still have a classic bull market roadmap in mind: $BTC rise → $ET#CLARITY表决待定, SEC rules have not been implemented
Breaking news! CLARITY vote stalled, SEC meeting abruptly canceled on Friday
The highly anticipated "regulatory day" of August 14 changed — the SEC's crypto rule voting meeting was suddenly canceled, and the CLARITY bill failed to advance to a vote in the Senate.
Key Points:
• The probability of CLARITY bill being signed within the year has plummeted from 82% to 35%, with the voting window likely postponed to September
• The SEC's "startup exemption" proposal is also on hold, with a resumption date yet to be determined
• Innovation exemptions for stock tokenization have also been delayed due to concerns from Wall Street and the White House
The fundamental issue: The SEC wants to bypass Congress to loosen industry restrictions, but administrative rules lack legislative permanence, and a new government could be overthrown at any time. Without sufficient certainty, institutions dare not make a major move.
This is Washington's "stalling tactic." Congressional recesses, SEC extensions, and regulatory vacuums continue to lengthen.
Next, attention will be paid to the motion to vote after the Senate reopens on September 15, as well as the SEC's rescheduling timeline. Until then, the market is likely to continue trading in "uncertainty."The Erbian $ETH high-altitude positioning was successfully implemented ✅

今天这话题，老高直接给你拔到顶层逻辑。
Matt Hougan讲“从叙事到收入”，很多人当新闻看，阿浩当“独立宣言”看。
第一层：祛魅时刻，DeFi的“成人礼”
以前发个白皮书就能圈钱的时代彻底终结。2026年的今天，链上手续费就是项目的“造血能力”。Uniswap年化16亿刀的收入，这比多少A股上市公司都强？当市场开始用现金流折现模型给加密资产定价时，意味着这个行业被主流金融正式接纳了。这不是利空，这是合规化的“投名状”。ETH带着一众DeFi小弟，先一步上岸，进入了“盈利模式”。
第二层：BTC的“神格”，不可亵渎
但某些傻逼总想把BTC拽到“收入”的泥潭里去比较，纯属脑子有泡。
BTC根本不是什么“资产”，它是“信仰的具象化”，是“数学物理定律在金融界的投影”。
你用法币的秤去称BTC？那玩意儿能量吗？
黄金的市值靠什么支撑？靠“信任”和“稀缺”。BTC现在ETF资金流就是新时代的“铸币税”。连续净流入，价格就从62K干到65K，为什么？因为全球的聪明钱正在把BTC当“诺亚方舟的船票”。
第三层：法币崩塌处，BTC崛起时
当全球债务超400万亿，当各国央行在印钞机前裸奔。持有BTC，就是对冲人类贪婪的终极保险。
收入指标会让ETH们成为优秀的“成长股”，但只有BTC能成为“世界货币的压舱石”。
老高暴论：
往后看三年，ETH是“数字石油”，UNI是“数字收费站”，而BTC是“数字太阳”。太阳需要产生现金流吗？它本身就在发光发热，照亮整个加密宇宙。盯紧宏观，拿稳大饼，配置现金流资产，这波分化，老高带你吃透红利！

To see if a public chain project can go long-term, the token model is paramount. Setting aside the concept, let's look directly at the underlying output and distribution design of ACOs:
💎 Total Quantity Constant and Allocation Mechanism
The total supply of 1 billion ACOs is permanently constant, with no risk of unlimited oversupply.
55% Full-Network Ecosystem Mining: The vast majority of tokens are linearly generated through community node construction and full-scenario interaction, ensuring token decentralization.
🔥 Full-scenario destruct deflation
On-chain DEX trading gas, instant exchange fees, decentralized plaza feature unlocking, and live streaming tips all include token burning and collection mechanisms.
As ecosystem applications (RWA + social + live streaming) become more active, token deflation rates will dynamically accelerate, forming sustainable underlying value support.
Don't tell stories, just look at logic. Do you think this output-and-burn mechanism can support a long-term value loop?
#代币经济学 #Tokenomics #ACO公链 #DeFi #区块链 Stop calculating BTC's PE! The crypto valuation system is undergoing a "major tear," and you're still searching for a sword?
Brothers, the market is undergoing a quiet but deadly paradigm shift. Matt Hougan of Bitwise has pierced that glass:
In the past, the crypto world relied on the "market dream rate" and "talk market"; The future crypto world will depend on the "real money" flow.
1. Ragnarok of the Old Gods vs. Scepter of the New King
ETH and DeFi have finally become the "legitimate assets" Wall Street loves. In 2024, ETH ecosystem fees of $2.5 billion USD, Uniswap's monthly "toll fees" of $140 million—this is not air, it's cash flow. When the market started using DCF (discounted cash flow) to value Uniswap and Aave, it meant the crypto world had its first "valuation anchor." This was no longer a gamble battleground, but a testing ground for value investing. The combination of Pectra's upgrade and AI was the performance breakthrough point for these "rent collectors."
2. BTC: The Unconventional "Super Silicon-Based Species"
But be careful! If you try to use this "income model" to tell Da Bing's fortune, I can only say your plan is completely broken.
BTC exists on another dimension. It has no CEO, no cash flow, and no dividends. What is it? It is a put option on fiat credit collapse and the ultimate hard asset of digital civilization.
Global debt has surpassed 400 trillion, U.S. debt has climbed to 40 trillion, and now you're telling me BTC doesn't have "dividends"? Bro, gold doesn't have dividends either, so why don't you just throw away your gold bars?
3. The ultimate division of pricing power
The future script will definitely be "split pricing":
· For ETH, SOL, and DeFi blue chips: Open Excel and calculate your protocol revenue, capture rate, and P/E. You will enter the traditional fund's "stock pool."
· For BTC: Forget those complicated formulas. Keep an eye on the ETF's urinal (cash flow), the Federal Reserve's interest rates, and the allocation list of sovereign funds. BTC's pricing logic is the "global offshore reserve ratio."
Ahao's conclusion:
The watershed moment of this bull market has arrived! Previously, it was "ten thousand coins flying together," now it's "everyone goes home and finds their own mom." Embrace the "growth potential" of income-generating assets, while also the "ultimate avoidance" of heavy BTC holdings. Stop using hash power to calculate Bitcoin's PE; that will make you seem very unprofessional. Just do it!
