$BTC New spot sell orders from affiliated whales have been executed. Two high-scoring leaderboard wallets previously sold 35 BTC near 79.9k. At 19:53 UTC, one wallet placed another sell order at the same price of 15 BTC (about 1.20 million USD), and all were executed between 01:02 and 01:03 UTC. This round of distribution sold a total of 50 BTC, trading about 3.99 million USD, cashing out about 175.4k USD. At 01:20, the official double snapshots show that both still hold a total of 115 BTC, with 105 BTC and about 9.02 million USD still holding between 82.9k and 88.9k, showing no BTC perpetual hedge. Both are highly synchronized, resembling a cluster of linked wallets for continuous distribution, rather than two independent smart money consensus.The foundation is trembling. It's not an earthquake; it's the oil veins of the Strait of Hormuz twitching—each oil shipping route is like the steel reinforcement in the global inflation load-bearing wall. Last week, Brent rose 6.4%, WTI rose 5.7%. This is not an ordinary crack in the wall; it's the groan of a load-bearing wall under stress before fracturing.
I've been drawing supertall building blueprints for twenty years and know a fundamental rule: the wind and earthquake resistance of any skyscraper never lies in the dazzling design of the glass curtain wall but in the unseen underground piles and the core tube shear walls. The foundation raft of Bitcoin, this "crypto city," is precisely anchored on the US real interest rates and energy costs. When the wrench of US sanctions turns on Iranian crude oil exports, even affecting major trade partners, what you see is not just geopolitical paper games but a sudden change in the moisture content of the global energy foundation—it directly causes a redistribution of bending moments in the main beam of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions.
Tehran's warning—"Support is war"—is not diplomatic rhetoric; it's a load alarm most familiar to structural engineers. When one oil route is allowed case by case and another is blocked, this is not "reopening"; it's like applying lubricant to the pressure relief valve without actually opening it. The tension on the diesel end is a high-intensity load directly transmitted to consumer price lists, like suddenly concentrating wind pressure originally dispersed on the curtain wall onto a single slender column—once a plastic hinge forms at the column end, the lateral displacement curve of the entire asset building will be rewritten.
Looking deeper, if sanctions cause real supply losses and shipping restrictions persist, energy inflation will reprice the Federal Reserve's policy curve like high-temperature creep. The 10-year Treasury yield is the camber of the cantilever beam, gold is the damper buried deep below, and Bitcoin—this still-under-construction digital skyscraper—its foundation slab is tightly interlocked with the displacement response of this macro structure. You stare at the daily candlestick chart like looking at a rendering of the building's effect, forgetting that the real structural analysis reads wind tunnel tests and soil parameters.
So I say, the white paper is just a blueprint; architects look at load paths and redundancy. When oil tankers reroute, insurance costs soar, and geopolitical cracks penetrate downward, what you should check is not some moving average but whether the "inter-story drift angle" of the entire market exceeds limits.
The concrete of the core tube has already begun to spall. I'm more concerned about the welding temperature of the next steel beam. #iranoilriskescalates HYPE｜8/29 Unlock of 14,175,778 tokens (approximately $1.2 billion)
What needs to be noted: This is the largest single release since launch, with nearly half flowing to early investors. Reliable media reports state 14,175,778 tokens, accounting for 1.4% of total supply and about 2.7% of market cap; previous scans recorded "4.46% of circulation" and "6.43 million tokens" as two different figures, showing inconsistency between data panels. The actual on-chain received amount shall prevail. Verification action: On the unlock day, verify the official or actual on-chain release amount and track whether large transfers to exchanges occur within the following 48 hours.
ASTER｜8/25 Biweekly reserve burn (window today)
Based on a 14-day cycle, about 2.8 million tokens should be burned today (team share, burn address 0xa0ed…1b60). As of 8/11, a total of 188.87M tokens have been burned. Currently, no on-chain confirmation; considered pending verification. If executed as scheduled, it will strengthen the evidence chain of "platform revenue → buyback → burn"; if the amount is significantly lower than expected, it indicates the buyback-burn mechanism weakens with trading volume. Trump's return to the White House and the implementation of his policies are indeed the core catalysts for gold prices breaking through historical ceilings. From a macro perspective, this surge mostly belongs to the "market's passive repricing triggered by the spillover of aggressive policies," but it also implicitly contains the administration's active pursuit of a "weak dollar" and "low interest rates." Global Gold ETF Macro Totals and Capital Flows Global total holdings: approximately 4,068 tons (just a step away from the historical peak of 4,176 tons set at the beginning of 2026). Global total assets under management (AUM): approximately $530 billion - $615 billion. Characteristics of capital flows: 1. Passive uplift: the "risk aversion and anti-inflation wave" triggered by policy spillover effects The sharp rise in gold prices is mainly due to the market pricing in the macro side effects brought by Trump's policies: Secondary inflation expectations triggered by aggressive tariffs: The Tax Foundation's tariff tracking report points out that the comprehensive tariffs imposed by Trump on global trade partners have significantly raised the cost of imported goods. The market expects inflation stickiness to rebound, and gold, as a core asset against inflation and purchasing power dilution, continues to be heavily bought. Expansion of fiscal deficits and scrutiny of U.S. debt credit: The tax cut bill combined with massive fiscal spending has further driven up the scale of U.S. sovereign debt. Market concerns about fiat currency dilution and U.S. credit ratings have intensified, pushing sovereign funds and private capital toward physical gold, which has no counterparty risk. Forcing global central banks to accelerate "de-dollarization": According to McGill BusinBTC leads, altcoins are on hold
$BTC is approaching $80,000, while $ETH remains around $2,500. However, $LAB, $BEAT, $H, and $KAITO are basically stagnant. This divergence indicates that funds are still concentrated on market leaders rather than broadly flowing into altcoins. The US spot BTC and ETH ETFs attract about $2.6 billion in weekly inflows, reinforcing institutional demand.
The key signal now is whether liquidity will extend beyond $BTC and $ETH. Until then, selective altcoin strength is more likely than a broad altcoin season The Ministry of Finance is expanding the scale of government bond repos to inject implicit liquidity, with macro spillover funds currently absorbing high-level volatility.
The 30-year US Treasury yield fell by 9 basis points, and the derivatives market cleared over $5 billion in shorts within three days, pushing up $BTC spot prices.
After the repo scale doubled to at least $4 billion on September 9, if spot funds continue to flow in net, the premium will persist as the long-end yield spread narrows.
Watch for the 30-year US Treasury yield to break above 5.19% again and a significant decline in derivatives positions as a signal of liquidity logic failure.
#阿里配股加码AI，回报能否覆盖稀释？ #特朗普披露千笔证券交易，透明度受关注The rally is supported by strong spot ETF demand, renewed institutional buying, and heavy short liquidations. U.S. spot $BTC ETFs attracted $1.92B last week, while $ETH ETFs added $697M. Short covering amplified the move, while improved liquidity, Treasury buybacks, and a friendlier regulatory outlook strengthened risk appetite. With spot demand absorbing selling pressure, pullbacks have remained shallow. BTC has a similar story.
As BTC rose from about $77,000 to $80,000, the spot CVD jumped from 169,400 to 206,400, indicating approximately 37,000 net Bitcoin buyers.
Afterwards, the Bitcoin price fell back to around $78,600, but the spot CVD only dropped to 198,400.
Therefore, the price has retraced nearly half of its gains, while the spot CVD retained about 80% of the net buying.
Meanwhile, the OI has declined, funding has cooled significantly, and remains neutral.
Once again, a large amount of spot buying still exists, while leverage has been flushed out. BTC surged about 24% last week, but Strategy didn't buy a single one.
What's even more unusual is that it sold about $2 billion worth of MSTR stock when the market was rising, but didn't immediately convert the money into BTC. Instead, it first built a $1.59 billion cash pool.
This doesn't mean Saylor suddenly turned bearish on BTC.
It's more like Strategy is starting to keep a backup plan: financing when the market is good, holding cash in hand, so later it can buy BTC, repurchase stock, pay interest, and dividends.
The market used to focus on "how much BTC Strategy bought this week," but this approach is changing now.
The next real thing to watch is when this $1.59 billion starts moving. $BTC $BTC & $ETH : IS HISTORY ECHOING AGAIN?
In 2022, $BTC fell to $17.7K in June, rallied sharply, then retested lows near $15.8K. $ETH followed a similar path.
In 2026, $BTC has again rebounded strongly from below $60K toward $80K, while $ETH recovered above $2.4K. But this cycle has a major difference: institutional demand is returning through spot ETFs, with recent weekly inflows approaching $2B for Bitcoin and nearly $700M for Ethereum.
Is this a real cycle bottom—or another relief rally? Calling RWA a pie in the sky, Coinbase directly put it on the table.
Coinbase launched tokenized stocks on the Base network, initially supporting Apple and Nvidia. The tokens are based on the B20 standard, held 1:1 by a regulated custodian, granting holders full ownership; institutional market makers buy as authorized participants and then hand over custody to the regulated broker Alpaca, using a bankruptcy-isolated structure regulated by the Abu Dhabi Global Market. Users can hold tokens in self-custody wallets, obtain liquidity on Aerodrome, and access the Base DeFi ecosystem for lending, pooling, and staking, with dividend support. The B20 standard extends ERC-20, requiring no whitelist or platform lock, with dividends and splits handled on-chain via multipliers.
This is a bullish development. It represents a substantive breakthrough for RWA tokenization within a compliant framework—Coinbase chose to issue natively on its own L2, directly injecting real-world asset liquidity and use cases into the Base ecosystem. This is a clear incremental signal for Base’s on-chain TVL and DeFi protocols like Aerodrome, further strengthening the RWA narrative. In the short term, it does not directly point to a single crypto token trading opportunity, but the Base ecosystem and RWA concept are worth tracking for sentiment diffusion. The real variables lie in whether tokenized US stocks can attract sufficient liquidity and lending demand, and the speed of subsequent asset expansion.

#AAPL #NVDA #Crypto100W On August 21, Solana mainnet reduced the target slot time from 400 milliseconds to 350 milliseconds; the Solana Foundation subsequently confirmed in a developer update that the mainnet feature gate was enabled. To clarify the timeline: the network change occurred on August 21, and The Block published an independent observation on August 22, not that the upgrade was completed on August 25. More importantly, 200 milliseconds remains a future target; the current mainnet has not directly dropped to 200 milliseconds. A slot is the designated time window for validators to produce blocks. 350 milliseconds is 12.5% shorter than the original target, theoretically increasing the number of slots per second by about 14.3%. The Block sampled 1,000 slots before and after the upgrade: previously it took about 415 seconds, afterward about 368 seconds. This sample supports a latency reduction but cannot replace long-term operational data. Calculating with a fixed 432,000 slots per epoch, the ideal duration would shorten from about 48 hours to about 42 hours; the window where a validator is consecutively responsible for 4 slots also shrinks from 1.6 seconds to 1.4 seconds. For ordinary users, the most direct impact is that the wall-clock time required for transactions to be packaged and reach the confirmation threshold counted by slots may shorten, enabling faster on-chain transactions and state updates for high-frequency applications. The validator's exclusive ordering window is also shorter, which may reduce latency or the space for transaction reordering. However, three misunderstandings should be avoided. First, denser slots do not automatically mean a 14.3% increase in TPS; each slo #卡什卡利称美债未失灵，长债回购能否治本？
Recently, pressure in the US Treasury market has clearly increased, with long-term yields continuously rising, but Kashkari believes that the US Treasury market is not currently "malfunctioning," and trading and liquidity remain normal.
The issue is not actually the rise in yields, but that the US fiscal deficit and debt scale are continuously expanding, while the market's willingness to absorb long-term debt has not increased correspondingly, so investors naturally demand higher yields.
To ease the pressure, the US Treasury has started expanding the scale of long-term debt repurchases, raising single repurchase amounts to at least $4 billion. Simply put, this means improving liquidity by repurchasing some of the outstanding bonds to cool down long-term yields.
In the short term, this method is indeed effective, and US Treasury yields have seen some decline.
But my view is that repurchases can "stop the bleeding" but are hard to "cure the root cause." The US Treasury market is too large, and repurchases of tens of billions of dollars are unlikely to change overall supply and demand. What truly determines long-term yields are the fiscal deficit, debt issuance, inflation expectations, and the Federal Reserve's future interest rate path.
Therefore, going forward, I am more focused on whether the 30-year US Treasury yield can return below 5%. If high interest rates persist long-term, not only will US Treasuries be under pressure, but high-valuation tech stocks, real estate, and highly leveraged assets will also be affected.
Ultimately, the real risk for US Treasuries is not whether repurchases can save them, but whether the market is still willing to pay the current prices over the long term. $MSTR
BTC rose more than 20% this week, and the one who should be most excited is actually Strategy.
This is quite interesting.
As of August 23, Strategy still holds 840,400 BTC, with an average cost of about $75,400; but this week, as BTC surged, they did not continue to buy. (Securities and Exchange Commission)
Instead, they did another thing:
Sold about 18.26 million shares of MSTR, raising about $2 billion, while increasing their USD reserves to $5.1 billion and additionally establishing $1.59 billion in USD Cash. (Yahoo Finance)
So now when I look at MSTR, the real question isn’t:
“How much more can MSTR rise if BTC breaks $80,000?”
But rather:
Even Saylor, who loves buying BTC the most, chose to hold cash first this week.
Of course, this doesn’t mean he is bearish on BTC.
But at least it shows that Strategy now values liquidity more, rather than continuing to buy regardless of price.
The higher BTC rises, the greater the potential for MSTR.
But if even Saylor isn’t in a hurry to chase,
I think retail investors have even less reason to rush in out of FOMO.
#BTC冲高后震荡，ETF资金持续流入 #BTC consolidates after a rally, ETF funds continue to flow in #ETH consolidates after reaching $2500 Good morning everyone!
$BTC BTC Bitcoin
The current market core driver is the US election policy expectations combined with marginal liquidity easing. BTC, as the market's ballast stone, this round of rebound is more about institutional funds speculating on crypto-friendly policies. After the price rebound, spot ETFs shifted from outflows to slight net inflows, and short positions in the market were significantly covered, pushing the price upward.
Fundamentally, the narrative remains digital gold with unchanged total supply deflation logic, but there is no operating cash flow. In the short term, historical trapped positions accumulate above; continuing to push higher requires sustained incremental funds. Once policy benefits fail to materialize or US Treasury yields rebound, a rapid correction is likely. BTC's volatility is relatively milder compared to the other two assets and serves as the crypto market's barometer; the overall market's rise and fall is basically led by BTC.
$ETH ETH Ethereum
This round is a lagging catch-up rally, with stronger beta characteristics than BTC. Benefiting from warming regulatory expectations, DeFi and on-chain activity have slightly recovered, and the staking pool proportion remains high. However, the L2 ecosystem continues to divert mainnet traffic, and mainnet fee revenue has not risen correspondingly; fundamental improvements are limited.
Technically, ETH's gains have outpaced BTC, but its retracement during pullbacks is also larger. Market leverage derivative positions have increased, raising short-term liquidation risks. The biggest uncertainty remains the US SEC's classification of Ethereum as a security; if classified negatively, it will directly suppress valuation.
$TRUMP Trump Coin TRUMP
A purely sentiment-driven MEME coin with no technical implementation or real business value; its price is entirely tied to news heat about Trump. Recently, it experienced a pulse surge due to crypto policy optimism, with extremely high concentration of holdings and large holders dominating positions.
This coin's logic is completely disconnected from BTC and ETH; it does not follow on-chain fundamentals but only public opinion heat. After pulse surges, selling pressure is huge; when the heat fades, it quickly crashes. Liquidity is fragile, prone to sharp flash crashes, making it a high-risk speculative asset with no long-term holding logic.
The current overall market is a rebound driven by expectations, not a fundamental reversal. Going forward, focus on the progress of US crypto legislation and changes in inflation data.$BTC and $ETH: Why did this rebound avoid a sharp correction?
This rebound benefited from strong spot ETF demand, the return of institutional buying, and a large amount of short covering. The US spot $BTC ETF attracted $1.92 billion last week, while the $ETH ETF added $697 million.
Short covering amplified the rally, while improved liquidity, Treasury repos, and a more favorable regulatory outlook boosted risk appetite.
Because spot demand absorbed selling pressure, the correction remained shallow. BTC and ETH are rising, while altcoins remain differentiated
$BTC reached $79.5K, $ETH surpassed $2.5K, but $H, $LAB, $KAITO, $BEAT, and $SNDK remain weak. Capital continues to favor large-cap assets, while altcoins face liquidity shortages, weakened spot demand, and supply pressure on specific tokens. BTC and ETH ETFs attracted about $2.6 billion in weekly inflows, reinforcing preference for market leaders. The current situation shows capital is rotating selectively rather than a broad altcoin season. Daytime high was 102.80, now 101.73. In the past six months, about 119 trading days have closed below 100—not just any random round. Up about 32% in 7 days, +2 points more than ETH and +9 points higher than BTC. Leading the gains. Spot trading is about $190 million in one day (1.4 times average volume), perpetual positions about 300 million (7 days +32%), fee rate +0.01%. Volume has returned, leverage isn't crazy. More like spot trading passes, less like the end of a short squeeze. But touching it doesn't mean it has stabilized. The yellow line is the half-year box top. Touching and stabilizing are two different things. Slightly stronger than ETH and clearly stronger than BTC, that's why it's worth focusing on the 100-dollar mark. If you're just following the rally, there's no need to write this article. Light rates are a good thing. The real concern is that OI keeps surging but the price can't move—leverage is piling up near the level. If the daily chart stabilizes at $100, it's a real breakout to observe. If it can't pull back and falls back to $95, consider it a false breakout. If volume surpasses $105, then watch $113. If it breaks $88, the logic of the box top is broken. Not chasing the 102.80 candle tonight. Are you betting on the daily chart stabilizing at 100, or a rally and pullback? $SOL #BTC冲高后震荡, ETF funds keep flowing into #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 DO ETF FLOWS HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO PUSH $BTC AND $ETH HIGHER?
Institutional demand is sending a stronger signal. From August 17–21, U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracted roughly $2.62B combined: $1.92B into $BTC ETFs and $697.18M into $ETH ETFs, their strongest combined week since October 2025. On August 21 alone, flows reached $492M, with $307M into Bitcoin ETFs and $185M into Ethereum ETFs.
This supports the bullish trend, but sustained inflows remain crucial for the next breakout. BTC touched 80000, but essentially it's still driven by sentiment, not liquidity.
Over the weekend, that spike attracted 179,000 people, contract open interest sharply dropped, and after the shorts were cleared out, the resistance to the pump was indeed reduced. But if you really look at the on-chain data—stablecoin inflows didn't keep up, and USDT's total market cap barely increased over the past week. What does this mean? It means this pump was supported by existing on-exchange funds leveraging up, not by new off-exchange money coming in. When the US stock market opens tomorrow morning, if the Nasdaq doesn't cooperate, BTC could fall back from 80000 to 78000 in minutes. My strategy remains unchanged: don't chase, place a long order at 78500 and wait to catch it.
Ethereum at 2500 is indeed fragile, but let me remind you—the exchange rate hasn't moved much during this pump.
The gains are extremely limited, indicating BTC is leading the rally, and ETH is passively following, not actively strengthening. To confirm an independent ETH rally, the exchange rate needs to break through 0.034 at least. I placed a long order at 0.0328, betting on the exchange rate catching up; going long on ETH spot directly isn't as cost-effective.
Regarding BICO and Hynix, I'll give you four words: weak trend, no bottom talk.
Sideways for two weeks, it's not building a bottom, it's just no one is playing. The storage sector is overall having valuations cut; Hynix's fundamentals are fine, but short-term funds aren't in this sector, so set tight stop losses on strategy positions. BNB and OKB strengthening is indeed a good sign; platform tokens usually represent leading smart money, and their buying indicates smart money is positioning on-exchange.
Don't treat the US stock market as a reverse indicator, and don't be blindly optimistic. The path from 80,000 to 100,000 won't be easier than from 60,000 to 80,000 BlackRock again transferred over 2800 BTC and 6500 ETH from Coinbase into wallets like IBIT/ETHA, totaling about $240 million.
This is not a sell-off, but a routine operation accumulating for ETF subscriptions. August marks the second large-scale BTC withdrawal, with BTC's proportion far exceeding ETH.
Institutional channels are still accumulating, especially BTC. Short-term sentiment is positive, and long-term supply remains continuously locked.BTC 08｜Morning Report on the 25th
My judgment on BTC this morning is very simple:
The bulls still have the advantage, but 80K is no longer just a simple technical resistance level; it is a direct confrontation between ETF funds and the US Treasury bond market.
On Monday, BTC once again approached $79,000, with Reuters recording prices around $78,993, a single-day increase of about 2.05%. Last week, BTC rose more than 20%, and now it is just a small step away from 80K.
① ETF: Still the strongest bullish logic at present
The previous rise can be said to have involved a short squeeze, but whether the price can continue to rise after reaching 78K–79K depends on real spot funds.
So my current logic is:
ETF continues to flow in → 80K has a chance to truly break through.
ETF clearly cools down + OI/funding continues to rise → be cautious of high-level deleveraging.
② US Treasury Bonds: I believe this is the biggest risk at present
After the US Treasury expanded long-term bond buybacks, the market is even discussing using nearly $1 trillion in TGA funds to support bond repurchases.
In the short term, this may suppress long-term yields, which is beneficial for BTC, gold, and risk assets.
But looking at it from another angle is also very interesting:
The more the Treasury needs to intervene, the more it indicates that the problems with long-term US bonds have not been truly resolved.Has the altcoin rotation arrived? — Keep an eye on this "Three-Step Confirmation Method"!
Current situation: Mainstream stable, altcoins differentiated, rotation not yet fully underway
BTC and ETH remain strong, with ETFs attracting about $2.6 billion last week, showing a clear improvement in liquidity conditions. The stage is set for large caps, but funds have not fully flowed into altcoins — currently, it looks more like selective rotation rather than a broad altcoin season. Most altcoins still face liquidity shortages and weak spot demand.
🔍 The "Three-Step Confirmation Method" to judge altcoin rotation:
A true altcoin season requires three steps: BTC stabilizes its structure → ETH strengthens confirming capital outflow → SOL/XRP and others lead with volume. Only after these three steps are completed does it become altcoins' time to shine.
A single-day surge of 15% might be noise; the real signal is sustained relative strength + increased trading volume + liquidity expansion. We are currently transitioning from step two to step three, still one step away from confirmation.
📊 How to allocate altcoins?
Big picture: BTC → ETH → large-cap altcoins (SOL/XRP) → sector leaders (LINK/AAVE/ONDO/TAO) → high-beta small caps. Mainstream stability is the premise; watch for sector rotation signals, don’t chase single-day spikes.
We are currently in a "BTC sets the stage, some altcoins test the waters" phase — not yet a full bullish altcoin market, but the seeds of rotation are planted. Be patient before the three-step confirmation, then follow decisively.
$BTC $ETH Bitcoin has risen about 23% over the past week, surging from around $63,000 to $80,000, with market sentiment visibly warming up. But there is a question worth serious consideration: will rising prices attract more people to participate in the market? $BTC A working paper released by the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank in July this year answers this question perfectly. The study was based on a replicated large-scale survey of about 25,000 American households. The study found that the biggest difference between crypto holders and non-holders is not age, gender, or income, but their expectations of returns. In other words, whether a person buys Bitcoin mainly depends on how much Bitcoin they believe it can rise, not on their age or how much money they make. Of course, demographic characteristics also have an impact, but the returns are far below expectations. To verify whether this expectation can truly be changed by price performance, the researchers designed a random information experiment. In the second quarter of 2025, they randomly divided participants into several groups and gave different information. One group was told that Bitcoin had risen 14.3% over the past 12 months, another group saw Bitcoin price charts, and the control group received S&P 500, GameStop, or inflation information, or nothing extra. Participants who were informed of specific returns had 3.2% higher expectations for crypto returns in the coming year than the control group. Looking at the chart, expectations were also about 1.2% higher. Expectations have changed, and so have the configurations. The proportion of Bitcoin information groups wanting to allocate to crypto assets increased by about 2% from an average of 4.3% in the control group, nearly increasing the number of participantsBTC is approaching $80,000, and companies continue to buy
After the recent surge in BTC, a notable change is that corporate demand for BTC has not stopped. Strive recently disclosed that between August 17 and 21, it purchased another 1,110 BTC, spending about $81.5 million, with an average cost of approximately $73,409. Its current holdings have reached 21,356 BTC.
What is even more noteworthy is that Strive is not simply buying BTC with cash but is financing through issuing common and preferred shares, then allocating the funds to BTC. This actually represents an increasingly clear trend: publicly listed companies are turning BTC from a "trading asset" into a long-term allocation on their balance sheets.
Of course, this model also involves financing costs and equity dilution risks, so what truly matters is not how much BTC a company holds, but whether the BTC per share continues to grow. As BTC enters corporate capital structures, its demand sources are becoming increasingly diversified.Fidelity is advancing ETH and SOL ETFs from "only tracking coin price fluctuations" to "holding can also generate yield."
FETH has already modified the fund-related agreements for ETH staking; for SOL, FSOL can normally stake up to 100% of SOL, and the rewards generated continue to flow back into the fund.
This is easy for ordinary investors to understand: previously, buying ETFs mainly profited from coin price increases, but now staking yields on-chain can also be incorporated into traditional financial products.
This development is more significant for ETH and SOL than simply having another ETF—once institutions buy in, these coins start to have the asset attribute of "holding can also generate income."
However, staking is not free money; exit waiting periods, slashing risks, and service fees will consume part of the returns.
If this model is replicated by more Wall Street asset managers, the next round of ETF competition may not only be about who has the lowest fees but also about who can deliver on-chain yields to investors. $ETH $SOL 🚨 Latest update on August 25:
Today, a very important "cooling factor" has emerged
DeepSWE 80%
"Defeats GPT-5.6 / Claude"
This widely spread figure can no longer be taken as a confirmed fact.
The latest reports indicate that the initial 80% result was from a very small sample test; subsequent larger-scale tests yielded results around 63%, so it cannot be simply said that it "crushed GPT-5.6."
This means:
Ox Alpha is still very strong
But:
The narrative of a "globally invincible model" has been weakened.
This is a slight cooling on the short-term sentiment level.
On the other hand, there is a very impressive data point
Real usage. On OpenRouter, the Ox Alpha page now shows it being called by a large number of Agent/Coding tools:
* Hermes Agent: 3.35T tokens
* Claude Code: 1.65T
* DeepSeek Harness: 1.38T
* omp: 1.06T
* pi: 526B
In other words:
Ox Alpha is not just media hype; it is indeed heavily used by real developers.
This is very important to me.
Because what truly matters is not:
Benchmark 80%
but:
Global developers are willing to actually use it for real work. 1. Last Week's Market Review: Violent Surge + Violent Shakeout
From August 17 to 24, Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced a rare "surge-crash-recovery" trilogy.
Surge Phase: Bitcoin soared from about $62,000 to a high of $79,500, a weekly increase of 23.6%, marking the strongest weekly gain since March 2023; Ethereum surged from about $1,900 to above $2,520, with a weekly gain of 31.3%. The driving force was U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's announcement to double the single long-term Treasury repurchase size from $20 billion to $40 billion, lowering U.S. bond yields and weakening the dollar, igniting risk asset rallies. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.92 billion last week, the largest single-week record in nearly 10 months.
Flash Crash Phase: On August 22-23, hit by concentrated profit-taking and geopolitical tensions, cryptocurrencies collectively plunged. Bitcoin dropped 2.40% to $76,600, Ethereum fell 5.29% to $2,383. Nearly 180,000 traders were liquidated globally, with liquidations totaling $882 million, over 80% of which were long positions — exactly the "sharp drop" you personally experienced.
Recovery Phase: After the flash crash, buying quickly returned. By August 25, Bitcoin rebounded to about $78,900, once approaching $79,891 intraday; Ethereum recovered to about $2,495, with a weekly gain of 31%.
2. Current Market: High-level Volatility, $80,000 Level in Focus
Price Status (as of August 25):
· Bitcoin: about $78,900, up about 1.6% in 24 hours
· Ethereum: about $2,495, up about 2.6% in 24 hours
Market Sentiment: Fear and Greed Index rose to 81 (extreme greed), indicating clear short-term overheating signals.

Bitcoin $80,000 (key psychological level, tested twice but not broken); $79,500 (short-term resistance) $78,400 (first support); $68,000-$73,000 (core support zone)
Ethereum $2,500-$2,541 (strong resistance zone) $2,402 (first support); $2,345 (core support, coincides with 7-day moving average)
Technical Signals: Bitcoin RSI at 70.85 indicates overbought, MACD shows a death cross; Ethereum RSI is as high as 78.57, Bollinger Bands hugging the upper band. Short-term overbought signals are clear, with a higher probability of a pullback.
3. Future Outlook: Three Scenarios
Scenario 1 (Most Likely): High-level consolidation, trading time for space
BTC oscillates repeatedly between $77,000-$80,000, ETH fluctuates between $2,350-$2,550. Buying quickly enters on pullbacks, but selling pressure at $80,000 is heavy. This "stuck in the middle" pattern may continue until after this week's Jackson Hole Symposium and U.S. PCE inflation data release.
Scenario 2 (Low Probability): Breakout with volume, starting the second wave
If BTC breaks and holds above $80,000 with volume and ETH breaks above $2,541, bulls may push toward higher targets. Analysts expect Bitcoin's year-end target to be $100,000-$126,000; if Ethereum breaks $3,000, it could aim above $5,000.
Scenario 3 (Moderate Probability): Deep pullback and shakeout
If PCE data exceeds expectations or Fed speeches turn hawkish, BTC may retest the $73,000-$68,000 support zone; ETH may retest $2,345 or even $2,140-$2,200. The Bitget CEO even suggests a possible drop near $50,000.
4. Trading Advice (Remember our mantra)
"Sideways wait, no gambling; breakout follow-up, fast and precise; five times small waves repeatedly; pocket profits to secure capital is the truth!"
1. In the current sideways phase, stay still: When BTC oscillates between $77,000-$80,000 and ETH between $2,350-$2,550, do not enter to bet on direction. Wait for clear breakout or breakdown signals before acting.
2. Follow the breakout: Chase longs only after volume-backed hold above $80,000 (BTC) or $2,540 (ETH); if volume-backed break below $78,400 (BTC) or $2,400 (ETH) occurs, then watch or lightly short.
3. Keep leverage at 3-5x: With current volatility, 50x leverage can liquidate you with just a 4% pullback.
4. Focus on August 26-28: Volatility will spike around PCE data and Jackson Hole Symposium; either stay out or strictly use stop losses.
Final note: The big picture is intact, but a decent short-term pullback is needed to digest overbought conditions. Survive this volatility, and you can catch the next major uptrend. 🫂
⚠️ The above analysis is based on public market data and does not constitute any investment advice. Markets carry risks; invest cautiously. $ZHIPU 🚨 Latest update as of August 25
1. Biggest change: Ox Alpha still unclaimed
This is currently the most important conclusion.
2. But the "GLM fingerprint" evidence is actually stronger today.
Community developers continue to perform reverse analysis through:
Tokenizer + API errors + stack trace + behavioral characteristics
The latest round of analysis suggests Ox Alpha's tokenizer highly matches GLM-5.3, and error paths, error formats, etc., also show GLM system features.
Additionally, developers deliberately sent erroneous API requests and observed similar:
paas/v4/chat
path features, which are considered consistent with Zhipu's backend system.
So my current judgment:
Probability that Ox Alpha belongs to the GLM system: ↑
But:
It is still not 100% confirmed that Ox Alpha is Zhipu's official next-generation model.
These two must be separated. Those who bought $HYPE at $58, what are they doing now?
HYPE is already at 82. A friend of mine, who had dinner with me last week when it was at 59, said he had staked a batch, and at that time his wife scolded him, saying "Buying this is worse than buying furniture."
It rose 39% in a week, and he didn’t celebrate tonight; instead, he asked me: should I sell all?
I told him to first think about why he bought it initially. His logic back then was: Hyperliquid is the on-chain perpetual leader, the fee buyback mechanism is the cleanest in DeFi, and the platform’s trading volume is still growing. Have these changed? No, they haven’t; in fact, they’ve gotten stronger — the market exploded in August, and the platform’s revenue rose accordingly.
But one thing has changed: the price. At $59, no one priced in these advantages; at $82, just a step away from the all-time high, all the advantages are reflected in the candlestick chart. Moreover, 9.92 million tokens are unlocking monthly, which at the current price represents over $700 million in potential selling pressure. The buyback can hold this month, but what about next month?
My advice to him was simple: if the reasons to hold still stand, keep holding, but don’t mistake unrealized gains for skill. He ended up selling 30%, saying "to earn some peace of mind."
I think this is right. The fundamentals of $HYPE are indeed solid, but no matter how strong a coin is, after a 39% rise in a week, it needs a break. Those who sell might not admit it, but those who know how to take profits can at least sleep well. The remaining position lets the market prove itself for them.
#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 Data as of August 25, 2026 | Current price about 79,900 (OKX) 📊 Current status: Bitcoin is experiencing the most dramatic turning point of the year: • Weekly surge of 24% (August 19-24, 79,400), largest weekly gain since March 2024 • Touched $80,000 intraday on August 24, the highest since May 15 • But note: current price is still about 126,000 lower than the opening in 2026 (~), with a drawdown of nearly 40% In short: Violent rebound in a bear market, trend reversal yet unconfirmed. 🔥 The triple engine behind this rally 1. Treasury buyback expansion (trigger)
On August 19, the U.S. Treasury announced a doubling of long-term Treasury repurchase (at least 4 billion each time, effective from September 9). The 30-year Treasury yield fell, the dollar weakened, and risk assets collectively kicked off—BTC directly broke through 69K 2. Epic short squeeze (amplifier)
Weekly liquidations exceeded 100 million, monthly and daily hourly liquidations reached 1.3 billion+ yuan, setting the largest single-day short liquidation record in BTC history, with over 170,000 liquidations (90% of them short) 3. ETF Capital Inflow (Fuel)
The US spot BTC ETF saw a weekly net inflow of **00 million, the strongest since the month, with net inflows for four consecutive trading days, and a single-day net inflow of 600 million+ 🎯 at key price levels. Resistance: The price level is currently strong at 80,000, but has not broken through 82.0 after multiple attempts$ZHIPU 🚨 Latest update as of August 25
1. Biggest change: Ox Alpha still unclaimed
This is currently the most important conclusion.
As of today, the official OpenRouter page still clearly states:
Ox Alpha = anonymous third-party provider
And the page still shows:
* Free
* 1,048,576 Token context
* Text + images + video
* Supports Tool Calling
* Released on August 20, 2026
No official identity confirmation from Z.ai, Zhipu, or GLM.
So:
There is no official confirmation today that “Ox Alpha = Zhipu.”
⸻
2. But the “GLM fingerprint” evidence is actually stronger today
This is the most valuable new development for you today.
Community developers continue to reverse engineer through:
Tokenizer + API errors + stack trace + behavioral characteristics
The latest round of analysis suggests Ox Alpha’s tokenizer highly matches GLM-5.3, and error paths, error formats, etc., also show GLM system features. #ZHIPUThe 10-year US Treasury yield surged to 4.7% simultaneously with the weakening of the dollar, and the debt premium is exerting valuation pressure on storage tech stocks like $SNDK.
The 10-year yield hitting 4.7% coincided with the dollar weakening; the surge in long-term rates is driven by massive fiscal deficits and an oversupply of government bonds, reflecting that capital is demanding higher compensation for debt risk.
Cross-market linkage shows that debt risk pricing carries the highest weight, gold absorbs safe-haven liquidity, while the high yield directly raises the discount rate, outweighing the exchange gains from the dollar's decline.
The rebound scenario depends on the long-term US Treasury yield falling below 4.5%. If the Treasury's bond repurchase on September 9 is sufficient, the decline in long-term rates will lift the valuation alert and drive recovery in the storage sector.
The decline scenario occurs if the repurchase effect falls short of expectations and long-term yields remain above 4.7%. If the debt risk premium persists, valuation clearance will accelerate, pushing the $SNDK target down toward the 1000 level.
If the 2-year short-term yield starts to rise sharply, it indicates the market is shifting toward rate hike expectations, and the debt premium scenario will fail.
The core focus over the next 7 days is the battle for the 10-year US Treasury yield around the 4.5% level and the actual execution details of the Treasury bond repurchase announcement on September 9.
#三星股东回报落地，最高约800亿美元 #Anthropic拟8月底公开IPO文件，募资或追平SpaceX #黄金突破4600美元，债券避险地位受挑战After Bitcoin's surge: Institutional funds are changing the crypto market
Recently, Bitcoin rebounded rapidly, once approaching $80,000, marking the largest single-week dollar gain in history. Meanwhile, BTC and ETH ETFs have seen massive capital inflows, indicating that institutional investors are refocusing on crypto assets.
This rally differs from past increases driven purely by retail sentiment. Expectations of liquidity from U.S. Treasury repos, improved regulatory environment, and institutional capital returning have collectively boosted market risk appetite.
More importantly, institutions are gradually viewing Bitcoin as a long-term digital asset allocation rather than just a short-term trading tool.
If ETF capital inflows continue, the crypto market may enter a new phase: price increases will no longer be driven solely by sentiment but increasingly by institutional allocation and financial infrastructure.
In the future, whether Bitcoin can continue to rise is certainly important, but what deserves more attention is whether institutional funds can form a sustained inflow. Agent Payments: From "Able to Pay" to "Authorized to Pay"
According to Decrypt, Google has released an open-source protocol for agent payments as an extension of Agent2Agent, incorporating the x402 encrypted payment extension. The AP2 documentation points out that after an autonomous agent initiates a payment, authorization, authenticity, and responsibility all need to be reconsidered.
According to the Solana Foundation, x402 enables agents to discover resources, understand prices, and make instant payments; according to the AP2 documentation, trust should be anchored in verifiable user intent rather than inferred from agent behavior.
x402 provides the payment track, while AP2 handles authorization and responsibility. The real focus is not whether the payment succeeds, but whether authorization, budget boundaries, and responsibility boundaries can be verified.
#AI #Web3 #MPC #AgenticPayments #x402 #AP2$HYPE: Buy on pullback
Or short-term "high-level test short," chasing the rally carries significant risk.
Currently, HYPE is in a high-level consolidation phase. Due to excessive futures positioning, a sharp shakeout may occur in the short term.
📊 Core basis
· Cooling of crowded longs and appearance of profit-taking: funding rates plunged 51.8% within three days, and a large holder placed a $58 million sell order (mainly in the $92-100 range) preparing to unload at high levels.
The largest on-chain long has unrealized profits exceeding $56.5 million but has paid $5.03 million in funding fees, continuously eroding costs.
· Weekly momentum divergence: price broke through $83 to a new high, but the RSI indicator is lower than the previous rally, indicating weakening upward momentum.
· Previous setback and digestion of positive news: profit-taking at $83-84 caused rejection of further advances. Additionally, the big surge driven by the White House compliance boost on August 19 may have overly exhausted the bulls.
⚠️ Risk factors
· Institutional shorting: Wintermute currently holds about $5.7 million in HYPE short positions. As a top market maker, their actions are an important reference for market risk appetite.
· Shakeout risk: high-level consolidation accompanied by a surge in open interest can trigger concentrated long liquidations. It is recommended to closely watch whether the $77-78 support (breakthrough support) holds; if broken, further pullbacks should be guarded against. To the upside, price must stabilize above $84 to confirm price discovery.
#杰克逊霍尔临近，沃什能否明确政策路径 SPCX fell from 225 to 104, then rebounded to 149, now at 135. In half a year, it has gone through two waves of extreme market moves. Some made profits, some got stuck, and some are waiting. Today, instead of discussing candlesticks, let's talk about three questions: 1. How much is SpaceX really worth? Market cap is 1.77 trillion USD. What does that mean? It's among the top ten listed companies globally, higher than Tesla, lower than Meta. Nvidia, Google, and Amazon are all its deep partners. Its business model has three layers: · Launch services — Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Starship, with over 60% global market share · Satellite internet — Starlink, covering 100+ countries, with stable cash flow · AI infrastructure — SpaceXAI, accelerating Agentic AI with Nvidia Vera CPU, representing a new growth curve Each layer can be valued independently; combined, the 1.77 trillion valuation is not just hype. But Wall Street's reasonable valuation range is 104-225, a huge span. Why? Because the market is uncertain whether it is an "aerospace company," an "AI company," or an "infrastructure company" — three different valuation systems with PE ratios differing by three times. 2. Why is it falling now? The fundamentals haven't changed; what's falling is sentiment. · Unlocking: 911 million shares unlocked on August 6, and another 319 million shares unlocked on August 20, causing short-term supply shock · Profit-taking: The rise from 104 to 149 was 43%, some chose to cash out · Market divergence: The long-short ratio dropped from 2.93 to 2. Brothers, through observing Bitcoin's weekly chart, I believe the current price has just reached the historical resistance level of the bear market rebound. In past trends, after touching this range, the following week generally saw a pullback. $BTC $ETH
But this round is different: previous rebounds mainly relied on on-exchange funds' speculation, whereas now a large amount of off-exchange incremental funds are entering through ETFs. Large net inflows from institutions like BlackRock last week are a situation not seen in previous rebounds. Coupled with weakening US Treasury bonds and the dollar, market expectations for rate cuts, and the "digital gold" logic, the macro background has changed, so whether it can break upward remains uncertain.
Technically, the weekly RSI is at 68, not yet in severe overbought territory. If it breaks out with volume, it could target 85,000–88,000; if the weekly candle closes below 74,000, it will likely replay the past correction pattern.
Personally, I lean bullish but do not choose to add positions now. There might be a small downward pullback, waiting for breakout confirmation or a stable pullback before taking action. Position holders also need to manage corresponding risks.$BTC Bitcoin is being used as a hedge against the weakening dollar?
Latest news: Bitcoin Magazine, citing FOX Business, presents a new market observation: Bitcoin is gradually taking on the role of hedging against the weakening dollar.
The report points out a straightforward logic chain: once Bitcoin starts to rise and returns to mainstream public discussion, market allocation demand will follow. In this round of the market, Bitcoin's phase gain has already reached 20%, tightly linking Bitcoin price, dollar strength, and market attention.
The reality behind the narrative
1. In this round, the weakening dollar, soaring gold, and simultaneous Bitcoin rally are not coincidental. After the U.S. Treasury expanded long-term bond repurchases, long-term U.S. Treasury yields fluctuated sharply, the dollar index declined in phases, and "currency depreciation trades" simultaneously ignited gold and BTC, with both assets moving in the same direction. The market is beginning to reconsider: Bitcoin is no longer just a high-beta risk asset; some funds see it as a digital hard asset hedge.
2. But we must distinguish the boundary between narrative and fact.
A weakening dollar is a favorable condition but does not mean the two will mechanically move inversely. Often, when risk sell-offs occur, Bitcoin still falls in sync with U.S. stocks. Hedging dollar depreciation is a mid-to-long-term allocation narrative and should not be directly used as a basis for short-term trading.
3. The report mentions "demand will only be attracted once it rises," which involves a self-reinforcing loop: price rise → increased media and public discussion → inflow of incremental funds → further price increase. But this logic also carries a backlash; once the market turns down, the reverse negative loop occurs.
Signals we need to verify carefully
✅ Positive verification: the dollar index continues to weaken, BTC and gold maintain strength in the same direction, and spot ETFs keep net inflows.
⚠️ Falsification signal: the dollar declines, but Bitcoin falls sharply along with U.S. stock risk assets, indicating the market's dominant logic is still risk appetite, not currency hedge narrative.
Objective reminder: hedging against a weakening dollar is an institutional allocation narrative and should not be treated as an ironclad short-term bullish rule. Bitcoin itself is highly volatile; even if the macro logic holds, there will still be large pullbacks and shakeouts. Macro is the big picture; position management always comes first.
#BTC #WeakeningDollar #MacroNarrative #OKXPlanetGold is currently priced at $4670, aiming for $4700. A month ago, it was below $4100, surging over 13% since August.
On Monday, it briefly touched $4680.70, the highest since May 14. Global gold ETFs recorded the largest weekly inflow in 10 months, 46.7 tons, approximately $6.4 billion.
Three things are happening simultaneously:
First, the U.S. Treasury has doubled the scale of long-term bond repurchases, increasing single operations from $2 billion to "at least $4 billion." Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen hinted at possibly using nearly a trillion dollars from the Treasury's general account to fund repurchases. The market interprets this as the government "artificially" suppressing long-term interest rates to support massive debt.
Second, the dollar index has fallen to a three-month low. Multiple failures by the U.S. in military, geopolitical, and financial areas are shaking the dollar's credibility. Scotiabank's chief FX strategist put it bluntly: "There has to be a cost, either U.S. Treasury yields rise or the dollar concedes."
Third, sanctions on Iran have escalated, increasing geopolitical safe-haven demand.
But one detail is worth pondering: the repurchase effect lasted only one day, and long-term bond yields quickly recovered their losses. Market concerns about the U.S. long-term fiscal outlook remain; inflation is still above target, and the deficit is expanding.
My judgment: This round of gold pricing is not about inflation but about the dollar's credit itself. 4600 is not the end, but short-term chasing of highs requires caution. Wait for a pullback.
$XAU $BTC $ETH #ETH fluctuates after reaching $2500
The gains are also hot, we must hold the bull market!
$ETH This wave can no longer be simply understood as "catching up with BTC": last week, the US spot ETH ETF net inflow was about $697 million, marking the strongest single-week performance since 2026. On August 19, 20, and 21, it consecutively recorded inflows of approximately $189 million, $221 million, and $185 million. ETH once broke through $2500 but then returned to around $2400, with a 7-day gain still close to 30%, indicating institutional funds are taking over to squeeze the market.
My strategy: $2400 is the short-term strong/weak level; hold above it to continue targeting $2500→$2700; if it breaks below $2400, reduce leverage first, then consider scaling in again on a pullback to $2300-$2350. ETF inflows are truly strong, but a 30% weekly gain is also really hot—don’t let the bull market burn your position away. BlackRock bought again today.
2802 BTC, $223 million.
6580 ETH, $16.57 million. They just bought 1019 BTC last week, and added more today.
BTC has risen to around 79,000, ETH is approaching 2,500, and BlackRock is still buying.
On the other side, bulls are closing positions. A huge whale closed over 4,000 BTC long positions, profiting about $60 million, and the curve continues to move up. At the same time, the whale with "10 big targets first set" short positions may see unrealized losses expand to $6.88 million. His short average price is 76,397, BTC current price is around 79,000, and he is still holding.
One person is making money, another is losing money.
BlackRock is still buying, indicating institutions believe this level can still push higher. On the other side, some have made enough profit and are leaving, while others are still holding on hard. The 78,000-80,000 range shows significant divergence between bulls and bears.
My judgment is simple: the 80,000 level will likely fluctuate repeatedly in the short term. ETFs are buying, institutions are entering, but some funds are withdrawing, and some positions are liquidating. The direction is still upward, but it won't be a straight line up. The volatility after a sharp rise is a digestion of profit-taking and a buildup for the next phase of the market.
$BTC $ETH [Hyperliquid's Largest Long Position Holder] Took profit and closed positions early this morning: 60,000 ETH + 1,200 BTC. Realized profit of $45.3 million.
Long positions dropped from $537 million to $143 million:
◎ All 120,000 ETH long positions have been closed for profit, earning $32.77 million.
◎ Out of 3,000 BTC long positions, 1,200 BTC were closed for profit, earning $12.53 million.
Currently holding 1,800 BTC long positions still open, with unrealized profit of $21.08 million. Total profit (realized + unrealized) now reaches $66.38 million.Is there still hope for a bull market?
$BTC weekly gain is 23.6%, surging from 62,000 to 79,500 USD, marking one of the strongest weekly performances since 2023; more importantly, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about 1.92 billion USD in one week, with a single-day inflow of 606 million USD on August 20, indicating that this rally is not just short squeezes but also institutional funds stepping in.
Behind this are macro catalysts like US Treasury repo, a weakening dollar, and improved regulatory expectations. My judgment: the trend is strengthening, but the short term is clearly overheated, with 80,000 USD as a key psychological level. Strategically, do not chase the rally; consider buying in batches if it pulls back and stabilizes between 76,000 and 78,000 USD; if volume increases and it holds above 80,000 USD, then look towards 85,000 to 90,000 USD. If ETF inflows continue, the bull market still has a chance; if funds stop, the 23.6% gain could also turn into a retracement fuel.

Final qualitative: fundamentals solid (score 55/100). Token value capture realized (buyback/burn/gas). Circulating market cap relatively expensive compared to fundamentals, overleveraged expectations, FDV moderate. Risk warnings: short-term large unlock dump, protocol income long-term zero, token demand relies solely on incentives (usage collapses if incentives stop). Focus later on: weekly protocol fees, burn amount, active address retention, TVL/loan balance, GitHub version releases. The above is logic and judgment based on public information, not investment advice. Core financial indicators deviating over 30% require reassessment.

#FundamentalResearchReport #Crypto #Research #OKXOrbitRecently, there has been a phenomenon in the market worth pausing to consider: a company called Unitree has been pushed by capital to nearly 400 billion yuan in the A-share market, with a price-to-earnings ratio once reaching 500 times, and at one point approaching 1000 times. This figure in any mature market is enough to make people take a deep breath. What's even more unsettling is that this company neither has a large-scale AI R&D team nor its own large dataset, yet enjoys valuation benefits that even top tech growth stocks might not match. Some market participants bluntly say that shorting Unitree right now almost feels like a game with a win rate close to 100%. This judgment sounds somewhat extreme, but the underlying sentiment is not without basis. Tech companies allow bubbles and the market to pay early for imagination, but when a stock's pricing clearly deviates from its business substance, technological reserves, and industry status, the market no longer offers a premium, but rather an almost unfocused frenzy. A price-to-earnings ratio of 500 to 1000 means that even if the company maintains extremely high growth over the next decade, current prices will take a long time to digest. Not to mention, any underperformance or industry shift during this process could trigger a dramatic valuation rebound. What we are actually seeing is a typical narrative-driven market. At certain stages, capital will concentrate on stories with "scarcity" and "imagination," temporarily ignoring fundamental support. Unitree's market value expansion essentially reflects the market's high expectations for the robotics concept and domestic hard technology, but this expectationI've been thinking about this for the past few days: if this wave is just a short squeeze, why didn't the price immediately fall back after the shorts were liquidated?
Last week, BTC surged from over 60,000 to nearly 80,000 USD, with a weekly increase of more than 20%.
The first part is actually easy to explain.
There were too many bearish positions in the market beforehand; after the breakout, it triggered massive short stop-losses and liquidations, with the highest reaching about $3 billion in short liquidations.
So I wouldn't interpret that initial big bullish candle as a return of a bull market; it's more like the market clearing out the overly crowded shorts all at once.
But what really made me start to change my view was the capital flow afterward.
The US spot BTC ETF had a net inflow of about $1.92 billion last week, marking the strongest week since October 2025.
In other words, the first half was shorts forced to buy, and the second half saw genuine buyers emerging. These two situations are very different, and now another phenomenon that I find quite healthy has appeared.
After weekend price fluctuations, BTC open interest actually dropped by about 2.65%, and the funding rate did not spiral out of control.
In other words, leverage is being cleaned out, but the price remains relatively high, which is a structure I prefer.
Because if BTC rises, open interest surges, and funding rates keep climbing, that means everyone is chasing longs, and the next liquidation might just switch from shorts to longs.
Right now, it looks more like shorts were cleared first, then big capital (ETF) entered, followed by long leverage being washed out again, and then the price is finding real spot support.
So moving forward, I won't keep guessing when BTC will break 80,000; I'm more concerned about who will buy on the next pullback.
If ETF inflows continue, open interest doesn't spiral out of control again, and BTC holds this breakout zone after a pullback, then the nature of this rally will start to be completely different.
Because a truly healthy bull market is never about daily surges; it's about the price floor rising higher each time leverage is cleaned out.
Right now, I think the market is validating exactly this.$SNDK just looks bearish, won't turn bullish until it drops to around 1000 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Government bond yields rise, but the dollar falls instead, the core logic
Conventional logic: Yield rises → foreign capital buys US bonds → need to exchange for dollars → dollar rises.
But now it's the opposite: yields surge, dollar weakens, this is a very dangerous "debt-driven divergence market".
Two completely different types of yield increases
① Benign increase (Fed rate hikes, strong economy) ✅ yields rise, dollar rises accordingly
- Reason: US economy is hot, market expects Fed to continue raising rates.
- Logic: Wanting dollar assets, so buying US bonds, capital inflow, dollar strengthens.
② Malignant increase (happening now) ⚠️ yields rise, dollar falls instead
- Reason: Not that everyone wants US bonds, but everyone is selling US bonds.
The US has a huge fiscal deficit, massive new government bonds flood the market, oversupply with no buyers, bond prices fall, yields are forcibly pushed up.
Capital is not only selling US bonds but also reducing dollar holdings; capital is flowing out of dollar assets overall, so:
US bonds sold → yields rise; dollar sold → dollar index falls.
Key points:
Short-term rates (2-year) reflect Fed rate hike/cut expectations;
10-year long bonds rising now mainly reflect term premium (debt risk compensation), not rate hike expectations.
Market pricing now: Fed unlikely to hike further, but US debt risk is high, so long bonds are forced higher, dollar lacks rate hike support.
What this means for stocks and storage sector (SanDisk, Hynix)
1. A 4.7% yield is a real valuation suppressor; this negative won’t disappear just because the dollar falls.
Even if a weaker dollar benefits multinational companies’ forex gains, the valuation hit from debt risk is stronger, so the storage sector remains under pressure.
2. This combination (high yields + weak dollar) signals stagflation risk:
- Positive for gold;
- A double-edged complex environment for growth tech stocks: dollar weakness brings some forex benefits, but high yields suppress valuations more.
3. Distinguish two types of dollar declines
- Dollar fall due to rate cuts: good for stocks;
- Dollar fall due to damaged debt confidence: a risk signal, not positive.
Simple mnemonic
Rate up + dollar up = strong economy, benign;
Rate up + dollar down = selling US bonds and dollars, debt worries, risk alert.
Current market reality
10-year yield hits 4.7, while dollar does not strengthen, this is the second alert scenario.
Waiting for the Treasury’s official buyback on September 9; if buyback can push long bond yields back below 4.5, the alert will be lifted; if buyback is insufficient, this dangerous combination will continue to suppress tech storage.Today, let's first see what's happening in the world.👇 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 Overnight summary BTC tested the 80,000 whole number level last night and then pulled back to around 78,800; US stocks showed increasing divergence—Dow Jones rose for two consecutive days, Nasdaq fell for three consecutive days, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor index dropped another 2.7%; Asia-Pacific markets cautiously declined this morning. On the first day of earnings season, the market is both defusing risks and taking sides. 🪙 Crypto｜Three details from the first test of 80K BTC Binance hit a high of 80,000.00 last night, currently at 78,837 (+1.73%), 24h range 76,670-80,000, a normal pullback after the surge. ① Long-short ratio 1.07→0.94: Retail investors actually net shorted before the breakout; those who chased last week were shaken out halfway up. ② Funding rate 0.0055%: Below the baseline, open interest is under control—this rally is still not driven by leverage. ③ ETF + whales continue accumulating: According to market statistics, spot ETFs had a net inflow of over $1 billion last week (the largest single week in 10 months); CryptoQuant reports whales increased holdings by about $2.75 billion over 60 days; on-chain 0x007d bought 242 BTC at market price (about $18.8 million, based on market observation only). Radar revisit: $ZEC weekly gain over 60%, hitting an eight-year high—no chasing during acceleration, maintaining yesterday's judgment. 💡 Uncle's observation: Retail long-short ratio dropped below 1, funding rate stayed below baseline, the upward structure is actually healthier than last week. 80,The fear and greed index has already reached 74, and at this level, I start to be cautious. Over the past year, this is very close to the high point.
In just a few days, market sentiment has undergone a very obvious shift.
This time, it's not just BTC that is rising.
Sectors like Meme, DeFi, AI, BTC ecosystem, RWA, and old coins have started to become active one after another, with more and more projects gaining over 10% on the leaderboard.
This indicates that market breadth is indeed expanding.
But the problem lies precisely here:
The sentiment is heating up a bit too fast.
What needs to be focused on next is not how much more it can rise today, but:
Whether funds can continue to spread in an orderly manner while sentiment keeps rising.
If strong sectors continue to rotate and market breadth expands, it means funds are still being absorbed;
But if a large-scale illogical general rise begins, with funds crazily chasing coins that didn’t rise in the past few days, or even everything rising, it means the market is gradually shifting from being fund-driven to sentiment-driven.
