The crypto ETF race is heating up. Several digital assets have already secured spot ETF approval in the US, while a growing list is still waiting for the green light. ✅ Already live in the US (9): $BTC — Jan 2024 $ETH — Jul 2024 $XRP + $DOGE — Sep 2025 $SOL — Oct 2025 $LTC — Nov 2025 $DOT + $AVAX — Mar 2026 $HYPE — May 2026 ⏳ Filed & awaiting approval (13): 🔹 $ADA — VanEck, 21Shares, Grayscale 🔹 $LINK — Bitwise, 21Shares, Grayscale 🔹 $XLM — 21Shares, Bitwise, Grayscale 🔹 $BCH — 21Shares, BitI just finished what I was doing this morning, and took the opportunity to check the market during a break in coffee. When I saw Jensen Huang's open letter yesterday, I wondered if NVIDIA might be using news to strengthen today. But when I checked the market, NVDA was still oscillating around 207, even slightly lowering at one point. The market reaction was much calmer than I expected.
This open letter itself is quite noteworthy, with a total of 25 tech companies jointly supporting open-source AI, including Microsoft, Meta, and IBM, and even Elon Musk publicly expressing support.
Many people's first reaction upon seeing this news was: Will models becoming more open-source affect AI companies' profitability?
But if you look at it from NVIDIA's perspective, I think the logic is quite the opposite.
The more open the model is, the more developers participate, the lower the barrier for enterprises to deploy AI, and the faster AI application implementation may accelerate. What truly determines NVIDIA's long-term value is not necessarily the leading model company, but whether the entire AI industry continues to expand.
After all, models can be open source, but the GPU, servers, and computing resources behind training and inference are not free. The fiercer the competition among AI vendors, the more iterative models and expanded deployments become, the demand for high-performance computing power may actually rise.
So in my view, Jensen Huang has always been betting not on a single model, but on the continuous growth of the entire AI ecosystem. As long as the industry keeps expanding, the demand for underlying computing power will rarely disappear overnight.
However, the pace of capital market watching clearly isn't that long.
Short-term funds are now more focused on earnings performance, whether next quarter profits exceed expectations, and whether each tech company's CapEx can continue to improve, rather than on what landscape the AI industry will ultimately develop in a few years. So even if the news is positive, I don't think it's surprising that the stock price doesn't immediately respond positively.
Recently, after the Kimi K3 became open-sourced, discussions in overseas AI circles have noticeably increased, with more and more people rethinking that the future path for AI development may not be limited to closed-source models. Competition between different routes may actually further accelerate the industry's development.
My understanding is that whether open-source models ultimately dominate or closed-source models continue to lead, as long as AI continues to become widespread, the computing power demands from training, inference, and enterprise deployment will most likely keep growing.
Therefore, I won't easily assume that the AI main theme has fundamentally changed just because Nvidia has fluctuated around 207 in the short term. More often, the market is digesting expectations, trading sentiment, and waiting for new earnings confirmation.
Of course, this does not mean the stock price will only keep rising. Short-term fluctuations are still affected by earnings reports, policies, and capital sentiment, so I won't blindly chase highs, but will continue to monitor subsequent earnings realization and CapEx data. If these core indicators do not show a clear weakening, I prefer to interpret the recent volatility as a market repricing rather than that the long-term logic has ended. $NVDA $IBM the radar flagged 26 setups this week before they moved, the tape already settled every single one. gap between "saw it" and "played out" is closed, here's the tape.
split: 11 carried, 15 faded, average outcome -9.9%. but of those 15 faders, 11 were already tagged overheated/high risk before they dropped. that's not the radar missing, that's the radar calling the flush before it happened. un1, WISHBONE, POW all got flagged MEME RUNNING [high risk] and then went to zero, exactly the outcome the tag warned about.
the carry side had a clean pattern too: real squeeze mechanics won. $EUL and $RIF got tagged SHORT SQUEEZE / SHORTS IN CONTROL [med risk] and ran 52%+. $BOP was flagged high risk too but caught a genuine meme wave, +66%. so high risk doesn't mean fade, it means volatile in either direction, the tag is telling you the range, not the outcome.
lesson of the week: overheated longs on thin books fade, squeezes with real positioning behind them carry. radar's still watching, next week's setups are already loading.

"99% of demo videos are either pre-programmed or remotely controlled by someone in the background."
Everyone in the industry knew about this, but no one exposed it until Elon Musk spoke up.
The line he drew was clear: a true general-purpose humanoid robot relies on natural commands to work on its own, without pre-programming or human intervention.
Currently, no one has done this.
Including Tesla itself.
The reality of Optimus,
All components require brand-new R&D, and there is no mature supply chain
The Fremont plant is ramping up capacity slowly
Chips are the bottleneck
The first batch of equipment is used only for internal data collection and is not sold externally
Musk is stepping on others, but at the same time, he's giving his own schedule a heads-up.
Physical AI is the real direction, but there is still a long way to go between "being able to work" and "performing and working." #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? $DOGE 🚨JUST IN: The Trump team has moved $16.91 MILLION in $TRUMP tokens to Fireblocks custody wallets.
These wallets have previously forwarded $TRUMP to BitGo.
Over the past five months, the team has sent out 48.25 MILLION $TRUMP worth $172.4 MILLION across three separate batches. I recovered the chip structure from April, and obviously the gap between 76,000 and 80,000 has been partially filled. However, the stacked chips of 61k and 63k have reached their peak, which is quite interesting
1. The concentration of massive shares may be a historical bottom, with strong support. Selling pressure cannot be broken, and it is caught by heavy turnover
2. If it breaks below and cannot be recovered in a short time, it will become the strongest resistance level in this bear market, with massive volume trapping chips suppressing the market, potentially triggering panic selling of chips above 80,000, and the market will move to the next bottom consensus zone to reconstruct the bottom
So I believe now is the real turning point for the market. #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? $BTC 📊 In-depth Review of CoinGecko 24h Gainers: What Are Real Opportunities and Which Are Liquidity Traps?
Today's gainers list may seem lively, but in reality, it's a hodgepodge of "token listing drivers + meme sentiment + new coin/airdrop liquidity + low-liquidity fluctuations." Blindly chasing rallies based on gains can easily lead to pitfalls.
Based on exchange coverage, contract depth, and event catalysts, I divided these 10 coins into three tiers:
🥇 First Tier: Real Events and High Liquidity (Focused Tracking)
$EUL (+65.1%): The strongest token listing driver! On July 26, Upbit KRW spot was officially launched, with mainstream coverage like Binance and Coinbase, making the event tough.
$KAITO (+25.1%): InfoFi narrative leader, with extremely strong spot and contract liquidity, but caution is needed for large unlocks expected in August.
$ESP (+16.8%): After the airdrop at TGE, the core focus is whether airdrop selling pressure can be effectively absorbed by the market.
🥈 Second Tier: Event/Narrative Short-Term Game (Participate with Caution)
$CROSS: The global launch of the game "Frost Kingdom" is driven by the ecosystem.
$BOME / $TROLL / $ASTEROID: Pure meme dissemination and sentiment indicators, spreading quickly but fundamentals are fragile.
🥉 Tier 3: Low Mobility Alert (Advised to Stay Away)
$PONS / $GRX / $UWU: Although the gains are good, trading volume is extremely low (for example, $UWU is only 7.3K, $GRX is only 584K), and mainstream coverage is weak, making it easy to experience a liquidity crisis where you can buy but can't sell!
💡 Core logic: For short-term trading, don't just look at who has risen more; the key is "whether there is real catalyst, whether mainstream CEXs are taking over, whether there is contract liquidity, and whether there is imminent unlocking and selling pressure."

#多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过 Turning Point for South Korea's Memory Industry? Concerns and Changes Amid the AI Boom
On July 26, 2026, in the early trading session of the Seoul stock market, shares of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both opened higher but quickly narrowed their gains. Just the day before, the two companies announced they had signed a chip supply and technology cooperation framework agreement worth 1,375 trillion Korean won (approximately $940 billion) with a major U.S. tech giant. Some market participants interpreted this news as a major victory for South Korea's semiconductor industry, but a sober look at current data and industry logic reveals that beneath the surface prosperity, structural contradictions are rapidly accumulating.
1. Capacity Expansion Outpaces Market Demand Absorption
According to the latest statistics released by South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy on July 24, semiconductor exports in the first half of 2026 reached $68.7 billion, a year-on-year increase of 12.3%, but the growth rate has clearly slowed compared to 28.6% in the same period last year. Among these, memory chip exports still accounted for 62%, but contract prices for DRAM and NAND Flash have remained flat for three consecutive months.
One core aspect of the agreement is raising Samsung and SK Hynix's monthly HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) production target from the originally planned 130,000 wafers by the end of 2027 to 190,000 wafers, representing a 46% increase in capacity. However, major global AI chip customers—NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom—reported in their Q2 earnings in mid-July that inventory turnover days rose to 98, 87, and 92 days respectively, all higher than the 75-80 day range in the same period last year. Downstream customers' willingness to stockpile is marginally weakening.
2. Mismatch Risk Between Non-Binding Agreements and Rigid Capital Expenditures
The signed document is not a long-term purchase contract with penalty clauses but a memorandum of understanding covering technology roadmaps and capacity reservations. Yet, Samsung Electronics announced on July 22 an additional equipment investment of 4.2 trillion Korean won for the P4 production line at its Pyeongtaek plant; SK Hynix confirmed on July 20 that the construction period for the Cheongju M15X plant has been shortened from the originally planned 32 months to 26 months. These are irreversible physical capital investments.
According to the Bank of Korea's "Corporate Investment Intention Survey" released on July 27, the semiconductor industry's equipment investment execution rate in Q2 has reached 78% of the annual budget, compared to 63% in the same period last year. The front-loading of investments is significant, but at the same time, global cloud service providers' capital expenditure growth slowed from 34% in Q1 to 22% in Q2. A Morgan Stanley report on July 23 pointed out that the HBM supply-demand gap is expected to narrow from 18% this year to 4%-6% in 2027, and if the expansion plans are fully implemented, an 8%-10% supply surplus may occur in 2028.
3. Increased Vulnerability from Exchange Rates and Foreign Capital Flows
The Korean won to U.S. dollar exchange rate was 1 USD to 1,378 KRW in early trading on July 27, near the low range since October 2022. Foreign investors have net sold in the Korean stock market for nine consecutive trading days, totaling 2.3 trillion KRW, with over 70% of net outflows from the semiconductor sector. Data from the Financial Supervisory Service of Korea shows that from July to date, foreign ownership of Samsung Electronics shares dropped from 34.1% to 32.7%, the largest single-month decline since 2021.
The depreciation of the won and capital outflows form a negative feedback loop. The 5-year CDS (credit default swap) spread for Korea rose to 47 basis points on July 26, up 12 basis points from a month ago, reflecting a repricing of South Korea's sovereign credit risk in international markets.
4. Real Demand Absorption Capacity Faces Tests
The demand growth for HBM from AI servers is undeniable, but bottlenecks in commercial monetization are emerging. Microsoft, Google, and Amazon reported in mid-July that AI-related business revenue accounted for 5.2%, 4.8%, and 3.9% of total revenue respectively, while corresponding capital expenditures accounted for a high 18.7%, 16.3%, and 14.2% of revenue. The investment return gap remains wide.
If from the second half of 2026 to the first half of 2027, the AI application revenue growth of major North American tech giants continues to lag behind capital expenditure growth, companies will inevitably reassess their procurement budgets. The Korea Development Institute (KDI) warned in its "Supplementary Economic Outlook Report" released on July 25 that if major customers lower their 2027 procurement forecasts, the idle capacity cost for South Korean memory companies could reach as high as 90 trillion KRW annually, equivalent to 32% of South Korea's current account surplus last year.
Conclusion
What the two South Korean memory giants have now is more like an entry ticket requiring a huge upfront stake. The shortened expansion cycle, the conversion of non-binding agreements into rigid expenditures, pressures from exchange rates and capital flows, and uncertainties in downstream commercialization progress together form a complex picture similar in logic but different in path from Japan's semiconductor industry in the 1990s. Physical capacity expansion is easy; sustained realization of industry value is difficult. When the tide recedes, who is swimming naked may become apparent even before the end of 2027. Today's South Korean semiconductor industry stands at a peak, but the mountain winds are biting.$CATI is trying to recover after a sharp sell-off and has already formed a decent rebound structure.

#EarningsRealityCheck #KoreaAIChipPush #ETHExitQueueZero $SOL Solana Absorbed $1.41 Billion in Stablecoins This Week, 3.7 Times the Net Growth of the Entire Market
The supply of stablecoins on Solana reached $16.48 billion, a 9.34% increase this week, equivalent to $1.41 billion in new capital flowing into the chain.
🔸 Meanwhile, the total market capitalization of stablecoins only increased by $383 million, meaning Solana's liquidity is being drawn from elsewhere, not just through overall expansion.
🔸 The structure is also changing: USDC now accounts for only 47.1% of the stablecoin supply on Solana, while other assets (USD1, USDG) reached a record high of $4.8 billion.
👉 This is a very strong signal for Solana. The influx of stablecoins into the chain is not just speculation but real capital for DeFi and payment applications to function. The diversification of stablecoins also shows that the ecosystem is maturing. This is a different story from previous bull runs; it focuses on real liquidity and utility rather than memecoins.
💬 Do you think stablecoins are the best measure of a blockchain's true health?

Does this mean that the spillover effects of AI narratives on the crypto market have been fully priced in, or is the market waiting for clearer signals of capital flows?
- Event facts: Nvidia and SK Group jointly announced an AI project. SK Telecom will build a 2 GW AI data center using Nvidia Vera Rubin chips and SK Hynix HBM4 memory. SEC filings show that SK Telecom plans to increase AI data center capacity to 15 GW by 2035. The total project valuation exceeds $500 billion.
- Market Structure Changes: After the announcement, BTC fluctuated narrowly around $105,000, ETH weakened relative to BTC, and altcoins overall declined. This indicates that the long-term benefits of AI infrastructure have not directly translated into demand for crypto risk assets. The market may interpret this event as "traditional tech capital continuing to flood into AI on a large scale," rather than "accelerating the integration of AI and crypto."
- Expectations and Repricing: Previously, some market participants anticipated that the large-scale expansion of AI infrastructure would spill over into the crypto market through computing demand, tokenization, or decentralized computing networks. Current price action shows that this spillover effect is either priced in advance or has yet to form a verifiable transmission mechanism. The market is reassessing the risk premium of "AI concept coins," especially those projects that rely on short-term narratives rather than actual on-chain activity.
- Positioning Behavior and Derivatives Risk: From the derivatives market perspective, BTC perpetual contract funding rates remain in the 0.01%-0.02% range, with no significant increase, indicating that bulls have not increased their positions due to this news. ETH options implied volatility has slightly declined, indicating a reduced market expectation of ETH's short-term volatility. Altcoin futures open interest has declined, suggesting speculative funds are pulling out. If BTC fails to break through the $108,000 resistance, it could trigger long liquidations and intensify the pullback.
- Multiple paths and conditions: If clear "AI+crypto" collaboration cases emerge in the coming weeks, such as decentralized computing networks receiving official support from Nvidia, or AI data centers adopting tokenized computing power, AI narratives may be reactivated. At that point, BTC needs to hold above $110,000, and ETH needs to break through $4,000 for altcoins to see capital flow back.
- Bearish risk and conditions: If AI projects progress smoothly but the crypto market does not directly benefit, the market may further compress the valuations of AI concept coins. If BTC falls below $98,000 (near the current 200-day moving average), it could trigger broader deleveraging, with ETH and altcoins seeing even greater declines.
- Conclusion: Nvidia and SK's $500 billion AI plan is priced in the crypto market as a "tech stock boom" rather than a "crypto catalyst." BTC is currently relatively strong, but ETH's weakness against altcoins suggests that the market is skeptical about the spillover effects of the AI narrative. Under this structure, risk appetite in the derivatives market is declining. In the short term, more attention should be paid to whether BTC can hold key support rather than chasing the AI concept.
Risk warning: The expansion of AI infrastructure may continue to divert attention from the crypto market rather than generating incremental capital.

I've noticed that since the start of the bear market, every time Bitcoin and the market rebound at the end, $DOGE has systematically surged, and when this happens, a sell-off usually follows
$BTC In my view, it hasn't reclaimed its highs yet, so Dogecoin may have good upward momentum$Short-term (a few hours to 1-2 days) is not a good time; the risk outweighs the opportunity. The reasons are as follows:
· Resistance is evident above: the 1-hour chart shows prices are just below 1,922.68, which is both the intraday high area and close to the SuperTrend resistance level (1,904.67). More importantly, the estimated strong discount price is at 1,892.62, meaning if the price falls below this level, bulls will largely passively close their positions, triggering an accelerated decline.
· Open interest divergence: The open interest (OI) shown in your screenshot clearly declines during price rebounds (from 1.511 billion to 1.478 billion). This is a typical case of short positions closing out a rebound, rather than new long entries. Such rallies often have poor sustainability.
· Funding rate is neutral: Recently, the rate has fluctuated slightly around 0, indicating there is no strong bullish sentiment in the market and a lack of fuel for a trending trend.
Specific operational suggestions:
· Want to go long: At least wait until the price breaks through 1,928 (24-hour high) with increased volume and holds steady, or if it fails to break below 1,890-1,900 before reconsidering, with stop-loss set below 1,880.
· Prefer short-term shorting: If the price struggles again near 1,925, you can take a light position and try shorting, with a stop loss at 1,935, targeting 1,900 and 1,890 first.
· Special reminder: The leverage you used does not show. If you use high leverage (above 10x), going long now is very dangerous. Once it breaks below 1,900, the support below is very weak, and it could directly move toward 1,876 or even 1,865.
Simply put: going long now is "going against the small trend," and the profit-loss ratio is not cost-effective. It is recommended to either wait for a breakout confirmation or a deep pullback; temporarily observing or lightly shorting is more reliable. $$AAVE is demonstrating strong bullish momentum on OKX today, pushing up +5.65% to trade around $97.21 with a 24-hour high of $98.12.
After testing support near its recent low of $87.50, the price has broken back above key short-term moving averages (MA5 at 94.95, MA10 at 92.98, and MA20 at 93.53), signaling a healthy reversal on the daily chart as buyers target the psychological $100 mark.
#DailyOrbit @OKX中文 Next week, US stocks will be tough. Microsoft, $META, Amazon, and $AAPL are all reporting earnings reports, while the Fed, GDP, and PCE are all packed together in the same week.
Previously, Google and Tesla had already set an example for the market. Despite decent performance, it still declined, because capital is now losing patience with "continuing to invest in AI." Whether income grows is only part of the story; how long it takes for the money spent to be recovered is the key focus of pricing after the financial report.
On Wednesday, I'll first look at Microsoft's Azure growth rate. The market expects revenue of $87.67 billion and earnings per share of $4.24, but the numbers are still not enough; only then will Azure and AI investment guidance determine the after-hours direction. If Meta wants to continue significantly increasing its capital expenditures, advertising revenue must be strong enough; otherwise, the stock price will struggle to keep up.
Looking at Amazon and AWS on Thursday, growth can hold expectations, and the hash rate storage chain of Nvidia, Micron, and SK Hynix can catch their breath; AWS slowed down, and the first to be cut were hardware stocks that had previously seen large gains. Apple: I only care about sales in China and next quarter's guidance; no matter how much AI is mentioned at the launch event, it always comes at the bottom.
My position will be lighter. Next week, the market won't reward "almost" stocks; as long as any performance, guidance, or cash flow falls short of expectations, overvalued tech stocks may fall directly.$BTC
My pattern plays out again...

Now, in 2026, the wave of bankruptcies has arrived—aside from those who just fled, the main problem is that matchmaking deals no longer make money, retail investors have evolved, and regulations are getting stricter. Large firms compete fiercely over services, while smaller firms simply can't survive.
If the crypto world truly wants to revive itself, it must abandon all old tricks and focus on one thing: turning good real-world assets—like US stocks and government bonds—into low-cost, high-efficiency Web3 assets on-chain. This is not something a diploma trader can handle.
---
Looking back at the evolution of finance over the past few centuries:
· The bank has → money that can circulate
· The securities market has → corporate equity that can now be moved
· ETFs have emerged→ allowing a basket of assets to be traded at low cost
· Internet brokerages have emerged→ ordinary people can now buy global assets
· The emergence of blockchain → aims to enable global assets to circulate borderless 24×7 hours a day
The true value of Web3 has never been in building more casinos, but in becoming the next generation of financial infrastructure.
Exchanges that survive aren't about who can create more speculative opportunities, but about who first masters TradFi, carves out a trick on it, and makes Wall Street people take a second look at Web3—that's real skill.
#多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过
#财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? Last night after work, I watched the market for a while. I originally just wanted to see if there was a chance to reduce some positions, but I ended up seeing many people discussing the storage sector. The comment section still had the same saying: “When cyclical stocks have the highest profits, their P/E ratios are often the lowest.” Of course, I agree with this, but I think it only explains the surface and doesn’t answer the question I really care about—how much longer this cycle can last.
Companies like SK Hynix, Micron, Snowflake, and Samsung currently have relatively low valuations. Many people's first reaction is “Don’t touch them, the cycle is at its peak.” But the market actually already knows that the current profit margins can’t be maintained forever, which is why these companies don’t have very high valuations. The real disagreement isn’t whether the cycle will end, but how many more years the supply-demand tightness can last.
If the industry peaks this year and then immediately enters oversupply, price declines, and margin contraction, then the valuations that look cheap now could very well be classic value traps. But if supply tightness can continue for two or three more years, the cash flow these companies accumulate before the cycle truly reverses might be far more than what the current market valuations reflect.
I personally prefer to focus on feedback from companies in the supply chain rather than just watching P/E ratios. At least the information released by several suppliers currently leans toward the latter. SK Hynix mentioned that supply tightness for some memory products might continue until the end of this decade; Samsung, although more conservative, also believes that noticeable supply tightness will last at least until 2027.
Of course, management’s words can’t be trusted 100%, since everyone wants the market to have more confidence in them. But the information they hold is indeed much more complete than that of outside investors, such as customer contracts, equipment purchases, wafer planning, and packaging capacity. These will ultimately be reflected in the pace of capacity expansion, not just slogans.
Another common concern is whether customers will reorder repeatedly.
If the actual installation rate is low, it could mean customers overestimated demand, or it could be due to limited capacity, so everyone locks in supply early. Looking at order quantities alone makes it hard to judge which is the case. I think contract terms are more worth studying.
In this cycle, many customers are willing to sign multi-year agreements, accept price floors and ceilings, pay prepayments, and even share the funding for new capacity construction. From a business logic perspective, if demand were only short-term, few would lock resources years in advance or willingly bear expansion risks for suppliers. I think this is more meaningful than order numbers.
HBM is also an area I’ve been paying close attention to. Its biggest difference from traditional DRAM is that new supply is no longer as easy to release. HBM consumes more wafer capacity, requires higher yields, and advanced packaging further limits expansion speed. From HBM3E to HBM4 and HBM4E, manufacturing complexity continues to increase, so the newly added capacity is likely absorbed by the higher manufacturing intensity per product rather than simply turning into more shipments.
The same logic applies to TSMC and ASML.
The more advanced AI chips are, the more they rely on leading processes, EUV equipment, and advanced packaging working together. Whether it’s TSMC building new fabs, ASML delivering equipment, or customers completing capacity expansions, the whole process can’t be done in just a few quarters. Supply will definitely increase, but the speed of increase may not be as fast as the market imagines.
On the demand side, some worry whether Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom will face pressure in the future because big companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are currently very aggressive in purchasing AI accelerators and custom chips. If data center construction cools down, inventory, prices, and margins could all be affected.
I think this risk does exist, so I won’t keep my positions fully loaded just because I’m optimistic about the cycle. But on the other hand, AI computing demand itself is changing. Training still requires massive computing power, inference demand is expanding, and agents as well as more custom chip projects continue to add new loads. Even if the growth rate of a certain chip category slows, new demand sources might continue to push the entire construction cycle further out.
In the past two years, I think the biggest characteristic of the supply chain is that bottlenecks keep moving. At first, everyone fought for GPUs, then HBM and advanced packaging became the constraints, and later it was optical modules, power, cooling, and data center capacity. The constantly changing bottlenecks themselves indicate that the entire industry is still expanding on multiple physical layers, not yet reaching a very clear endpoint.
My understanding is that semiconductor cycles certainly won’t disappear. Supply will eventually catch up with demand, prices will return to normal, and margins will decline. What’s really worth comparing is whether the market’s current valuations, which reflect expectations about the cycle’s end time, align with actual contract durations, expansion speeds, and supplier feedback.
If AI demand slows earlier than expected, then these low valuations might indeed be warning of risk; but if physical bottlenecks in the supply chain remain unresolved and new capacity release can’t keep up, then what the market is underestimating might not be these companies’ profitability but how long the entire boom cycle can last.
So I’m not blindly overweight just because valuations are low, nor will I avoid the sector outright just because of the saying “low P/E in cyclical stocks means the top.” I prefer to track industry data while adjusting my positions. After all, the cycle will end, but it might not reverse quickly next year as the market pricing suggests. Leaving some room in trading is much more comfortable than betting on a single direction.

$SKHYNIX $MU #Ethereum validator exit queue has dropped to zero
I discovered a very magical phenomenon.
The Ethereum validator exit queue has been directly cleared, but ETH wanting to be staked has to wait in line for more than 40 days.
On one side, no one wants to leave; on the other, new money is scrambling to get in. Isn't this signal obvious enough?
My view is simple: this wave is not retail investors playing, but institutions bottom-fishing and locking up. Big holders like BitMine have staked 70% of their ETH in one go, clearly not planning to sell in the short term. Plus, with continuous inflows into ETFs, the circulating supply in the entire market is quietly shrinking. Many people anxiously watch the candlestick charts daily, thinking ETH can't rise, but look at this data—no one wants to sell, and new money is still queuing to enter. This itself is a pretty strong signal.
Speaking of Bitcoin, this staking wave has actually brought indirect benefits to it. Previously, people worried about "ETH crashing dragging down BTC," but now that the exit queue is zeroed out, ETH's selling pressure has basically disappeared, and Bitcoin has lost one of its biggest "ball and chains." More importantly, ETH staking locks up a large amount of liquidity, effectively reducing the total market supply. Bitcoin's supply is already decreasing after the halving, and with ETH also exiting circulation in large amounts, both sides are shrinking supply, which is a double support for the price.
Of course, risks are not absent. Validators are too concentrated, and large nodes have too much influence, which is not good for decentralization. But given the current situation, I don't think there's a need to be too pessimistic. After this 40-plus-day queue is digested, market supply will be tighter.
On a side note, meme coins are crazy today. Could a wild bull market be coming?!

单季利润狂吞150万亿韩元！SK海力士财报炸场，粉碎了谁的“AI泡沫论”？
过两天（29日），SK 海力士就要正式公布二季度财报了。根据 Yonhap Infomax 14 家机构的最新预测，海力士 Q2 营业利润预计将冲上 64.09 万亿韩元——单单这一个季度的利润，就比去年全年的 47.2 万亿韩元高出了整整 17 万亿韩元！
加上一季度的 37.61 万亿，海力士仅上半年的营业利润就突破了 100 万亿韩元大关。如果再算上三星电子 DS 部门 Q2 预告的 89.4 万亿，韩国这两大半导体巨头单单二季度合并营业利润将超过 150 万亿韩元。
看到这组夸张的财务数据，说实话，之前市场上打着“AI 投入回不了本”、“AI 资本开支泡影”旗号唱空的人，脸都被打肿了。
这组数据的背后，暴露了全球科技资本流动的核心真相：
科技巨头砸向 AI 基础设施的巨额 Capex（资本开支），不是砸进了无底洞，而是精准转化成了存储和算力卖方账面上万亿级的法币现金流。HBM 高带宽内存不是在讲故事，而是当下全球壁垒最高、吸金能力最强的实体大宗商品。
对加密市场而言，这份爆表财报的意义极其重大。
前一阵美股科技股回调，加密场内不少散户慌得不行。但韩国两大芯片巨头 150 万亿韩元的单季利润直接证明：AI 算力产业链的现金流造血能力坚不可摧。
当实体世界的算力变成盈利能力最强的资产时，加密行业里那些靠代币无限通胀印钞补贴的垃圾山寨，只会被加速淘汰；相反，真正能接入物理算力网络、推动算力代币化（如 Gensyn、Virtuals 协议）以及提供链上算力收益分配的基础设施，正迎来传统资金的价值重估。
我的结论：29 日海力士财报正式落地，极大概率会打消宏观资金对科技股和算力 Capex 的最后观望情绪。
你们觉得 29 日海力士财报超预期，能掀起科技股和加密 AI 板块的新一轮反攻吗？评论区聊聊。Bitcoin is not safe here.
The whole time it is under $66,000, there is a clear pathway to the Realised Cap at $54,000,
The consolidation under $66,000 only becomes a deviation once Bitcoin has reclaimed that level again.
If it does not reclaim, then it becomes a potential bearish consolidation that leads to deeper lows.
With the current corrective price action, this cannot be ruled out as impossible.
There are a few key things to note however.
This bottoming structure is almost identical to 2022.
And we were correctively moving back then also, with a very similar weekly candle to what we are getting right now.
That candle and the weeks that followed sent the timeline into a massive "$12k is coming" frenzy...
But it did not come, and Bitcoin began impulsing out of thin air.
We also had a bullish divergence, and the same percentage of coins sitting in a loss.
In 2022 we spent 10 weeks below $18,000.
Right now, we are 7 weeks since we tagged below $60,000.
The similarities are uncanny$BTC In the days leading up to the announcement of its closure, crypto exchange BitMart saw its on-chain public asset reserves plummet, dropping from about $12 million on the 12th of this month to about $2.31 million on the 26th. Currently, there are only $1.89 million in assets on-chain: Ethereum about $815,000, Solana about $660,000, BSC about $362,000, Starknet about $37,000, and Bitcoin just about $17,000.$COIN's core contradiction is that its valuation logic is shifting from spot exchanges that rely solely on crypto trading cycles to infrastructure covering asset issuance and settlement, but the proportion of short-term fee income still determines cash flow stability.
Currently, the market views $COIN as an elastic amplifier of the crypto cycle, with its early underlying profit model relying entirely on commission commissions from buying and selling spot currencies like BTC and ETH in US dollars.
The driving factors are ranked as follows: the depth of financial infrastructure expansion beyond trading business, the speed of overall crypto market trading volume recovery, and the hedging effect of non-trading revenue against cyclical downturns.
The trigger for an upward scenario is that asset service boundaries successfully cross single spot trading. If its income growth in issuance and settlement exceeds traditional spot fees, the market will anchor the valuation system as a comprehensive financial infrastructure across the chain, thereby raising the valuation center.
The failure signal of this scenario is a devastating contraction in overall spot trading volume of crypto assets, making it impossible for infrastructure revenue to fill the fee gap.
The trigger for the downward scenario is that business expansion fails to change the dependence on revenue structure. When a bear market cycle causes trading activity to remain sluggish, the profit base relying solely on fees will once again drag down overall financial performance.
The downward scenario is signaling the failure of the downward script: the proportion of non-trading business revenue has broken through a critical threshold, causing the decline in transaction volume to no longer drag down the company's total revenue in tandem.
The most important variable to watch over the next seven days is the marginal trend of crypto spot trading volume in total revenue contribution and the pace of business advancement for non-trading products.
#财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer from Google and Tesla this time? #SPCX因星舰发射与解禁引发多空分歧#Korean Storage Giants Secure Major AI Orders from Dual Titans
AI computing power enters the order fulfillment phase
The AI industry chain welcomes another major positive development
South Korea's storage chip leaders Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix simultaneously secured long-term cooperation orders from AI giant Anthropic. Meanwhile, NVIDIA announced a $1 billion investment in South Korean internet giant Naver to build an AI data center and further expand cooperation with SK Group. This series of moves indicates that the global AI competition has shifted from model competition to infrastructure competition.
What truly deserves attention is not just one or two orders, but the fact that global tech giants continue to increase capital expenditures.
Whether it's OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, or Microsoft, they are all continuously increasing AI computing power investments. HBM high-bandwidth memory, GPUs, servers, and data centers have become the scarcest resources in the AI industry chain.
Previously, the market once worried about a slowdown in AI investments, but recent news breaks those concerns. Intel raised its earnings guidance, Qualcomm announced price hikes, and now Samsung and SK Hynix have secured long-term orders again, all indicating that AI demand remains strong and has gradually expanded from GPUs to storage, networking equipment, and data centers across the entire industry chain.
I believe this means the AI market is entering its second phase.
The first phase was driven by expectations—whoever told the AI story rose; the second phase competes on orders, performance, and capital expenditures. Whoever can continuously secure AI orders has a better chance of market revaluation.
For the capital market, $NVDA, $AMD, $AVGO, $TSM, and other computing power and semiconductor leaders remain the core beneficiaries, while Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will continue to benefit from the supply shortage of HBM and growing AI server demand.
For the crypto market, this also sends a positive signal.
As AI infrastructure continues to expand, AI sector tokens are expected to keep attracting capital attention. Projects like $TAO, $FET, and $RENDER remain important representatives of the AI sector. Meanwhile, the improved AI industry outlook also helps enhance overall market risk appetite, indirectly supporting mainstream crypto assets like $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL.
What the market really needs to focus on is not whether the AI concept can still be promoted, but whether global tech giants continue to invest.
As long as data centers are still being built, GPUs are still being continuously procured, and HBM remains in short supply, it means this AI industry cycle is far from over. The true beneficiaries in the future will not only be model companies but the entire computing power industry chain and related assets developed around the AI ecosystem. Big Tech's earnings delivered the reality check the AI trade has been dodging. Alphabet and Tesla both reported, and both stocks sank, not on weak results (Google Cloud grew 82%) but on rising AI capex guidance. The market has flipped: spending on AI used to be rewarded as vision, now it's scrutinized as cost.
This is the same story that hit semis all week, viewed from the demand side. Investors aren't questioning whether AI is real; they're questioning the return on hundreds of billions in capex before the revenue catches up. For crypto it's a useful mirror: narratives get repriced the moment the market demands proof over promise. Risk-off today (BTC $64K) echoes that same "show me the ROI" mood bleeding across tech.
Just my read, not advice. The grand finale at the end of the month is July 30th
In the last few days of July, don't be fooled by the sluggish noodles. On Thursday (7/30), Beijing time, there were two major surprises:
At 2 a.m., the Federal Reserve made its decision. This time, no one is betting on a rate cut—the probability is basically zero, and the disagreement is only about "holding the price or raising 25 basis points." Two weeks ago, the probability of a rate hike was just over 10%. With oil prices breaking 100 and the US-Iran war starting, the rate has now soared to over 35%. The real highlight is Walsh's 2:30 launch event—he talks little, gives no guidance, and can reset September with just one sentence.
8:30 PM, Q2 GDP. The current tracking value is only 1.7%, colder than Q1. Growth and cooling, inflation still burning—that kind of stagflation.
Bitcoin is stuck at 65,000, sentiment hit rock bottom (fear index 29), and ETFs are still bleeding. Throwing data on such a thin plate only makes a bigger splash
🔴 Pressure 66,000-67,000
🟢 Support at 62,000 and 58,000 is the lifeline
My approach: don't heavily bet on direction before data is realized; lightly hold and wait for boots. #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? $BTC $ETH $SNDK ⚠️ Let's start with an unusual phenomenon: the S&P 500 barely fell, the Dow even rose, but the Nasdaq and several tech leaders clearly weakened. This is not a broad rally or a broad decline, but rather capital rearranging its seats. 📊 Latest closing data: As of 00:10 Beijing time on July 27, US stocks are closed for the weekend. The latest effective data is the closing at 04:00 on July 25: SPY: $738.93, +0.10%; QQQ: $684.23, -1.12%; DIA: $518.76, +0.48%; AAPL: $333.02, +3.53%; GOOGL: $319.74, +0.65%. MSFT: $381.70, +0.03% NVDA: $206.84, -0.92% AMZN: $232.11, -0.66% META: $595.19, -1.80% TSLA: $313.03, -2.08% 🍎 Apple is strong, but can't save the entire tech sector Apple rose 3.53% in a single day, with its stock price very close to its 52-week high of $334.99. However, at the same time, QQQ fell 1.12%, with Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla collectively pulling back. This shows that funds are not indiscriminately buying tech stocks, but are instead flowing into a handful of strong companies. Nowadays, the US stock market isn't just about "buying tech"—it's about choosing the wrong stock, and the index rise has nothing to do with you. 🔍 Watching next week我本来只想试试Babylon，结果把测试仓玩成了生死局
我一开始真没想玩这么大。刚进Babylon TBV测试网时，我只建了一个小Vault，借了一点测试资产，健康因子也很安全。那时候我还装得挺理性，告诉自己只是体验流程，绝不加杠杆。
结果不到十分钟，我就开始嫌仓位太轻。测试币又不是真钱，怕什么？于是我把能借的额度一点点往上拉。每点一次确认，我都觉得自己不是在冒险，而是在“提高资金利用率”。
赌狗最擅长的，就是给上头找一个听起来很专业的理由。
健康因子慢慢往下掉，我反而越看越顺眼。数字越接近1，我越觉得这套仓位用得充分。直到BTC突然向下插了一根，我才发现，所谓“高资金利用率”，翻译成人话就是离爆仓不远了。
页面出现风险提示时，我其实可以先还一部分。但我没还。我盯着K线想，再等一下，反弹一根就安全了。
结果反弹没等到，健康因子先跌破了1，排在前面的Vault直接进入清算流程。
那一刻我终于不装了。我开始疯狂回忆自己建仓时到底做了什么：哪个Vault排在前面，哪个排在后面，清算会不会把所有BTC一起处理掉？
也是到这时候，我才真正意识到，TBV里的Vault不是页面上随便起的一个名字。每个Vault背后，都是Bitcoin网络上的独立UTXO。它们没有混进一个公共资金池，而是一笔一笔分开的。
清算也不是平台想拿多少就拿多少，而是按照已经设置好的Vault顺序，以完整Vault为单位执行。说白了，我之前拆Vault时嫌麻烦，现在真出事了，才发现那其实是在提前安排自己的“爆仓顺序”。
更让我印象深刻的是，整个过程中，BTC根本没有被搬去另一条链。借款状态、健康因子和清算条件在外部DeFi应用里变化，但原生BTC一直锁在Bitcoin上，没有封装成另一种资产，也没有先交给某个托管方保管。
以前我玩DeFi，最怕的不是行情跌，而是行情跌的时候，跨链桥、托管方和协议一起出问题。TBV没有解决赌狗爱加杠杆的问题，也不会因为你嘴硬就放过清算。
但它至少把两件事分开了：
我可以因为仓位太重而爆仓，这是我的判断错误；但我不需要为了使用BTCFi，再额外把BTC的控制权交给别人。
这次只是测试网，爆掉的也不是真钱，但我还是被教育得挺彻底。以前我建仓，第一件事是算自己还能借多少；现在我会先想，如果BTC突然砸下来，哪个Vault先被清算，哪个Vault还能留下。
Babylon TBV没有让我戒掉杠杆。
它只是让我明白了一件事：
赌可以继续赌，但钥匙不能一起押上。

$BABY $BTC
I'm not convinced that long-term Bitcoin holders—who now control a record share of the supply—are suddenly going to start dumping coins here just because the Nasdaq might see another leg lower.
The Nasdaq is already roughly 10% off its highs. Unless your view is that equities are entering a broader macro bear market, the realistic downside from here doesn't seem enormous. Even in a weaker scenario, we're probably talking about another 5–10%.
What's interesting is that Bitcoin hasn't been moving in lockstep with the Nasdaq for quite some time. Over the past year, it's often traded on its own set of drivers, and on higher time frames the relationship has been far less straightforward than many assume.
We've also seen BTC front-run major turns in risk assets before. Because of that, I don't think a potential Nasdaq move lower, by itself, is a particularly strong case for calling for new Bitcoin lows.
Could it happen? Sure. But I think the argument needs more than just "Nasdaq down, therefore BTC down."

#BTCSecurityAlliance #ETHExitQueueZero #OKXTraderVoices 加密市场前路未卜：关键数据密集来袭，市场静待方向抉择
过去一周，科技巨头的财报季已让市场经历了一轮洗礼。随着谷歌、特斯拉、英伟达相继“交卷”，投资者的耐心与信心正面临考验。而接下来四天，才是真正的“硬仗”——美联储利率决议、关键经济数据公布，以及微软、Meta、亚马逊、苹果等核心标的的业绩将接连落地。
巨头先行，答卷并不完美
回顾已披露的业绩，谷歌在云业务增速放缓的背景下，自由现金流表现不及预期，引发市场对其资本开支效率的追问；特斯拉则因利润率下滑，利润端出现明显承压。至于英伟达，尽管账面仍存可观的浮盈，但其估值水平与客户集中度风险始终是悬在头上的利剑，市场对其未来增速的可持续性存疑。
周三：利率决议与微软、Meta的“双重考验”
周三，美联储将公布最新利率决策。目前市场普遍预期基准利率将维持不变，但核心看点在于鲍威尔在发布会上的措辞。我判断，其表态大概率将维持谨慎的鹰派基调，强调对通胀的警惕，但在实际操作层面，流动性收紧的空间已相当有限。当前美国科技企业正处在AI基础设施的投入高峰，若过度收紧，将直接冲击算力产业链的融资环境与扩张意愿。
同日，微软与Meta的财报将率先登场。对于微软，市场焦点将集中于Azure云业务的增速。若其恒定汇率增速低于38%的关键心理关口，可能会触发部分资金暂时离场观望。而Meta在过去数个季度股价持续低迷，若扎克伯格在业绩会上再次释放出将持续大幅增加AI资本开支的信号，而缺乏清晰的商业化时间表，恐怕会令市场耐心耗尽，资金加速流出。
周四：GDP与PCE联手施压，消费电子巨头迎考
周四的压力更为直接。美国二季度GDP初值与核心PCE通胀数据将先后揭晓。当前市场最担忧的情景莫过于“滞胀”预期升温——即经济增长出现放缓迹象，而通胀却顽固地维持在2.5%附近。若这一组合成真，高估值的科技成长股将面临进一步的估值压缩压力。
业绩方面，亚马逊和苹果将压轴登场。亚马逊AWS的增速是核心变量，美银预计其云业务增速约为33%。若能达到或超过这一水平，将对英伟达、SK海力士、美光等算力存储产业链形成正面提振；反之，则可能引发整个AI硬件链条的短期震荡。对于苹果，市场已不再满足于库克的前瞻指引，中国市场iPhone的实际出货量及收入变化，才是决定股价走向的关键标尺。
与前两年市场愿意为AI远景给予高溢价不同，当下的投资者已变得极度务实。现金流质量、客户多元化程度以及资本回报率，成为衡量企业价值的新标准。未来几天，将是一次对全球核心科技资产成色的全面摸底。
盘面表现与ETF资金动向
回到今日的加密市场，走势依然疲软。截至北京时间7月26日下午，比特币（BTC）维持在65,200至65,400美元区间窄幅震荡。技术面上，65,700美元成为短线破位后反抽的关键观察位，而上方66,200-66,500美元区域已形成新的压力带。以太坊（ETH）则缓慢爬升至1,880美元附近，反弹力度明显不足，多头动能匮乏。
值得注意的是，尽管近期部分比特币ETF偶有资金净流入，但行情并未跟随上涨，呈现“价格不跟”的状态。这表明，流入资金可能仅为短期套利或对冲盘，而存量资金仍在持续撤离，市场缺乏新增的中长线配置力量。
在宏观不确定性落地之前，风险资产难有趋势性行情。对于那些持续烧钱、商业化前景不明，或客户结构过于单一的标的，无论是传统科技股还是加密资产，短期都不宜激进参与。
本文仅为市场分析与观点分享，不构成任何投资建议。The market appears to be rebounding, but the real pricing is selective harvesting
Is this a sign of a comprehensive recovery, or is it capital concentrating on safe havens?
The core judgment of the original text is: this is not the starting point for a broad rally for altcoins, but rather a precise liquidity harvest. Funds have not spread evenly across the entire market, but are highly concentrated in BTC, ETH, and a few sector leaders, forming an "organized local rebound" rather than a full recovery. This view aligns closely with on-chain data and the divergence in sector strength.
Key fact: The original text divides the market into three tiers. The first layer is liquidity magnets: BTC and ETH are the core anchors for institutional funds. SOL follows due to its high beta attributes but fluctuates sharply, while TAO and WLD represent sentiment leading indicators for AI concepts but are still in the early speculative stage. The second layer consists of incentive tokens: MEME, HUMA, EDEN, AERO, etc., driven by specific narratives (Meme, DeFi, L2), but with unstable trading volumes. If BTC stabilizes, they may become candidates for the next rotation. The third layer is consistently weak coins: TRUMP, VIRTUAL, SPACE, etc., barely rebound, indicating the market is voting with its feet, liquidating projects lacking fundamentals or overdrawn narratives, with liquidity drying up. Any pullback will accelerate downward movement.
Market structure changes: The HYPE indicator shows a neutral risk appetite, with speculative funds still on the sidelines; Retail sentiment indicators such as DOGE and ZEC showed limited gains, indicating that retail capital has not yet entered the market on a large scale. This means that the current rebound is not driven by retail FOMO, but by existing institutions allocated to specific assets.
Transmission logic and pricing impact:
- Bullish path: If BTC breaks through previous highs and drives ETH up strongly, funds will flow from leading stocks to Layer 2 tokens, forming healthy sector rotation. Condition: Macro data (such as CPI, Federal Reserve statements) do not cause disturbances.
- Bearish risk: If BTC fluctuates at this level and then pulls back, due to the very poor "width" of the rebound—most coins did not follow the rally—they lack support, and pullbacks will accelerate blood loss. Condition: BTC cannot hold high levels or unexpected macro negative factors occur.
Conclusion: At this stage, one should not blindly buy altcoins, but rather observe which tokens can independently break the trend during BTC sideways trading. It wouldn't be too late to act after it had proven its own strength.
What do you think: if BTC holds above $100,000, can ETH take over as the engine for the next round of capital rotation? $BTC $ETH $SOL #板块强弱Do you think that as long as the market drops, retail investors should be scared out of their wits?
But recently, I've been watching ETH's long-short data and noticed a particularly counterintuitive phenomenon—the lower the price, the more excited the bulls become, like running into a supermarket when they see a discount. But if they rebound even slightly, these people would quickly take profits and flee as if burned. They talk about holding long-term, but in reality, they can't even hold onto two or three bullish candlesticks. The proportion of long-short accounts flips every few minutes, and the number of positions fluctuates with the price: when prices rise, they rush to add positions; when they fall, they quickly retreat. This feeling is faster than flipping a book, but what about real big money? Reduce positions when necessary, observe when necessary; don't chase just because of a single bullish candle, nor panic because of a single bearish candle.
I myself have 🍓 fallen for ETH. ETHUSDT perpetual, cross-margin 10x, opening price 2117.84 USDT, current price 1881.27 USDT, unrealized loss 1328.29 USDT, return -125.94%, margin ratio reduced to 2.71%. It has been falling steadily from $2,400 for almost three months now. Every day, people are calling for bottom-fishing, and there are also people cutting losses. But I think what the market is really trading isn't whether ETH can break above 2400, but rather the completely different capital preferences between retail investors and institutions.
- Retail investors prefer to buy the bottom emotionally on long positions but lack patience, rushing to cash in at the first sign of a profit.
- Institutions pay more attention to risk-reward ratios, preferring to wait for lower levels or clear right-side signals.
- Recent security hacking incidents have also affected sentiment, shifting some funds toward safer assets or cold wallets, draining a portion of liquidity.
The bullish logic is: if ETH can hold above $1900 and then challenge $2000, it could attract a wave of wait-and-see funds entering the market, leading to a short-term rebound. But the risk is that the current bullish bottom-fishing forces are too fragile. If the rebound fails, it could actually fuel the next wave of declines. After all, when open interest rapidly decreases during a decline, it indicates strong bullish willingness to stop losses, making the price easily suppressed by bears.
So my judgment is: ETH is now more like a bottoming out rather than reversing. Retail investors' emotional fluctuations actually make big money more willing to wait. Instead of worrying about gains and losses every day, it's better to control your position and patiently wait for a clearer signal. I hope that next time I open my account, I'll no longer see the glaring red.

$ETH $BTC #以太坊 #市场情绪 #资金偏好Regarding the settlement agreement between Core Foundation and Maple Finance regarding the downfall of the pioneer of mobile mining
$CORE 0.015 CORE/USDT -50% "Neither side admits fault, but time can't afford to drag on"
1. Restoring the Incident Context
In early 2025, Core Foundation and Maple Finance will jointly launch lstBTC, allowing Bitcoin holders to earn yields through the Core chain. Core invested in technology, marketing, and substantial subsidies; Maple's assets under management (AUM) soared from less than $500 million to $2.8 billion, and the lstBTC pilot project absorbed over $150 million in Bitcoin deposits.
But in mid-2025, Maple is accused of using confidential information obtained from the collaboration to secretly develop the competitor syrupBTC, violating the 24-month exclusivity clause in both parties' agreement. Core then applied for an injunction at the Cayman Islands High Court, successfully blocking Maple from launching syrupBTC and prohibiting Maple from trading CORE tokens.
More trickily, Maple later claimed it would impose an impairment on the $150 million Bitcoin deposit, implying it might not be able to fully repay the user's principal. Core insisted that these assets were stored in a bankruptcy segregation structure and Maple had no right to write them down.
2. The true nature of the settlement agreement
The settlement statement you see is a typical PR pitch of "neither side admits fault":
"The settlement is not, and is not to be construed as, an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party."
But that doesn't mean the Core gets nothing. The core logic of the settlement is a deal, not a judgment:
What did Maple get?
Continue launching syrupBTC's rights: With the ban lifted, Maple can proceed with its Bitcoin yield product as originally planned
Avoid being permanently banned from entering the track by the court
Protecting the company's reputation and operational continuity (Maple manages over $3 billion in assets, and the litigation dragging on is a fatal blow to its financing and partnerships)
What does the Core gain (implicit)
Costs of Terminating Arbitration and Litigation: Cross-border arbitration + Cayman court proceedings, attorney fees and time are astronomical
Secure recovery of $150 million in Bitcoin deposits: this is the most critical point. Maple previously threatened to "impair" user deposits. If Maple falls into a liquidity crisis or even bankruptcy due to litigation, Core, as a partner, will face far greater chain reactions (user compensation, reputation collapse) than losing an exclusive partner. The settlement is likely to be premised on Maple promising to return the user's principal in full or at a high rate
Possible settlement: The statement said the financial terms were confidential, meaning Maple likely paid Core an undisclosed amount in compensation in exchange for Core dropping the lawsuit and waiving exclusive rights
Stop-loss: CORE tokens have already dropped about 90% by 2025, and ongoing litigation exposure is a continuous bleeding on token prices and community confidence. Ending a dispute is about stopping the bleeding
3. Why Not Just "Free Traffic Generation"
Your feeling—"Core helped Maple validate the track, and eventually Maple took the resources and jumped ship to do it himself"—is valid on a business level. But behind this lies several harsh realities:
1. The lstBTC model itself has already gone bankrupt
Some observers point out that lstBTC's earnings actually come from inflation/subsidies from CORE tokens, rather than actual Bitcoin yields. After CORE token prices plummeted 90%, this yield model itself is no longer sustainable. Even if Maple doesn't jump ship, lstBTC could still die out naturally due to the collapse of its tokenomic model.
2. Contract fragility in hybrid DeFi
This case exposed the structural risks of "on-chain products and off-chain contracts." Maple is an independent, mature DeFi platform with technical capabilities and a strong user base. A 24-month exclusive agreement is valid on paper, but in an open-source, permissionless industry, it's nearly impossible to prevent a mature platform from developing a competing product. Lawsuits can be delayed, but they cannot be stopped forever.
3. Strategic shift in Core
In the settlement statement, Core said, "We will continue to focus on advancing the Core network and expanding its Bitcoin product offerings." This suggests that Core has abandoned the path of lstBTC through Maple and is instead developing its own infrastructure or seeking new partners. The marginal return from entangling with old debts is now lower than the marginal return from looking ahead.
4. Summary
The essence of this settlement agreement is:
Maple redeemed the freedom to launch competing products with money/commitments (confidentiality clauses); Core exchanged its exclusive rights for the real benefits of ending the lawsuit, preserving user assets, and stopping the token price from bleeding.
So Maple continues to push syrupBTC not because it "won" or Core "chickened out," but because halfway through the business war, both sides realized that continuing the fight cost outweighed the gains. Maple gained product freedom, Core received stop-losses and possible compensation—a typical "out-of-court split" outcome in the crypto industry.
As for whether the $150 million Bitcoin deposit can safely return to users, that is the real test of this settlement. If Maple ultimately returns the user's principal in full, it shows that $CORE's tough stance (applying for injunctions, public pressure) has indeed helped protect the community; If users are ultimately "devalued," then the settlement is truly a failure.

Take for example an NFT worth 160 ETH. In just one day, its owner earned 13 ETH from transaction fees. ⚡
Naturally, he accepts the 0.000025% probability of being withdrawn by someone else. If that risk occurs, 160 ETH will evaporate instantly. 💰
The mechanic itself is a pure game of chance. But the way it's designed is truly genius. 🎲
@RhynoticChangxin's IPO: Why is it firmly bearish on Samsung and SK Hynix?
Changxin Technology will be listed on the STAR Market tomorrow, officially releasing large-scale domestic DRAM production capacity and directly challenging the monopoly of Samsung and SK Hynix.
The surge in storage over the past two years was entirely driven by Korean manufacturers' production and price controls, fully benefiting from AI dividends, with stock prices and valuations already at high levels.
But now the logic has completely reversed:
After Changxin's capacity ramps up, the domestic supply chain will be fully localized, continuously diverting orders from Korean manufacturers. Coupled with the collective expansion of overseas storage giants, DRAM supply will only continue to increase in the future, and the previous price hike cycle has basically peaked.#RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元
The data on RWA perpetual contracts is indeed a bit intimidating.
The report just released by The Block shows that the monthly trading volume in June reached $470 billion. It was only $85 billion in January, a 450% increase in half a year. In the first quarter, the entire market's RWA perpetual contracts reached $524.8 billion, surpassing the whole previous year in just one quarter.
The most impressive part is tokenized stocks, which increased sevenfold in half a year. SPCX alone traded $66 billion in June; it just IPOed two weeks ago, and its on-chain trading volume exceeds that of most altcoins over a year. Semiconductor stocks like MU, SNDK, and SK Hynix are also following closely behind.
The platform concentration is also shockingly high. Binance, Hyperliquid, and OKX together account for over 80%, with Binance alone nearly half. Hyperliquid is the only on-chain player among them; in the second week of July, RWA trading volume was $25.1 billion, accounting for 52% of the platform's total trading volume, surpassing all other asset classes combined for the first time. ARK analysts say this marks a new phase for DeFi.
But honestly, there are a few things worth pondering behind the $470 billion figure.
First, how did this money flow in? No KYC, 24/7 trading, up to 20x leverage—things that require filling out a bunch of forms and waiting for T+2 settlement in traditional brokerages can be done with just a wallet address on-chain. This is indeed convenient but also a huge regulatory gray area. The SEC hasn't officially acted yet, but it can't ignore it forever.
Second, the growth relies heavily on a single event. The June surge was largely driven by the SpaceX IPO. SPCX alone traded $66 billion, accounting for about one-seventh of the entire sector. Once the IPO momentum fades, whether daily trading volume can hold up is the real test.
Third, traditional finance is accelerating its entry. On July 16, DTCC launched tokenized real asset testing, with JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and BlackRock all on the list. Ondo also launched Ondo Perps in early July, supporting tokenized stocks as collateral with up to 20x leverage. Coinbase Ventures has already listed RWA perpetuals as a primary investment track. The sector is growing, but competition is also intensifying.
RWA perpetuals grew from $85 billion to $470 billion in just half a year. The speed is indeed fierce, but the fiercer the sector, the tighter the regulatory scrutiny. A $470 billion derivatives market without KYC cannot remain in a gray area forever. Let me explain why the approval window is from late July to early August.
The end of July is the Senate's voting window.
August 7 marks the start of the summer recess for the Senate.
If it doesn't pass on August 7, then the midterm election cycle will follow, and the bill will basically not pass.
If you experienced the market during Bitcoin's ETF passage, I think you can also understand that this bill could be a catalyst for $BTC new highs in future bull markets.
If you say the two are not the same, it only means you are too naive. It's simply not suitable for playing financial games.I just saw some data: ETH's gas average this week is less than 5 gwei.
Three years ago, when prices fell below 10 Gwei, everyone was shouting, 'In a big bull market, come buy the dip.' The chain is quiet now, and transaction volume hasn't shrunk much, but hardly anyone is issuing ERC20 anymore.
Let me share two observations 👇
1️⃣ L2s are starting to consume traffic
The daily active addresses of Arbitrum and Base are already more than three times those on the Ethereum mainnet. The old hype of "Ethereum is insufficient, so L2 is needed" has now become "everyone is playing on L2, who would return to mainnet?"
2️⃣ ETH's positioning is gradually changing
In the past, people bought ETH to "use gas on Ethereum," but now it's more about stockpiling as a substitute for BTC. Staking yields just over 3% annualized, which is somewhat better than buying wealth products, but when it comes to capturing value, it feels a bit awkward.
Personally, I think ETH will eventually find a new narrative. The DeFi cycle relied on TVL, the NFT wave relied on memes and hype. What will happen next?
I don't have an answer yet, but the number of real users and developers on-chain is there, and the foundation is solid. Now it's all about whether we can come up with the next killer app.
#ETH #以太坊 #cryptoTrump reported $1.4B+ in crypto income for 2025.
Breakdown from his financial disclosure:
$635M — $TRUMP meme coin sales
$770M— World Liberty Financial
$520M from token sales
$250M from selling business interests
That’s a 9x jump from last year. Crypto is now his largest source of income.
Meanwhile the Senate can’t move the CLARITY Act.
Democrats argue you can’t have a president regulating crypto while making $1B+ from it.
Republicans argue the bill shouldn’t be written around one person.
The current draft would ban sitting officials from issuing or sponsoring new digital assets.
But it doesn’t fully address family-run projects.
Conflict or not — this is why ethics is holding up the biggest crypto bill in years.

Damn! Ethereum staking exits have completely cooled off, but the entries are packed like a doghouse! What the hell are these people on?
Stop fixating on that damn exit queue. It’s not "down to zero," it’s dead. Those who wanted to leave have already left. Now the door is wide open, the wind is blowing hard, and not a single person wants to walk out. On the flip side, 2.48 million ETH are stuck tight at the entrance, with an average wait of 43 days to get in. One side is so empty you could run a horse race, the other side is so congested it’s hard to even breathe. This isn’t some kind of "balance," it’s a blatant supply-demand rupture.
Across the entire network, 40.9 million ETH are locked up, accounting for 33.55% of total supply, with 885,000 validators still grinding away, yielding only 2.64% annually. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields start at 4.5%, oil prices are still hovering in triple digits, and inflation is suffocating central banks. 2.64%? That return isn’t even enough to get a dog to lick it. Yet these people keep rushing in. What are they after? Not interest, but position. Institutions want on-chain seats, overseas capital wants to secure their spot before laws like CLARITY come into effect. Yield is just a bonus; the real logic is "one less circulating coin, one more chip under control."
Last September, the exit queue clogged up to over 2.6 million ETH, scaring the market senseless. Now exits are empty, entries are clogged, and net flow has completely flipped. The daily sell pressure of about 1,800 ETH evaporates instantly, and new inflows have to be locked for 43 days. Short-term circulating supply is tightening continuously. This isn’t gentle "long-term confidence," it’s capital openly telling you: the dumpers are gone, and the entrants are still lining up.
The Pectra upgrade is just around the corner, and some are already shouting that the staking rate might surge above 50%. Once it passes half, exchange liquidity will dry up even more. This scene is reminiscent of the on-chain movements before the 2020 DeFi Summer—data moves first, price follows. But don’t be naive; if the price suddenly spikes to a level that tempts people to cash out, that empty exit queue will clog up like a parking lot in a second.
Traders, analysts, and veteran holders on X see it more bluntly. Some curse: "2.64% and still rushing in? Either they truly believe ETH will go to the moon, or they’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey."
Institutional voices are colder: "We’re not here for the interest, we’re here to hold spots. Dollar exposure is more important than that lousy yield." Others link this to BTC: "ETH locking accelerates, funds are actually swinging between both sides. ETF net inflows and BTC creeping up from over 60k show some have moved low-yield ETH chips to bet on macro narratives."
In short, it’s the same story on both sides—whales are locking chips tight, not here to play short-term chopping games. The harsher ones say: "The exit queue is empty like a parking lot and no one’s leaving? It’s not that they don’t want to run, the price just hasn’t risen to the level that makes them want to dump. Waiting for the wind? The wind has been howling in the staking pool for a while; it’s just a matter of who jumps ship first."
Macro pressures remain, but on-chain is already heavily bullish. The exit door is wide open, and no one wants to leave; the entry queue is jammed, and no one’s backing out. Sell pressure is completely gone, demand keeps pushing in, and there’s only one direction—hold tight and savor it!After making it through 2018’s crash and 2021’s mania, I’ve learned 8 hard lessons that separate those who survive from those who get wiped. 🚨
These aren’t just errors — they’re mental traps built to drain your account. Let’s break them down.
1. The "perfect cycle" is a liquidation trap
You’ll hear it everywhere: “BTC tops first, then ETH, then alts.” 2021 blew that up. High-beta assets often pump together, not in a neat order.
The real edge is divergence: ETH and beta plays can outrun Bitcoin’s slow grind. Dominance falls because cycles rotate — and they don’t pause for your bias to confirm.
2. Most people trade backwards
Retail loves to build “long-term bags” at bull market tops when everything feels safe, then dumps in the bear when fear peaks.
Truth is: BEAR markets = accumulation. BULL markets = momentum + scaling in.
Selling into euphoria is brutal. Buying when everything’s bleeding is harder. FOMO makes you think every exit is wrong, but holding too long is the real mistake.
3. Don’t rent conviction
A solid project, real product, perfect thesis — crypto will still shake you out violently before it pays you. If the belief isn’t yours, you’ll fold early.
And stop waiting for perfect confirmation. If $57K was the BTC bottom, you might not get a clean signal until $84K. By then you’ve missed half the move. TA helps, but chasing “safety” kills alpha.
4. Time breaks more people than price
Anyone can handle a 50% drop for a few weeks. But months of sideways, boring, uncertain chop? That’s where portfolios go to die.
The best setups form when nothing’s happening and nobody wants to wait.
Also: a great project is not always a great token. Tokenomics, unlocks, inflation, and value capture matter more than the team’s pedigree.
And being right about the tech doesn’t mean you’ll make money.
Survival in crypto is 80% psychology. The market rewards patience, contrarian timing, and owning your thesis — not chasing narratives.

#DailyOrbit @OKX Orbit RWA perpetual monthly trading volume has reached 470 billion USD, is this thing about to change the crypto world? Pharaoh directly says, this is not a change of the guard, this is the crypto world swallowing the traditional financial dining table. In six months, it soared from 85 billion to 470 billion, a 450% increase. SpaceX alone did 66 billion in trading volume in a single month, more than many major crypto projects do in a year. Who is pushing this market? Binance, Hyperliquid, and OKX together hold over 80% of the share, with Binance alone taking half. Hyperliquid is even more aggressive; last week RWA trading volume accounted for 54% of the entire platform, surpassing native crypto assets for the first time. ARK Invest analysts directly say, "We are entering a new era of DeFi." The hottest thing on-chain now is no longer speculating on altcoins, but using USDC margin around the clock to leverage trade U.S. stocks, oil, and gold. Want to trade Nvidia at 2 a.m.? Traditional brokers are closed, but crypto exchanges are open 24/7. This is the core value of RWA perpetuals—extending Wall Street's business hours from 6.5 hours a day to all year round without rest. But Pharaoh has to warn you. This 470 billion is all synthetic perpetual contracts; what you buy is price exposure, not real stocks, no voting rights, no dividends. Also, this thing basically has no regulatory framework now; you can go all-in with 10x leverage on SpaceX without KYC, the SEC would probably have a stroke seeing this. Pharaoh still says, if you see the trend right, you must understand the gameplay before jumping in. RIs the dog farm targeting my stop-loss line? Precise demolition followed by an instant rally—I'm familiar with this script!
Brothers, tonight I was once again the "chosen one." Right after the bullish stop loss was precisely triggered, the price rebounded like a laxative and pulled back to the cost zone. When I opened my account, I saw -1.43 USDT. Not much, but extremely insulting—Did this dog farm install surveillance on my phone? Specifically targeting me while I'm asleep to sneak attack? Alright, since we're going to play, let's clean this plate and see what the dog farm is up to.
Market Review: A Needle Pierces Faith—Is the V-shaped Reversal a Bullish Attraction or a Real Rise?
Opening ZAMAUSDT's 4-hour chart, the structure is quite disgusting. After surging to 0.05838 last night, it started to decline quietly. Today, in the Asian session, it directly broke through the 0.05200 support level, hitting a low of 0.05017, just sweeping through my stop loss line at 0.05046. Note that this position is the lower boundary of the previous intensive trading zone and also the support level for the EMA120. The Dog Market was very bad, deliberately using a needle insertion to break the long stop-loss position, then quickly pulled back to 0.05470, leaving a long lower shadow.
Looking at volume, the 24-hour trading volume was 1.7 billion ZAMA, with a decent turnover rate. However, the wave of sell-offs saw obvious volume growth, followed by a rebound with shrinking volume, indicating that it wasn't new capital entering the market, but rather the old players 'cleaning up the battlefield'—washing out unstable bulls and taking advantage of the bleeding chips at low levels. On the technical side, the EMA5 (0.05338) just crossed above the EMA10 (0.05274), showing signs of a golden cross in the short term, but the MACD is still below the zero axis, and the daily chart remains bearish. This rebound is most likely just a correction rally; don't chase after the rally.
Trading direction: Short-term game for a rebound, but don't mistake a rebound for a reversal
Since the dog dealer has revealed its cards—0.05000 below is the solid bottom—short-term strategies should revolve around this range. The first resistance above is at 0.05550 (near EMA20), and the second resistance is at 0.05700. My plan is: if it pulls back to 0.05250 and doesn't break through, light positions and test long positions, set a stop loss at 0.05180, targeting 0.05500; if it rises directly to around 0.05600, consider small short positions, stop loss at 0.05720, and gamble for a second pullback. Remember, don't be greedy in a volatile market. If there's profit, run. Dog dealers are best at sweeping back and forth.
Trading tip: Cutting losses is the dad's responsibility, but sometimes the dad can also mess with his son
To be honest—who hasn't experienced a reversal after being swept to stop loss? I've counted before and found that at least 30% of transactions have been "precisely targeted." The problem isn't the stop-loss itself, but the obvious stop-loss setting is visible throughout the market. Next time, learn your lesson: stop loss should either be placed farther below the structure or use a "time stop"—if the price has been sideways in the cost zone for more than 12 hours, exit proactively and don't let the dealer be a target.
Also, keep your mindset steady. -1.43 USDT is like paying respects to the dog farm; as long as you have your capital, there are plenty of opportunities. Remember, the market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is patience and discipline. Tonight's market is going on, I admit defeat, but I refuse to accept it. Once the pullback is in place, he'll fight the dog dealer for three hundred rounds.
(PS: If this post gets posted and ZAMA explodes, then I suggest the dog farm give me some advertising fees. ）

What it means that Samsung phone system wallet natively integrates stablecoins comprehensively
1. For the general public: Stablecoins completely shed the "niche crypto circle" label and become a built-in daily payment tool on phones
The usage threshold is completely leveled
Previously, to use USDC/USDT, you had to separately download a crypto wallet, memorize seed phrases, deal with networks, and understand blockchain transfers, which discouraged 95% of ordinary people;
Now Samsung Galaxy phones come pre-installed with a wallet, allowing you to store, send, and receive digital dollars as easily as using a bank card or transit card, with no need to understand blockchain knowledge.
Cross-border remittances become a popular option
Overseas workers, international students, and ordinary people making cross-border transfers no longer need to rely on banks (which have high fees, slow arrivals, and limits); stablecoins in the phone arrive instantly with very low fees. People in countries with severe inflation and currency depreciation can directly hold digital dollars on their phones to preserve value.
The definition of phone wallets is completely rewritten
Wallets no longer just hold access cards, IDs, and bank cards, but become the total entry point for personal digital assets: fiat currency + digital dollars + various certificates all managed in one place.
2. Mobile industry: Samsung seizes the next-generation mobile finance track, forcing Apple and Google to follow
Samsung is the world's first major phone manufacturer to integrate stablecoins into the system-level wallet. Apple Pay and Google Wallet have so far completely refused native stablecoin support:
Samsung creates differentiated competitiveness: emerging overseas markets and users in Europe and America will prioritize Samsung phones because of this digital dollar payment system;
Industry competition begins: subsequently, Apple, Huawei, Xiaomi, and other manufacturers will be forced to research digital stablecoin adaptation. Smartphone competition extends from hardware and photography to mobile digital financial control;
Phones are no longer just communication devices but become portable hardware banks (relying on Samsung Knox hardware encryption isolation, asset security level is higher than ordinary app wallets).
3. Cryptocurrency industry: Stablecoins officially enter the mainstream financial system, leaving behind the niche speculative circle
USDC (USD stablecoin) sees massive incremental demand
The launch event mainly promoted USDC, the USD stablecoin issued by Circle, gaining endorsement from top tech giants, greatly increasing circulation and global recognition; the overall scale of USD stablecoins will continue to surge.
Blockchain shifts from a speculation tool to a payment infrastructure
Funds are no longer only used to buy and sell Bitcoin and Ethereum for speculation but more for daily consumption, transfers, and savings; public chains (Ethereum, layer-2 networks, etc.) will gain a large amount of real transaction volume, benefiting the entire blockchain ecosystem.
Institutional confidence fully recovers
Global banks, payment companies, and tech enterprises generally recognize stablecoins as the future universal internet digital currency, accelerating compliant deployment rhythms.
4. US dollar globalization (geopolitical financial level): Digital dollars further penetrate globally through mobile terminals
This is the deepest impact:
Stablecoins are essentially digital dollars. Samsung's billions of phones worldwide are like putting digital dollar wallets into ordinary people's hands, allowing the dollar hegemony to continue sinking via mobile terminals;
For developing countries with weak foreign exchange reserves and volatile currencies, people will spontaneously hold digital dollars on their phones, weakening the discourse power of their local fiat currencies and domestic banks;
The US financial system builds a new cross-border digital dollar circulation network through tech terminals, bypassing traditional bank clearing systems.
5. South Korea's local finance: South Korea accelerates building a local digital currency system
Samsung collaborates with South Korea's Shinhan and Hana banks to simultaneously develop won-pegged stablecoins, embracing USD stablecoins for global adaptation while creating local digital won, balancing openness and monetary sovereignty;
South Korea will become the leading country in East Asia for compliant digital asset and stablecoin implementation.
6. Risks and limitations (not just positive outlooks)
Strong regulatory barriers in various countries
The EU MiCA regulation and central banks worldwide will issue restrictive rules. This functionality will likely only be available in parts of Europe, America, and Southeast Asia, not globally universal;
Asset custody model undecided: if Samsung or third-party institutions hold private keys, platform risk control and fund freezing risks remain;
China explicitly prohibits any stablecoin and cryptocurrency trading and circulation domestically, so domestic Samsung phones will not have this feature.
In brief
Samsung's move = putting digital dollars into every smartphone, turning stablecoins from niche speculative assets into everyday wallets, starting a mobile digital finance battle, and further strengthening the global digital dollar hegemony. This wave of BTC short positions is incredibly attractive! 📉 20x leverage, profit jumped directly to +53.49%, 🚀 falling from 66,195 to 64,470. If you go in the right direction, making money is this smooth 😎. Margin is steady, strong parity is far away, hold on and win 💪. Don't always think about bottom-fishing; sometimes going with the trend is the key 🤷 ♂️. #财报观察员: Who can understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? #多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过 $BTC $BTC
In the last bull market cycle, 80% of the peak indicators never reached it. I believe the bottom indicator could also see a similar situation.
Long-term holders' supply is in a loss, already surpassing FTX levels and approaching 2018 levels.
The realized price hovers around 50K, and we test the LTH realized price every cycle, so revisiting is a possible area. However, I am not entirely certain; many top cycle indicators never triggered in the previous cycle, and the same may happen to future bottom indicators.
In any case, the market is already at a loss level comparable to FTX/2018.
This chart can tell you a lot.
