1. Market environment

Last week, BTC spot ETF had a net inflow for 5 consecutive days. The inflow of funds in the past two weeks has offset all the outflows in April. BTC rose 9% in a week, and the price fluctuated around 67,000. CME Federal Reserve observation data shows that the probability of the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged in June is 91.1%, and the probability of keeping interest rates unchanged in August is 70.4%. The SEC will make a decision on the ETH spot ETF this week. The market is currently pessimistic about this, but at the same time, this pessimism may have been priced in in advance. Even if ETH fails, it is highly likely that there will not be a short-term sharp drop.

The Meme sector fell sharply over the weekend, and other altcoins also performed poorly, with the market lacking hot spots. LayerZero Labs released the first potential witch list containing 800,000 addresses, and zkSync officials said that it is expected to hand over governance at the end of June, which may imply that an airdrop will be carried out at the end of June.

2. Wealth-making sector

1) The following sections need to be focused on: Meme

main reason:

• Meme Coin is one of the main themes of this round of market. If the correction continues, the top memes will enter a good entry time;

• Wintermute purchased 2000 SOL MANEKI at the weekend, with a cost price of $0.0098. VCs and market makers began to speculate on meme coins.

Specific project list:

WIF, PEPE, BOME, MEW, MANEKI, etc.

2) The following sectors need to be paid attention to: Fan Token Sector

main reason:

• In the past month, the prices of a large number of altcoins have been cut in half, while the fan token sector has been relatively resilient in the past month, falling by about 5%;

• The approaching European Cup, Americas Cup and Olympics provide a good opportunity for hype of fan tokens;

• Some fan tokens have seen unusual movements recently: Tottenham Hotspur鈥檚 token SPURS rose 14% against the trend on Sunday, and Galatasaray鈥檚 token GAL saw an 8-fold increase in trading volume month-on-month even though the price of the token did not rise, mainly due to the huge improvement in market making on the Turkish local exchange Paribu platform;

Specific project list:

CHZ and fan tokens such as SANTOS, LAZIO, ARG, PSG, SPURS, etc.
