Data statistics time: July 4, 2024 4: 00 (UTC + 0)

1. Market environment

The overall crypto market fell yesterday, and the price of Bitcoin briefly fell below $58,000, and the overall panic in the crypto market soared. Most mainstream currencies have fallen below the daily bull trend line, and the market may have the possibility of further decline.

Yesterday, the Federal Reserve released the minutes of the meeting, saying that further confidence data is needed to support its interest rate cut, suggesting that inflation has not yet reached its target. In terms of Bitcoin ETF, the ETF had a cumulative outflow of 20.5 million US dollars yesterday. The previous market rumor that the Ethereum ETF was expected to officially start trading on July 4 has now been shattered, and the Ethereum ecological token has plummeted.

Solana LST protocol Sanctum announced the details of the airdrop yesterday. 10% of the token supply will be allocated for the initial airdrop, and half of the airdrop (5%) will be allocated according to the proportion of Wonderland XP. The other half (5%) will be allocated according to Earnestness. Sanctum currently has an overall TVL of 790 million US dollars on Solana, and is currently ranked fifth in TVL on the Solana chain.

2. Wealth-making sector

1) Sector changes: DePin (MOBILE, HONEY)

main reason:

Recently, some DePin track projects have frequently announced good news. For example, Helium Mobile will launch a licensing program for its hotspot devices. Through this program, Helium Mobile earns licensing fees from hotspots manufactured elsewhere while developing its cellular network; Hivemapper currently covers 23% of the area in building global maps, etc.

Rising situation: MOBILE rose 70% in the past 7 days, and HONEY rose 48.8% in the past 7 days;

Factors affecting the market outlook:

The future performance of the DePin project will be mainly affected by many factors such as the progress of the project, changes in incentive policies, and the number of global nodes. The core of DePin is to allow more hardware scattered around the world to participate in the incentive network and share the benefits, so more device access will be the primary factor affecting the project. Investors should pay close attention to the projects dynamics and data in this regard to make investment decisions.

2) Sectors that need to be focused on in the future: ETH ecosystem (ENS, SSV)

main reason:

• The Ethereum spot ETF listing and trading plan failed on July 4, causing some tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem to fall. However, there is still a chance that the Ethereum spot ETF will be listed and traded in mid-July, so some tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem may have a certain chance of oversold rebound.

• Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, predicted the launch time of the Ethereum spot ETF. He said that Bloombergs forecast is still mid-July, the revised S-1 is expected to be submitted on July 8, and the final S-1 may be submitted on July 12, which theoretically means it will be launched in the week of July 15.

• Even in the market news on June 29, the US SEC considered the Lido and Rocket Pool staking projects to be securities, which led to the decline of LDO and RPL, it failed to stop the rise of ETH ecological tokens such as ENS and SSV during the market rebound. ENS broke through the highest level in the past 29 months.

Factors affecting the market outlook:

There are two core factors that affect the price of Ethereum ecosystem project tokens: 1. Whether the Ethereum spot ETF can be listed and traded in the near future, and 2. The regulatory attitude of the US SEC towards some projects. If the Ethereum spot ETF can be approved and listed for trading in mid-July, it will be a big positive for all Ethereum ecosystem projects. Otherwise, it may cause trading expectations to fail and lead to market sell-offs.

3) Google Search Region

From a global perspective:

Why is down today:

The crypto market continues to fall, and BTC has a certain support pressure when it drops to 58,000 USD. With the expectation of interest rate cuts in the second half of the year being priced in ahead of time, and with the decline in 10-year Treasury bond yields, the US dollar index is likely to weaken. The interest rate cut will be good for crypto assets, and you can consider planning for the second half of the year in advance.

TAO:

Yesterday, Bittensor was attacked due to the theft of private keys, and 32,000 TAO (worth about 8 million USD) were stolen. As a result, Bittensor (TAO) fell below 240 USDT, temporarily reported at 237 USDT, and fell by more than 10% in 24 hours. The projects token price fell sharply due to the theft, which attracted market attention.

From the hot searches in each region:

(1) Asian countries: The terms “why crypto is down today” and “greed and fear index” appeared at the top of the hot searches in many Asian countries, and investors were most concerned about the reasons for the market crash.

(2) European and American countries: There are no obvious hot spots. The tokens and terms on the top search lists of different countries are different.
