Data statistics time: August 2, 2024 4: 00 (UTC + 0)

1. Market environment

The US ISM manufacturing PMI fell far more than economists expected in July, causing interest rates to fall to multi-month lows across the board. In addition, the number of first-time unemployment claims in the United States jumped to the highest level in about a year. Taken together, these data further confirm that the United States is on the verge of a monetary easing cycle by the Federal Reserve, which is a positive for risk markets in a sense.

Although the U.S. spot Ethereum ETF had a net inflow of $26.2 million and the spot Bitcoin ETF had a net inflow of $50.4 million yesterday, Bitcoin still maintained its downward trend and continued to fall sharply after reaching $70,000 this week. The price fell to a two-week low of $62,700 last night, and the short-term market conditions are poor.

2. Wealth-creating sector

1) Sector changes: Curve-related tokens (CRV, CVX)

main reason:

• The whale has withdrawn a total of 18 million CRV (US$4.68 million) from Binance and OKX in the past 30 hours, with an average price of US$0.26. At the same time, the whale who withdrew CRV from CEX yesterday withdrew another 5.5 million CRV (approximately US$1.51 million) from Binance.

Rising situation: CRV and CVX rose by 7.46% and 5.38% respectively in the past 24 hours;

Factors affecting the market outlook:

• Curve is still one of the best places for stablecoin bulk transactions, and it still maintains a good real profit. Its biggest problem is that its narrative is too old, and there are no new products or operations that excite the market. At the same time, the previous accidents and this liquidation decline inevitably make the market full of concerns. However, the price of CRV bought by many whales in OTC before was higher than 0.3 US dollars, so the current price of CRV is still attractive.

2) Changes in the sector: Meme sector (NEIRO)

main reason:

• NEIRO has received a lot of support from KOLs, especially those in Japanese. With the help of KOLs with tens to hundreds of thousands of fans, such as @apipiro 22, @mikky_ 8080, @yukimaru_potty, @BrotherMKT, @KookCapitalLLC, and @OfficialTravlad, the price of NEIRO has also risen.

Rising situation: NEIRO rose 15% + against the trend on the day;

Factors affecting the market outlook:

• On-chain activity: The valuation of DeFi infrastructure depends on whether the chain can have a stable market share, that is, the number of active on-chain users and DEX trading volume, which has a huge impact on DEX, PERP, language machine, and liquidity staking projects of different public chains. Investors should pay close attention to this type of data so that they can judge the markets upward and downward revisions to their valuations;

• Impact on funding: After the launch of the Ethereum ETF, market funds began to gradually increase the liquidity of ETH. Affected by the increase in liquidity, related meme tokens may rise further in the future due to capital transmission.

3. User Hot Searches

• Morpho

DeFi lending protocol Morpho has completed a $50 million financing round led by Ribbit Capital, with participation from a16z crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Variant, Pantera, Brevan Howard, BlockTower and Kraken Ventures.

Morpho is a lending protocol that combines the current liquidity pool model used in Compound or AAVE with the capital efficiency of the P2P matching engine used in the order book. Morpho-Compound improves on Compound by providing the same user experience, the same liquidity, and the same liquidation parameters, but with an increased APY due to peer-to-peer matching.

2) Twitter

• Aptos

Yesterday, OKX Ventures and Aptos Foundation, a global blockchain leader, announced that they will jointly launch a new $10 million fund to support the growth of the Aptos ecosystem and the widespread adoption of Web3. The fund will be used to develop an accelerator program in partnership with Ankaa to drive the growth of high-quality projects and applications based on Aptos.

Original author: Cryptoskanda (X: @thecryptoskanda ) Old investors know that every time the market is down, people will blame the market for not attracting Web2 users, so no new funds come in. This is the so-called Mass Adoption narrative, that is, Cryptos Web3 products must cater to Web2s non-profit-oriented users. This logic is like African children will starve to death because you waste food in China, which makes sense but is illogical. Mass Adoption – First understand who Mass is? Who are MASS? Don’t just generalize to traditional Web2 users — Bullshit. “Mass” is a group of different but categorizable individuals.
