การแนะนำ

The SEC approved the 19 b-4 forms for eight ETH spot ETFs. Although online trading still needs to wait for the approval of the S-1 registration statement, the entire market has higher expectations for ETH price trends and has begun to warm up in advance.

1. Investment and Financing Observation

Last week, there were 33 investment and financing events in the crypto market, up 26.9% from the previous month, with a total fund size of over 270 million US dollars, up 58.8% from the previous month. As the market rebounded, the scale of the expansion was obvious:

DeFi announced 8 investment and financing deals , including Ethereum liquid re-staking platform Kelp raising $9 million, led by SCB Limited and Laser Digital;

GameFi track announced 1 investment and financing , RPG blockchain game Aria completed its seed round of financing, led by Folius Ventures, Spartan Group and Merit Circle;

The NFT track announced one investment and financing event . Singapore collectibles design company Mighty Jaxx received another US$11 million in the extension of its A+ round of financing.

Other Web3/crypto applications announced 8 financings , among which Web3 social media platform Farcaster completed a $150 million financing, led by Paradigm and participated by a16z crypto and others;

Judging from the month-on-month data, the number of investment and financing transactions in the cryptocurrency market began to rebound significantly last week, and the total scale of funds also expanded rapidly, indicating that institutions will increase capital leverage and investment frequency when the market recovers. Among them, there were 6 financings of tens of millions of dollars, including Fracmaster, Cysic, Dora Factory, Plume Network, Fantom and StripChain. The market is betting on DeFi, RWA and SocialFi. Among VCs, the most active institution this week was Paradigm, followed by OKX Ventures and Animoca Brands, which also performed actively.

2. Industry data

US BTC spot ETF has seen net inflows for 10 consecutive days

SoSoValue data: As of the close of trading on Friday, May 24, Eastern Time, BTC spot ETFs have had net inflows for 10 consecutive days. As of the 27th, the total net asset value of global BTC spot ETFs was US$61.203 billion, and the ETF net asset ratio (market value to BTC total market value) reached 4.53%.

In the data of the past two weeks, the net assets of BTC spot ETFs have shown positive growth, and the proportion of net assets has also been increasing. The growth rate of ETFs is significantly higher than the output of BTC, that is, the buying power is greater than the supply. It is expected that the BTC market will show a slow upward fluctuation.

Hong Kong ETH ETF trading volume increased significantly

As of the close of May 24, the total transaction volume of 6 Hong Kong virtual asset ETFs was approximately HK$45.3323 million, of which the transaction volume of 3 ETH ETFs was significantly higher than in the past. This happened after the approval of the 19 b-4 form of the US ETH spot ETF, which shows that the US policy and economic trends have a strong impact on the crypto market, and the Hong Kong ETF market still needs more power to guide and drive.

Hong Kong ETF transaction data on May 24

The transaction volume of Huaxia BTC ETF (3042.HK) was HK$15.168 million; the transaction volume of Huaxia ETH ETF (3046.HK) was HK$8.5851 million;

The transaction volume of Harvest BTC ETF (3439.HK) was HK$6.8468 million; the transaction volume of Harvest ETH ETF (3179.HK) was HK$9.2268 million;

The transaction volume of Bosera HashKey BTC ETF (3008.HK) was HK$1.7207 million; the transaction volume of Bosera HashKey ETH ETF (3009.HK) was HK$3.7849 million;

Selling pressure eased, whales increased their holdings by 20,000 BTC

IntoTheBlock data on May 23: In the past week, whale addresses holding 1,000 to 10,000 BTC have increased their holdings by a total of 20,000 BTC. This shows that for long-term holders, the buying bullish phase has begun to return, especially compared with the sharp sell-off that occurred after BTC reached a high of $73,000 in March. The recent market selling pressure has been significantly reduced, providing more room for bullish sentiment.

Farcaster user data hits new high

Dune data: The decentralized social protocol Farcaster data has hit a record high since the 21st:

• May 22, Farcaster day interactions (Unique Reaction) 69,901 times, Unique Cast 60,387 times;

• On May 25, Farcasters total revenue exceeded $1.45 million, and currently stands at $1.4579 million, with a total number of users reaching over 400,000;

Farcaster positions itself as the infrastructure in the social field, which is closer to the concept of Layer rather than a single Dapp application. This gives Farcaster the potential to derive more diverse and broader application scenarios, and also makes its growth performance significantly different from other SocialFi products, making it worthy of focus.

On May 22, Farcaster has completed a $150 million financing, led by Paradigm, with participation from a16z crypto, Haun, USV, Variant, Standard Crypto, etc. The announcement stated that this year will focus on the growth of daily active users and adding developer primitives to the protocol, such as channel functions and private messaging functions.

5 Conclusion

Last week, the FIT 21 bill was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, marking a friendly shift in the U.S. regulatory authorities’ attitude toward cryptocurrencies. The favorable policies have clarified more standardized regulatory directions and political support for the cryptocurrency industry. The U.S. BTC spot ETF has seen net inflows for 10 consecutive days, driving the expected slow upward fluctuations in the BTC market. In addition, the number of investment and financing transactions in the cryptocurrency market has begun to rebound sharply, and the total scale of funds has also expanded rapidly, indicating that institutions will increase capital leverage and investment frequency when the market recovers, and the market is betting on DeFi, RWA and SocialFi.

This week, 18 token projects will be unlocked, among which PRIME, OP, Sui, DYDX, 1INCH and ENA have a cumulative unlocking amount of more than 300 million US dollars. As the total amount of circulating tokens in the market becomes more and more inflated, whether there are more takeover orders in the crypto market still needs to be carefully judged. At the same time, as the Trump team accepts cryptocurrency donations, positive market information is increasing, and it is expected that there will be more and more crypto topics surrounding the election in the future; and the fee incentive mechanism voting launched by UniSwap this week may bring stability and benefits to UNI and the industry in the future market.

We can see that with the US legislative attitude towards encryption, the overall trend is positive and market confidence is recovering. Although the final implementation time is still uncertain, it has taken a big step on the path of regulatory challenges and laid a solid foundation for future innovation and development of the industry.
