1. 市场环境

Yesterday, optimism continued to heat up, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)s major shift in attitude towards the potential approval of a spot Ethereum ETF excited crypto investors and pushed the market to continue to rise. The altcoin market was boosted by the positive 发展 of Ethereum, and the top 200 tokens by market value rose on Tuesday. Ethereum (ENS) performed best, up 29.3%, followed by SKALE (SKL) up 20.4%, Metis (METIS) up 16%, and MEME token PEPE hit a record high. At the same time, zkSync plans to generate tokens this week and airdrop in mid-June. The overall market benefit effect is very strong.

In the market, Bitcoin spot ETFs had a total net inflow of $241 million yesterday, continuing net inflows for 6 consecutive days; the deadline for the first round of spot Ethereum ETFs is approaching, and at least 5 spot Ethereum ETF issuers, including Fidelity, Invesco/Galaxy, Ark/21 Shares, and Franklin Clinton, have submitted revised 19 b-4 documents. The Nasdaq and SP 500 both hit record highs. As of the close, the SP, Dow Jones and Nasdaq all rose, up 0.25%, 0.17% and 0.22% respectively. Overall, the macro environment is relatively stable, and the wealth effect of the recent crypto market is expected to continue.

2. 财富创造领域

1) Sector changes: MEME sector (PEPE, FLOKI, PEOPLE)

Main reason: Affected by the sentiment of the crypto market, the market has rebounded sharply recently, funds have begun to flow, and the market wealth effect has spilled over to the Meme sector; if the market maintains an upward trend, you can continue to pay attention to Meme assets. Currently, the assets in this track have a certain wealth effect.

Rising situation: PEPE hit a record high and rose 19%, FLOKI rose 12% in a single day, and PEOPLE rose 30%+ in a single day;

影响后市的因素：

• Whether ETH continues to rise: ETH ecosystem Dex has good liquidity, and many tokens are denominated in ETH on DEX. The rise of ETH can be directly superimposed on the rise of ETH ecosystem assets. If the price of ETH continues to rise, the core assets on Ethereum can often maintain their popularity;

• Community hype enthusiasm: PEPE is the most suitable hype group for American retail investors in terms of imagery. The group is easy to be sentimental. At the same time, PEPE is relatively active in trading, and its price is prone to surges and plunges. The main feature of PEOPLE is that the project owner has almost given up the project, but it still has a high hype popularity. The core reason for the recent surge in PEOPLE is the long squeeze. FLOKI, as an old MEME, has also been quite active recently, which is worth paying attention to.

2) Sector changes: mainstream currency sectors (BTC, ETH, SOL)

Main reasons: Capital markets and risk markets generally surged, with Nasdaq, Dow Jones and SP 500 all hitting record highs. The mainstream assets in the crypto industry, BTC, ETH and SOL, also cleared the haze of the past two weeks.

Rising situation: BTC hovered around $70,000, ETH rose 3%, and SOL broke through $180;

影响后市的因素：

• Further positive news at the macro level: At present, the trend of mainstream crypto assets such as BTC basically shows a positive correlation with the liquidity of the US dollar. As the Federal Reserve gradually releases liquidity to the market, crypto assets will also gradually rise. However, in this process, investors should also pay attention to the Federal Reserves management of market expectations and keep up with the pace of policy;

• ETF approval and ecosystem development: For ETH, whether the ETF can be approved in the near future is an important factor in determining whether ETH can break out of the trend market. For SOL, whether the ecosystem can continue to prosper and gain more market adoption is the core factor that determines whether SOL can continue to rise in the future.

3）未来需要关注的领域：ETH 生态

The main reason is that the ETH ecosystem is relatively undervalued, and the ETH-BTC exchange rate has rebounded. With the release of ETF information and the SECs prosecution of related DeFi, there is room for the ETH ecosystem to expand.

具体货币列表：

• UNI: The first DeFi Swap project on blockchain applications, which received the Wells Notice from the SEC last month. Uniswap will make a self-certification in the near future to form trading opportunities;

• LDO: The leading LSD project in the ETH ecosystem, with a TVL of 34.5 billion US dollars and a valuation of less than 2.5 billion US dollars, is relatively undervalued;

• OP: The Base chain is built using OP stack technology. Last year, the Base chain signed a profit-sharing agreement with the OP Foundation and indirectly obtained Coinbase endorsement.

• PENDLE: The TVL of the project has continued to rise. The current TVL has reached 5.7 billion US dollars. The total market value of stablecoins has increased, and the popularity of the Restaking track has increased the demand for PENDLEs business in the bull market.

Whales Market: Whales Market launched the token issuance platform whales.meme, which is based on the Solana network. Users can safely launch tokens in just a few seconds using the gamified liquidity bootstrapping function. Dexter, the founder of Whales Market, said on his social platform that he launched the first meme coin, GMCAT, on the whales.meme platform. The meme coin is completely decentralized and is being airdropped to the gm.ai pre-sale address and xWHALES holders. Since it is the first token, there may be a certain wealth effect.

2）Twitter

Ethereum: According to Barrons, SEC staff have expressed to exchanges that they are inclined to approve Ethereum spot ETFs. Currently, five potential Ethereum spot ETF issuers have submitted revised 19 B-4 documents for proposed Ethereum spot ETFs to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe BZX). Updating the 19 b-4 filing is a key step, but more work needs to be done to ensure the final approval of the ETF. Potential issuers need to obtain S-1 application approval before the product begins trading. That is to say, there is a certain possibility that 19 b-4 and S-1 will be approved on May 23 at the same time, but the possibility is not great, and users can take profits in batches.

Retik Finance: Retik Finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) project. The core functions and components of its ecosystem include the following three modules: DeFi debit card, Retik Pay and Retik wallet. After the launch yesterday, the transaction volume exceeded 10 million, and the on-chain transaction was very popular.

从各地区热搜来看：

(1) The hot search terms in various regions in Asia yesterday had no obvious focus or characteristics.

(2) The focus in Europe, America and Latin America is very scattered, including RWA, AI, ETH ecology and meme tokens.

(3) Discussions on “crypto bubbles” are very concentrated in Africa and the Middle East.
