1. 市场环境

Cryptocurrency prices saw significant volatility on Thursday. Before the approval, ETH first fell to $3,500 around the closing time of the traditional U.S. market, then soared to around $3,900, and finally stabilized above $3,800 after confirmation. Bitcoin also fell to a low of $66,000, then soared to $68,300 before falling back below $68,000.

According to data from CoinGlass, during this turbulent period, liquidations of all leveraged crypto derivatives positions soared to more than $360 million that day, the highest level since May 1. Most of the liquidated positions were long positions, worth about $250 million, indicating that highly leveraged traders were concentrated on betting on an immediate surge after the ETF was approved. ETH traders were hit the hardest, with liquidations reaching $132 million.

2. 财富创造领域

1) Sector changes: RWA sector (ONDO)

Main reason: This bull market mainly originated from the traditional market buying brought by ETFs. As a way to introduce traditional financial markets, RWA has been constantly updating its products and raising funds. Recently, RWA layer 2 network Plume Network completed a $10 million seed round of financing.

Rising situation: ONDOs daily increase today is 13.46%;

影响后市的因素：

• 宏观货币政策变化：宏观环境方面，10年期美债收益率上升支撑RWA轨道基本面；需关注后续美元指数、美债收益率及加密市场变化，动态调整交易策略；

• 项目TVL变化：RWA轨道项目基本都是靠TVL支撑的，可以关注RWA轨道的TVL变化，如果某个项目的TVL持续上涨/突然上涨，一般是买入信号；

2) Sector changes: Ethereum staking sector (LDO, SSV, ETHFI)

Main reason: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today approved the 19 b-4 forms of multiple Ethereum spot ETFs, including those from BlackRock, Fidelity and Grayscale. Since ETFs only allow Ethereum tokens and do not allow staking, this regulation greatly reduces the attractiveness to ETF investors, so the Ethereum re-staking sector will usher in substantial benefits.

Rising situation: LDO rose 10.8% in the past 4 days, SSV rose 7.97% in the past 7 days, and ETHFI rose 22.85% in the past 4 days;

影响后市的因素：

• Fund inflow after ETH ETF is approved: At present, the ETF is in the countdown for listing after approval. If a large amount of funds flow in after approval, it will further push up the ETH price.

• Protocol trends: The cash flow of staking sector projects is relatively stable and easy to predict. They are a type of project whose token prices can be estimated more accurately. The main influencing factors are the protocol TVL, income distribution method, token destruction, etc.

3) The sector that needs to be focused on in the future: TON ecosystem

主要原因：

• Panteras investment in TON may be at least over US$250 million, which is Panteras largest investment in cryptocurrency in history.

• Notcoin, a high-traffic project in the TON ecosystem, has been listed on Binance, but the TON token itself has not yet been listed on Binance. The market expects that it is only a matter of time before TON is listed on Binance.

• The infrastructure of the TON ecosystem is in its early stages. Currently, high-traffic projects such as Notcoin and Catizen have emerged, demonstrating a huge user base backed by Telegram.

• The increase in the issuance of stablecoins in the ecosystem has brought financial vitality. The supply of USDT on the TON chain reached 130 million within two weeks, making it the eighth blockchain in terms of USDT issuance.

具体项目清单：

• TON: The native token of the Ton chain, currently listed on exchanges such as OKX and Bitget.

• FISH: Ton ecosystem head meme token.

• REDO: A dog-themed meme coin on the Ton chain.
